27 ~ school play

It was the opening day for the school play and Cassie was playing the lead character. 

As expected, Harley was assigned to cover the school play and Harley had to admit to himself, he would be quite biased since his best friend is the lead of the play.

When Elizabeth overheard Harley and Cassie talking about the play, she decided to buy tickets to watch and support Cassie.

"Oh my god," Cassie said, panicking backstage. 

There was one more hour until the play starts.

"Oh my god," she repeated. "I can't believe it's opening day. So many people are out there."

"Cassie, you'll be fine," Harley assured her. "You'll do great."

"Let me rephrase, your mom and James are going to be an audience," Cassie said.

"Yeah, so?" Harley shrugged.

"You parents are actors," Cassie reminded her. "High profile actors, might I add. They'll be sitting there and... watching... me."

"Cassie, relax," Harley said, placing his hands on her shoulders and gently pushing her down to sit down. "They've seen you perform before. They thing you're great."

"They do?" Cassie said.

"Yeah," Harley said, "they do, Cassie."

"Oh," she said, still in a state of shock and anxiety.

Cassie had played in the school play before, but it wasn't the lead role like this one. She had a great role in the last play, but this place she's in now is resting on her shoulders.

"You'll do great," Harley promised.

Maya and Farkle entered the dressing room.

Harley turned around and Cassie looked at the door.

"Hey," Harley greeted the two.

"Hey," Farkle said.

"What are you two doing backstage?" Cassie asked.

"I'm kinda wondering that myself," Harley admitted. "I don't you two are allowed back here."

"You are," Maya pointed out.

"Yeah, because I'm taking pictures of the cast backstage before they go on," Harley said.

"Then where's your camera?" Farkle asked, tilting his head.

"Right here," Harley reached over to Cassie's table and picked up his camera.

"Oh," Farkle said.

"We just came back stage to wish Cassie luck, that's all," Maya shrugged.

"Yeah," Farkle nodded in agreement. "Good luck, Cassie!"

Farkle gave Cassie a smile.

"Good luck."

"Thanks," she said, anxiously.

"Oh, and your family are in the audience," Farkle informed Cassie. "So are your family," Farkle added to Harley.

Harley smiled and nodded.

"Oh, great," Cassie smiled, calming down at the mention of her family.

Maya and Farkle wished Cassie luck again and walked back to the audience and joined the rest of the group.

Harley took pictures of the cast and them preparing for the play before it was time for the play to start.

Harley had a chair by the stage. He managed to take many great pictures of the performance.
