A few days have gone by and the dust has settled as Emily's win takes action. Her regained title of dance captain has only inflated her ego more, and she's making life a living hell for both James and Michelle.
Michelle is doing her best to quip back at Emily's sarcastic comments whenever she can, which only fuels Emily's hatred against her even more. James, on the other hand, seems otherwise occupied.
He's been acting weird all week, normally he's care free and joking about with Eldon, or flirting with one of the girls- but since Tuesday, James has been avoiding Eldon and not even attempting to flirt with anyone, not even Stephanie, his usual target. Every now and then, I catch him taking glances at Riley from across the studio space, but she never returns them.
Maybe James likes Riley?
No, I think he's probably just concerned for her, she's been really off this week as well, messing up the dance, or fidgeting nervously whenever we're all together.
I'm not sure what's going on with either of them, but it's weird, and I just hope that it doesn't effect anyone else on the team.

I park my car in the lot outside the studio, putting my handbrake on, I hear a tap on my window. Turning to see who the tap came from, I see James smiling at me from the other side of the glass. I step out of the car and am greeted by an overly excited smile.
"Hey Michelle, I know this is weird, but can you come with me, I really need to ask you a favour?" James asks me, nervously awaiting my reply.
I wonder what James would want from me, I mean, I'd be happy to do whatever favour he wants me to do, him, West and Riley have been the only people to show me any kindness since arriving at the studio last Saturday.
"Sure James, I'd be happy to help. What's the favour?" I ask him.
I'm really curious now, I hope I haven't agreed to do anything weird, I know what James is like, he can be a bit of a creep sometimes.
"Follow me and I'll explain," James says as he fidgets with his hands nervously.
He leads me into Squeezed, the juice bar below the studio, and guides me to a table where West is seated.
