Kiss thy Queen (Nochelle)

E I G H T E E N

Hey everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to apologize for the lack of updates on any of my stories. My phone broke, so I just set up my new phone yesterday, & have just downloaded Wattpad again :)

Also, this is absolutely crazy, but this story only has three chapters to go before it's finished!! It's been a long, & exciting journey, but thank you so much for all the reads, votes, & support! I really appreciate it!

Richelle's POV

"Wait, so you're telling me that you saw Noah? For the first time in seven months? And he lives in New York?" Mitchell asked curiously, while doing my hair into a tidy bun.

"Yep, yep, & yep." I replied, scrolling through Instagram. I was stressing to the point of a total meltdown, but I tried my hardest to hide it.

"Are you going to meet up with him?" Joel asked curiously, as he began stretching on the floor. I tensed at the thought of seeing Noah again.

"Probably not." I replied as casually as I could.

"Guys, dance is starting." Ozzy announced, poking his head through the door to the changing room.

"Coming!" We all said in unison, causing us all to burst into a slight fit of laughter. We all made our way into the studio, & started our first class of the day.

°Time Skip to Later On°

"How are you feeling after seeing Noah at the Cafe?" Ozzy asked curiously, as we began packing up all our dance things.

It was the end of the day, & we were both exhausted. We had ballet, jazz, contemporary, acro, & Conditioning Class, so we were both extremely sore & tired.

"I'd prefer it if we could talk about something else." I replied, putting my blue blouse over the top of my leotard.

"Richelle, it's clearly bothering you." Ozzy commented. I tried to ignore him, as I was beginning to feel frustrated.

"Are you taking the bus back with me to the apartment, or are you going to your dad's place?" I asked curiously, trying to change the subject.

"I have to go to my dad's place for dinner. He's started dating this lady, so he's asked me to be there tonight to meet her." Ozzy replied, but I could tell he wasn't keen. Ever since his parents split up when Ozzy was little, he had tried his hardest to avoid seeing his Dad. But now that he was in New York, Ozzy had to live with his Dad, & they had been trying to reconnect.

"Fair enough! We can always hangout tomorrow?" I suggested, to which Ozzy nodded his head in agreement.

"Anyway, I gotta get going. My bus leaves in ten minutes." I replied, then quickly left the studio. I ran to the bus stop, making it there just in time, then handed over my ticket, & picked a spot near the front.

I would have gotten a ride back with Mitchell or Joel, but they both decided not to take acro at the Academy, therefore they left the studio earlier than me.

I stuck my headphones on, then listened to music for a good 30 minutes. My apartment was pretty far away from the studio, which was kinda annoying; but it was definitely a good opportunity to sit back, relax, & take a breather.

When the bus pulled up at the next bus stop, I hopped off, & began walking. The apartment was a good 25 minute walk away from the bus stop.

Normally I didn't mind the walk, but today it was cold, & raining. I tried to walk as quickly as I could, but there was no point rushing. I was already soaked-through.
