Regionals 2023

Chapter 12 Does Your Mother Know

Izzy's POV

As Bart, Finn and I were still in Peter's cafe Bart started to speak.

"Okay, we just need to show Peter and Red Jessica that nobody really wants Jake to be dance captain." Bart told us.

"I have an idea, how about re-choreograph the regionals routine. We can make it better, and good include people's ideas." I explained.

"Yeah, we can show it to Peter and then he'll have to pick you as dance captain." Finn agreed with my plan.

"He's done, so when do we start then?" Bart asked.

"Hahaha, no time like the present." I told the boy.

Jake's POV

Once Red Jessica walked me into Peter Pan's office, I looked at him and apparently he was not happy with me for some reason.

"Sit down Jake." Peter exclaimed as I sat down.

"Can I turn on the vibrating chair?" I asked.

"No!" Peter yelled.

"Jake, word on the street is, that you and Owlette have not been cooperating and we're here to discuss it." Red Jessica said.

"We know that you're upset with Owlette being late, but you need to take it easy on her." Peter exclaimed.

"How you even ask her why she was late?" Peter wanted to know.

"I would love to ask her...if she was here." I answered.

"End of discussion, you have to apologize." Red Jessica said.

"End of discussion? I'm not apologizing." I told them both.

"Jake Alex Hutchinson, if you want to continue as dance Captain you will apologize Mr." Peter exclaimed.

"You're not serious?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm definitely serious. But God sacks you're 17. Stop being a bully to people especially towards women. Owlette is a sweet girl." Peter told me.

"Fine I'll apologize." I answered.

"Good, I am glad we are on the same page here Jake. Now, get out of my office!!" Peter screamed as I ran out.
Owlette's POV

"I don't want to take Jake side, but I don't really understand why you've been so distracted it really takes away from the group." Cubby told me.

I still didn't want anyone to know about my job.

"Can we please change the subject?" I asked as Cubby nodded.

"Lisa, don't you have a rehearsal to be at or something?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah I should probably go." Lisa answered as she left.

"Bye guys, see you later." Lisa shouted.

Jake's POV

As I walked inside Peter's Cafe, I began to call Owlette's name.

"Excuse me, Owlette? I called her name.

"Yeah!" Owlette exclaimed.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked.

"Um, sure." Owlette answered.

"I just came here to apologize to you. What I did was really professional and I mean I...I'm really sorry." I apologized.

"You're part of Troupe A and you're an amazing dancer and you're meant to be in Troupe A." I told her with tears coming down my cheeks.

"Really?" Owlette asked as she felt tears coming down her face.
