*Set in Season 6 // Both Noah and Richelle are single*
"Richelle please I'm so thirsty" Jacquie whines in my ear. We're both at Shakes & Ladders after a long rehearsal, and she has been begging me to buy her a drink, because she is trying to waste no money, in attempt to save up for a new phone.
"Jacquie you're so annoying, three bucks out of your pocket won't make a difference" I argue, sipping on my smoothie while I scroll through Instagram. Damn I really do need to do something with my feed.
"Yes it will, every cent makes a huge difference" She insists, emphasizing on the 'huge' "Also, I have paid your drinks when you forgot your wallet before"
"Dear Jacquie" I turn my body at her "You know as well as I do that I never forget anything. Ever. So that argument is invalid. But nice try." I smirk. Jacquie can be so stubborn sometimes, but if she thinks she can change my mind with her untrue arguments then she is very wrong.
However...despite everything...she's still my best friend. And I may or may not love her.
"So if I died of thirst you just wouldn't do anything"
"Gosh you're so dramatic Jacqueline but you know what, if that ever happens, which it won't, I don't want your parents to put the blame on me so there you go" I finally give in, slamming a few dollars against the wood counter.
"Thank you!!" She cheers, hugging me. I hug her back. She may be a dummy but I don't know what I'd do without her. "And don't you call me Jacqueline ever again, did you hear me?" She warns, pointing a finger at me.
I raise my eyebrows, trying to hide my smile. Which was obviously useless.
"I will add that to my to-do list" I reply sarcastically, sipping another bit of my smoothie, while Jacquie orders hers.
We turn around and see a few of our friends - Kenzie, Kingston, Lily and Noah.
I smile.
"Wassup" Jacquie happily greets. Boy, you can tell that smoothie was really important to her...
A few "hey's" are mumbled, and soon both Jacquie and I dig into their conversation.
All of us were talking about a new tv show about dance that has aired two weeks ago on Netflix.
"I loved it when George stepped up and defended Tessa, I ship them so much!" Lily exclaims with a smile on her face.
"No, not at all George was a dick to her" Kingston disagrees.
"Yeah he was" The rest of us agree with him.
"Yeah but he redeemed himself!"
I lay my elbow on Jacquie's shoulders, while I listen to this random conversation.
"He did thanks to Priscilla, oh my gosh she's my favourite character, she's such a great dancer!" Jacquie comments. I smile at her, and speak up too.
"Yeah Priscilla is my favourite too, she's drop dead gorgeous"
"Yeah she is so gorgeous" Kenzie agrees.
"Meh, I've seen prettier girls" Noah comments, shooting a glance at me.
Is it just me or is he flirting with me...?
I immediately feel butterflies on my stomach and smile at him softly without even realising it. I look down, trying to hide both my smile and blush.
"Oh and what did you guys think of Paul in season two's fourth episode??" Kingston asks, to which everyone answers, however we soon notice it's time to go back to rehearsals. Emily and Michelle are going really hard on us, but I know they want us to win Regionals a lot.
