Chloe pov
I feel like I've got some sort of deja vu. Once again I ended up sleeping in Ricky's arms. What a birthday present.
Wait I forgot to tell yall that it's my birthday today. 23rd november.
He woke up, because of my alarm, me trying to avoid eye contact. Was harder then I thought it would be.
Strangely we both sat up straight at the same time.

"Excuse me kids" I heard when we made our way to the theater.
"It's okay, nobody was hurt there was a small fire in the theater and the sprinklers did their job" Miss Jenn tried to reassure us.
"Please tell me you're joking" I sighed, all heads towards me.

"We fell asleep, we smelled smoke, we pulled the fire alarm. And Benjamin Mazara said 'run'. So I ran. I will donate my entire salary to rebuild the theater. But the show must go on."
"Unfortunately, the show cannot go on" one of the fire lady's announced. "Fire ripped through half your costumes and the sprinklers ruined a bunch of your sets."
"Oh not my dear artwork" Kourtney complained.
Please tell me this day can't get any worse.
"Okay, hug your neighbor, take a moment and let's reconvene in the cafeteria after school to talk about options" Miss Jenn sighed.
"Ricky and Nini, spread the word" Miss Jenn said, "Got it, yeah, of course" Nini responded.
"Ricky?" Miss Jenn noticed he was on his phone. "Ricky?" she yelled, "Huh? Sorry. After school in the cafeteria. Got it."

"It's just, I'm the props guy, so ... I'ts kind of a hard day. I guess if you hold it like this, you can't tell it got ruined"
"So how is the birthday girl doing?" Seb asked me on the way to the cafeteria. "Sebbie, you know it well enough by the look on my face" I responded with a slight smile.
"I just feel like this day can't get any worse" I explained, "There's always something that can happen to make it worse" he tried to reassure me, which it definitly didn't.
"It's not helping Seb" I sighed, "But at least you can eat a birthday cake when you get home" he smiled. "If my parents are even home, which they probably aren't" I sighed again.
"At least you woke up in Ricky's arms" he smiled. "Wait, how do you know" I was shocked. "Well, Ricky told Big Red, Big Red told Ashlyn, Ashlyn told Gina, Gina told Carlos and Carlos told me" Seb explained and I chuckled. Maybe this day isn't so bad after all.
<><><><><><>
"Okay guys" Miss Jenn got everyone's attention. "Wait, where's Gina" Miss Jenn called out, "I think she's going through a family thing right now" Ashlyn said.
"Okay prayers to our Gina. I'm really not sure what to say. You've all worked so hard, I've seen all of you grow so much" Miss Jenn looked around. EJ felt emotional and nodded.
"But if we don't have a theater, we don't have a show" she sighed. "Wait, what?" everyone said in union. "Miss Jenn, you can't give up so fast. We gotta do something," Carlos said.
"I guess we could consider other venues?" Miss Jenn suggested.
Many many venues were suggested but one for one were denied by Miss Jenn. I guess the show maybe can't go on. Hits hard as a dancer.
"How about the El Rey" Carlos said, "Any other suggestions?" Miss Jenn avoided Carlos' suggestion.
"Miss Jenn, I feel like you have a really weird reaction to my suggestion" Carlos said with suspicion. "Carlos is aksing if we can try and use the El Rey Theater" I explained, as if it wasn't clear already.
"My uncle is the listing agent and the last thing they had in there was a fashion show, like, four years ago" Carlos was excited.
"Dudes, this places has 500 seats" Seb said, damn, I never ever heard Seb saying dudes. I guess all people change.
Carlos was talking to his uncle in, spanish? I think. I didn't understand a single thing, but it sounded good.
"The El Rey Theater it is" Miss Jenn announced.

"They say that one way to heal from a bad memory is to immerse yourself back in that memory. This should be extremely healing."
Everyone was gathering all the costumes and props that weren't damaged. Which were quite more than that I've expected.
"They're actors, they still have their charms and perfect skin" Big Red told Kourtney. "Hey, I don't have perfect skin" I said.
"Chloe please, I've been in classes with you since kindergarten and I've never ever seen a single pimple on your face" Kourtney chuckled.
<><><><><><>
We were walking into the El Rey and it seemed kind of catchy. There was no light, expect our flashlights.
"Hey sis, how are you holding up" Kourtney asked Nini. "I don't know, Kourt, I actually feel pretty weirdly guilty" she responded. "Almost like I caused this? Like, it's a sign" she continued, "How could you have caused this" I asked Nini.
"I had some strange weekend and started aplying to some sort of performing art school" she said, "Oh, go for it, that's a chance of a lifetime" I said happily.

"Welcome to tech rehearsal" Miss Jenn announced. "I don't know if you've noticed, but most of the tech in this particular theater appears to be hand-cranked" she joked.
"Natalie Bagley, my dear, my stage manager, this is your chance to be the hero. What is it? What's happening" Miss Jenn asked.
"Natalie Bagley is getting her wisdom teeth out" I said.
"Okay, Okay, so, I'm down a stage manager, my "Taylor's" MIA." Miss Jenn was frustrated.
Suddenly a bag full of sand falls about a hair from my head. Everyone screamed, I nearly had a hard attack.
"Totally normal. Just, heads-up, from now on" Miss Jenn said. "Kind of hard when you're head almost fell of because of that" I whispered to Seb, which she luckily didn't hear.

"Troy and Gabriella, find somewhere quiet and run the rooftip scene" Miss Jenn ordered.
"Okay, we just need to nail down our lighting and our sound, and tada we've got a show" Miss Jenn said.
"I need some bodies for the rooftop scene, EJ and Chloe up on stage" she demanded as we made our way upon stage.
