When I get back to studio A, and I can hear the group dance music running. The music stops and the shuffling of feet becomes louder. My tissues that I gave McKenna were on the floor, and on the tissues were written messages like: Loser, you suck at dancing, you can't sing. I scrambled to pick them up.

"Come on Maddie, let's go." I say, glaring at McKenna.

"We're going over to Kendall's for a welcoming sleepover. Mom left ages ago. Abby almost called the cops." Maddie says, looking at the other Maddie and mouthing "sorry".

"Oh, ok."

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Maddie says, glaring at me.

"Sure."

"What has gotten into you?"

"What has gotten into YOU."

"Kenzie. Stop."

"YOU stop."

"Why are you so jealous?"

"I don't want to talk about it." I say, and I walk away.
