A Teen Year Chapter 5

Chapter 5

The first day of middle school was finally over. Aly was now back in the silver Honda pilot slouching on her way home. "How was it?" asked Mom. "Fine" answered Aly. "Any new friends?" Mom asked. "Kind of" answered Aly. "Well your first day of ballet class is today so get prepared."

Aly had forgot about ballet. She wondered how Monroe people would think of this. Ballet was Aly's main after school activity. This year she was going three time a week. Plus, Stephanie would be there demanding complicated questions. No one's first day at middle school could have been more complex in Aly's opinion. And she definetly did not want to discuss this at the time.

The Intermediate class was being run by the same teacher as last year, so Aly felt prepared. (Well except the fact that she was going to get yelled at for not stretching all summer) Well except seeing Stephanie. She already had a place at the barre across a new girl. By what Aly could see, this girl was her age. Aly had been expecting Stephanie saving a spot on the right side of the barre, which was Aly's favorite side. But the girl had taken it. Instead Aly got behind Stephanie on the left.

"Alyssa Ramsey?" shouted Miss Crystal from the front of the room. "Here!" replied Aly. "No" said Miss Crystal. "I want you behind Amber on that barre" she said pointing. Aly followed her finger to the spot behind Amber. When Aly looked at Stephanie, Stephanie turned back to the girl. What's going on? thought Aly.

"Okay girls" said Miss Crystal. " We have one new student in our class so far. This is Nicole Baxter. Do you have anything to say, Nicole?" Nicole looked at the class. "I just want to thank Stephanie Williams for being the best BFF ever. By inviting me to this class I think our relationship will improve" Nicole turned and looked at Stephanie. Stephanie burst into applause which the class followed by doing the same. Miss Crystal made Aly's situation worse by talking more though. "Do you girls go to the same school?" "Yes!" said Nicole. "Withought St.Matthew's we would be nothing!" Miss Crystal glanced at Aly. "And you?...." she said. She remembered the ballet report she and Stephanie did in which they had mentioned they were BFF's and went to the same school. "I" said Aly, but was interupted by Stephanie. "I transferred" she said proudly. Aly tried catching her eye but she was ignoring her.

Aly was overcome by shock. She and Stephanie had been happy about still doing ballet together but now that they were finally around, Stephanie invited Nicole. As Miss Crystal went through the class, Aly spent her time lost in thought. Stephanie would've had to invite Nicole a while ago in order for her to be here now. Stephanie hadn't told her and that hurt. A lot.
