Chapter 2:

A week had gone by at her new school, things were better considering that she had a friend but they were getting stressful. Since Bella had missed a month at this school, she was very behind on all of the work but especially the practical exam components. Being at a Ballet school such as the UBA meant that they had exams every 2-3 months meaning that the next ones were just around the corner. These were mini exams and she would get tested on her form and technique to add up to her yearly grades. Being a month behind meant that she had more work on her hands and less time to relax. After finishing up with class by 4:30, she would come to her room and practise her routines for hours straight, she got an hour in the morning and sat on the floor to do her homework meaning she got in a good stretch. This routine took place for the next couple of weeks, she also had Judas who helped her catch up on the work she had missed before she came to the school, and they prepared together for the exams. Nothing helped the fact that she was nervous for the tests, wanting to prove herself to her teachers and help them realise that they had made the correct decision to bring her in here.

"Next Please". The voice of the examiner was strong and stern with no hint of lenience. She walked into the room trying to keep her legs from shaking and keeping her body upright. The room was long with a barre at the back and a mirror right behind the examiner's table. There were 3 of them, 1 female, 2 men. "Bella Rouge, please show us routine 1" Bella danced with a feeling of control that she couldn't seem to shake off of her. She could feel that she wasn't dancing for herself, but for the examiners. Her dance teacher from when she was 6 had always told her not to do this, it would get her nowhere. The exam was over before she knew it and she walked out of the room panting and taking her hair out of her bun. A couple of conversations with Judas later gave her the knowledge that they would get their results by tonight. They relaxed, stretched together and lay in bed talking and playing cards until 2 large envelopes flew in through the mailbox flap on Judas's door. They ran to get them and Judas ripped his open. "A, A, B, C, B, C, Wow, I'm actually really happy with this, tell me why I expected myself to fail….Bella? How did you go?!" Judas exclaimed excitedly, pausing because Bella was still looking at her report with a glum look, scanning it up and down with her eyes. "I think I failed? C, D, D, C, C, D, wait how is this possible, it says that I got 0.5/10 for my technique when all of the examiners definitely said that my technique was outstanding at the end of my exam" Bella said. Judas took her report to look at it and his expression constantly changed. "Ok Bella, I credit Jenna for being really immature to a point of stupidity but she didn't even try to hide this, look at the comments," Judas said. Bella took back her report to read the comment section looking very confused. Miss Rouge has demonstrated a very poor lack of communication skills through her performances, we personally believe that she should go back to her older school where she might benefit more and be able to dance better in a lower level studio than the UBA". "Wow, wait how would Jenna be able to get into their system though?". "That doesn't matter, what matters is the look on her face when we show this to the teachers and ask for rectification.

It turned out that Judas's suspicions were right and Jenna had managed to get into the examiner's systems and change up all of Bella's marks. They didn't figure out how she had managed to do this but as Judas had said, it didn't matter and the look on Jenna's face when the teachers confronted her was unbelievable. When they found out about this, they gave Bella a new report with her actual good marks on it and they failed Jenna as well as put her on 2-week detention.

"A, A, B, B, A, B" Bella said with a smile to Judas when they were back in their room together, "yesss, that's more like it, I'm proud of you smarty pants" Judas smiled and punched her shoulder

Jenna POV:

"Justin there is no way I am going to let 2 people destroy my career, this is all because of that skank Bella, I want nothing more than for her to get out of this school" Jenna rambled to her boyfriend whilst frantically walking around their room. "Jens, tell me what you want me to do, I'll do it" "We need to take Bella down, I don't know how we will do it, but she needs to get out of this school, she and Judas are both ruining my career, we need to mess with her, to a point where she wants to get out or injure her somehow, I don't know" "Fine, we will do it, whatever makes you happy" James agreed standing up to face her. Right there at that time was when the first plan began, there was a girl trying to make the most of a career, a friend trying to help, a mean girl jealous of her, and a boyfriend wanting to make his girl happy. Taking down an innocent person because she was better than you was exactly what Jenna believed in even if she didn't believe in the fact that Bella was better than Jenna.
