Pretty long chapter this one because it seemed right to describe what's going to happen in school and who among the Forsaken characters will further meet

Dance Vigilantes

Chapter 4: First Day of School

Jojo's POV

"Jojo? Hurry up! You might be late in your first day at school!"

"Yeah be right there! Just finishing up some things!"

It's the first day of school and I'm kind of excited. New school means new adventures and best of all, I get to experience High School now! FInally I'm in the big leagues of being a teenager now! Sure, my friends and at times, even my mom scare me about HIgh School eating me alive but I brush it off. Jojo Siwa doesn't fuck around with negativity. This girl is only fueled by positivity

Once I get dressed, I come down and go to the kitchen and grab two breakfast bagels and some veggie shake for me to know on the way to school

"What took you so long Jojo? Brynn and Mackenzie already left. You're the only one here in Glenview!" My mom, Jess said to me

"Sorry mom can't decide what to wear. This is the first day of school after all" I said with a smile. Mom just chuckled about it

"Well I can relate to that. I can't decide what to wear everyday when I was your age. Come on, let's jet and be on our way" mom said and off we went. Mom however, stopped walking towards outside and looked at me strangely

"Aren't you forgetting something dear?" She said with a smirk

"Should I remember I forgot something?" I asked

"Now Jojo, use your head. You know you forgot something" She chuckled

I thought over what I really forgot about and wow it's hard. I scratched my head in deep thinking and then I realized that I did forget something

"Oh man how can I forget that?!" I moaned and quickly rushed on to my room. I opened one of my dressers and grabbed a yellow bow and clip it in my hair. I went down as quickly as possible and found my mom laughing at me

"That's better honey. Not used to you without your bow"

"Well Jojo with a bobo can't be without her bow" I said with a wink

We rode the car and we were off. Mom insisted on driving me to school. I told her about what happened to us last night and she was scared shitless and hugged me tight all night and even offered if I wanted to sleep beside her. I politely declined that offer because come on, I'm thirteen already and no thirteen year old is a baby anymore though, I did have trouble sleeping the night. Sure those Fusion guys were cool and rescued us but you can't deny that we almost got killed and maybe even raped. I shudder and brush off the alternative if we haven't been rescued

We arrive in Lakeview High School in short order and I immediately saw my friends in the front of the school

"Now have a good time in school Jojo and remember, no unwanted attention" Mom said with emphasis in the 'unwanted attention' part

"Yeah mom I know. It's a miracle no one had recognized us yet. Maybe that's how low we already sunked…" I said somberly

"Or Chicago folk are just not that into TV and Youtube. Cheer up now dear. Who always comes back like a boomerang?"

"Oh man...yeah mom it's me. I'll enjoy it don't worry" I laughed and I hugged and kissed mom before I got off the car

"Have fun Jojo and stay out of danger!"

"There you are Jojo! What took you so long?" Mackenzie asked

"Sorry guys. Got a little carried away in taking a bath" I said with a smile

"Hope you didn't just pour juice in your head as your way of taking a bath" Kendall said and everyone laughed at that

"Oh don't worry. I made sure to pour milk instead of juice to really moisturize my skin" I replied back

"Oh that is really the thing you'd really do I'm sure of it" Kelly said

"No wonder you're as white as milk" Brynn added

"Anyway, how's everyone? You all got some good night sleep?" I asked and they all had pained expressions in their faces. I think I might know the answer already

"Well not exactly…." Kendall said

"Last night was just traumatizing. I can't unsee it" Brynn said

"I couldn't sleep because it was mostly due to my stomach cramps but it did involve last night"

"Wow, no wonder you're cranky today" I said and that let out a couple of laughs and a scowl from Mackenzie

"I actually got nightmares about it.." Kelly said

"Me too. I mean, you just can't brush off being held at knife point and that counts for my mom too. The nightmare was about us being in knife point…." Kalani said sadly. We expected this to Kalani already because she and her mom was the one who got the most of the fiasco as well as Christ-y and Sarah.

"Hey, don't feel about it guys. Everything is okay now right? We're alive and we were rescued. Let's not think of any negativity here. It's killing our vibe and we don't want that in our first day of school" I said to them in a hopefully pep talk voice

"Well Jojo's right. We can't have this ruining our first day of school. We're alive and that's what we should focus on" Brynn said

"Or in the words of Miss Abby, we have to suck it up" Mackenzie said

"And don't fuck up" Kalani added, now smiling

"Oh if that was just only shown in TV back then, it would make the show even more interesting" I said and everyone laughed

"Glad everyone's all cheered up now. Let's just focus on our first day of school here and let's not draw any unwanted attention" Nia said

"Well now I'm scared again. How am I alone in eighth grade? I'll be devoured!" Kendall moaned

"Oh you'll be fine. Make friends and let's just meet one another in lunch" I said

"I'm actually nervous guys. I feel like I'll be picked on when everyone knows that my mom's the new principal of this school" Nia said shyly

"WAIT WHAT?!" We all shouted together. We all know that Holly or should I say Dr. Holly used to be a teacher and at one point a principal of a school. This can really give Nia some advantage and us some get out of trouble cards

"It's true guys! I thought that she was just going to be a teacher but I never expected her to end up being the principal"

"I mean, is that bad? You have school advantage now! You can get away with anything!" I said excitedly

"You think it applies to all of us?" Mackenzie aid excitedly. I smell mischief coming from that girl but who am I kidding? I'm part of that mischief!

