Dance for the thrill of it || Noah TNS || UNFINISHED

Figured it out - 13

It's only been a few days since I slept at Noah's, and nobody has really brought it up, well, until today. I decided that I wanted to go shopping with West.

(What I'm wearing ⤴️)

We've been shopping for around 3hours before we went and got lunch and West Brought up something I didn't want to talk about.

"So, El." He starts.

"Mmm" I cut him off, having a feeling on what he was gonna say.

"I don't believe for a second that you slept in and Noah drove you to the studio."

"Well." I start. "Technically it's true."

"What do you mean 'Technically'?"

"I mean technically."

"El."

"West." I mimic him.

"You can trust me..." he says softly while grabbing my hand.

"I know I can. It's just."

"Just what?" He cuts me off.

"Noah is the only who knows..."

"He is the only one who knows What 'technically' means?"

"You really wanna know, huh." I look him in the eyes.

He nods.

"Fine." I say. "My parents were fighting and Mamá said I should stay at a friends house. I chose Noah, since he live the closest and it was raining." I begin, wear looked really interested so I continued. "He took me inside gave me a pair of clothes and I fell asleep. That's all."

"Where'd you sleep?"

"The bed."

"Where'd he sleep."

"The bed?" I say with furrowed eyebrows.

West's eyes widened. "Did you-"

"No!" I almost yelled. "No i, he, whatever, we didnt!"

"Good.... you're like my little sister." I smile at his response, "how'd your cut your eye?"

"I Uh, fell outta bed." I lie, I didn't want him to know that part of the story.

"You know I can tell when you lie, I figured it out last year."

"And what's that?"

"You crack your knuckles, you also do it when your nervous."

"Okay.... but can I tell you another day?"

"Sure, can you tell me one more thing though?"

"What is it?"

"Do you like Noah?"

My cheeks turn rosey and I look to the ground

"Ha I already got my answer" he says before continuing to eat.

Noah's P.O.V
I'm in the music room, just thinking about some stuff. I've been working on some tricks. When Abi walks in.

"Hey Noah?"

"A-Abi?"

"Whatcha doing?"

"Just working in some tricks."

"Can I see?"

"Sure, I learnt the new one, 540 straight leg."

"Show me." Abi says while she walks over to the side.

I do the trick perfectly, but I don't get the reaction I expected, all she did was clap. That's when I realised, she's not like Ellie...

"Look at this." Abi says as she does a Grand jeté and her back foot touches her head.

D-Did she just try and one up me?

"Cool..." I say before walking out and leaving Abi by herself. I think I've figured something out.

Ellie's P.O.V
I'm back at the studio now, rehearsal is on with the group of girls, all we know that it is a 2 to 7 person dance, at the next Michelle is thrown to the ground as part of the dance. She is going through a lot at the moment, and I feel sorry for her, but she's crying. Again.

"Someone go help her." Riley says.

"I'll go." I say as I walk over to her. "What's up M?"

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I've spent the entire day with Michelle, just trying to make her feel better, and she's calmed down a lot, and then I think it's time to tell her my secret.

"Do you want to know something?" I ask.

"Mmm"

"It's my birthday tomorrow." I smile

"Really? How old are you turning?"

"16." I say with a big grin on my face.

"Dang your getting old now." She laughs.

"Yeah no one knows, also don't tell anyone. Because I want tomorrow to be Stephanie's day."

"Okay..." she says. "Thank you, for helping me today."

"It was nothing, I'm just glad we got to know each other better." I say before she grabs be and pulls me into a hug.
