A Secret Love Story (A Kowie Story) (HSMTMTS)

A Secret Helper

After a fun spring break, the secret couple went back to their respected schools to keep rehearsing for their separate productions of Beauty and the Beast. Although they were competing, they were still on good terms but had to hide their relationship from their friends.

Over at North High, their performance was thriving with their Broadway level acting, sets, costume, and even effects. However over at East High, their performance isn't going the best. They weren't going horribly but they're Beast transformation admittedly wasn't good... at all.

Lily came into the rehearsal room very excided. "Guys! I've stuck gold!" " What is it?" Zackey Roy asked, "I have the original Broadway technical specs for the beast transformation!" "What?!" Everyone said with excitement. Howie was excided at first about being able to do an epic transformation (well in execution and not explanation) but at the same time was carious on how East High was gonna pull it off. He had a feeling that it would be just as epic seeing the sneak peeks on East High's insta.

Later at slices, Howie and Kourtney started their shift. They still had to pretend to hate each other in front of their friends, worried about their disapproval. "Hello." Kourtney said coldly, "Hi." Howie responded with the same energy. Then they just laughed about the idea of hating each other at this point of their relationship, "Okay, you are very adorable when you pretend to hate me." Kourtney joked, Howie slightly blushed at that comment. "Anyway, how's the show going?" Kourtney asked "Well, we have a specs of the Broadway Beast transformation... so pretty good." Howie responded "Oh. That's pretty coincidental." Kourtney said "Why? How's your transformation going?" Howie asked a little concerned "Let's just say, Ricky took like 40 seconds to get the mask off, then when he threw it off the whole stage pretty much collapsed." she answered. Howie went from excided about North High beast transformation to concerned for East High's beast transformation. "But I have a plan to make it a little less sloppy." Kourtney said confidently, "You always have great plans Kourt," Howie said lovingly placing his hand on Kourtney's which made her slightly blush. "Whoa guys! I thought you were meant to be a secret." Big Red jokingly said walking into the kitchen, they immediately let go of each others hands realizing that they were in public. "Well, back to hating you." Kourtney said jokingly

Kourtney and Howie just continue with work as usual, All the wildcats gathered at the pizza place to try to fix their show. Kourtney overhears what the cast are talking about, Kourtney walks out telling Howie some orders. "Fresh soda. Y'all okay?" Kourtney asked "Carlos was just explaining...." Gina started to explain but Kourtney interrupted by saying "I heard it all." "While you were yelling at Howie?" Gina questioned, Kourtney dismissed that comment saying "Multitasking." She was a little over everyone trying to talk about Howie when she was meant to hate him in front of them.

Howie felt bad about having the upper hand over his partner's team, he knew his team had quite an unfair advantage, so he decided to help them out by stealing the transformation plans and giving it to East High, so that they would be a bit more even.

Kourtney got a text from Howie telling her to meet him at slices. Kourtney at first was confused but then rushed to slices.

They met up at the front of the pizza place. "Hey! What's up?" Kourtney asked. Howie handed her the plans, "What's this?" Kourtney asked. "A way to get even." Howie answered, Kourtney observed it more and realized it was the beast transformation specs. "Oh my god Howie. Thank you! But you're betraying your own team." "Well, I betray you because of them so might as well get em back. I'm even willing to not give it my all in the performance..." He offered, "No. That would be too unfair. This is enough." Kourtney defended "Thank you, for doing this." She gave him a soft kiss on his cheek. "Anything for my Ravenclaw." Howie said smiling. The two stared deep into each others eyes before Kourtney snapped out of it "Umm, I should probably..." "Yeah. I'll see you soon." Howie said.