"Uhhh newsflash! That's a total disadvantage for us and a really total disadvantage for Nia!" Kalani exclaimed

"Why is that? I mean, you're the principal's daughter for fuck's sake! You're untouchable!" Kendall said

"Uhh no see, it doesn't make you untouchable. It makes you a bully magnet and that can lead to disaster!" Brynn said

"Plus, do you really think my mom is the kind of person that excludes me in everything?" Nia butted in

"Well I guess you have a point there…" I said

"Damn and I was going to pull a first day prank on everyone" Mackenzie

"I am taking no part in that!" Kelly said

"Sure you won't. I'm in if it's a go!" I said

"Oh boy, principal's office here we come.." I heard Nia murmured

"Let's go already and we might be late for class!" Brynn said

We all parted ways much to the horror of Kendall and we went our separate ways: Nia and Kalani were in the same class and Kendall was all alone. Brynn and Mackenzie was in the same class while Kelly and me are together in first period.

The walk to our class was to say, very interesting. Every kid's eyes were at us. Some are looking at us in awe and some of them are squinting angrily at us. Pff haters. I hear some of them whisper comments at us

"Whoah check those four girls out"

"Never seen them here before. They look like freshmen…."

"The one with the bow looks cute"

"With that bow? She looks stupid"

"They look familiar…"

"I'd love to fuck the one with the tan"

"Shit, they're gorgeous!"

The four of us look at each other and smile. Looks like we're getting popular in no time

"Looks like we're getting attention already" Kelly said

"I feel the popularity rising in the four of us already" Mackenzie added

"I won't wonder anymore if we get to steal the girl's boyfriends here" I said and we laughed at that

"I think I don't want that kind of trouble. A swarm of fans was enough a tail to be followed thank you very much" Brynn said nervously

"For a girl that can kick balls, you sure are nervous from time to time" Mackenzie said

"Yeah, I thought she was a beast like she always says" I added

"Hey!, I am a beast….at heart!"

We approached a classroom near the stairs and then we look at each other

"Well, here's our stop. Time for me to see if we'll have a fun time here or we'll see Brynn's beast side" Mackenzie said

"Oh stop it Kenzie. So where's your class you two?" Brynn asked

"It's up at the second floor. We have social studies in first period" I said

"Wow, that's a relief! I'm glad it's not math" Kelly said

I hear Mackenzie groan and Brynn laughing

"Well our first period happens to be math. Sucks to be us I guess" Brynn said with smile

"I fucking hate math! Let's just get this over with" Mackenzie said as they entered in their classroom

"Well, at least Brynn took it well. Kenzie is cranky today" Kelly said

"Well Kenzie hates anything related to math and Brynn takes everything well. Let's go before the bell rings" I say and we went upstairs to our own classes

Camerons POV

I run as fast as I can to my first class. I was running late and overslept because of waiting for my dad to get home. Usually mom does it but she was sick so I offered to wait for dad even though it was a school night. Dad was out because he was in night duty again and apparently, Fusion had been very busy in their patrol last night and all of CPD was just back and forth in running the scums of Chicago. My dad, Sam Fellowes, had been tired not because of chasing criminals but by picking them up. Usually Fusion gets the job done nowadays and the CPD just picks them up. I like it that way because it meant dad was less tired unlike always. I was running in search of my next class and I really need to hurry up on this

"Ouch!"

I felt something blocked me and the next thing I knew, I was plunged in the floor but somehow, I felt that I hit something soft.

"Oh my God Jojo are you alright?" A girl's voice said

I try to stand up and fix myself. I must have hit on something or someone. I look over and there in the ground are two girls sitting next to each other. Well the other one was trying to stand up anyway. The one who was helping the one I bumped into had long blonde hair and had full bangs in her hair and big eyes. The one who I apparently bumped into got my attention. She had blonde hair as well only it was overly blonde like it was bleached or something and she was dressed flamboyantly with her jean vest and skirt and a tshirt underneath but the one accessory that got my attention was the bow in her head. WHo wears a bow in this generation?

"Watch where you're going will you?! You like tackling people to a pancake or something?" The one with the bow shouted

"I'm really sorry about that. I got carried away looking for my class. Are you alright?" I asked the girl

"Yeah I'm okay I guess. I've been into worse than this. I once got pushed in cement mixed with lotion and juice" She said as she dusted herself off. Wait what was she talking about?

