Ben puts in his plate in the plate with a sad look on his face
' I'm guessing you trying to talk to Gabriella don't go well?' Will asked
Ben sat down in disappointment
' no it didn't she still mad'
' I mean I would if I was Her if I had a relationship and they didn't say I love you back and deicide to go on a 'break'. I would. Hate you'

Ben gave him a look
' thanks will such a great example but that doesn't help' Ben crosses his arms
' look dude if you want her back you need to prove that win her you know what she likes what she hates win her back'.

'But that's the problem I don't know how she already with a new person I can't even date anyone else because all I do is think about her'.

That's his first love even if he didn't say I love you he loves me I just don't know that

' well there is a musical coming up she's retiring the songs for it maybe get into that get close boom you don't have to be sad ,listening to Billie Ellish on repeat and eating ice cream all da-

Ben cuts him off before he can go any further. Ben has a plan now that musical he can't use that for his advantage he's getting his girl because Brandon not keeping her

' oh another thing who's that know girl everyone looking at?' Ben asked pointing but trying not to

'I don't know I don't everything' will says and eats his skittles

Meanwhile I walked into the cafeteria noticing everyone around this girl
I sat next to Yasmin
'Yasmin who the he'll is that?' Id asked Shes sees what I'm talking about before answering

' that's Jade she's just. Moved here her dad is the owner of that new boba shop downtown' she says
'Oh the one me and Brandon going too' Yasmin nods her head

' she's pretty hopefully she's not an asshole '. Yasmin said then eats her bag of chips

' but always you ready for the musical?'
' yeah I already wrote one song for it I have 6 more to go but I get through it'

'I'm excited this year I hope I get the lead tired of being a sty iPod ass extra'.

'You'll get it you're talented and they'll be stupid to not to you'. She smiles
'Thanks bestie hopefully will is in the tech team'
'You only want him to be there because you have a crush'. Her eyes widen trying to deny it but I known this girl forget she's has a crush she been holding back because me and Ben and will is friend but I don't care she needs a boyfriend she's like a cat she needs love

' I do but I can't make a love look at him '.

'I guess'. we continued talking

But while we're talking I see Ben again across the room talking to will even if I hate Ben I still can't deny how perfect he is his hair I miss his hair but I can't think it about o have a boyfriend and song to write not a boy

In the hallway I bumped into jade
'Holy shit I'm sorry' I said she's wipes her clothes
' you better be almost damaged my books' she says

I got a feeling I'm not going to like I know or to judge the book by it's cover but her vibe sis off by a lot
'I said sorry chill' I said trying to sense of her vibe her says it all Brandon-came

'Hey Jade , hey gabs' he said
'You know jade?' If asked
'Yeah we go way back our parents were friends in college' Brandon said jade nods her head

'Yup we go way back' she has this evil smile after that sentence
'That's so cool we'll I hope you like the school I have to get to the theatre for my meeting'

'Okay see bae'. They waved but I don't like her she's suspicious

Walking into the theater for the evening meeting about the musical, I was eager to immerse myself in the creative process and contribute to the production in any way I could. The auditorium was abuzz with chatter and excitement, and I found a seat near the front, ready to absorb all the details about the upcoming project.

As I settled into my seat and glanced around the room, my heart sank like a stone in my chest. There he was, sitting a few rows ahead, engaged in conversation with one of the crew members. Ben. My initial excitement wavered, replaced by a seething anger that I couldn't quite contain. What on earth was he doing here?

My mind raced to make sense of the situation, but I could feel the frustration building within me. Ben had always been so vocal about how much he despised musicals, often mocking them as a waste of time. And now, he had the audacity to show up to a meeting about a musical production?

I clenched my fists, my jaw tightening as I struggled to keep my emotions in check. I could feel Yasmin's concerned gaze on me, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from the scene playing out in front of me.

As the director began discussing the musical's concept, I tried to focus on the presentation. But every glance in Ben's direction intensified my irritation. Who did he think he was, attending a meeting for something he openly detested? I couldn't wrap my head around it, and my frustration only grew.

Yasmin leaned closer, her voice barely audible over the director's words. "Gabi, are you okay?"

I shot her a quick, frustrated look, my words sharp with irritation. "No, I'm not. Why is he even here?"

Yasmin's eyebrows shot up, and she exchanged a puzzled look with me. "I have no idea. Maybe he had a change of heart?"

I huffed in disbelief, unable to contain my anger any longer. "A change of heart? Seriously? He's never liked musicals, and now he's suddenly a fan? I can't believe this."

The meeting continued, but I could hardly pay attention. Ben's presence was a thorn in my side, a constant reminder of the confusion and hurt he had caused. As the meeting came to an end, I stood up abruptly, my notebook clenched tightly in my hand.

Yasmin reached out, her touch gentle. "Gabi, are you okay? You seem really upset."

I took a deep breath, trying to reign in my emotions. "I just don't understand, Yasmin. Why is he always showing up? It's like he's trying to mess with my head."

Yasmin nodded sympathetically. "I get it. But remember, we're here for the musical. Let's not let his presence ruin this for us."

She's right but I need answers right here right now
