She took out her key and walked into the living room to see something she wouldn't have ever suspected-
even though she simply should have.
***
She gasped at what she saw unfold in front of her.
Lio was sitting there, painting April Johnson's toe nails!
He snapped his head to face the door and his eyes grew wide.
'Oh my gosh can you believe Jill just did that?!' April shrieked at the T.V. Season 2 of Dance Moms was playing on the TV
'Rory! Hi I-'
"Let me get this straight, Lio,' Rory questioned with a straight face, 'You ditched the tournament to paint nails?'
'Well April wanted to.'
'Lio! Your life doesn't revolve around April! Grow up and do what you want to do!' She snapped. This wasn't exactly good news after what had just happened at the tournament.
LIo rolled his eyes. 'Whatever, I know. Why are you here though? Shouldn't you be at the tournament?'
Hunter walked in and was shocked to see April in Lio's house.
'Hey are you ok?' He asked her
'Why ask if you know the answer?!' She yelled.
'Wait, what happened?' Lio asked.
'That guy-'
'The announcer said Rory can't be in the tournament because she's a girl.' Hunter interrupted her. Gosh, he just knew exactly when to interrupt.
'Yeah, so here I am.'
'That's really messed up. We should fight back. How can someone be so closed minded?'
'Oh, don't play this game and be a hypocrite, Lio. Remember how you and Hunter treated me? I'm still ashamed that I had to prove myself in order for you to see what I can do'
Hunter and Lio's stomachs churned. They remembered how they treated her, and the things they said.
'Wow. We were that announcer guy.' Hunter said softly.
'Rory, we're really-'
'Save it, I don't care. Let's just find a way to do something about the tournament.'
The boys nodded in agreement.
April finally turned around after being hypnotized by the reality show.
'Eww I thought you're supposed to take the trash out, not bring it in!' She wined.
'Well then why are you here?' Rory questioned.
Hunter snickered, but stopped when April gave him a menacing glare.
'I don't have time for this, I'll be upstairs' Rory shook her head and headed for the stairs.
Hunter grabbed her arm gently; 'Hey, wanna come over? We can play FIFA and plan...revenge'
'Definetly.' She looked over to Lio and April.
'Liooo! Get over here and paint my nails!'
He ran over to April like a little rat and did as she asked.
Rory rolled her eyes, scoffed then ran after Hunter. 'Wait Up!' She yelled.
He ran faster, and she started to catch up with him. Rory jumped onto his back and covered his eyes, causing him to fall into the grass, her right next to him. They sat up and stared at each other.
