ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 5

Bethany had been working on some of her dances by herself in studio A, trying to get some extra practice in and improve on her dancing.

She didn't really need to be there that day, seeing as there wasn't a rehearsal going on but she still loved to go in on her one day off of the week, she just loved to dance.

She was ecstatic that she had been chosen as one of the people to perform the trio at the qualifier, it meant that she was in the top three at The Next Step and was therefore on Rileys radar.

As time went on she was starting to love being at The Next Step, it felt as though she had been there for months but in reality she had only been there a few weeks.

To say she had made some great friends there was an understatement, they were all so kind to her and she definitely classed them as her best friends, especially the zero percent girls.

Noah had also been a person she was starting to get close too, she didn't know how she felt about him yet, she knew she loved dancing with him since the two had amazing chemistry, what she didn't know was if that meant something.

Either she had feelings for Noah or she didn't and that's something she couldn't figure out just yet, it was too soon.

A buzz of Bethany's phone brung her out of the dream like state she was in, she was definitely guilty in the fact of skipping away from reality and just listening to what her head was telling her.

She unlocked her phone to see a message from Noah, asking her to come to the lounge because he needed her help.

Bethany grabbed her dance bag and immediately messaged Noah back before going to the place he told her to meet him.

"Hey." Beth smiled as she slid open the door to see Noah sat down waiting for her.

"Hey, thanks so much for meeting me." Noah got up and made his way over to the girl.

"No problem, I wasn't just going to ignore your message." Bethany laughed nervously.

"That's true." Noah laughed. "Anyways, I need your help."

"With what?" Bethany led on.

"Alright, well, I'm going to this family gathering.."

"You don't want me to come right?" Bethany immediately interrupted him, she had no idea what came over her.

"No, no." Noah assured her, laughing slightly. "Every year my aunts and uncles always make fun of my outfit, so, I was thinking that since we're close and all that you might help me?"

Bethany couldn't help but grin at the fact Noah thought that they were close as-well, she was glad it just wasn't all in her head.

"Yeah, of course I can." Bethany nodded before looking down to his bag. "Did you bring outfits with you?"

"Oh, yeah, I brought this duffel bag." He picked up said bag and placed it on the table. "You know, a couple of go to family gathering ensembles."

"Great, so let's start with shirts seeing as they're the most important part of the outfit." Bethany suggested.

"Shirts? I actually never knew that." Noah exclaimed. "Alright."

Noah started to unbutton the long sleeved shirt he was wearing, taking it off to reveal only a black vest top.

Bethany couldn't help but stare at his muscles, how couldn't she? They were right there in front of her and she wouldn't human if she didn't.

"Well, I mean, is there anything in like particular that you want me to try on first.. what do you think?" Noah asked as he rummaged through the bag.
