The Next Step Home Series: Book One

Chapter 4: Michelle

It was weird not having dance today, I don't think I've ever gone a day in a long time without dancing. I decided to spend my day off with my friend from school Miranda, I also invited Giselle and Thalia over to hang out and also meet Miranda. Thalia and Giselle are my closest friends in the studio and Miranda is my closest friend out side of the studio so I decided they all should meet.
"So do you think your dance friends will like me?" Miranda asked as she put her long brown hair up into a high pony tail.
"They will love you!" I replied. Giselle and Thalia are two of the nicest people I know and there's no way that they could not like Miranda because Miranda is also one of the nicest people I know. I jump up off my comfy bed as I hear the doorbell ring!
"That must be them!" I say with excitement! I run out of my room and down the stairs to open the door.

"HI" I shout, it's only been a few hours since I've seen them and I've already missed Thalia and Giselle so much. They both hug me tightly for a few moments and then I pull away knowing Miranda must feel left out. I turn around but Miranda isn't there, she must've been to shy and stayed up stairs in my room.
"You guys head up stairs, and I'll grab some snacks!" I say as I head to the kitchen. Hopefully once I go back upstairs they will all of bonded instantly. I'm so excited for us all to become friends.

I open the fridge and reach for the pickles and peanut butter. I grab a knife and spread the peanut butter all over the pickles. This was me, Thalia and Giselle's favourite snack. I know it's a little weird but I'm sure Miranda will love it!

I walk into my room and it is complete awkward silence. Nobody was talking and Miranda was even sitting on a separate side of the room. I walk and set the peanut butter pickles on my desk.
"Michelle sit here!" Giselle and Thalia yell sitting on my window ledge.
"Michelle over here!" Yells Miranda sitting on my bed. I was in a bunch, how am I supossed to choose between my dance friends and my school friend... This is not what was supossed to happen...
