Michelle Point of View
As we walked into the arena where Regionals are begin held, the set-up is different to the Regionals I am used to. The doors open, meaning the last studio to arrive is which happens to be my friends from Maddison Max and Amanda as well as their Studio Elite. Our two studios hate each other, as Kate and Lucien were meant to be married, but nobody knows why the wedding was called off. I was pulled out when I felt was two people hug me, I knew straight the people were Max and Amanda, I have not seen them snitches they left the studio to go to the Elite, "Michelle, what are you doing here?", they ask at the same time at this point Hunter has realised who I am taking "We moved here and found a Studio near our home", Hunter answered. Hunter and I never said that we knew and grew up with Max and Amanda. After to promising to catch up later Hunter and I went to change into our costumes, and get ready to compete.
Our First round went brilliantly as we smashed our competition 90 to 45. Hunter and I went to watch Amanda and Max dance, "We will meet them in the finals" Hunter whispers to me as Elite has just finished their routine and Elite moves on to the next round with only 5 points difference between them and their competition, "Yeah, let's go we are meeting them in five minutes" I whisper back, "Okay, Okay let's go then", we walked to the cafeteria to meet up with Max and Amanda. When we get to the cafeteria Amanda and Max are already there, Hunter and I hug Amanda and Max, "We're still going to be friends after the competition right?" I ask, I want to think so as we all grew up with each other, "Of course, this rival between our dance studios is stupid and why wastes over a decade of friendship go to waste" Amanda say comfortingly and Max just nods his head, thank god I was looking for that answer, after catching up we made promises to meet up with all of our families.
As Hunter and I left we meet up with the rest of the troupe who had meet up with their families, to go and get ready for the second round, and of course won 89 to 79, and even Elite one theirs with one point difference, Third round came around too fast as we were one of the last teams to dance, but we are the first team to dance, we won the third 88 to 64, We are in the semi-finals against the seeds. We were celebrating this win "Where Kate and Chris?" Eldon says like he always does, that when they started look around while they are distracted Hunter and I slip out, so we can watch Amanda and Max dance, "I hate how we have to sneak out and talk to them secretly", I understand where he is coming from, "Yeah, I think we should tell them after the competition, so they do not get distracted", Hunter just nodded his head in agreement, Elite is amazing, they are going to be strong competition.
We got back to the team Chris and Kate are still missing, it is actually a good thing as Lucien and Elite are walking straight towards us Hunter and I slipped into the back of our team, so that we cannot be seen by anyone. We could see that Amanda and Max do that as well, but Hunter and I know that they do not want any kind of confrontation neither do we, but Lucien just had to make a science think Kate was around "Well, Well, Well, what do we have here the only team that has been humiliated made for the semi-finals but not to Nationals, go home now, Kate", Hunter wanted to step forward, but I put my arm on his to stop him from going back to the Maddison Hunter, I look up and see Max and Amanda look scare, as they know what he did back in Maddison, thank god Eldon spoke up "She's not here at the moment she went look for Chris", the last part angered Lucien. Before Lucien could do anything more Elite got called on stage to dance, I quickly looked at Hunter and he was gone, so was West, Daniel, and Charlie.
The boys came back after we sent James to find them, because we needed to go on stage. Seeds were really good scoring 90, so to win and face Elite in the Finals we need 91 or over to win the semi-finals. We are standing on stage to hear our score, I feel an arm around my waist and shoulders, I knew the arm around my shoulders was Hunter, but the arm around my waist has to be James, I look to see if Kate and Chris are on the sides the two people I see is Max and Amanda, and the other side was Seeds. I could not believe when the Judges give us a 99 for our performance, that it we are moving on to the finals against Amanda and Max.
At the Final round comes there is still no sign of Kate or Chris, the troupe is sitting in the Cafeteria and talking about where they could be when Beth and B-troupe come into view with someone that I have never seen before, they come to our table to sit down next to us, Beth sits in James lap, all he does is look at me with puppy dog eye asking me to help him, I just stand up and walk away, I could hear someone run up to me, as I walk outside, we sit down on one of the sits outside, I knew then that it was Emily, I just cried for the first time since my grandmother died, "Who did this?, Emily" Amanda said politely, Emily knows that Max and Amanda are mine and Hunter's friends, "Beth, from our studio, can you guys look after her?, while I go and check on Hunter" I did not realise Hunter was back he could be mention something about Max and I. "Yeah, we can" Max says nicely, ever since Emily meet Amanda and Max they have become friends, and understands, as well Emily will be there when Hunter and I tell the team about our friendship.
After a few minutes Hunter comes running out the door and hugs me to death, at this time Amanda has left to have an interview since she is Elites dance captain, but me and Max also decide to let Next Step win, and then Max and Amanda join, as Kate does not have a problem with Max or AMnad and wants them to join the Next Step, "Hunt, mind letting go", Hunter just drops me lucky Max catches me in his arms before I fell to the ground "Sorry Sis, I just yelled at James and Beth and did not mention about you two, but Emily walks back in and slapped them both, but we need to get ready"
Hunter and Emily are standing by me, Emily is just glaring at James and Beth as they make out in the corner, as Hunter and I walk by the unisex bathroom we heard moaning coming from inside and the names Kate and Chris being yelled from inside as well, James was right they are dating. After getting that image out of my head, Elite got 50 points, Next Step has a chance, as we are getting set up Charlie is going to dance for James as he is too preoccupied making out with Beth to dance. The dance went fantastic and we are standing in front of the judge with Elite to find out if we have done it and Hunter is the middle of Emily and I with Charlie on my left, " And the winners of the seventeenth Annual Absolute Dance Regionals, with a perfect 100 point is…. THE NEXT STEP" we won with a perfect score.
After the hype has died down, we are by the bus and Eldon has allowed me to swap with him for the journey home, but James does not know about this swap, "I am going to look for Kate and Chris, James you are coming with me, no question asks" Charlie says. The boys came back with horrified faces, "They were doing the deed in the Unisex toilet up against the door, one of the officials unlock the door and they fell out" Charlie says horrified. A few minutes later Kate and Chris come towards the bus and look sheepish, "Sooooooo, how did it go?", Emily and I look at each other and said at the same time "Well, we loss the semi-finals and have been waiting here for two hours!" Kate and Chris look down at their feet, that's when everyone just laughs at their expression, and Emily and I moved to show the trophy, Kate and Chris just laugh at the situation.
