Presley waits outside a large brick building. Soon, a group of people leave the side entrance.
"Cleo." Presley calls out successfully getting the attention of the raven haired girl.
"Do you need something?" She asks, dismissively.
"Yes." Presley walks closer to her. "You need to talk to Jude."
"Why would I do that? Jude's made it clear she wants nothing to do with me?" Cleo crosses her arms.
"If you care about her you will. She's been doing awful in rehearsals lately, she's distracted. Rebecca's patient, but if it keeps happening she'll replace her. You can help her."
"Why would I? She's the competition. If the next step is at a disadvantage that's a good thing for me and it's not my problem."
"It's not, but you care about Jude. I know you're competitive Cleo, but would seeing her fail really make you feel good?" Presley asks.
-Presley's Talking Head-
"I don't really care much about Cleo and Jude's relationship drama but it's affecting the team now and replacing Jude this late could cost us nationals. I'll never forgive Cleo if she lets this happen."
-End Of Talking Head-
"She doesn't even pick up my calls. How will I talk to her?" Cleo sighs.
Presley holds out her phone. "She'll pick up."
Cleo takes it and finds Jude's contact.
"Hello." Jude is sat on her bed doing homework.
"Hi Jude. It's Cleo please don't hang up," Cleo says, quickly.
"What is it?" Jude asks, sighing.
"Listen I'm sorry I upset you. I'm not sorry I left, but I didn't want it to be like that. I shouldn't have done what I did to Winnie."
"You mean that? You wouldn't do it again?" Jude asks, pushing her homework aside.
"Never. Not with what happened between us."
"So you only feel bad about the consequences?"
"No. Of course not. I just did what I thought was best. Acronation had good opportunities for me and you guys don't need me anymore."
"Is that all you called about?"
"Yes. Can we please be on good terms? I'm not asking you to forgive me, but you need to let this go. Not for me but for you. Your focus should be on other things."
"Fine, but don't take this as we're getting back together. Cause we aren't."
"No. I wouldn't," Cleo says quickly.
"I should getting going now," Jude sighs.
"Okay. Bye Jude."
"Bye."
Cleo smiles, handing the phone back to Presley.
