Noah
I take Richelle to the cafeteria where people are snickering, so she quickly shuts them up. We get our food and sit down. Next we see Michelle, Henry, and Amanda sit after.
"Hey guys." Michelle greets smiling.
"Umm... hi" Richie said, kind of uncomfortable.
I get it she's not used to them talking to her.
"Hey uhhh... Richelle listen we're really sorry we just want to make up for all the horrible things we've done to you. We feel really bad, and I'm so so sooo sorry for yelling at you and hitting you." Michelle said.
This causes Richelle to tense up. I give them a look and they immediately understand.
"We'll leave you guys alone. I understand you don't want to be near us, but hopefully we can be friends one day." Henry said.
The all got up and left. Leaving Richelle and I. She looks so sullen. I nudge her a bit causing her to give a small smile.
"Hey don't be so down. We still have a lot more to worry about other than that." I tell her.
"Like that video?" She asks.
"Yeah." I say. The bell rings so we both get up hand in hand before walking out.
We get to our lockers and see a group of boys and one of them steps up.
"Wow looks like Richelle wanted to have some more fun. No shirt or bra. Seems like she's trying to seduce you huh?" He smirks.
I slam my locker shut. It goes so far that there's a dent in the middle if it, giving a few people the chance to gasp.
I bring my fist up ready to hit him, but I hear a voice.
"Noah stop!" She said. I look over to the side and down a bit and sigh.
"C'mon Noah. Hit me. Are you too weak for you girl." He says, again.
"Listen man. If you want to do this. Do it off school premises. I'm not going to get in trouble because of you. But if you say one more thing about Richelle I will hurt you." I said, giving him a glare.
"C'mon Noah." Richelle said. I bring my fist down and hold her hand, and start to walk off when I hear a smack. What?
I turn around to look at Richelle's face which has utter shock, scared, and mortified. I go back over to the group of boys that's snickering and yell, "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY!"
"You. Me. 5:00pm. Bring an ice pack with you because you're going to need to it." I tell the guy from before, in a deadly tone.
Bring Bring
There's the bell again. I shake my head and go back to Richelle and bring and arm around her, keeping a stern face.
"What's our first class?" Richelle asks.
"Spanish." I sigh.
"Haha you suck at Spanish." She tells me, giggling.
"Yeah I know." I sigh, once again.
We walk in and take our seats.
"Buena clase. Completa la lección en el tablero blanco. Luego, busca un socio y ve a la biblioteca para trabajar en mi próxima tarea que reparto." She said.
What?
Richelle writes on a sheet of paper and hands it to me. Ohhhh that's what she said. Spanish is so confusing. Why do people even need Spanish. I'm never going to do anything that involves it. Unless we go to internationals one day. That just depends if we win Nationals this year.
Riley decided to become studio head again after going to business school. She can manage now.
*10 minutes later*
"Ok class you may go to the library now." She said. Everyone in A-Troupe got up and left.
We all get into pairs:
Me and Henry
Richelle and Ozzy
Michelle and Amanda
Cassie and Amy
Sloane and Latroy
Piper and Skylar
Alfie is just with this girl named Mary. We all go down to the library and sit at one table without him. It was between Mary and Abi, and I guess you know what he was thinking.
"Ok so," Piper begins yet is cut off by all of our phones, causing us to get numerous hushes.
Riley texted us in the A-Troupe group chat.
Riley
Hey guys so I have an IDEA!!!
Sloane
What is it?
Riley
A-Troupe SLEEPOVER!!!!
Richelle
Like the one you guys had 5 years ago???
Riley
Precisely
Ozzy
Alright what time?
Riley
6:00pm don't be late!
Noah
Can we be a little late? I kinda have a thing...
Riley
NO! you will NOT ruin this for me
Alfie
Yeah don't ruin it for Riley 😍
Piper
🙄
Riley
Alfie. Shut. Up.
Skylar
Alright we'll be there 6:00pm at the dot
Riley
Great 😊 SEE YOU THERE!!!
We all look over at Alfie, who shrugs, and go back to our project.
Ozzy
"No! Noah 'Como te llamas." Henry spoke, annoyed at the fact that Noah didn't understand.
"What does Spanish have to do with animals?" Noah asks, giving everyone a reason to snicker.
"Noah. It's Spanish. 'Como te llamas' means 'What is your name?" Richelle announced, shaking her head with an amused grin.
"Nothing I do will involve Spanish so why do I need it?" He asks.
"What if someone from one of the prestigious dance companies speaks Spanish and wants to mentor you. What do you do?" Amanda asks.
"Isn't that obvious. I'd use Siri."
We all groan and go back to our assignments. It's lunch time. I watch Henry run out of the library. I gather up my things and shove them into my backpack. I put it on my front and kneel down to Richelle's height. She hops on my back and we walk away closely followed by the rest of A-Troupe.
*time skip school*
Here we go. I hope Noah wins this fight because if Riley found out she'll go crazy.
