Smirking, she slowly slipped her feet out her shoes and watched the girl look in slight fear as she went to get a drink.

When Noah and West walked away, they were carrying Orla's shoes with them, but not Orla.

West even almost tripped.

And because Orla started laughing when he did, and because Ella was still hidden, he thought the other girl was the master of the prank.

"Orla!" He laughed. "Have to admit, you got me this time!"

Orla grinned, taking full responsibility for the prank and watching Ella's glare from the office in glee.

Her expression was clear.

Nice try.

But you can't kid a kidder.

But, of course, her excitement about beating the girl came to a head about an hour later, when she was called into the office.

She arrived slightly early to see Ella charming Kate. "You wanted to see me, Miss Kate?"

"Ah, Orla, yes," Kate smiled. "You remember Ella, right?"

"Ella," the girl said, holding out a hand.

"Yeah, she just said that," Orla said, slightly affronted, as they shook hands.

"Well, I think we should have someone to show her the ropes of the studio, and who better than the dance captain?" Kate smiled.

Orla tried to keep her worried and mildly annoyed expression off her face. "Oh, okay."

"Grrrrreat."

Hidalgo's was the first stop on the makeshift tour, so naturally, Orla wanted a juice.

However, when at the counter, she turned round to see Ella watching from afar, a smirk on her face.

Oh, don't tell me she's pulling another-

But she was, as when Max, whom the prank was aimed for, decided he wanted some milk and tried to pour it, all of it got dumped in his coffee.

"Gotcha!" Ella said, making him jump, before bounding over to Orla, a smirk on her face.

"Well, I see we're not all as smart as you here," she said, eyes sparkling with malice.

Orla shrugged. "I grew up with a boy who was intent on pulling pranks on everyone. So I just became very good at spotting the signs."

She, of course, was talking about James.

"Well, I will get you," said Ella. "Someday."

Orla shrugged, smirking. "Five bucks says you won't."

"Ten says I will," Ella extended her hand.

Orla smiled slightly, kinda glad to be being a bit more friendly with this girl.

Then she shook her hand.
