Myles' POV
I am currently sitting next to James and Max, waiting for Miss Kate to come out. Today are the regionals auditions and I am super nervous. Even though our studio is the best studio in the world I still cease to believe that I have a guaranteed spot. Of course I hope I make it but who I really hope makes it is Richelle. We have been best friends for as long as I can remember. She's always been there for me and I have done the same for her. Even though I made A-troupe last year we are still super tight. I am positive she will make it though since she took her failure as an opportunity to improve before auditioning again. That's what I like about her. She's determined and realises that if she doesn't get what she wants she just has to work harder. My thoughts are interrupted by my best friends voice. "Hey Noah." She smiles casually. "Hi Richy." I stand up to hug her and she returns the hug. "Are you excited?" I ask her. Knowing Richelle she would be more excited than nervous. "Super." She replies cheerfully. "I know you will slay." I tell her which causes her face to light up like a Christmas tree. She hugs me once more before Miss Kate comes out, signalling the start of auditions. She explains the usual to us and says we are doing free-style first. I'm in group three and Richelle is after me. I really love free-style. You can do the unexpected and surprise everyone. Five minutes of stretching felt like five seconds since before I knew it I was next up to perform. This guy Nick went. He was good but not A-troupe good. I ran onto stage and proceeded to do jumps, tricks and turns. I finished a section of pirouettes with my hands over my eyes, disabling my ability to spot but thanks to my heightened senses it didn't effect me at all. I finished with a back layout and let Richy take the floor. As I suspected she slayed the entire thing. She has really improved allot and I can actually see the determination in her eyes. When we were auditioning for the Nationals team I remember how Richelle blew everyone away, especially James and now she's doing it again, James too. He was cheering super loudly and after the auditions he pulled her into another hug thing. Sure Richelle has grown but so has James amd she's as short as an ant compared to him. I'm not being serious though. I wouldn't be friends with an ant since I would probably step on her or lose her. Even though Richelle is short she's such a powerhouse. "Great job everyone, you guys are absolutely amazing!!! You guys can head down to Java Junction and we will inform you shortly." Miss Kate informs us. I walk down, chatting to Richelle. It's like déjà vu since we order a juice and sit down in the exact same spot. Alfie walks over to us and sits opposite to us. "Hey Noah and..." He trails off since he doesn't know her name. "Richelle." She corrects him. "Richelle. Anyway you guys were amazing you will definitely make it!" "Thanks." We engage in conversation until he brings up Richelle and I's...umm relationship if you can even call it that. I really like Richelle. I realised it when I was at Internationals. Abi was face timing me and she mentioned Richelle. At this point my mind just shut down. She kept saying how she has improved so much and that she talks about our friendship everyday. I realised what good friends we are and that Abi won't make me as happy as Richelle would. But Richelle would never like me. She just sees me as a friend and that's all we will ever be. "W-what we aren't dating." I say super quickly. He stares at me weirdly. "Umm are you sure I swore you were a couple." "Yeah we are pretty sure Alfie." Richelle concludes. "You can go now Alfie." He rolls his eyes before standing up and exiting. "That was weird." She says. I start laughing. She stares at me like I have three heads. "I'm sorry it's just I remember you said that when Giselle asked if we were a couple at national auditions." She begins to smile. "You remember that?" "Yep." I say popping the P. All of a sudden Skylar comes charging in. "They have made their decision." She basically screams, catching the attention of a few random costumers. Quick as lightning Richelle jumps up and runs out. She grabs Skylar's arm and they spin around in fits of giggles. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Richelle is truly the cutest human being in the world. She always knows how to make me laugh. I chuckle a little before going out of Java Junction. When I enter studio A Richelle is already there and chatting with Skylar. I walk over to her and smile slightly. She returns the favour. "Attention everyone the people who made A-troupe is.... Riley, Michelle, Skylar, Alfie, Amy, Cassie, Piper, Latroy, Henry, Cassie, Piper, Noah and Richelle!" Everyone erupts in applause. People who didn't make it head out. I can see James hugging Riley and Piper. Skylar is hugging Cierra who is crying. Probably because she didn't make it. My eyes dart around the room until I spot Richelle. She's grinning as wide as the Amazon River. She runs over towards me and I instantly wrap my arms around her waist and gently lift her up. I spin a giggling Richelle around. I place her down and she pulls me into a big hug. "I'm so glad we made A-troupe together." She whispers into my chest. We continue to enjoy one another's embrace, not even noticing the noise quieting down. We don't pull apart until we hear a cough. We look up to see everyone staring at us. We pull away and look at them casually. They all begin to smirk. Especially James. "So what was that hug about?" He asks smugly. "Oh we were just congratulating each other on getting into A-troupe..." I trail off. "That didn't look like just a hug." "Yeah you two have allot of chemistry." Miss Kate says. Wait miss Kate too. Really? "Umm yeah we are really good friends." I answer them. "Andddd..." West urges us to continue. I open my mouth but close it as Richelle begins the speak. "And I like him." My eyes widen and I turn to face her. "Y-you do!" I say in shock. "Umm yeah." She mumbles while looking at the ground. "Well Richelle why didn't you tell me?" I question her. "I don't know." I know she's not telling me the truth. There's more to her reason. "Richelle I know you are lying, tell me." "I thought you wouldn't like me like that." She looks up at me. "Well I do." She mirrors my previous shocked face. "Really?" I nod and grin at her. She grins back. We completely forget about the current staring that A-troupe is doing and lean in. I have waited for this moment for ever. Our lips are about to touch. "CALLED IT!" A voice yells from the doorway. Everyone turns to see Giselle who is leaning against the doorway, smirking. She approaches us and folds her arms. "What did I tell ya?" Richelle blushes deep red. "Wait what did you tell her?" Amy pipes up. "Well young child, when these two chickens were auditioning for nationals two years ago I saw them hugging. So the curious little Giselle in me asked if they were dating and they answered no. This one here right here," she paused and bopped Richelle's nose causing her to flinch. "Said she would never like Noah yet I just walked in and saw they were about to have a good old snog so look who was right? ME!" She finishes smugly. By the time Giselle has finished her rant everyone is laughing. "Aww that's so cute." They all say in unison. Their laughter fails to die down. I look at Richelle and we literally have the exact same thought. We hold hands and run out of studio A. "Have fun lovebirds!" Giselle yells probably waking up half of China. I chuckle. What are we doing to do with her?
A/u hope you loved part two. It took me forever to write. Have a nice day!!!
TOODLES!!!!
