(IVY'S POV)
It's been a while since the whole Mark situation. We're all going to the studio to get together for a while. Thankfully, Mark has decided not to come. Oh, didn't I mention that Mark has now joined the studio? Well, he has! Urgh! But I'm just gonna have to get over this…I can do that…probably.
So, we're basically having a party to celebrate our regionals win officially! The B-troupers and J-troupers are here too. I'm just hanging around with West when Daniel comes in! When we last met, his ankle still wasn't properly healed but he's fine now!
"Daniel!" I yell, and I run up to hug him.
"How's your ankle? Did the surgery go well?" I ask. James also comes up.
"Yeah, the surgery went awesome, like, I've totally healed! I can do anything, I've been practising a little too. Doctor said not to worry at all. I might take it a little easy but I'm not gonna have to worry about it and..."
I clear my throat loudly and he kinda stops for a minute and West speaks up,
"Uh, why… why do you keep talking about your ankle? We get it, you're healthy, you're good!"
"Awesome!" James adds in. I raise my eyebrows at Daniel. I can tell something's on his mind.
"Yeah, well… I guess you haven't noticed there's now 13 of us in A-troupe and they only need twelve dancers for Nationals, so…who do you think is not going to go?" I suddenly realise what he said is true.
"That's true." West realises.
"Yeah, good point." Said James.
"I hope Mark doesn't come." I mutter.
"Yeah but my ankle feels good so…" Daniel starts.
"Yeah, well you know what? My ankle feels good too." West interrupts.
"Yeah same." James pipes in.
"Yeah, mine is perfect!" I exclaim, jumping a bit.
"So we're all on the same page?" West asks.
"Yeah, ankles are all good!" Daniel replies. I sigh, this is going to be one heck of a long party.
Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Michelle and Eldon walk in, holding hands. Urgh. Then I Emily walks past and says in a happy tone, "Hi!" To us and some others too. She obviously feels stressed out about all this.
"Hey guys?" I catch their attention, "I'm just gonna talk to Emily, kay? Bye!" I run up to Emily before they answer.
"Hey Emily!" I greet cheerfully.
"Hey Ivy!" She says. She sounds normal, but I can tell she's not feeling so good. Then she suddenly mutters, "I need to handle this." I look at her quizzically and I'm about to ask her what's going on when she walks towards Michelle and Eldon and she says,
"Hey everybody! Sorry to interrupt you, I just have a quick announcement! Alright, Michelle and Eldon, stand!"
I have no idea what she's doing right now. I'm just staring at her. Michelle and Eldon look at each other worriedly.
"Let's go! Don't keep everybody waiting!" They both stand slowly.
"Alright," Emily continues, "Some of you might think that Eldon and I are dating."
My jaw drops. Is she really going too…?
"We're not!"
Yep, she is.
