Noelle is the older sister of Richelle and has been dancing with The Next Step since she was three. They always say don't mix relationships with business, in this case with dance. It seems like Noelle found herself mixing both dance and relationship...

"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? Michelle asks, "I'm sure she won't tell anyone." I hear Daniel say. "I'm not so sure." Riley says. "If she tells Emily, we're done."
Hearing all these things being said is definitely throwing me off. I don't think Chloe would actually tell anyone.
"I'm going to go check up on them." I say, making my way to the door, "Count me in." James says with Riley following behind, I chose not to argue with them and just walk in silence.
We enter studio A to see Michelle and Chloe getting interrogated by Stephanie and Tiffany.
"And what are you guys doing here?" Stephanie asks, looking dead into my eyes, "Uh, also rehearsing." I say, trying to hide my fear.
"I'm freaking out because I don't know if Chloe told them."
"They were all helping me." "Without us?" Tiffany asks, "I couldn't find you guys; I'm sorry. I'll definitely ask you guys next time." Chloe says defending us and our secret.
Before the conversation could continue any further, Miss Kate yelled from her office, "Hey, it's getting late. Everyone head home." We all back away from each other and collect our things.
"I really hope Chloe's cover works. I mean, we still have a lot of work to do, so we just need to get back to rehearsal."

Rehearsals are about to start, and Riley comes up to me and says, "By the way, you, me, and Michelle saw the new musical last night at the Grand Theatre, Theatre 12. We had popcorn; you both liked it; I didn't." "Sweet." I know it has something to do with last night, so I got this.
"One, two, three, four. Turn out those legs!" "Energy from the boys, please!" Emily shouts all these things at us, thinking that it will somehow make us happier.
"I'm just really bored of Emily's routine, and I can't wait to get out of here and go back to Michelle's."
"Noelle, those arms!" Emily, those lungs need a break.
Halfway through the dance, I catch a glimpse of West doing the wrong routine. He isn't doing Emily's; he is doing Michelle's. We're screwed.
"Stop! Stop! West! West!" We're all now starting at West as he gets the wrath of Emily.
"That's not my choreography! What are you doing?" No response from West: "What was that?" "You know, your choreography just makes me want to just...just get so amped, you know I just want-"
West cut himself off by doing a backflip, earning hollers from James, "You want to do that?" Emily asks with a wicked smile. "Yeah, yeah." West slowly starts shaking his head at Emily's reaction.
"No, if I wanted that, I would've put it in my dance, understood?" "Do you know what? You are so right. That's why you're the dance captain." "From the top, everyone can thank West!" Emily is clearly onto us, and who knows how far or if she will find out.

I'm sitting in Java Junction doing my homework when I hear a "Hi" from a voice I thought I'd never have any traction with.
"Hi," "What are you doing?" "Math," I say, focusing on my page instead of on how Emily is smiling at me. "The answer is A. Just so you know." "What's up?" I ask her, already knowing she's going to ask about the "musical."
"Oh, nothing. Well, I heard you went to the movies with Riley and Michelle yesterday." "Yep." I did not, but she doesn't need to know that.
"Yeah, I was just coming to see what you thought about it." "Why does it matter?" I decided that I wasn't going to do what Riley told me. But instead, I'll just take the fire with fire.
"Oh, you know, just taking interest in my sister and her little friends lives. Wouldn't you do that for Richelle?" Okay, I've had enough. "You've never taken an interest in my life. So, why start now?" I close my book, grab my bags, and leave.

We're back in studio B rehearsing Michelle's routine, and Chloe walks in, asking, "What are you doing here?" Michelle asks with caution. I would be cautious too. But, Chloe's eyes hold a lot of determination.
"Emily's reign as Queen Bee is over." Chloe says with sincerity. "You want to join?" I asked her excitedly, and the moment she shook her head, yes. I ran up and hugged her.
I've never been happier to be in a dance with my best friend.

I told Ms.Kate that I would be a little late due to a doctor's appointment for Richelle; she hurt her leg, and we're going to check it out.
But by the time I got to the studio, I saw Emily confronting Daniel about his solo, and love music started playing. I'm just as confused as everyone else.
Eldon walks in with posters and a music box. He places the music box down, and it starts glitching. Eldon kicks it, and it starts playing some random country song.
"On top of the fact that Eldon's embarrassing himself, his music stops working. I feel sorry for him."
Once Eldon fixes the music, he starts showing off each card.
"There is no one else in the world, that makes me feel the way you do."
Eldon continues to show off the cards until he gets to the last one: "Emily, will you be my girlfriend?" Everyone is laughing at Eldon and the situation, which doesn't make it any better.
Emily ends up ripping the paper, and my heart breaks for Eldon. No one deserves what he got. I hope he doesn't lose confidence because of this.

Michelle told us that she thinks if Eldon joins the team, everything will be set, but I'm not completely sure if he's still in the state of liking Emily.
Throughout the whole dance, I would steal glances at Eldon, and it's hard to tell what he's thinking.
"So, what do you think?" Michelle asks, "That was amazing. But what's it for?" "It's for regionals instead of Emilys." Eldon's face just tells me that this may have just blown up in our faces. "Does she know about it?"
"No," James says, "So, are you in?" Eldon seems too unsure of what to say.
I hate to say this, but I think we just failed, and it just backfired. I had a feeling it was too soon.
