Eleanor sighs as she takes her end pose after the dance warming up, getting complimented from Carlos as she finishes.

She walks towards her bag and sits down, grabbing her water bottle before unlocking her phone. Ricky hasn't read any of her texts yet, and she is worried he won't show up.  He was supposed to bo here already.

The girl takes a sip of her water as she sends another text.

"What's wrong?" Seb asks, sitting down next to her.

"Ricky promised he'll audition but he isn't here yet." She sighs, leaning her head onto his shoulder. "He isn't answering my texts either."

"I'm sure he'll show up." Seb telld her.

"I hope so." She mutters. "I never actually tried out for a lead, but I thought with Ricky here I might be able to do it. I'm not sure I can if he is not here." She admits.

"You are an amazing singer, El. I'm sure you can do it without him here. He's not the one who'd give you your confidence, you are."

"That's sweet, but no. When Ricky is with me everything feels so much... easier."

"Well then try to have him closer to you without him being here." Seb Suggests.

"What do you mean?" She furrows her eyebrows, turning to Seb.

"You wrote a song about him, didn't you?" Seb gives her a look.

"Uh yeah?"

"Sing that. Pretend you're singing it for him. You can play the piano, I'll gladly step away for you."

She bites her lip, thinking about it. "Okay, I'll do it."

And so 30 minute she walks up the stage, still no Ricky there.

"What do we know about her?" Miss Jenn leans towards Carlos.

"Eleanor Hart. Amazing dancer, She has a beautifull voice although she isn't that confident while singing. She played mostly background characters in ghe last few musicals."
