"Lexi, you're a fucking G!" Maddy shouted over the loud cheering voices in the crowd.
Lulu was up on her feet, clapping feverishly and an immense grin on her lips. She recalled the endless hours working on this one scene with Lexi, Bobbi and Ethan —who had her shrieking in excitement whenever he was on stage, she recalled how impressed she was by Lexi's visions and expectations behind every single scene, every single dialogue, every single costume, every single song.
"Lexi Howard, you're a genius!" Lulu screamed with her heart pounding in her chest in front of such a brilliant play.
She sat down and the whole scenery changed, displaying moving mirrors where Hallie, Marta and Mona were staring at their reflections. Lulu's eager giggles were cut short when Cassie walked inside the auditorium, making her way toward the stage, clapping slowly. Lulu gasped, "Oh hell no."
Cassie was still clapping, "Lexi, you really outdid yourself," and she let out an irritated laugh, "I mean, where did she find these knockoffs."
The entire crowd could be heard gasping, "I had no idea that my sister had this in her. Good job, right? Isn't she brave? She's up here, unpacking all of her trauma," her tone was snarky, "I had no idea how hard your life was Lexi. Could we give a round of applause for how hard Lexi's life is?"
Some people cheered and clapped but Lulu was growing more furious whenever Cassie said a word. She shot a look at Rue, "Imma destroy that bitch."
"Come on, guys," Cassie continued, "I know they hack the heads off of women in Afghanistan or wherever."
"That's racist!"
"God, it is nothing compared to living in my shadow," she huffed.
"Yo! Is this like part of the play?"
Cassie looked around, pretending to think, "I don't know... Lexi?" she started walking towards the curtains, "Is this part of the play? Lexi? This is your show, come out!" and Lexi was dragged onto the stage, "You're the big star of the day! You're the star of the night. She's always wanted to be the star..."
Lulu looked over to see Maddy grimacing and Lulu copied her actions, knowing how badly Cassie needed to be put back into place.
"This is your big moment! Shine!" Cassie said, "I should stop? Me? I'm not the one putting on a play to humiliate and embarrass you! Oh, really?! Then, what is this?"
Lulu cringed, "That bitch doesn't need a fucking play to embarrass herself," but opened her eyes wide when Suze popped up on stage.
"Hi everyone, I'm Suze, I'm the girls' mom in real life," she said, "Uhm, played by Ethan! Where is he? Ethan?" And Ethan made its way on stage, wearing his robe, "Who, by the way, he's gonna win an award!" Suze grabbed Cassie, "Honey, let's go home."
