"hey, where is jet. the boys are backs is on in like
20 minutes." maddox said as she came backstage.

"i have no idea where he is." ricky said, as he went over to get his costume to put on.

"and des, next costume!"

desiree didn't know where jet went after he left, and she was worried.

he said they had a show to do, and now nobody can find him. why would he just-

oh.

desiree and jet had a small romantic scene soon, where chad and taylor were seeing just wanna be with you since troy and gabriella weren't at rehearsals.

which wasn't in the show, but ms. jenn decided to add it anyway.

desiree looked around the dressing room to make sure nobody was walking, and then she walked out, running around the school.

forget running, she was sprinting. she only had 20 minutes to get to jet, more like 10 since he still had to get ready.

it was raining outside, and honestly desiree wanted to check, but she passed by the large doors regardless.

that was until she walked back, seeing someone leaning on the ledge, a bag in hand.

desiree looked closer, and of course it was jet. he was back in his normal clothes.

she opened the door, running out and going to where jet was standing.

"jet, jet." desiree said running down the front stairs to where jet was.

he looked back, seeing desiree and turned back around.

"what are you doing out here..the boys are back starts in like." desiree checked her apple watch.

"13 minutes." she said.

"well i'm done. i'm not doing act 2, they'll just get an extra to play chad." he said. staring ahead.

"and-and it's raining. you're gonna get sick, i'm gonna get sick." desiree said.

"nobody told you to come out here." he sassed. desiree stared at jet in shock, no way he just did that.

"well, here i am. because i'm here to get you." desiree said, "i don't understand why you can't do act two."

jet sighed, "desiree, i'm chad, you're taylor. our characters are dating. it was hard enough acting like your boyfriend when i liked you and knew i would never get to have that, but it's gonna be even harder now that you've rejected me."

"i didn't mean to.."

"you obviously did! and you obviously meant it!" jet said, finally turning to face desiree.

"i swear i didn't, you just caught me really off guard." desiree said.

"what."

"come on, i'm not a straight forward person because straight forwardness is scary, unless i'm being rude."

"and you confessing your love to me, and then kissing me. and then saying it in front of everyone back stage. it was all too much for me, and i snapped!" desiree said, throwing her hands in the air.

"i didn't mean anything i said." desiree moved strands of wet hair from her face.

"you didn't?"

"no what, of course i like you. why wouldn't i, and to be honest, i love you too. like i've loved you since you help me with my howard application, which i got into thank you. but yeah, since then i've kind of known but i was scared to tell you ever." desiree said.

she reached her hands up, grabbing his face. "i love you jet, and again i'm sorry. i promise what i said to you was all out of anger."

jet looked at desiree, and then brought her hand down from his face.

"thanks for the closure but, i'm still leaving. and besides i know you don't like getting back with your ex's."

"how did you-"

"have fun."

jet turned away from desiree, and started to walk to the nearby bus stop.

desiree took out the necklace that was tucked into her shirt, looking at the j that was on it.

meanwhile, jet was fighting the urge to turn back. he could hear ricky's voice in his head, "she told you she loved you, and you walk away? you're acting like me."

"i guess i am." jet muttered. he decided to look back, seeing desiree look at her watch as she started to walk back inside east high.

he couldn't let her go, why did he? he didn't, and that was the truth.

so jet turned around, walking quickly towards desiree before she could get inside.

he dropped his bag on the stairs, grabbing desiree's right arm before her left could open the door handle it was on.

he spun her around, moving the wet hair that was still getting wet by the rain.

"i still want you, because i love you too." jet said, and then he cupped desiree's face before kissing her.

she pulled back, in shock of what happened. "sorry, caught me off guard again." she chuckled.

this time she leaned in for the kiss, wrapping her arms around jet's neck.

he placed his own hands on her waist, and desiree's hands went to jet's wet hair, tangling her fingers in his curls.

the rain was falling on them, soaking them but making it feel as if they were living in a movie.

after what felt like forever, they stopped, and desiree looked at her watch.

"7 minutes, uh we have to go..." desiree said. "then let's go." jet said picking up his bag and taking desiree's hand as they both ran inside east high.

they ran together towards the dressing room, soaking wet.

when they got there nobody was there, and so they grabbed every hair dryer they could, and turned it on to dry jet's hair.

luckily desiree would have time since she didn't had a scene for a few more minutes, but jet didn't.

eventually by the time everyone came back in, to do quick touch up's they were almost done.

"jet, hey desiree found you!" maddox said running in.

"why are you guys using 3 hair dryers on his hair." carlos said, seeing desiree holding two and jet with one.

"and why are you both soaking wet.." ricky said. "too long of a story." jet said.

desiree grabbed some of the product she uses in her hair, putting it in jet's.

after she was done, he got up to get his costume, rushing to the changing room.

gina ran in, and went to ricky. shockingly she was still in her dress from the first act, but then again so was desiree, except hers was soaked.

"okay places!" maddox said, and if on cue jet ran out the dressing room, his boys are back outfit on.

"also..did you guys do my plan?" desiree said, picking up a hairdryer for herself.

the huddle of people that was towards the other side of the stage, moved out the way, turning the chair to show ej who looked way older with his makeup on.

"aw, grandpa ej!"  said and ej shook his head at her.

suddenly her phone buzzed three times, and it was three emails from yale, howard, and city college.

"no.." desiree sighed, walking away from everyone and going into the hallway.

"how am i supposed to choose." she said, holding her chest stressed.

nayah speaks !!

this kiss wasn't even in the plan for this book until you guys wouldn't stop with the damn rain kiss.
