Take My Picture

Chapter ten

Walking into the studio was kind of intimidating, there were so many amazing dancers there, and so many of them already know everyone. Madison explained to us that she dances here regularly, so she led us around all day.

We're doing one hip-hop together, contemporary, and musical theatre together. She's also doing jazz with Brinley and the extra hip-hop class instead of the ballet class. To say that today was an intense day would be an understatement. We are all incredibly exhausted but still happy and in amazing spirits. Brinley and Madison got on so well, which was so great because no one felt like a third wheel.

Walking out to the car park to wait for our rides, we couldn't help but talk incessantly about the classes we took part in. "I absolutely loved the hip-hop combo we all did. Oh my gosh, it was so fun, and the song ugh. I do love Camila." I gushed as we walked through the lobby.

"She is pretty great and so nice," Madison commented.

"You've met Camila?!" Brinley and I yelled at the same time.

"Yeah, I have. So how are you guys getting home?" Madison questioned as we made our way through the front doors. I looked over to Brinley to shoot her a questioning look because I still wasn't sure if her dad could pick us up.

"We're gonna have to catch the bus," Brinley spoke up, catching my unspoken question. Just then Demi pulled up and parked close to where we were standing. Madison walked around to the passenger side and ushered us to come over.

"Brinley, come meet my sister." She called just before hopping into the car. Brinley looked over at me, worry and excitement clear on her face.

"Don't worry Brin, she'll love you," I reassure her and add a smile for good measure. I grab onto her hand and lead her to the driver side door where Demi is getting out of her car.

"Harriet! Oh my god hi." Demi pulled me into a hug. Yeah, this is weird. I mean we text a lot but this is only the second time I've ever seen her in person. When we pull back from the hug I introduce Brinley as the friend/fan I was going to give her number to, referencing our first text messages. "It's nice to meet you, Brinley," Demi hugged her too, Brinley honestly looked like she was about to explode and go all fangirl. "I love your name." Demi continued when she pulled back and Brinley still hadn't said anything.

"I think she's in shock," I explain to Demi. She just looked back towards me and giggled, waiting for her to catch up. And when she finally did catch up, it was quite hilarious.

"You're Demi Lovato. I-I you, w-what is my life. Hi, I like you," Brinley managed to stutter out, blushing like crazy when she realised what she just said. We all laughed, like crazy people. Even Madison was laughing in the car. Brinley couldn't help but giggle either when she realised how funny it would have been to hear her say what she did. "I'm sorry, but I've just admired you for so long and I never really thought I'd meet you," Brinley explained her reaction when we all calmed down.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. But I have to say, yours has been the best reaction in a while." Demi smirked and pulled Brinley into her side and put her arm around her shoulder.

"We should get going Brin, I don't particularly want to miss the bus and wait for another one," I tell Brinley while picking my dance bag off the ground and slinging it over my shoulder.

"Oh yeah sure, it was so nice to meet you both," Brinley said doing the same with her dance bag and waving to Madison in the car.

"Wait, are you too in any particular rush to get home? I was gonna take Madison out for dinner, do you want to come with us?" Demi questioned taking a step towards us.

"I mean I'm in no rush," Brinley nodded to say she wasn't either, "but you go, we don't want to intrude on your time together. I know you don't get to see each other much." I tell them not wanting to intrude.
