When new girl Michelle joins A-troupe, everything changes. What'll happen now that Emily's throne is up for grabs? With love comes scandal, sex and secrecy, and with these dancers, there's always a price to pay.

"Okay, let's take it from the top, this needs to be clean for regionals!" I shout at the team, hoping that my volume will give them the push they need to do the dance with more intensity this time.
The music plays and I watch the dancers carefully, picking apart each misstep to ensure that we are able to improve quickly in order to have a well polished dance for regionals.
Chloe is a beat behind everyone else though, it's as if her mind isn't present at all, she looks as though she's dazed out and thinking of something else, but I can't imagine what could be going on in her life that's more important than polishing this dance.
I stop the music half way through the song and watch as the dancers look at me with confused faces, Michelle gives me a dirty look from across the space, she's just jealous that I'm in charge.
Power hungry bitch.
"Chloe, what the hell was that? You were a beat behind everyone else!" I let out an exasperated sigh and watch as she cowers away, pulling her fingers together to fidget with them nervously.
"Sorry," she says in a barely audible whisper.
This is the third time that we've run through the dance like this and she's been a beat behind everyone else every single time.
I'm done with thinking that she's having an off day, she's clearly just not picking up the choreo.
"Do you even know the moves?" I ask her snidely, and watch as she looks up at me with wide eyes and flushed cheeks.
"Yes," she replies bluntly, but I don't detect any sarcasm in her tone, she's just flat, almost as if she doesn't even care at all.
"Are you sure?" I quip back at her sarcastically.
"Yes," she repeats, using the same blank tone as before.
I would rather her just quip at me sarcastically like Michelle and James usually do, at least that way I know what she's thinking.
She's not giving me anything to work with here, it's weird.
I look around at the rest of my team, and watch as they also stare at Chloe, probably wondering what she's thinking.
"Let's just take five," I sigh and with a roll of my eyes, the dancers walk off and over to the bench next to the cubby hole, each of them grabbing their water.
