The Next Step: after internationals

#JILEY

Riley: i was in the Studio, doing some chores for Miss Kate. One of my chores is that I had to go into the costume cupboard and find a pirate costume for the new J - troupe. I walked into the music room, humming along to my favourite song (lost and found)  and I saw James sitting down typing  on his laptop. I tip-toed next to him and nudged him with my elbow.

"What you up to?"
He immediately slammed the laptop down.
"Hey." he replied
"Who was that?"
"Uh - no one"
"Yeh right James, tell me honestly."
Suddenly, a hurricane of different thoughts and emotions rushed into my head. What if he was talking to another girl behind my back? What if he was planning to leave the country without me?

I started to panic. What if these things were true and he was planning to leave me? But then we wouldn't have done it so privately, or would he? Maybe he wanting me to see him texti someone so I would break up with him and he can go off with her.I then thought to myself - Riley, stop overthinking things- you are jumping to conclusions before you know literally anything about what he's doing.

"I kind of wanted to keep it a surprise from you but I suppose I can't anymore. I booked a holiday in Spain for just us! That's the reason why I slammed the laptop down, I didn't want you to see" Ahhhhhhh, I totally get it now. The whole reason he did it is because he was booking a holiday for us. That's So sweet.

"Thanks James. Anyway, will you help me find a pirate costume?"
"Sure, where is it?'
" in there" I pointed to the door of the costume cupboard.
"Let's get going"
I slipped the key into the lock and pushed the door open.
Clothes were strewn all over the floor and on the shelves. There was no order whatsoever. It was just complete chaos.
James strolled in like it was nothing, while I was staring at the huge pile of clothes in front of me thinking 'how am I ever going to find the costume now?'
As if he almost read my thoughts, James said,"come on Riley, we'll find it" he was kneeling down, throwing clothes all over the floor.
"Throwing clothes all over the floor is not going to help. What if the costume is over there, where you have chucked all the other clothes?"
"Good point" he nodded and shrugged his shoulders.
"Why don't we get all the clothes, fold them up and place them where they are supposed to be or hang them up."
"Because that will take ages."
"Agh" and I nudged him with my elbow, even harder this time. "If you don't want to do it, I will.
--- 30 mins later ---
Finally, after what seemed like three hours, I found the pirate costume, with James, and gave it to Miss Kate.
"Thank you Riley, you did a huge favour for me, it's Phoebe's day off.Where was it?"
"Oh, shoved on a shelf."
" well thanks , Riley. With winning internationals, there is so many things to do, phone calls to pick it, papers to sign. It literally is mayhem.
"You're welcome, miss Kate." I said as I walked out the door. I'd love to be doing her job one day, even if it's just for a season. Being Miss Kate sounds awesome.