"Oh forgive her. She tends to be weird at times. Must be all the juice she's pouring" The girl with the full bangs said with an apologetic smile. She must have sensed my confused look

"Hey, I love being weird and makes me unique and you know, you gotta watch where you're-" The girl with the bow said but stopped talking when she looked at me. I can't describe it but she looks, very interesting. Something about her seems weird in a good way. I try to snap myself out because I felt that I was looking weird that's why she stopped

"Sorry about that...just got lost finding my class. I was running late" I said to them

"That's okay. Hate arguing over accidents anyway.. We're sort of new here and we got lost too" The girl with the bow said

"Well she's actually new here in Chicago but I'm new in this school too so I can't really guide her" The one with the fullbangs said

"I guess we all have something in common. Really need to find social studies here before the school bell rings" I said to them

"You're first period is social studies? Us too! Then that makes us classmates!" Bow girl said excitedly

"Really? Then how about the three of us find it together? I'm sure that's much comfortable than finding it alone" I offered

"Sounds like a plan. First day of school and we already made a new friend. I'm Kelly by the way" Full bangs girl said

"Oh yeah forgot to introduce ourselves. Stupid thing to forget! I'm Joelle but you can just call me Jojo" Bow girl said with a flourish and a cheeky smile. Wow this girl is hyper

"Jojo? That seems like an interesting name" I offered

"That it is. I love it. Jojo with a Bobo. Remember it"

"How about you hot stud, what's your name?" Kelly asked. And Jojo giggled. I think it had something to do with the stud comment

"Well I'm Cameron. Lived here in Chicago all my life" I said

"Really? Chicago's pretty cool to grow up to huh?! They have their own superhero group!" Jojo said

"Well that's one of the reasons Chicago's cool. Because of Fusion!" Kelly said with a little bit of excitement like Jojo was showing

"Well they are pretty neat to look at" I said in agreement. I should know this because I'm part of it

"Especially when they rescued us last night from those gang men….wow that was a thing to see!" Jojo said excitedly

"Rescued? Anything happened last night?" I asked

"Long story. We'll tell you all about it but it's best we find our class now" Kelly said and I nodded

"Oh shit yeah, we might be late. Let's gogo with Jojo!" Jojo said as she grabbed mine and Kelly's arms and dragged us to find our classrooms. Somehow it feels strange how soft her hands are

"You know, what if some of the students here are Fusion members?" Jojo suddenly asked

"Well it's possible since they're some kids in that group. We did see the caped one known as Psyche and she looked like ten years old" Kelly said

They have no clue how close they are to one member

Kendall's POV

I was so nervous approaching my first period classroom. To tell you the truth, I don't really feel comfortable being alone here. I'm used to being surrounded by my friends and family, especially my dance friends. I go inside and see that several students looking at me with puzzled looks. I try to ignore them and act confident and stride on to the seat near to the front of the teacher's table. Once I got seated, some kids are still looking at me. Do I have a booger in my face or something? Well of course, I'm Kendall Vertes, dance and TV star. How stupid am I to forget that people might recognize me. It's not like everything was an issue when I went to school back in LA. People love having me around and I lived a pretty normal life in school despite the claims that I was a primadonna brat off the camera. Crazy tabloids all the way. After the property scandal though, A lot of my former friends turned back on me and said that they don't want to be associated with a criminal's daughter. Why did this happen? I mean, we were innocent! Who did this and why? To spite Miss Abby? Because they hate my mother? They hate me? That's why I dreaded being in school or public places. People just judge and stare. The incident took a big toll in my self esteem and I relied on my sisters, parents, and my friends who never left my side for support. If it wasn't for them….

I mentally slap myself. Focus Kendall! You're not in LA anymore. You're in Chicago now. I need to really remind myself that I'm living a new start with everyone else now. It's fine if people recognize me and approach me but I'm just afraid they might spite and judge.

In my peripheral vision, I see three girls approach me and smile on me.

"Can I help you three?" I asked them

"Um yeah...are you Kendall Vertes?" The girl in the middle asked. She was a redhead and had her hair cut into a bob

"Well yes I am. Just moved here in Chicago and I'm here for first period" I said to them with a smile

"Oh my gosh so the rumors are true! We are your biggest fans. We love to watch you perform and be on TV. You are so pretty!" The redhead said in an excited tone

"Well thank you. I really appreciate that" I said with a smile. Wow I am not used to that kind of attention anymore. Kind of makes me miss the old days

"Can we have your autograph please? It would really mean to us three" The redhead said as she handed me a pink notebook

"Well I would love to do that" I said as I get the thick notebook and opened it. What I saw in the notebook made me jump in fear. There inside were cockroaches. I fucking hate cockroaches! I threw the notebook and squirmed in my seat. I saw the redhead and her two friends laugh

"Oh my God you're a huge baby! That was fucking funny!" The redhead laughed harder. What the fuckwas going on

"Okay what the fuck was that about?! That was not funny!" I shouted. I see several students look and laugh at me and some turn away and there are some who even shook their heads

