I've Fallen in Love with my Best Friend {a Pinn love story}

CHAPTER 2

(Pipers point of view)
The song softly played, reflecting all my emotions at that moments. I freestyle to the song, letting the music enlighten my body. I feel as though I am speaking the alnguage of dance and am exposing my feelings for myself to see. A cascade of emotions floods over me. Do I still belong at the next step. Can I still be best friends with both Finn and Amy? I didn't know. I replayed the situation in the Next Steep. Why did I have to remove myself from there.

I kick off into 9 straight leged pirouttes when a relasisation hits me in the stomach. I like Finn! The shock of it all causes me to stumble out of my final piroutte. The music continues to play in the background. I pick myself up off the ground and stumble over to where I left my phone and paused the music. I poke my head through the door to Emily's old office to check the time on the clock that hangs above her old desk. 5:45.

Great, James and Riley will be here in 45 minutes to take me home. I turn the corner into the post bomb site once more. I grab my dance bag from my neat locker and close it with a bang. I hear the chattering voices of Finn and Amy. I really don't want to see them right now. I duck and head for the exit closest to studio 1.

I sit on the bench in studio 1, having chucked my bag next to my deserted hoodie. I was tying up the ribbons of my left pointe shoe when I heard someone enter the studio. I look up and see Amy in the doorway. 

"Hey, look I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable back then. Did I?" She blunders as an apology.

"Amy, it's fine. I really do need to rehearse this solo." I tell her, clearly implying that I want to be alone. I stand up making my way over to the ballet bare, doing releves from fifth, fourth and first.

"You are doing a pointe solo?" Amy asks me.

"Yes and I really need to rehearse it Amy. Not being rude but can you not watch me rehearse?" I ask pleadingly

She nods understandingly and walks out of the studio and into the corridor. I walk over to my phone and scroll through my spotify playlist until I reach 'Snow Showers'. I press play and get into my first position.

The music flows through me although the routine is choreographed. I feel a salty tear run down my cheek and drip off. All I can think about is how I have probably ruined my friendship with not only Finn but Amy as I dance. I feel as though anyone who was watching me right now would feel everything that I am feeling.

I end the dance on the floor, head bowed down onto my legs. Tears well in my eyes, I wipe the clean as Emily walks into studio 1's office. I walk over to the bench and begin to undo the ribbons of my pointe shoes.

Finn walked in to the studio just as I placed my pointe shoes into my dance bag. Finn doesn't know I dance on pointe and considering how much he teases me about not being a hip hop dancer as it is, I would like to keep it that way.

"Hey Pipes! You ready for that movie we were going to catch." He exclaims enthusiasticly. I don't really want to go to the movies with Finn considering that I have feelings for him and he has a girlfriend who also just happens to be my best friend. Thankfully, at that moment, my phone vibrates with a notification. I look down quickly and see a message from James.
'Hey Pipes, Riley and I will be a little late today. Pick you up around 6.'

I use this as an excuse to leave.

"Um actually, James and Riley just got here and I have a family thing tonight so I kind of have to go. But you should take Amy." I lie through my teath, "Bye!"

I slip into my Tns hoodie again and swing my black and grey dance bag over my shoulder and walk out of the studio. Once I'm away from Finn I quickly reply to James.
'No worries, I'll catch the bus.'

I head out the studio and run into Richelle.

She grins broadly, "Hey Piper, I was wondering if you wanted to come to the studio a bit earlier to choreograph a duet for the nationals duet auditions?"

I can't take the stunned look off my face, "Me. Do a duet with ............you?" I say, baerely get the words out of my mouth. She nods, looking confused as to what I was not getting.

"Of course Richelle, I'd be honoured." I say smiling at her. Her face lights up with happiness.

"Great! Bring your pointe shoes, and meet me in studio 1 at 7:30. See you tomorrow Piper!" She tells me, smiling broadly.

I wait for the bus, listening to some music through my headphones. I mentally slap myself as I realise that I left my history text book in my locker. I can't go back there now, Finn thinks I'm gone. I text Amy, asking her to bring my history book to me. She immediately replys, saying that she is on her way.

I see Amy run up to me and hand me my history book. Just in time as my bus comes around the corner.

"Thank you so much," I say frantically as I line up for the bus.

"Don't mention it. But tomorrow, we need to talk." She tells me, dead serious. I nod my head and gulp nervously, wondering what it could possibly be about.

(Authors note)
Yes, I did the research.  Piper can dance on Pointe. Richelles entrance and plot in this story will be futher explained when I release my RIchelle fanfic 'Adapting to Heartbreak' so that will make more sense when I publish that. Piper will go into more depth with her emotions later on in the story. Anyways, thanks for reading and I will update soon. <3
