Part 4- rehersals

Jasmines POV
Today is our first day of rehearsal, it was going to be a long day but we started off slow. Everyone arrived about 30 minutes early so we could get to know each other a little before we actually started whatever awkward ice breakers we were going to do.

I spotted two other girls, "uh hello, I'm Jasmine" I approached them

"Hi" one of them squeaked with a big smile on her face, "I'm Phillipa Soo. Pippa, please call me Pippa, you must be our last schuyler sister. I play Eliza" I nodded and she hugged me.

Wow, I was kinda nervous for this but she seems so including.

"Ah, I'm Renee, I'm playing Angelica so you must be Peggy" she hugs me too.

"That's me, Peggy. I'll also play Maria Reynolds"

"Oo that's right, but you're still my sister Jasmine. Jazzy, can I call you that?" Pippa asks

"Of course, Jasmine, Jazzy, Jas. I don't really care" I say.

I scan the room to see if I know anyone else here but they all look like strangers until I spot a familiar head of curly hair. It looks like he's doing the same thing as me cause he's looking around till he spots me and we make eye contact for a second till I look away.

"Ugh!" I say after I see him.

"Did I say something wrong" Pippa sounded nervous.

"Oh no, I'm sorry I wasn't even listening to you" I tell her, "he's here" I roll my eyes and point towards Anthony who's still looking in our direction.

"And who's that?" Renee asks

"Just some annoying guy who lives in the same apartment building as me"

"Miss me Cephas?" he yells from where he's standing on the stage with a few other people.

Some people are on the stage while others are standing down by the audience. I was standing by the audience with Renee and Pippa, they were leaning on the stage and I was in front of them, looking up on the stage.

I roll my eyes, "in your dreams freckle boy" I say.

"Freckle boy?" Renee says and Pippa grins at me.

"Shut up" I tell them sarcastically.

"I'll be right back" I hop up on the stage and walk towards him before he can come bother Pippa and Renee.

"didn't expect to see you here Ramos" I lean on to him on my tiptoes so I could see over his shoulder to look at the other people he's talking with.

He turns around, leaving me standing right behind him. His hair just barely misses my face as he turns. He's turned to face me, our faces close since I was standing right behind him.

"Could say the same thing about you Cephas" I could feel his breath on me. I hold my breath, I felt powerless with him standing this close to me.

"Woah back up buddy" I take a step back before joining their little circle, "so freckle boy, who are your friends?" I ask him.

"Freckle boy? You said you hated it when people called you that" one of them chuckles, the one with the floofy hair.

"You never told me that" I grin at him.

"Because he likes you" the other guy says in a sing song voice towards Anthony

The thought of him liking me kinda surprised me but I didn't hate the thought. I mean- what, I hate him.

"No that's not- anyways, that's oak" he points towards the guy who just spoke, "and that's Daveed" he points at the guy with the Floofy hair, changing the subject.

"Well Daveed and Oak, I'm Jasmine" I introduced myself, ignoring what Oak said.

"Yes you do, Jasmine. She's the girl you've been talking about. What was it that you call her again?" Oak tried to remember. I really wanted to know, he's talked about me to other people.

"Uhh nothing" Anthony nudged Oaks shoulder trying to get him to stop.

"No I wanna hear what he's got to say" I put my finger by his lips to shush him.

Anthony opens his mouth to what I think he's trying to do is bite my finger, "what the heck are you doing" I pull my finger away

"You weren't moving" he reply's

"We'll that was weird don't do it again" I tell him.

He smirked at me, "then don't put your finger so close to my lips again"

"Oh boohoo, your just upset that's the closet your lips will ever get to me" I chuckle.

"Guys stop flirting, I'm trying to remember" Oak said.

"We're not-" we both said at the same time.

"Aww, already speaking for each other" he coo'd, Anthony glared at him.

"Oh wait I know what it was, you called her the pretty-" Daveed started.

"No need to finish that" Anthony interrupted him

"Aww freckle boy thinks I'm pretty" I sarcastically gushed over him.

"No I don't" he pouted.

"Let me finish" Daveed said, "he called you the pretty-"

"You really don't need to finish that" Anthony interrupted him AGAIN.

"Let him finish" I say to him

"He called you the pretty girl from the roof, the one with an amazing voice" he finally said.

"You think I'm pretty" I tease him. "Also, amazing voice? You've never even heard me sing" I say confused.

"I have-" he starts saying

"He said you have the voice of a-" Daveed tries to say but this time it's me who interrupts him, "when have you heard me sing?" I ask him

"One day, I went up to the roof and you were singing quietly to yourself and I just let you be" I told her

"You what?!" I say embarrassed

"Stop interrupting me!" Daveed says, "he says you sound like an angle even when you're just speaking, I personally don't hear it"

"Yeah neither do I" Oak agrees

Daveed pats Anthony's shoulder, "it's a symptom of love, Freckle boy" he grins on the last part.

"It's not-" Anthony try's to protest

"I think I'm gonna go now" I say before waking off and joining Renee and Pippa again who were joined by two other girls.