"You really think we're fans of YOU? Please, you're the one we hate the most in that drama filled show especially your mother" The redhead said. I was seething and at the same time, felt tears welling up in my eyes

"Why would you do that? I didn't even do anything wrong with you guys!" I replied

"Oh we did it for laughs. Really shows how a brat you really are"

"I am no fucking brat…"

"Well listen up Kendall, this is the real 're time in the spotlight is over. We're reminding you that you're no queen here. For us, you're a crybaby brat with a dramatic mother who's not that good of a dancer"

I'm astonished with these girls especially with stupid redhead here. I encountered haters in some time in my life but never this intense. I was really sinking low now. I felt tears coming out of my eyes now

"Aww look girls, we made Kendall K cry. She really is a crybaby in real life" Redhead said as she laughed even harder

"Hey Stella! You done picking a fight in there?!"

The four of us looked from the window and see two individuals. One was a boy who had auburn hair and was a bit chubby but was honestly very cute. The one in front of her, was a girl with long blonde hair and had these green, hazel shaped eyes that had fire in them, contrasting the eyes of the boy she was with that had concern in his eyes. I didn't know to which of us is the girl looking at

"Oh please Lauren don't but in here will you?! Let us have our fun for a change!" redhead, who was apparently named Stella said in a stern voice

"Since when is picking on anyone considered 'fun'? And also, kind of rude with this new girl to be showing Lakeview spirit in a bad way right?" Blonde girl said, who Stella mentioned as Lauren. She approached us and faced Stella and looked her firmly in the eye

"I'll say this once Lauren Edwards...leave us alone and let us have our fun" Stella said firmly

"And I'll say this once too. I'll leave you alone when you're done harassing the new kid here" Lauren said a bit sternly and I saw Stella flinch a little. She looked at me and then looked back at Lauren and let out a huff a couple of seconds later

"You're both bitches anyway. A slut and a brat...how fitting and Brad, I hope you don't get herpes dating Lauren. Let's go girls" Stella said in an irritated voice and marched off. The other kids seemed to have

I looked at my apparent saviour and she smiled at me and I smile in return

"Thanks for that. I didn't like what those girls did to me" I said shyly

"Oh it's nothing. Stella and her shit squad are a bunch of bitches to everyone anyway. Don't get anything from." She said as she gave me a smile

"Yeah I'll make sure of that. I'm used to haters but that was a whole new level. Are the bullies here like this here?" I said

"Well most of the time we don't have any bullies here but somehow, some are suddenly born to terrorize everyone" The boy said

"Well school is where the bully thrives. I'm Kendall by the way. Kendall Vertes" I said

"Nice to meet you Kendall. My name's Lauren Edwards and this right here is Brad" Lauren said as she pointed at the boy who waved his hands at me nervously

"You guys are really nice and you're good in standing up to people in need" I say to Lauren

"Well when you make a statement and beat up the top bully of the school, why would anyone mess with you?" Brad said with a laugh and Lauren nudged him playfully. The way they look at each other seemed to me is that they're in a relationship

"Wow really? That's kind of amazing and that should really send a message to everyone both good and bad" Said to her. Lauren seemed to have become shy at that comment

"Oh it's nothing really. I don't think of it that way"

I look over to the back and see Stella look at me and that look was with daggers. Lauren noticed me and nudged.

"Don't worry about them. I'll be right beside you. You're next to my seat anyway" Lauren said to me as she sat on the chair next to me

"Thank you so much. I really appreciate this. It's a bitch when you're friends on a different grade than you" I said to her

"Well I kind of get that too. Some of my friends are in another level too" Lauren replied.

"Hey Brad, aren't you going to sit down?" I asked

'Oh uh, I'm not really in eighth grade. I'm just here to drop off Lauren" Brad said with a nervous laugh

"And I thank you for that but shouldn't you be running to class now?" Lauren asked with a sly smile

"Oh yeah! Got to run!" Brad said as he sprang off clumsily to the door. I actually laughed at that and Lauren did too

"Boys" lauren said

"I know right?"

Nia's POV

The bell rang and we all got to our seats. Me and Kalani had actually found our first period rather quickly and not a moment too soon. Our first class was physics: the one thing I hate about science.

"Good thing this class is pretty tame huh?" I said to Kalani who was seated besides me

"I know right? The other classrooms we passed was chaotic. I thought everyone would be more tamed as the grades get higher" Kalani said with a laugh

"But I do love me some good chaos" I said and we laughed at that. The classroom door opened and a man who was around 5'7 must be our teacher. He had little hair in his head and was of black-american descent and was quite handsome too and the smile that was in his face was so charming. Oh dear what am I saying? Snap out of it Nia!

"Well it seems the day is very wonderful for everyone. I hope you're all ready for today's lesson" our teacher said as he looked over at me and Kalani's direction and smiled

"Oh yeah by the way, I have been informed that we have some new students here and both of them are from LA if I heard right" Our teacher said and everyone got into murmurs and whispers. I look over at Kalani and she seemed nervous. I can relate.

