RJ: what goes around comes around

Chapter 17- the audditons pt 2

EJS POV:

Ricky and I  had a second where we just looked at each other. No dialogue, just a blank stare.
Everyone was staring right at us, including Miss Jenn, and I really did not know what to do. Nini was 2 lines behind me, and I really wish I had her support.

It was at this moment I realized I still loved Ricky. Despite what he did and everything we've been through, I realized I had missed him these past years.

"Ok, it's time to start the combo!!"

Carlos yelled, getting us both back on track which was much needed for the both of us. Before we started, I caught nini giving me a very hopeless stare. It's like she knew what I was thinking.

Wait, she definitely does.

Carlos goes through the choreography , which seems ok, though I can't think about anything else.

What if he still loves me? What do I tell nini? Do I still love her? Of course I still love nini, I tell myself.

Carlos puts us into small groups to perform the dance for judgement.

I was really glad to be on stage for the first time in a wile, because I truly believed it was where I belong.

"Up next we have EJ, Ricky and nini!"

Well... this was awkward. It's like that one modern love triangle with a bunch of Disney stars, but worse, because I was in the middle of it.

I walk to my place with ease trying to completely block out the other two exes beside me.
"Your gonna do great" nini whispers.
At least I had one thing figured out, me and nini are still good, and she wasn't mad at me?

5,6,7,8!

That was the best I've ever done. I'm getting Troy. There's literally no question.

Rickys POV:
I'm not sure what's happened today.
I was going to try out for the musical, and I had a great plan. I watched a lot of online dance  and singing videos getting ready.

I even prepared an original, written by nini herself.
What I didn't realize, is how seeing EJ again after so long would affect me.

I didn't realize it would get me embarrassed in front of everyone and stared at.

I didn't realize it would get me not focusing on my true plan, which was to get nini back.

I didn't realize it would make me this nervous to just stand next to him.

I didn't realize I was in a love triangle.

I'm having a crisis, and the last thing I can think about is getting into this show and playing Troy.

But I'm here for nini right?

I love nini right?

"It is time for the singing section  of the auditions! Ricky, your up first!"
