(outfit above without the glasses is what she wears in this chapter + the next one)
Today Ophelia decided on wearing something a little fancy since she wanted to look nice for auditions. She went with curly hair today, and simple makeup. She wore a white long sleeve underneath a black and green jacket, black jeans with holes, and white boots that had two-inch heel. At lunch the next day at school Ophelia sat next to Ricky and there was an empty place between her and Gina. Fallon and Luca would've sat with them, but Fallon wanted to sit with her dancer friends and Luca wanted to sit with the dancers as well since he had become friends with most of them over the time of being in the drama club.
Carlos had just told everyone that he was trying out for the musical this year and Big Red added that he was too. Well, it was more so Ashlyn being the one saying Big Red is trying out. Ophelia had to admit she was surprised about that since Big Red never wanted to try out for any musical in the first place. Ashlyn told Big Red that he couldn't get the role of Chip since she was determined that she would get the role of Mrs. Potts. Kourtney had even chimed in, saying she was trying out for a role in the play as well.
"Oh!" Fallon's excited voice is heard as she quickly runs over to stand behind Ophelia, putting her hands on Ophelia's shoulders. She smiles excitedly at the drama club members. "Ophelia's trying out too!"
The drama club cheers for her, all looking at her with surprise. Ophelia nervously smiles. "Yeah, I'm trying out."
"Lia," Ricky playfully elbows her to get her attention, looking at her with a smile when she glances at him. "Why didn't you tell me you're trying out? That's great!"
"I guess I wanted Fallon to tell you." Ophelia glances at Fallon with a small glare and fakes a smile. "Thanks, Fallon." Ophelia wasn't planning on telling everyone right away. She was still nervous about it, and she was planning on just telling Ricky and then just show up to auditions. She didn't want it to be a big deal with her auditioning.
Fallon looks at her with a sweet smile and pats her shoulder, not fazed by the fact that Ophelia was upset with her. "No problem!"
Ricky chuckles and shakes his head. "I'm proud of you for wanting to try out." Ophelia looks at him with a soft smile, happy to hear him say that. "I never thought you would be trying out for a part in a play."
"Yeah," Ophelia agrees. "Me neither. But thanks, that means a lot to me."
"You're welcome." A voice said to Ricky and Ophelia and Ricky exchanged a confused glance before they looked behind them to see EJ standing there.
"Huh?" Ricky said, looking at him with confusion.
"Uh, I've decided to take myself out of the running of the Beast." EJ explains. Everyone looks at him with surprise. "I'm just...I've got a lost on my plate." He snaps his fingers and gets his phone out of his pocket. "Which reminds me, I should probably pick a meal plan for Duke."