"Here we go. The dreaded introduce yourselves part"Kalani whispered

"Our newcomers are Nia Frazier and Kalani Hilliker. To properly introduce myself to you two, I'm Isaac Swanson or Mr. Swanson for you. I think some introductions from you two are in order?" Mr. Swanson said to us with a smile. I heard more murmurs and whispers from everyone. I think they might recognize us

"Uhhh…" I stuttered nervously

"Oh let me go first if you're nervous Nia. So I'm Kalani Hilliker and I'm 15 years old. I'm new here in Chicago and this is actually my third move to a city. I was originally from Phoenix and my mom owns a dance studio back there and I love to dance and sing and do some youtube videos. I'm a friendly, weird friend and all are welcome to approach me. I don't bite" Kalani said as she winked at me. I saw some of the girls and most of the boys look at her in amazement

"Well that is one introduction. I'm sure you'll be gracing us with your dance moves later on. How about you NIa, would you mind introducing yourself?" Mr Swanson said as Kalani took in her seat and winked at me. Wow and she was the one who had a knife pointed in her throat last night. I stand up and ready myself for some mandatory introductions

"Hi everyone! My name is Nia Frazier and I'm from Pittsburgh but I was in LA before we moved here in Chicago. Like kalani, I'm 15 and Kalani here is actually one of my closest friends so we;re pretty tight. I love to dance as well as sing and act too and also like to explore new things with friends. I'm approachable and you can open up to me anytime" I said with a smile and that gave me the same reaction Kalani had earlier

"Fun fact everyone: Ms. Frazier here is the daughter of our new principal, Mrs. Holly Frazier so be nice" Mr. Swanson said with a wink and that gave out even more murmurs and whispers in the room. I was so embarrassed by that. I was avoiding being known as the 'principal's daughter'. I look over at Kalani and then she just gave me an apologetic look. The door suddenly opened and in came a heaving girl about an inch shorter than me and Kalani. Yeah, we were tall. Sue us. The girl had auburn, medium length hair and was a bit pale in complexion. She has gleaming blue eyes and a rounded,bit chubby face that made her look gorgeous.

"Well Ms. Hella. A bit too early for tomorrow's next class?" Mr. Swanson said and that made us chuckle

"Sorry Mr. Swanson. I overslept. My alarm must have been broken" The girl said catching her breath. She had a pretty deep irish accent too.

"Well we haven't started yet anyway so get inside and take your seat Saoirse"

The girl thanked Mr. Swanson and got in her seat, which was in front of me. Maybe slouch is a better term to use. She looked back at us and then she squinted her eyes

"Haven't seen you guys before. You all knew here?" The girl said

"Yeah we are. This is our first day of school" I confirmed to her. She smiled at us

"I see. Welcome to Lakeview then. It's usually quite in our place here and chaotic in the lower years but I'm sure you'll like it here. Where you guys from originally?"

"Both of us were from LA. Kind of getting used to the chilly weather up here in the north really" I said

"We'll I'm from Phoenix so I'm used to a little heat" Kalani added

"LA? A little far from Chicago don't you think? I actually thought your friend here was from another country to be honest. She has an exotic kind of complexion" The girl said with a smile

"Oh I get that all the time. I'm Kalani by the way" Kalani said with a laugh

"And I'm Nia" I added

"Nice meeting you guys. I'm Saiorse. I'm not from around here originally too. I'm from great britain" She said

"Well the accent kind of gave it away and wow your name's a mouthful. No offense" I said with a chuckle.

"Oh it's a mouthful for me too so my friends just call me SD instead"

"SD huh? Kind of like the ring to it" Kalani said

"Ladies? I think we should focus on class right now. We're kind of making a scene now?" I said to them as I indicated with my hands several students and our teacher looking at us

"Is your little meeting now done young ladies?" Mr. Swanson asked

"Sorry sir" All three of us said. Saorise gave us us a smile and whispered something to us

"I think I'll get along with the two of you" Saoirse said. We get welcomed and made a new friend. What a way to start school

Turns out, me, Kalani, and SD had the same classes before lunch break so we get to be together and we got to know SD more. Apparently she has an older sister named Morgan who was in tenth grade and me and Kalani also noticed that SD seems a little….off for time to time like she was thinking about a secret that only she knew. I also noticed that she was checking out certain men playfully. I think we might have a wild time with SD here

As the bell rang for the last class of the morning, me and Kalani were relieved. It was lunch break and the ALDC dancers will be reunited again. We haven't seen each other and to be honest, we kind of miss each other now. Sarah was in North Park elementary so it's all in imagination what's happening to her now

"So you two have anyone else to be with for lunch break?" SD asked

"We actually have some friends that are in the lower levels and we'll be having lunch together. You can join us if you want" I said to SD

