The Next Step

Chapter 6

Giselle's POV

I'm not sure what happened a minute ago. Everyone's talking about what just happend. I don't know what to think. I see Riley glance over at me. She slowly walks up to me.

Riley: "Hey"

Giselle: "Hey"

Riley: "Do you know what happend?"

Giselle: "I don't know. She said it was a guy she knew a long time ago, but she didn't tell me anything more than that."

Riley: "Oh, ok"

Ella walked in at that moment. Everyone turned to her. She just walked past them and pretended nothing happend. She walked over to me and stood beside. Then Stephanie spoke.

Stephanie: "What happened?"

Ella looked down and fidgeted with her hands. Everyone was looking at her expecting an answer. So I spoke up.

Giselle: "She doesn't want to talk about."

Everyone looked at me.

Ella looked at me and mouthed "Thank you" when nobody was looking. I gave her a little smile.

Giselle: "Let's get back to the dance, ok."

Everyone stood there for a moment. Then they walked back to their place still glancing at Ella.

Then the music started. Everyone was dancing but nobody seemed to have any energy. We were about halfway through the dance when the door opened. Miss Kate ran in.

Kate: "ELLA"

West turned off the music and everyone stopped dancing.

Kate: "ELLA" she cried a second time.

Miss Kate ran up to Ella. I think Kate was crying. She grabbed Ella's arm and took one look at it. Then she pulled her into a hug. She held onto her so tightly.

Miss Kate: "Ella, what happened? Why didn't you tell anyone? Who did this? Are you ok?"

Ella looked a little scared. I always found that Ella seemed a little scared of other people. Chris had walked in and he pulled Kate away.

Chris: "Are you ok?" Chris said it calmly unlike Kate.

Ella nodded.

Chris: "I think we're done for the day. Have a good night, dancers."

Everyone went to grab their stuff. Ella grabbed her bag. Than Daniel called her name.

Daniel " Hey, Ella"

Ella turned around

Ella "I'm sorry, I have to go."

She ran off. I walked over to Daniel.

Giselle: "Hey, what was that all about?"

Daniel: "I don't know."

We stood there for a moment staring at the door. I turned to Daniel.

Giselle: "So, want to head to the juice bar?"

Daniel looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him.

Daniel: "Sure. I'd love to."

Giselle: "Ok, let's go"

We head out with our bags. We got to the juice bar and sat down at a table. Daniel went to order our drinks. When he came back, he brought my favourite drink. Strawberry banana. I can't believe he remembered that. It was a long time ago that I told him that. He sat down and we talked for a few minutes.

Daniel: "Hey, look over there."

He pointed to another corner of the juice bar.

I looked over to see Ella, once again, hanging out with the J-troupers.

Giselle: "I don't get why she always hangs out with them"

Daniel: "Well, they are her age and everyone in A-Troupe are already friends."

Giselle: "Ya, and I guess there's a lot going on in her life. I just wish she would tell me."

Daniel: "Ya, she's probably upset right now."

There was a brief pause before Daniel spoke again.

Daniel: "If you don't mind me asking, what happened earlier today, when you were alone with her?"

Giselle: "Oh, she told me that it was a guy she knew a long that did that to her. But she didn't want to tell me anything else."

Daniel: "Oh...ok."

Ella's POV

I'm hanging out with the J-Troupers because I feel like they understand me. Like they know what I'm talking about, and accept me for who I am. I have friends in A-troupe like Giselle, Chloe and Riley but I feel they might not get me if I tell them what's really going on.
