Chapter 3:

Bella POV:

It had been a couple of days since Jenna had tried to pull her little stunt to demotivate Bella out of the school. She had managed to keep up with her schoolwork and tried to get ahead with her ballet before they had their semesterly break. Bella had only been at this school for a month but after everything that had just happened, she felt she needed that break and decided to go home for the 2 weeks to meet up with her best friend.

Constantly Bella was trying but she couldn't seem to get the thought of what Jenna had said out of her head. That she didn't belong in this school, that she should go back. Bella was a very motivated individual. She had always been this way, it was something her mother taught her. To never let anyone else justify your emotions or to control the way you feel or think. Bella had gotten the privilege of being her own person and she couldn't allow someone like Jenna to alter what she feels in any way. But it was harder than this. Somehow that one part of Bella struck her and after she started feeling that way, her confidence reduced and that meant she put in less effort into her classwork for ballet. She was already doing incredibly well with her academics but that didn't matter to her. Ballet, ballet and ballet, that was all she had thought of coming into this school. It had a domino effect on her, she heard the words, felt hurt, her confidence reduced, she started putting in fewer efforts to her classwork, her teachers would tell her off more often and correct her and that just demotivated her even further. She needed some motivation. Or she just needed Jenna to back off.

School couldn't have been over any faster. The second that last bell rang, Bella had said her bye's to Judas who was going to meet his family as well, picked up her bag from her room and gone outside where her parents were waiting for her. "te he echado de menos mi Felicidad" (I've missed you my happiness) Bella's dad greeted her in Spanish. "Hey dad, mum" she spoke back. "It's so good to finally see you, baby, we need all the details on the school and everything, let's get you home," Her mum said giving her a big hug which she had missed and started making her feel emotional. They got home and Bella went to her room which looked the same way as she had left it, the difference was that it was much cleaner, and her mum had decorated it with welcome home balloons and decorations everywhere. She had never realised how much she missed this place.

"So how's school been, made any new friends yet? Bella's mum asked at dinner. "Yea I have a couple of friends, but I'm close with this boy named Judas, he's been showing me around and helping me out" she replied. "That's nice, oh I almost forgot, please go see Nena tomorrow, she practically threw a tantrum when I told her she couldn't meet you today because it was gonna be with the family" Bella's mum stated with a fed-up look on her face. "hahaha, classic Nena, of course, I am going to go see her," Bella said, then they continued with dinner. She then took a shower and went into her bed. One thing was for sure, was that if she could take her own bed with her, the UBA would have been heaven, she hadn't slept a better night ever.

The next day was the day she would finally meet Nena. She had expected that she would meet her at her house and they would then go out somewhere from there. She didn't think she would wake up by Nena jumping on her screaming at her and eventually pushing her off of her own bed. Arguments later she got up reluctantly and punched her before giving her a really tight hug. "I missed you," Bella said, "please, it's only been one term, wait till you don't see me for another'' Nena replied. Nena was the type of friend who would deny being emotional and put on a tough act but Bella knew she loved her. "Now I want all the tea, about everything," She said. They were sitting on her bed for ages before they finally decided to get up and go out somewhere so that they could talk. Making their way out and to a park where they found some seats, Bella asked "Where do you want me to start?", "at the very beginning", Nena replied. "Well there's this girl Jenna…", and just like that, the 2 of them got carried away talking about Jenna and soon Judas and how he had been a good friend to her and helped her stand up against the bully who for some reason hated her and wanted her out, they talked about everything, the exam, how Jenna tried to change Bella's mark and soon she even let out how she had let Jenna get to her and let her feel demotivated. "Bella, can I please start off by saying that I am already obsessed with this Judas character as a part of your fairytale, I need to meet him, secondly Bells, how could you let someone like that get to you?, you know your worth, everyone knows how good you are and how much dance talent you have, the only reason she would try to get you out is because she would know that you are better than her and that she has actual competition, changing your marks?, I'm surprised you couldn't see that as jealousy, you need to take the perfect revenge on her which would just be to beat her, it's exactly what she doesn't want you to do, she wants to kick you out, you stay, she wants you to fail so you win Bells'' Nena lectured her friend. This was exactly something that she had needed to hear, to get back on track. She needed that motivation. The girls spent the next week hanging around in their hometown, shopping, walking, talking and she met up with some of her other friends before heading back home to prepare to go back to her school.

There were 3 days of the holidays left but Bella figured it would be better that she went back a bit earlier so she could start practising for the new semester earlier and also because Judas had said he was back yesterday. She walked into school this time with a new sense of attitude, that she was here to dance and not to give in to a bully like Jenna. She opened her dorm room door, started to walk in before she let out a quick gasp and fell to the floor, her bags falling everywhere and her books scattered across the floor. "Ow, ow ow ow" Bella gasped, clutching her leg, looking down at it and seeing it swollen and there was water all across the floor. "OW", it got worse.