"Yeah. We're crazy but we can be fun to be with" kalani added

"Well usually I hang out with some friends and my sister but hey, I guess a change in environment is good" SD said

"Great! Let's go then!" I said and we went out of the classroom but then someone shoved me and Kalani hard in the doorframe as he rather a she passed by us

"Rude. Watch where you're going will you?!" Kalani shouted

"You have a problem missy?" The girl said

"Well yeah, you shoved us like trash in the doorway. Wait for your turn to go out next time!" kalani replied loudly

"You look like trash anyway" The girl replied back and I see Kalani seeth. Normally Kalani doesn't like fights and dramas but when she gets into one….oh she's worse than her mother

"Oh please Juno we don't have time for your bullshit. Let it go already" SD said sternly and she seemed to flinch. So Juno's her name

"Kalani come on. Let go of it. The drama isn't worth it" I said to Kalani

"Fine…" Kalani replied

"Grrr if only you weren't friends with that girl…" Juno said as she stormed off

"Who was that jerk?" I asked SD

"She's Juno. BIggest lesbian bitch of this school. She gets on everyone's nerves but just show her a good ass kicking and she'll shut up and leave you alone"

"You must have done something to her then. She seemed scared of you" I said to her clearly impressed

"Considering how small you are to her, that is one crazy thing to stand up to her" kalani added. Saoirse raised and eyebrow and but then smiled

"Well I can fight but she has beef with a friend of mine who's a bigger bitch than me so she avoids messing with anyone associated with her" SD said

She seems to have some interesting friends. We brush off everything and then proceed now to the cafeteria. So far, no one seems to recognize us as celebrities. I wonder how the rest are doing?

Brynn's POV

"Mack Z! We Love you!"

"Brynn! Brynn over here!

"Ziegler! Sign my pants!"

"How's life here Brubbles?!"

"Are your mom's going to pick you up later?!"

"Where are the other dancers?!"

The moment we got out for lunch, student's just swarmed us and asked for autographs, questions, anything that goes for a celebrity. So much for keeping a low profile but hey who are we kidding? You can't just disappear if you're Club Dance's top dancer and Maddie Ziegler's younger sister. A lot of kids are pushing and pulling us. We got into some selfies and sign some autographs but when the swarm turned into a horde, everything was just chaos

"Kenzie?! Still alive in there?!" I shouted

"Kenzie?!" I shouted again. Where was she? Don't tell me she got away and left me here. Oh if I found out that she ditched me…

I felt my leg get yanked on the floor and almost hit the floor. When I got my bearings, I saw Mackenzie with a bewildered look on her face

"Enjoying the crowd up there?" Mackenzie asked

"Well enjoying is a bit of an overstatement. I guess some things never change for us" I replied as I swatted off a hand trying to grab my hair

"So this is what it's like if there's no railing or guards to block of a swarm of fans" Mackenzie said

"Oh please that only works for you since you're Mack Z and the younger Ziegler. I haven't had this problem since now" I said to her

"Well you do have a point. So any idea how to get out of here and not get torn to shreds by our fans?" Mackenzie asked. I looked around to where we were and saw a small opening in the legs of the crowd that was surrounding us

"Time to be a trooper Kenzie. Crawl that way!" I shouted to her as I crawled ahead and I felt Mackenzie follow me behind. We got out and we quickly stand and make a run for it and as soon as we ran, some shouted "There they are!" and we got chased. It was like being chased by a pack of rabid wolves.

We ran as fast as we could. Mackenzie and I had great cardio so we can keep running fast but it seems that Mackenzie was already tiring. We turned a corner and more of them were at the end and chased us once they saw us. We went in the other direction but it was the same. We were stuck and no way out. I looked over Mackenzie and we only had certain words to blurt out

"Oh shit..."

Then I felt arms grab me and then I see Mackenzie thrash and turn besides me. I try to move but the arms holding me were really strong and I felt they were thin arms too. Wow this person is strong. We got shoved in a room and then I saw two pair of feet. I look up and see that it was a girl that had short blonde hair that was medium in length and had a stare that screamed dangerous. I don't know if she was glaring at me or not. I look over her shoulder and see a boy who I think was far in our age and had medium, moppy hair. He looked in one direction and then blurted out "Hey guys I found Mack Z and Brynn!"

I look over at Mackenzie and she had a panicked expression in her face. I was panicking too

"You stop pointing us right now!" I shouted but I got shoved by the girl in front of us. Mackenzie tried to stand up and push the girl but got shoved back as well. We look at the girl and she had a stern contemplating look on her face. I know those types of looks. It either screamed bloody murder or a crazed fan trying to get us or both. I felt threatened and upon looking toward Mackenzie, she looked irritated and was gnashing her teeth. Kind of reminds me of an angry pitbull actually . I can't kick the groin in this situation this time. These are the moments I wished girls had some balls.

