The after party ??
Cheers to Courtney and Michael for a show well done
Cheers everyone chanted
I got my pay and I wore the cutest dress ever it was like Mrs Alodie said one of the bestsellers in La Chic it was a de-eper blood red ballroom tulle gown with no shoulders which I wore with
ne-cklace,bracelets and earrings with stilettos and beautiful a red rose accessory on my hair which was in a bun
You look really stunning
I looked up to see Michael dressed in black tuxedo and a red bow tie
Thanks you too
Courtney um I have something to tell you
What
But not here let’s go outside
Ok
He pulled me outside and we sat on a bench
Be fast,my mom will soon be here she doesn’t want me to overstay curfew
Oh ok
So I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to tell you but since this might be the last time I see you I guess I should tell you.
End of recap
“Tell me what” I said
“Courtney I um I uh”he replied
“What”
“I’m just going to come out and say it
I like you Courtney, I really really like you,since the first day we met I couldn’t stop thinking about you,my heart skipped a beat when I saw the next day I was really really happy when I saw you I’ve always looked forward to seeing you every day for these 4 days we spent together,you know when the clothes got stolen it was me I took them so I could see you again I just couldn’t stay till 5pm without seeing you I really wanted to see you before the show I really really really like you Courtney I really do,I hope you feel the same way
Will you be my girl”
“I,I,I,don’t know what to say”
“How about yes ”
I was short of words Michael likes me
I just don’t feel the same way I said in my head he’s a good guy I don’t want to break his heart but I don’t wanna lie to him and myself what am I going to do I opened my mouth but nothing came out I couldn’t possibly give an excuse one thing I know I’m a really bad liar,of all the times I wanted Mom to call me this was the time I just wanted my phone to ring so I could get a good excuse to get out of here
“Courtney Courtney ”Michael called my name
I didn’t know know what happened next but me and Michael were 3 inches away from kis-sing then I jolted back to reality
“Michael” I said pushing him away carefully I said with my sweetest voice not to hurt his feelings “I’m sorry but I don’t like you I just don’t feel the same way”
I could see the shocked look on his face
“I’m really really really sorry I just don’t feel the same way about you can we just be friends” I saw tears well up in his eyes and with that I got up to leave as I walked away I kept feeling like I was a bad person
?At home ?
“ Courtney what’s wrong you didn’t talk throu-ghout the drive”mom said
“Nothing I’m just not feeling too well ” I replied
“ Oh ok see you tomorrow”
Soon after I heard a knock on the door “come in” I said I knew it was mom
“ Babe you know you can’t fool me I know something’s wrong what happened” she said
“ I can’t talk right now but tomorrow I’ll tell you everything promise” I replied
“Just remember you can tell me anything I’m here for you always ” she said
“ Yes Mom love you”i told her
“ Love you too” she replied
“Good night Mom” I said
“Good night” she said and smiled
I picked up my phone to call Chloe before she left we made a pact to tell each other every thing before anyone else that’s how it’s always been I guess that’s part of the reason why I didn’t tell mom
?:Bonne soirée Courtney Chloe said as she picked the call
?:Bonne soirèe Chloe I told her everything and her reply was
?:So let me get this straight your friend who you met at the modeling job whose name is Michael asked you out on the after party of your show and also tried to kis-s you then you told politely him didn’t like him and you feel like a bad person
?:I just feel like I should said yes and pretend to like then break up with him after some time
?:But that will make you a greater bad person
?I know I just can’t help feeling like I lost my good friend
?You can’t turn the hands of time you’ve done it already just give him space if he still wants to be friends with you he’ll come around he can’t blame you for not liking him and neither can you you you have right to your own feelings that’s all I know for now
?Ok Chloe
?Yeah how you doing in your school you have a crush yet you Know captain of the basketball team or like most popular boy in school or something
?No
?Chloe enough about me what about you how you doing in the city of love found love yet
?No
?Not even a crush
?Girl focus on you I think you like the most popular boy in school
?Ohhh an excuse and I’ve only spent two days in that school am a fresher and I don’t like captain of the basketball team and I don’t think I’m getting a crush on Owen Crossley he’s thinks he’s a king
?Like Owen Crossley that guy has like 10 million followers or more on IG and tiktok
?I know saw it thrice,skipped it
?Whoa what did he do to you
?Nothing
?I know you don’t lie you’re really bad at it
?The first day of school he bumped into me and totally blamed it on me when I told him he was wrong he said he would sue me total snotty Rich boy
?I think you like him
?No I don’t
?Yet
?I don’t
?Owen and Courtney sitting in a tree
?Don’t you dare

?Oh you’re talking about me Chloe and Hayden sitting in a tree k.i.s.s.i.n.g
?What how did you know about Hayden

?That’s not true
?Oh it’s true
?We’re just friends we met at the exam and turned out our dorms were opposite each other
?Oh
?Yes
?I think you and Hayden are the perfect match
?We’re just friends and besides he doesn’t like me
?So you admitting you like him
?No I’m not I think you and Owen are perfect for each other
?No way I hate him he behaves all high and mighty likes his royalty or something
?Doesn’t mean you can’t like him
?Roaming cost so much you’re definitely paying for it
?Hey not fair
?Of course it is
?Bonsoir Chloe said
?Bonsoir I replied
?Then I hung up
She sent me a big kis-s emoji and added XOXO to the end I really love her she did it so I’ll forget all that happened today it worked I did forget she’s the best

“Like I said don’t know ”then the bell chimed
“We better get to cla-ss ”Clary said
“Yeah I guess I’ll steal some practice before auditions”
“Yeah ”
Me and Clary had almost all cla-sses together except for one which I had with Owen and Aimee and she had a cla-ss with Jason

“Nothing I’m just hosting a party this weekend and I wanted you to come it’s a MVP invitation because you’re MVP”
“Most valuable player”
“No most valuable person you know you ”
“I’m busy ”he said

“I need you to show up Owen please even if it’s just fifteen minutes ”
“Ok ten minutes”
“Deal ”I said

❄️ Courtney ❄️
I heard my name being called I looked back it was Clary
Hey girl you’re ready for dance team auditions
Yeah I have 2 more auditions after that
Oooh your program
Yeah let’s go girl
Dance auditions
Next up Danielle Parker
She’s good Clary told me I don’t think I can beat her she added
You can girl
Next we have Jason McBelle
Jason what now Clary said shocked
What’s wrong
What’s wrong Jason McBelle is here and you’re asking me what’s wrong forget about that how do I look
Perfect
Are you sure I never knew he will audition I knew they were boys but not Jason
Calm down I don’t think he will notice you with all those girls crowding him
But he will when I’m dancing
That’s true
I’ve got to ace it
Ok ok
He just great when dances and cute too
Next Courtney Harper
That’s my cue cheer for me
Of course
I finally finished and came back
So how did I do
Great
Thanks
Next Clary Jones
You go girl you got this
When she finished she twirled her hair and walked like a movie star then she tripped and fell and I rushed over to her while everyone else laughed
Are you alright
Yes
I was perfect right
No one’s perfect why will you want to be perfect
Because Jason’s watching
The audition ended and they did callbacks luckily me and Clary were called back
Now we go alphabetically first up Aaron Stuart
Then when they judged Clary she froze
Clary Jones you were off beat no rhythm you were just dancing without even feeling the beat just get out
Then she ran out crying
Then I ran after her.
