Replacing Richelle

9. Typical

Amy's POV:

When I walk back into the studio, Noah and Richelle are talking and laughing. I feel a little excluded, but it's okay. I'm just happy they're talking again. Now we can finally focus on the trio. Richelle waves and we all get into beginning position. Noah looks as if he's finally ready for this trio and I'm so thankful. I know I'm with the strongest two dancers on the team and I hope I get a spot on the future A Troupe.

It comes up to my overhead lift and I've never felt better. Richelle is doing her solo section and Noah is actually looking at me whilst I'm in the air. Then he puts me down and I think that lift has never gone better. He dances around Richelle whilst I do the same section Richelle has just done. They're in a different lift, turning around and around. That's when I get an idea.

I wait until the end of the dance to announce my idea, but I'm so excited. It's like there's something inside me that has to say it.
"I think we should add a storyline because the ending doesn't really make sense right now." It's true. Noah's trying to run after both of us and it isn't working.
"Well, I could stay in the middle at the end and you two could both leave in different directions?" He looks at us. I nod, but Richelle has something better.

Richelle's POV:

I suggest Noah choosing me because I know we can play the part easily. Whether or not Amy can pull off what I suggest, I don't know.
"So basically. He comes over, does a lift and maybe does something to show he chose me and you can walk off. At that moment, he can run after you but then you do the ending we've been practising. At the end, he can turn around and look at me." Amy is so excited to hear my idea. This is how I know I'm a good leader, dance captain and, of course, dancer.
"I could kiss you?" Noah is kind of asking
my permission. And here I was thinking I had a romantic date where I would get my first kiss. Guess not. Amy gasps in shock, thinking he's betraying Jacquie. News flash! He already has.
"Yeah. That sounds good." I say, but I'm internally sighing. He knows I'm emotionally stiff. Why would he do this to me?
We leave practise there after that and I head to the lockers. Noah catches me before I leave and states that I need to be ready by six. I've got two and a half hours! How am I going to prepare myself!? Lola! I'll get Lola to help me.

Lola's POV:

We're going through Richelle's closet looking for something she can wear for the date when I get a text from Noah. It tells me where she's going and what he's going to do. He's a romantic deep down, clearly. It's so sweet seeing my best friend happy though. I find the perfect outfit for what they're doing, but she's skeptical, thinking I don't know where they're going.
"What if we're going to like a really fancy place and I wear that? Noah's going to change his mind and get back with Jacquie, who by the way hates me because I stole her boyfriend. I just want this to be perfect. Help me,Lola!" I can't help but laugh.
"Calm down Richelle. Go get changed and then we'll talk while you do your makeup. I know how you feel about that kind of stuff." She nods, finally abiding. I finally get to text Noah back.

I told him that she's going in a beautiful pinafore dress type clothing. He sends back a heart face emoji and I finally understand why they are meant to be together. It's because they can clearly only talk in emojis. I mean seriously. I send a nice long paragraph when I need a rant and all I get back from Richelle are emojis most the time. It's obviously the same with Noah. Typical.

A/N: First Lola POV! Go Lola! Next chapter will be their first date. Where do you think they're going?

Also thank you so much for the continued support. I'm nearly at 600 reads and I cannot believe it! I know I keep saying this, but I really never did think this would happen for me. Thank you!
