Ariana's diary

As your Chief Chef

"You are really improving with your tap dance, It is really impressive. Mrs. Henderson commented." I said showing Chelsea the comment on my phone.

" Come on, Ariana. You are way smarter than this. Mrs. Henderson rarely gives comments to anyone especially on social media." Chelsea said and turned back to her noreos.

" But this is her username. She must have typed it." I went to sit beside her and took one of her noreos.

" Bryan must have done that to bring up false hope. That guy stinks of jealousy."

" Seriously. Can we not talk about Bryan? I know you are good at changing topics."

" I heard shell wood is planning something, like an excursion or trip like that."

" That is ridiculous. Our tests are coming up remember?"

" I think they would take us on that trip after our test."

" And what about dance universe. The competition is coming up."

" Didn't you hear? Dance universe is months ahead, relax young lady. You are fond of getting yourself stressed." She said and turned to her phone.

" I feel lazy. Like i am not trying hard enough." I said.

" What are you talking about?"

" Bryan is obviously trying to bring me down and i am accepting his negativity. I don't think i am trying hard enough to improve." I said sadly.

" Where exactly did you dump Ariana?" Chelsea blurted out after staring at me for a while.

" What?"

" The Ariana i know would have kicked Bryan out of her way a long time ago."

" You keep talking about that Bryan. If he disturbs you that much, why don't you report him to the school authorities or your dance coach." Mum said as she walked into the room with a book in her hand.

" I do not think the school will take it as an offence since he is our captain. He is focused on both of us and that is where the problem lies." Chelsea said. Mum gave a loud sigh.

" Both of you are amazing dancers and if he wants to bring you down, it is because he knows both of you are better than him. Don't pay attention to him, just do what you love doing best." Mum said with a smile on her face.

" I wasn't............" I got interrupted.

" I thought you didn't want to talk about Bryan." Chelsea raised an eyebrow.

" Why don't you girls come downstairs. Both of you can help me make lunch." Mum said.

" And take a walk in the garden after we are done." I added excitedly.

" Oh, that reminds me. My mum's birthday is tomorrow and i was thinking i could borrow ideas from you." Chelsea said.

" Really? How did i not remember," Mum looked surprised.

" You have been really busy lately Mum." I replied

" I was planning to do something for her. Maybe take her on a walk to the library." Chelsea suggested.

" Why would you walk someone to the library and call it a birthday gift. Did u plan a party in the library?" I asked.

" She loves books so i was thinking about something like that." She replied nervously and i just stared at her like she was the weirdo in the room.

" I have never really had a special gift for her." She said after realising her idea was not the best.

" Would it be good if we have a cake prepared for her?" My Mum asked.
