"Yeah, the talent show."











     POOFING into the gym at her old high school was definitely not what Jess wanted to do today. She hated that gym with a passion; it's where nerds like her go to die. But she does it for Justin, despite the fact that he isn't even performing. She just makes sure not to look at the large, disgusting mural on the back wall.

     She plops down next to him only to find him standing beside the bleachers instead of sitting in them. "Hey," she says, but he doesn't really respond. His eyes stay locked on the performance in front of them. "Yo, earth to Justin?"

     "That's really good choreo," he comments, tilting his head to the side as Carrie and her band dance.

See 'em look
Hear 'em "ohh aah"
Hands up, throw back, boo yah
We're the best, no doubt
Check it out, yeah, we make 'em say "wow"

Make moves
On the rise now
Run stuff, get a piece of that pie now
We're the best, no doubt
Check it out, yeah, we make 'em say "wow"

     Jess narrows her eyes at Justin. "You choreograph it?"

     He lazily twists his head to look down at her. "How'd you know? Was it the amazing moves or just a guess?"

     "I saw your search history," she replies.

     "You don't know how to work my laptop."

     Sucking in her cheek, Jess rolls her eyes. "Fine. I opened it up to find videos of Katy Perry all over. Not my style, but it's an objectively good dance. The song's also rad."

     "Low key a bop." Justin suddenly straightens his back as he looks towards the entrance. "Look who finally joined us."

     Flynn and Julie make their way into the gym, both staring at Carrie's band. "Look who spent all her daddy's money on costumes and Katy Perry's choreographer."

     Justin clicks his tongue and places a hand over his heart. "I don't know if I should be offended or honored. She didn't pay me anything for those dance moves." He starts to follow the dance with a slanted grin which only makes Flynn blush in embarrassment while Julie subtly waves at Jess.

Yeah, we're going sky-high and we never gonna settle
Living in the fast lane, pedal to the metal
We see it, we want it
We get it, we got it
Everybody lose control

We came to play, where you at
We're going hard
Just like that, yeah
We're the bomb, chain react
Blow their minds and watch them ahh
