Off season - N O C H E L L E

{A/N: according to everything that happened on season 6 ;).  }

Richelle's POV:

I am entering this studio called AMC Dance, this is where I'm attending a workshop for three weeks, after winning regionals we have a little break that it's about 6 weeks. Almost every year I kept going to The Next Step during those breaks just to keep my dancing on track, but since Noah left and all that Chloe said to me about being a professional dancer on the industry I wanna take my dancing to a whole new level and grow a little more to become better.

I've been thinking this past days that it might be the last year I wanna compete on TNS, I wanna have more experience and be part of the real world of dance as a professional.

As I walk into the main studio I see about 8 people, mostly boys, they seem really good, you can tell by their posture and the way their feet is positioned unintentionally with perfect technique, wow.

I give the instructor my information and go in the center as she said to begin my stretching, while I was on the middle of doing that I see the last guy I expected to see, Noah.

I haven't seen Noah since we won regionals, almost a month ago. He approached me with a little smile on his face.

Noah: Hey Rich
Richelle: Heeyy, What are you doing here? - I say with curiosity-
Noah: I'm attending the workshop, are you too?
Richelle: Yes, but why? I thought you already auditioned for something
Noah: No, I haven't, I wanna be more prepared, so that way not even Elliot can get the part over me.
Richelle: Yeah- I say faking a laugh, it's still kinda hard talking about him, I guess Noah noticed cause he said...-
Noah: Sorry, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable
Richelle: It's okay... wanna stretch together?
Noah: I'd love to

After stretching for a few minutes the choreographer appeared and we start the class, it was really fun and today was solo day so we could perform as individuals and he could see our strengths, I did amazing, I felt confortable but still pushed myself to be my best, it turned out great, Noah did great too, I mean he has always been an extraordinary dancer, maybe even close to my level.

After the class everyone went home but I decided to stay a bit to practice some improv, after a couple songs "love on the brain" by Rihanna came on and I started to improv basically a contemporary emotional solo I could say.

"And babe I'm fist fighting with fire, just to get close to you"

I see Noah watching me from the side and I smile a little at him

I kept on doing some moves when the drop of the song came and I could see Noah joining my now duet I guess...

"Must be love on the brain"

At first we started dancing on our own but suddenly our minds kind of connected and we started dancing together, it was actually a beautiful feeling for me,  I honestly thought our duet on regionals was the last time we'll ever dance this connected.

We were finishing with the biggest smiles on our faces, a big lift was perfect for the ending we did it, he brought me down to the ground again, our faces a little too close in my opinion, I felt myself tense up at the thought of being so close to him, I felt his accelerated breathing against my face and saw that smile was still on his face, we just stand there, staring into each other's eyes, when we hear...

...: Umh... excuse me?

We separated quickly and saw Elliot standing there looking at us.

Noah: What are you doing here?
Elliot: I practise here
Noah: Ugh... now we'll have to see you?
Elliot: I know, a whole pleasure for you. Hi Rich
Richelle: Hi Elliot...
Elliot: Well I guess you two are here for the workshop
Richelle: Yeah...
Elliot: Oh well, I guess I'll se you more often than expected Ri
Richelle: I thought you were going to California
Elliot: Yeah... change of plans.