"What's your problem?! Are you some sort of crazed fan club president?" I asked the girl

We listened and the crowd got closer and closer. So much for avoiding the crowd and getting attention

"Well, shit hit the fan on us this time" I hear Mackenzie say

"Well by now we have to get used to it. Time to get ready for sore bodies I guess" I said. As the crowd got closer, we got ready for a stampede

"Josh, you know what to do!" The girl said. I see the boy outside nod and then run off.

"This way! I saw them here!" I hear the boy shout from the distance. As soon as he left, the girl with us closed the door and signaled us to duck. We complied. We listened on as the crowd got near the room and ran past it. Those crazed shouts and squeals. We waited until the noise dissipated and then it was followed by silence. It seemed like an hour even though it was just minutes that passed. Then the girl with us breathed in a sigh of relief and smiled at us

"Well those kids are really crazy I can tell you that. Is that really included in the package when you're famous?" The girl said

"I guess? You encounter them everyday when you're in the industry" I said followed by Mackenzie suddenly butting in

"Wait wait who are you anyway? And why did you save us? How'd you also know where we were?"

"Well to answer those, my name is Chloe Benett and you should remember that well. I saved you because those fuckers looked like they were going to trample you. Also, I followed you guys" Chloe said with a smile but her eyes kind of got me a little creeped out. Like it screamed bloody murder. I'm not sure if I should be afraid or not

"Well thank you Chloe...we weren't really expecting that. I'm - "

"You're Brynn Rumfallo. Elite dancer and multiple winner of super dance competitions and you're friend right there is Mackenzie Ziegler A.K.A. Mack Z who's also an elite dancer and singer and soon to be triple threat and both of you are better known as the stars of Dance Moms" Megan said with a wide smile. Me and Mackenzie look at each other and raised our eyebrows

"Wow, talk about being a private eye on us" I said

"Well my mom's a huge fan of dancing and kind of hard to not recognize celebrities when you see them in TV am I right?" Chloe said with a raised eyebrow

"Well she has a point. At some point, we're still relevant somehow" Mackenzie said

"Thank you again for saving us Chloe. You and your friend" I said to her with a smile

"Oh, Josh? He's actually my boyfriend" Megan said and she had her cheeks glow red

"Oh...well thanks to your boyfriend too? I hope he's okay with that crowd and all" I replied

"Yeah. When you get inside those big crowds and they swarm you, you tend to get touched in parts not meant to be touched normally" Mackenzie said and I gave her a look

"What did I say?" Kenzie replied and I just shook my head while Megan laughed it off

"Don't worry about Josh. The fucker can handle himself"

Then the door of the room opened and we were on high alert. Megan looked like she was about to pounce and kill the one who entered

"Whoah whoah it's just me. Want to let you know that the kids have died down and they can go free" The boy said. It was the same boy that was with Chloe, Josh. He seemed to be older than us as well as Megan and I can admit, Josh is one hottie especially with that moppy of his.

Dammit Brynn! Focus! The boy has a girlfriend now even though that kind of disturbs me

"What the fuck took you so long? You only needed to get them lost and move on" Chloe said

"Well I had to report it to the principal. The crowd was just growing and out of control. One kid even taught another kid was Mack Z and got her shirt ripped by several fans. I was fucking madness so I needed the help of the principal" Curtis said

"I guess that's a wise move then. We don't want any trouble brewing. I have one enough to handle already" I said as I looked over Mackenzie and just laughed lightly as a response.

"But man you guys are all crazy! I never seen such a crazed fanbase related to us" Kenzie said

"Well Chicago can drive you nuts sometimes. I think it's safe for you guys to go on but I think we want to accompany you just to make sure" Chloe said

"Well thanks for the offer. We appreciate that" I said

"Cool! Mini bodyguards!" Mackenzie said and everyone just laughed it off

"But is it really the only reason you want to accompany us?" I asked them with a raised eyebrow and smile. Chloe and Josh had their heads down and they were smiling

"Well Josh here is actually a big fan of your show. He got sad when it got cancelled and when he knew that you guys were here, he just flipped" Chloe said with a laugh

"I mean and opportunity to be friends with them? It's too good to pass out on!" Josh exclaimed

"Well since you did save us, I guess we can be friends. Who knows, maybe we're on the same class later on" I said

"I think that would be a problem. We're actually in tenth grade" Chloe said

"Wow! First day of school for us and we had the attention of seniors!" I said excitedly. Being friends with seniors tend to make you look cool

"Well as long as you guys can handle my dirty mouth, I'm good" Mackenzie said as her form of agreement

"Well we don't have any problems with that don't we Chloe?"

"Oh please just shut the fuck up Josh"

Seems like we'll get along with them just fine

"Well since it's lunch time and no one is chasing you now, how about we go together?" Mackenzie said

"That's a great idea! We're still getting used to being here in High School. It's better to get lost with friends anyway" I added

"Well we're kind of new here too so yeah, why not?" Chloe said

"Wait, are the other kids going to join you as well?" Josh asked excitedly. I think I know what he means

"Well have you seen all of us separate when on the show? Of course not! Let us give you a VIP access to our famed circle" Mackenzie said with a flourish of her hands. I swear Mackenzie can be a real weirdo sometimes

"Awesome! Let's go!" Joshsaid as he went out of the room

"I swear, he fanboys you guys on a very strange level" Megan said to us with a shrug as she went along too and we followed.

