Opposites Attract

Take Action

I saw the attached chapter pic on Google, and I was like "OMFG MY BOOK!!!" Congrats to bluebird321123 and Starry_Eyed_Dreamer_ for guessing the Secret POV! Details in authors note!

Riley's POV:

"And the, I was so shocked she had a picture of you two that I dropped the phone!" I finished telling Emily, whom I had run home to immediately after the accidental phone switch discovery! I mean, how did Amanda even get that picture?! Now she's gonna blackmail The Next Step with it! I obviously deleted the picture, but she still knows about it! "Riley, I can tell you're panicking in your head right now." Said Emily, putting a hand on my shoulder. "Calm. Down. I'm upset too, but you can't completely freak out right now. We need a plan." She said slowly, taking her hand away. But for once, I didn't want to think of a plan! I just wanted to...to do something! To take action! So I did just that. I jumped up, ignoring Emily calling my name, grabbed my jacket and Amanda's phone, then marched all the way to Elite, where I knew she was rehearsing right now. I saw Amanda in the window, and knocked on the door. Lucien opened it. "Yes?" He asked rudely. "Tell Amanda to come outside with my phone please." I said, and he gave me a confused look, but called her out anyway. Once outside, Amanda handed me my phone. "Sorry about that..." She said awkwardly. "About what? The fact that we switched phones, or that you were trying to blackmail The Next Step?" She looked taken back. "Oh, and photo, deleted! So good luck with that plan." I sassed. "How did you-" "1717. Your lucky number. Oh, and don't you ever mess with my sister again! I mean, who do you think you are?! We're dance enemies, that was a real-life situation! What you were going to blackmail us with could've ruined her whole life! Not just affect her dance life! There are boundaries, but you just plowed over them with a bulldozer, didn't you?!" I yelled. And let me tell you, that rant felt good. "I-I-" She was at a loss for words. but then she did something completely unexpected. She sat down on the bench outside Elite, and started to cry. It's so...un-Elite. I stood there awkwardly. "I-I know and I-I'm s-sorry." She managed to get out. "Um...are you okay?" I asked, unsure of what to do. She shook her head. "T-That's a h-horrible thing f-for me to use." She cried. "What do you mean?" I asked. She managed to stop crying, and looked up at me. "I mean I promised myself I would never bully someone for that again. It was the night that girl was sent to the hospital for coming out to her friends, because they beat her up. I...was one of those friends." And then she just started crying all over again.
