You let out a groan as you rolled over in bed, the sound of your alarm waking you from your light sleep." Shut that off!" Mindy yelled from her room making you crack a smile. You turned your alarm off before sitting up and stretching, your body ached everywhere, probably from the yoga you did with Chelsie the night before. She had been getting into that lately, maybe because she wanted to be thinner now that she was practically dating Chris, even though they hadn't even gone out yet they talked enough to put them under that label.

You pulled your covers back and stepped out onto the hard wood floor and made your way to your bathroom to shower. While you were washing your hair and face you remembered that you had your first actual play practice today, you groaned again. That only meant you had to spend a whole day with Sebastian where you couldn't show any affection and or do anything with him, he was just your teacher today, as much as it pained you.

"You're gonna use all the hot water! Hurry up!" "It's like I'm living with my siblings again!" You yelled back at Mindy who had finally decided to wake up early for once.

You rushed to eat breakfast knowing if you were late on the first day it wouldn't set a good impression on your dedication to your roll." Chelsie!" You yelled as you walked from the kitchen to the living room." Do you know where my script is!" "I don't have it. Have you checked in your book bag?" You quickly made your way back to your room where you found sushi curled up on your book bag, arms stretched out as she laid on her back." Oh good lord." You picked her up and set her down on your bed before grabbing your bag and running out of the door.

"Alright!" Sebastian said as he clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention." We're starting with blocking today, I assume you know and or at least have read your lines and almost have them memorized, that will make my job and everyone else's easier." You ran into the room and stopped quickly once you saw everyone standing around the stage, Sebastian turning to look at you with an obvious happy look but one that seemed a little mad." Sorry I'm late." You whispered as you walked past him and set your things down." I expect you too not be late again, it's not fair to everyone else." You nodded and looked at the floor. You knew he wasn't really mad at you, unless he was which just made your day worse.

"Since you weren't here, I said we will be starting on blocking, your costars can fill you in on what scenes you'll be doing." You nodded again and finally looked up at him, but he had already moved on from you." Let's get to it." You all made your way backstage and found your partners for the scenes." Y/N, hey." You looked up and smiled once you saw Jeremy, the understudy for the roll of the Phantom." Hey, I didn't see Landon anywhere is he gonna make it?" He shook his head and sighed." No, he said he was too caught up on work to make it, I told Mr. Stan, and he said I might just end up getting the roll because Landon hasn't been too eager for the roll." You nodded and looked away from him to your script.

You frowned a little at what Jeremy had said. Was Sebastian purposely pulling Landon out of the play just because of his suspicious behavior recently? Or was he actually not showing up for anything, you hadn't seen him in class for a few weeks so maybe he was moving on with something else and you were just overthinking it all, but you really hoped Sebastian didn't have anything to do with it.

You were called to the stage with Charlie, the man who was playing the role as Raoul, along with the actress for Meg and all the dancers. You started with the simple blocking for the opening scenes, just all of you doing a simple dance around the stage then falling into a pose at the end. Simple enough for you to get down quickly." Alright let's take a break." Sebastian said making everyone sign and leave the stage panting from the repeated practice of the moves." I'm going to go get some water." You told Charlie and Josie who were your main costars that scene.
