VI. we have trust or we have nothing
Marlowe's singing was a comfort to everyone. Even when she thought she was being quiet, her crystal clear vocals pierced through everybody's ears. She was in her own world when she sang. Her voice was beautiful. EJ listened to her singing in the corner of the room with her script in hand. "Sounds really good."Marlow jumped and pressed her hand to her chest. "EJ, you gotta stop doing that."
He chuckled under his breath. "Sorry. . . So, uh, I saw that you followed me back on Instagram."
She nodded. "I did."
"Let me guess. You couldn't resist me?"
Marlowe scoffed. "Oh yeah, cause I spend all my time wondering if EJ Caswell is going to notice that I follow him on Instagram."
"Is that such a bad thing?" He teased.
"I have better things to do with my life than worry about what you're doing, Caswell." She stated unconsciously and walked away to stand with Luca.
Ouch. EJ's smirk dropped at that.
Miss Jenn announced for them all to gather around her. She stood in the middle of the theater kids holding a small box. She opened the package and pulled out the object wrapped in bubble wrap.
"Ooh, can I have this?" Luca quickly asked and took a thing of bubble wrap from thr box, his ADHD kicking in.
Knock laughed as he started playing with the bubble wrap, now completely uninterested in anything else.
Miss Jenn unraveled the bubble wrap and revealed a small phone. 0Here it is people," she announced.
"Is that a garage door opener?" Asked Seb.
Closing her eyes, Marlowe put her hands on his shoulders. "No, honey."
"No Seb. This is Gabriella's phone. From the film," Miss Jenn informed and everybody gasped. "I plan on creating a time capsule display in our lobby. If they can have 40 sports ball trophies, we deserve to have a little movie museum."
"I couldn't agree more." Marlowe declared and looked between Knox and EJ, receiving the same mocking glare from them.
"Okay, people, enough dazzle. Fetch your scripts, please!"
She held the script tightly in her hands and swayed side to side while everyone collected theirs. From across the room, she saw EJ standing at the table where everyone put their bags. He looked over his shoulder and caught her eye, mouthing the words thank you, and now she was confused because she didn't do anything.
When Gina went over and started talking to him, Marlowe quickly looked away. "Places for the top of the ski lodge!" Miss Jenn announced.
