Kiss thy Queen (Nochelle)

S I X

I forgot to mention that they've already been to Regionals and had won (at the time of this story). They're preparing for Nationals now.

Richelle's POV

I walked into Studio A, a bright smile plastered upon my face. No matter how hard I tried, I could not wipe the smile away, & it was all because of, Noah.

After slow dancing together, & talking about anything that came to mind, he drove me home, & we ended up kissing again.. Like at least five or more times... Oops.

I put my things into the cubby, then made my way over to, Piper & Finn, who were deep in conversation about tea. Why? I'm not entirely sure.

"Hey, where were you yesterday? I called you twice, & left you at least a dozen messages." Piper explained, upon seeing my arrival.

"Calm down, Pipes. I was on a date!" I replied, trying to sound as casual as I could, but failing, as I received an "Ooooh!" from Finn.

I tried my best to ignore him, as I began stretching, & warming up my muscles.

"A date, aye? Who with?" Piper asked excitedly. I so badly wanted to tell her who I had been on a date with, but I didn't know if it was the right time or not. I noticed Noah watching me, with a smile, from the other side of the room. I immediately grinned, as I turned my attention back towards, Piper.

"It's a secret. But when the time is right, I'll tell you. I promise!" I reply, as I continued stretching with her & Finn.

A good 5-10 minutes passed, & class was just about to start, but there was no sign of Ozzy anywhere. Weird..

"Good morning, Richie!" Noah announced, as he walked over, brushing his hand ever-so-slightly against mine. I felt my cheeks heat up, as I awkwardly replied with, "hey.. Uh.. Noa!" but he understood why. We were both new to whatever this was, & even though I wanted to kiss him so badly, we both needed to act like 'friends' until we could figure out what 'we' were.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked curiously, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Good, thank you!" I replied, to which he smiled brightly. I couldn't get over how adorable he was!!

"The date last night was amazing!" I exclaimed, just loud enough for him to hear. He nodded his head in agreement.

"I know right?! I had the best time!" Noah answered, slightly louder than expected. As soon as he realised what he had done, he quickly examined everyone around us to see if they had heard. Luckily, no one looked as if though they had heard.

"Um, I should get back to the guys, but I'll talk to you later!" he said with a wink. I rolled my eyes at him, then continued stretching out my arms, back, & shoulders.

Just then, Ozzy walked in, his usual bouncy, energetic demanor, seemed to be missing.

"Hey, Oz, over here!" I called out, getting his attention. He paused in his tracks, watching me for a second, looking rather upset. He all of a sudden gave a slight nod of his head as greeting, but walked directly past me, towards, Kingston; where they both began warming up.

'That's weird,' I thought to myself. 'Ozzy always stretched & warmed up with me before class.'

My mood immediately went from happy & ecstatic, to down & glum. Ozzy was the one to hype me up, & make me laugh all day. So why did he just ignore me?

I was about to go over to him & ask what was wrong, but Noah walked to the front of the room, & said that rehearsals were starting.

We went over our ten person dance first, then Piper & Finn did their duet; me, Summer, & Amy did our trio; & Henry, Kingston, Ozzy, Noah, & Finn did their small group.
