Chapter 40~Waves

{Dianne's POV}

Wednesday night was a calm and quiet one. We mainly just relaxed. Thursday was like most days the A's bullied me along with their minion Evie and sort of Vanessa. I didn't even know what to feel when it happened. Was I supposed to be scared, confused, angry or self-conscious? Maybe I was supposed to be none of those emotions. Maybe they aren't even being that mean and I'm overreacting. Yeah that's it I'm overreacting. Finally, the confusion was over I was simply overreacting. I looked at myself in the mirror, fiddling with my hair. I looked awful, I'm so ugly. Urgh. Anyway so Thursday was like most days but now the pressure was on it's Friday and Joe and I have to perform or next dance which is to a song called waves. I hope it goes as well as last weeks hopefully even better. We have to compete against other schools in our area, only two acts got through in our division. In our area, there are a few good trios and group dances and some good soloists. Joe and I are one of the only duets in our area. I'm nervous but I know I not nearly as nervous as Joe. As I am on the subject of dance Macklynn actually has a dance competition coming up this Saturday. I can't wait to watch my baby girl perform. I know she isn't a baby anymore but she still is to me. Oh god, I'm starting to sound like all those other mums and they're at least 10 years older than me. I was standing in front of the mirror looking at my costume and figure when I felt a familiar, warm arms wrap around my waist.

J-"Hey"
D-"Hi"
J-"You look beautiful"
D-"Thank you, you look very handsome in that shirt and if we weren't in a room full of people that shirt would be on the floor"
J-"Someone's horny"
D-"I'm not"
J-"Urmm ok"
D-"Maybe I am"
J-"Yeah we both our"
D-"Well the girls are leaving on Saturday afternoon after Macklynn's dance competition"
J-"One I can't wait to see her dance and two I can't wait to be alone with you"
D-"Same"

Joe pecked my lips softly. I craved more but I knew it couldn't happen, not yet at least.

Miss Darnza-"Joanne, sorry I mean Joe and Dianne you're next on stage"
J-"We better get going then"
D-"Yeah"
Miss Darnza-"Remember this time you just have to come in the top two"
D-"Yeah"

Joe took my hand in his and we walked to the stage. The act before us had just come off and our names we just announced. In sync, we walked onto the stage and into our positions. The music began.

We were the last act to go so all the other acts joined us on stage. To be precise 21 other acts joined us. Everyone's scores were added up they went from bottom up. So far our name hasn't been called out, it was now down to the final three.

"In third place is ... Poppy, Rosie and Daisy with 95.1"
"In second place and going through to the next round is ... Megan with 96.9"
"That means in first place and also going through is Joe and Dianne with a score of 97.1"

I turned to Joe. We both had no idea what to do, we sort of froze. Joe wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. We both instantly relaxed and grew huge smiles on our faces. We giggle a bit in disbelief, Joe spun me around. Omg, we got through.

J-"You did it"
D-"Don't you mean we did it"
J-"We're through"
D-"I know I can't believe it"

All the acts slowly got off of the stage. Miss Darnza came rushing over again and gave both of us a hug.

Miss Darnza-"You did it again I'm so proud of you both"
D & J-"We're speechless"
Miss Darnza-"The whole school is still cheering, that was a big audience you just performed in front of"
J-"I know"
Miss Darnza-"You just performed in front of six schools and the public"
D-"Woah"
J-"Yeah woah"
Miss Darnza-"you guys are on a roll"
D-"Yeah"
Miss Darnza-"Next week you are going up against over 250 schools around the country"
J-"Okay"
Miss Darnza-"I've picked out the song and your doing your dance to Way down we go"
D-"Okay"
Miss Darnza-"You've got this"

Miss walked off.

J-"She knows how to poop on parties doesn't she"
D-"I know right"

Miss Garland and Mr Light were heading our way.

Mr Light-"Wow you guys that were amazing"
Miss Garland-"That was incredible"
J-"Thanks"
Miss Garland-"Tu es si talentueux"
D-"Merci je suis si fier de Joe"

{Joe's POV}

Mr Light leaned towards me and said.

Mr L-"Do you have any idea what they are saying"
J-"Not a clue all I recognised was my name and thank you"
Mr L-"Glad we're on the same level"

The girls walked away speaking in French. Mr Light and I sat down and talked.

Mr Light-"So how are things"
J-"They are good everything is running rather smoothly at the moment and I hope it stays that way"
Mr L-"Yeah fingers crossed"
J-"So how are you and Miss Garland"
Mr L-"Good I'm taking her on a date tonight after yours and Dianne's matchmaking"
J-"Oh yeah Di and I are very skilled in that area"
Mr L-"Yeah you are"
J-"Speak of the devils"
D-"What did you just say"
Miss Garland-"Did you just call us devils"
J-"Definitely not miss"
Miss Garland-"I sure hope so otherwise, you might just get a U in your next text"
J-"That's not fair"
D-"I'll probably end up doing it again anyway"
J-"Hey"
D-"Do you wanna pass"
J-"Shut up"

Dianne giggled and I put my hands on her waist as an indication to come and sit down next to me. Well more like on my lap but you get the gist. Miss Garland and Mr Light looked at each other then smiled at us.

D-"You two should get going and go on that date and stop staring at us"
J-"Yeah come on we already know we're couple goals"

Everyone burst out laughing before they left. I really was becoming my old self. I used to be like a class clown/unusually nice popular guy. I have always loved making others happy, I don't think I ever really did it for attention because I would never do it randomly in class it would always be at an appropriate time so I wouldn't get told off by the teacher.

D-"You Okay"
J-"Yeah Why"
D-"No reason"
J-"I'm smiling like an idiot aren't I"
D-"No you're smiling like my amazingly handsome boyfriend"
J-"Ooo he sounds like a great guy I should get to know him"
D-"Well he looks great but everything else isn't that great"
J-"Excuse me"
D-"I'm joking everything about you is perfect in my eyes"
J-"You really mean that"
D-"Yeah of course I do"
J-"You pretty damn perfect yourself Buswell"
D-"Why thank you, Mr Sugg"

Hand in hand both smiling we walked to see our friends.

{Dianne's POV}

M-"Omg you guys were amazing"
D-"Thanks Mads"
B-"Bro that was awesome"
J-"Thanks mate"
Ja-"We need to celebrate"
Mi-"Yes we need to party"

I looked at Joe who flashed me a worried look. I pulled him to the side.

D-"We just won't go it's fine"
J-"No I want to I just don't know if I'll last"
D-"What if we hold the party at our house"

Joe smirked.

D-"Why did you smirk"
J-"Because you said our house"
D-"Well it is isn't it"
J-"Yes I just love hearing you say it"
D-"Anyway not the time to make me blush"
J-"Ooo nice to know I still make you blush"
D-"Don't even"
J-"I'm no I'm not carry on"
D-"If we do it at our house then it might not be as bad"
J-"What about the girls"
D-"Oh I didn't think about that"
J-"I happy for our friends to know if you are"
D-"You know what I am, I ready for everyone to find out our secret"

We walked back over to our friends.

D-"Guys we'll have the party at our house and we've also got something to show you"
Mi-"Urm Okay"
C-"Yeah let's do it"
Oil-"Let's go then"

We all left. I wonder how they'll take it. Here we go.
