Falling for you *A Next Step Jiley Story* Book One *Finished*

Chapter 3.

A/N THIS FIRST PART OF THE CHAPTER IS JAMES' POINT OF VIEW. NO ONE BEGGED FOR IT BUT, I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE IT JAMES' POINT OF VIEW FOR THE FIRST BIT OF THE CHAPTER. WHEN I SWITCH TO RILEY'S POINT OF VIEW, I WILL TELL YOU IN A NOTE LIKE THIS ONE! OKYY ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

James' P.O.V

I wake up from the sound of people I know. I look around the room and mostly everyone from the next step studio is here.. Except for Emily and Stephanie. Doesn't surprise me. I look down to see Riley asleep on my shoulder. I smile to myself and everyone starts "Awwing" us. Riley moves and wakes up. Her eyes go widen when she sees everyone from the next step in the room again.

"W-what are you guys doing here?" She asks, sitting up beside me. I slowly sit up and look at them, waiting for an answer.

"Well, Chloe forgot something and wanted me to come with her...." Michelle explained. "So, everyone followed us and now we're here.."

"What did Chloe forget?" Riles says, looking at Chloe.

She giggles. "Nothing. I just wanted to see if you guys were asleep on the bed together... Beth is going to be soooo mad!" She giggles again then leaves the room. Im guessing that she's calling Beth because it's the first thing Chloe says into the phone. I sigh and follow Chloe.

"Chlo, Beth and I arent dating... We're just friends."

"Mhmm. SURE!!!!!" She says, giggling again. I sigh and walk back into the room looking at Riley.

"Well, It's official. Beth is going to hate both of us. But, Mostly me."

She nods and sighs. "Well, I guess I should get going... We have dance tomorrow and we really need to practice the routine...."

I nod and smile. "Don't worry Riles. I'll protect you from Beth. The worst she can do is convince Kate to kick you out of A-Troupe."

"Not on my watch!" Michelle says. "I'm dance captain. And, As dance captain, I make the desicions around here. And, Riley, You are not going to get kicked out of A-Troupe. Emily and Stephanie left. We're having A-Troupe Auditions late today. If Beth is Auditioning, I'll make sure she doesn't get in. Plus, She probally only wants to be close to James. Which in my case, Is not a good enough reason."

I have to agree with Michelle. I mean, Beth and I dated for like 5 minutes last year and she still can't get over me. She has to get over me already!

(A/N I'm switching to Riley's P.O.V)

Riley's P.O.V

* At the A-Troupe Auditions*

Right now, We're all sitting in the studio, watching B-Troupe audition. Beth spots me and glares at me. I sigh and stand up.

"Riley? Where are you going? Don't you want to stay?" Michelle says, eyeing Beth.

"No. I was actually going to help James with the routine...." I say.

"Oh." She says, nodding. "I see.. Well.. I'll text you the deeds is Giselle gets in, Okay?"

I nod. "Okay. Sounds good." And, with that I leave to James' school.

*At James' School*

As I wait for James, I'm thinking about what Michelle said in the hospital last week.  She's right. Beth doesn't deserve to be on the A-Troupe team. Beth isn't a good dancer. I mean, no offense to her. But, Michelle is totally right. Giselle does deserve it more. She works more than Beth does.

"Riles?"

"Huh? Oh Hey James." I look at him. "Are you ready to learn the routine?"

"Actually, I can't. I have way too many things on my plate." He says, trying to walk away but, I grab his wrist and look at him.

"What?"

"My math teacher just told us that we have an annual Math exam tomorrow. I can't do it Riles."

"JAMES! You know this stuff."

"No I dont."

"Here. I can prove it." I say getting cards out of my backpack.

"You brought Q-Cards? Really Riles?"

I show him a picture of a triangle.

"Figure out the area of the triangle."

"Riley..."

"James. Just. Do. It."

"Alright... Uh.. 3?"

"James.. What is this?"

"Uh.. A right triangle?"

"Right. And, What is the angle?"

"90?"

"Yeah.. So, How many degrees do you need to figure out the rest of the angles?"

"60."

"Right. See."

"Riley, That was one question. There's going to be like 50 on the exam. How is this going to help me?"

"James, You know this stuff. You've been studying for 3 weeks now. C'mon. Let's dance now. Don't worry about Math right now. You'll ace it. I promise."

I start dancing and James just stares at me.

"Riles, What are you doing?"

"Dancing."

People start staring and James looks at them.

"Move along. Nothing to see here." He says and people start to leave.

"Riles, Stop."

"Come on James. Join me."

"Here?"

"Yes James. Here."

"But, I don't know the moves..."

"Then, I'll teach them to you."

"But Riley..."

"Please... Do it for me?"

"Alright Fine."

I smile and start teaching him the moves. As soon as we're done, James smiles at me and steps closer to me.

"Riley... I just want to say.... That I really like y-"

"Hold that thought. Sorry. My phone's ringing..." I say, Answering the phone.

(R= Riley and M= Michelle)

M: Hey Riley! I just wanted to tell you who got into A-Troupe.

R: Okay. Who got in?

M: Well....

R: How was Giselle?

M: AMAZING!

R: and....

M: Beth? Omg. She was horrible. Her answer to my question was all about James.... Well... Pretty much.

R: I see... So. Who got in?

M: The people that got in are...
