The beginning of school also means that the clubs are also back on track. East High's Drama club is one of them and Miss Jenn, the drama club teacher is frantically rummaging through her office looking for something.

"Yes! Finally!" She said, pulling a rather old music sheet from a box underneath her drawers.
She looked at it with such of a glimmer in her eyes, reminiscing the times when she herself was in the drama club.

Her students (her kids is what she likes to call them), came in one by one, some in groups of two or three, she is very excited for she had put up a sign up sheet 2 days ago to see if there are other students who'd like to join in. When she got the sign up sheet back, she found that there was just one who signed up. She hopes that she'd come.

A good 10 mins into the club, there was a knock on the door.
A girl, 5'10 frame, with a big, bouncy and curly hair, she wore a jacket over her sports bra and leggings with linear pattern emphasizing her lithe figure and a black/white Puma shoes. She was trying to catch her breath.

"Hi! I'm sorry I'm late, I got lost." She said, exasperated.
"Hi my dear! Come on in, you must be the one who signed up, am I right?" Miss Jenn said excitedly.
"Yeah." She said.
"When you're ready, please introduce yourself. Thank you." Miss Jenn said, smiling at her with that nervous smile. She looked intimidated.

She then gathered herself together and stood up in front of everyone, Nini and Kourtney exchanged this look that the two of them only knew. Ricky, sat there with his mouth slightly open. Ej, looked surprised for he knew he met her already. Ashlyn's face lit up in excitement, while Big Red was busy doing other things. The other theater kids seem intimidated by her.

"Hi everyone! I'm Gina. Gina Porter. Junior tansfer student from Louisiana." Gina said, in her most confident voice

"Say hi to Gina everyone!" Miss Jenn added.

Everyone said their hi and hellos. Everybody settled down aftrr that brief introduction.

"Let's get down to business! First up, you all very well know that since this is the beginning of another school year, that means that it is also the beginning of a new musical! Since we did HSM last year, I thought..."

"We're doing HSM 2??!!!!" Carlos interjected.
"Oh my god that is my favorite!" Seb added in excitement.

"No." Said Miss Jenn as a matter of fact way. "But, I've searched through my old music sheets and found this masterpiece." She held up a music sheet that looks like it came from the depths of trunk.

"What is that?" Nini asked
"This, Nini is the music sheet for this years musical. Drum roll please..." Miss Jenn pointing to Kaden in which he imitated to drum roll

"The Phantom of the Opera!" Miss Jenn exclaimed
A collective gasp erupted in the room. And a lot of "ooohhhsss" and "what?"

"Isn't it too old for us?" Ashlyn asked.
"No. Of course not! Musical theater is something that is for all. And we will add our own twist to it. Something that will make it more modern." Miss Jenn told the class.

While everybody is busy about in their business, Gina has that excited look on her face. That determined look to bag the lead role and prove herself.
Ashlyn noticed that she was all alone in her head space and approached her.

"Hey." Ashlyn said as she approached Gina.
"Hi." Gina said. Looking a little shocked 'cause she isn't used to people approaching her because of how intimidating she was.

"I'm Ashlyn! Nice to meet you Gina!" Ashlyn told her sincerely.
"Hi. Nice to meet you too!" Gina replied.

The two of them seem to get along pretty well, a first for Gina. She usually doesn't make a lot of friends due to her mom's bature of work. She's had a hard time moving from place to place but she already got used to it that is why this interaction with Ashlyn is quite new to her.

A few hours had passed on the drama club and it is time to go home. Everybody bid goodbye to one another and went on their way.

It was quite a day.