"This had been one strange and crazy first day for us huh?" Mackenzie said

"Well yeah. Who normally gets swarmed by crazy fans in their first day of school?" I said with a laugh

"Wonder how the others are doing? Hope they're doing fine"

"Maybe the got flatten up already and we're walking on them right now"

We laughed at that remarked. But I really do wonder how they're doing

Steph's POV

They say the only thing constant in life is change. Well whoever said that, he or she had not heard the fucking word 'boredom'

We were in maths class - yes I call it maths because it's the correct term - and it's the same old boring routine. Numbers, equations, gibberish terms, when the fuck are we going to use this in real life anyway? I was starting to drift off again in my daydream chaos again when a knock on the door interrupted that. Who the fuck dares disturb my daydreaming?

It was our school principal that was knocking and came forward to our teacher and whispered looked towards outside and my teacher smiled. She went outside for a little while then came back but with a kid I haven't seen before. The kid faced us, and wow she was beautiful. So beautiful that I wonder if she even was within our age. She had fair, pale skin and had long blonde hair that was in a ponytail held by a scrunchy that had a flower corsage attached to it. Her almond shaped eyes perfectly frames her beautiful green eyes. She was a beauty to watch

Bloody hell Steph snap out of it! You will in no way end up like Chloe and Erika and will no way end up like your nutcase of a mum

But she was also familiar. I do recognize her! She was one of the girls that we rescued near DJAK that almost got kidnapped but thanks to her ball kicking friend, she stayed. What a small world we live in but then again, most of Fusion met one another in the midst of chaos so this should be no surprise for me

"Class, I'm glad to introduce you to your new classmate, Sarah Hunt. Come say hi to everyone Sarah" Our teacher said as this girl, Sarah came forward and smiled

"Hey everyone! I'm Sarah Hunt. I'm 11 years old and I like to play basketball and dance. Hope I get along with you all!"

She also has a very mature voice. I really doubt she's only 11. We all say hi as to welcome her. She looks like she's just fine to be with but her eyes tell me that she has other ideas

"Well why don't you have the seat next to ms. Lizewski by the window over there. She could use some company" Our teacher said and Sarah happily approached the seat next to mine

"Careful Sarah. Steph is no lady and can be pretty vicious at times" Everybody laughed at that remark

"Oh very funny Jackson. Just wait until after class" I said loudly while giving Jackson a death glare. I always like his reaction to it is when he flinches and I hate it when he just smiles at me after I do this. In this case, it's the latter that happened and it pisses me off

The Sarah girl slipped beside me and smiled

"Hey, I'm Sarah. You must be ms. Lizewski" She said as she held her hand up towards me. I smile and shake it because I still need to be nice to the new kid even though I want to rip off Jackson's genitals

"Well yeah that's me. Just call me Steph. Ms. Lizewski is kind of formal to my taste" I said to her

"Whoah a britiWell then nice to meet you Steph. I hope we get along well. You seem like a nice kid too and nice outfit. Love the denim get up" Sarah said with a wink. I blushed at that remark. It's not often I get to be complemented by my fashion statement. Usually it's the old 'Steph's a tomboy' compliment especially from Jackson

"Thanks for that. I really like your get up too. I think we'll get along just fine" I said with a smile. I'm not usually like this. I was used to being a loner but I guess time being a normal kid changed me back to who I was. To who I should be.

"I'm actually nervous about the first day of school. No friends here and I'm afraid I might get bullied" Sarah said to me

Her look reminded me of Anne Marie when she was still innocent. Well as innocent as i can remember anyway. It looked like she was a very sensitive kid.

"Well don't worry then. I'll be your friend and I can give you a little tour of the school By the way, I am not vicious as Jackson said" I said to her and she giggled.

"I appreciate that. I thank God for people like you Steph. You seem pretty nice" Sarah said with a smile

Ha! If only she knew who I really am. But I am impressed that she isn't affected by the action last night. Usually a person who had that moment can traumatize them. I hope she's really fine

We kept on talking and whispering much to the ire of our bloody teacher. Sarah dresses all girly and contrasting my tomboyish personality but it's like we were bestfriends since we were born. Yes, I know my own personality. Bloody deal with it. I just hope she can put up with the chaos that is my life

"By the way, I love the british accent. Are you from england or something?"

"Well yeah. I'm originally from there until I needed to move here"

"I love everything about england! They're so interesting and sophisticated to look at"

"Well we do love to keep things proper and show how you yanks how to things properly"

Sarah laughed way too hard and got her the attention of the whole class. This girl is crazy. I like her already
