Sophie's pov

It's 2 weeks already since I got the lead role aka Gabriella. People are starting to notice me and I don't like the feeling to be honest.
Biana is sad when she hears that I'm Gabriella and not her but I think she got over it.
The one who reacted the worst is Fitz.
He literally threw a tantrum on me and Keefe just because he didn't get what he wanted.

*Flashback*
"YOU GOT WHAT??" I heard shouting coming from Keefe and Fritz's room so I decided to go and check. Biana also seemed worried since Fitz had some anger issues and that he might not be able to control his temper and do something really bad to Keefe.
We opened the doors of their dorm and saw Fitz shouting at Keefe. They both freezed when they saw us coming.
"Stop Fitz, we both know that you will do things you regret when you're having a temper." Biana said calmly.
"Did YOU set this up?" Fitz asks Biana, pointing at her with a shaking finger.
"How about you? Are you happy now that you get the lead role with Keefe by your side?" Fitz spat, turning to me.
"I-I didn't want to get a role!" I said.
"Oh so NOW you're lying. I thought you were on my side Sophie." Fitz said.
That's when I really snapped.
"I liked you Fitz! A LOT! DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT I DON'T WANT TO GET A ROLE? BIANA ASKED ME TO AUDITION SO I DID BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A GOOD FRIEND! AND NOW YOU'RE BLAMING ME BECAUSE I GOT A ROLE? IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT YOU DIDN'T GET A ROLE. SO DON'T BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE." I shouted into Fitz's face.
I then stormed out of their dorms with Biana hot on my heels.
"Soph-" Biana started.
"DON'T. DON'T bother me." I said, hot tears rolling down my cheeks.

my first crush abandoned me.
my friends are angry at me.

What have I gotten myself into?
*End of Flashback*

"Soph, wake up!" Biana hissed, nudging my arms.
I must've fallen asleep.
"Attention students that are participating in the school musical. Our first rehearsal is after school today at the theatre. Make sure to shower first and bring a waterbottle because we'll be rehearsing very hard due to our time limit. Cast and crew will also be excused from school for the rest of the week, and please check-in with me every morning at 6:30am. For those who are interested in watching the musical, the tickets are out NOW at our school store. Thank you and I'm Ms.Proteque."
"WE get to skip school without detention? Bonus points for drama!" Keefe said happily, who's sitting on the table beside me.
"Well, technically Keefe, we'll be in the theatre for a whole week." I said, looking up from my book.
After the announcement, teachers went out together to re-organize our schedules. Leaving the students alone in the classroom.
And you could imagine how bad it looks right now.
Paper airplanes flying across the classroom, people dancing on tables. Couples sitting together... yeah, you probably get the picture.
"And why exactly is that bad Ms.Know-It-All?" Biana said, pointing to me.
"Well, it means that we don't get breaks and stuff like that. Only lunch and probably water and bathroom breaks." I said, removing Biana's pointed finger.
"Whatever. But c'mon Soph! It'll be fun! I promise!" Biana said, giving me the pouty face.
"Fine. Let's get dressed then I'll meet you at the theatre." I said, directing my last sentence to Keefe.
"Yes, Lady Fos-Boss." Keefe said sarcastically.
"Where did that come from?" I mumbled.

-line break!!!!!-

Biana dressed me up, as per usual. She also did my hair, makeup, and chose my shoes... etc.
Biana tried to put me in a dress, but I wouldn't let me.
So I put on a pair of jeans and a black top.
Biana got dressed in another pink dress with sparkly pink heels because in her exact words "I have to give people Sharpay vibes."

-skip to the rehearsal-

"Alright theatre kids! Welcome to our first rehearsal. Anyone excited?" Ms.Proteque asks.
Lots of people cheered, including Biana who was cheering her head off.
"Let's get to know our cast a bit, shall we?" Ms.Proteque asked us to go to the stage and hide behind the curtains.
"Sharpay and Ryan are played by Biana and Fitz Vacker."
Biana did a curtsy as Fitz did a prince-y bow that made the girls swoon.
"Chad and Taylor are played by Jensi Babblos and Linh Song."
Jensi did a pose with Linh waving beside him.
"Mrs.Darbus is played by Marella Redek."
Marella did a hair-flip and did an action looking like Mrs.Darbus.
"And finally, our main characters. Gabriella and Troy are played by Sophie Foster and Keefe Sencen."
I walked out and did a polite bow as Keefe made a dramatic entrance but falling flat on his face.
I quickly went to help him up and he said to me "Making boys fall, huh?" I blushed.

"Alrights peeps, no time to waste. We have a show to present in a week! We're going to start with the last song 'We're All In This Together'. Please flip to page 104 and get your butts on stage." Ms.Proteque shouted.
Damn, that teacher can REALLY shout.

Our pianist Maruca came out to play as our new dance teacher Ms.Tanki teaches us the dance moves.

After 2 redos in a row, we were exhausted. Ms.Proteque FINALLY called break as everyone slumped down at their positions.

"Ms. Foster and Mr.Sencen!" I winced as her voice echoed through the theatre.
"Please come backstage."
I reluctantly stood up and saw Keefe do the same.
We walked side-by-side backstage to where Ms.Proteque was standing.
"Let's practice your dialogue. From page 3-6. I want you 2 to have it memorized by tomorrow, got it?"
"Yes Ms.Proteque." we said simultaneously.
We went through the dialogue part with our teacher constantly interrupting us and telling us to add more emotion to our actions.
After 20 looooooooooooong minutes, we finally went through the dialogue part once.
Ms.Proteque decided to give us a "take 5", quoting her.

Keefe and I plopped down at the chairs backstage, he took out a bag full of snacks and asked if I wanted them or not.

"Seriously Keefe? This is rehearsal, not break!" I said.
"There's always time for a snack!" he replied..
Or at least that's what I think he replied, since he's talking with his mouth full of pastries and it sounded more like "Ere' ouays ime or o nack.".
"Keefe! Don't talk with your mouth full." I said, pointing to his mouth.
He swallowed his food and smirked. "Do you want one? It's really good, Fitz and Biana's mom gave me this. And she's an awesome cook."
"Oh really? I thought my mom's food was the BES-" I said.
He took advantage of me talking and shoved a piece of pastry into my mouth.
I began to protest but eventually ate it.

It is like hard candy on the outside but with flavored goo in the inside. This one is caramel flavored and it tastes AMAZING!
But probably not as good as mom's butterblasts and mallowmelt.

I looked at the ones in the basket and realized it look much like cookies with whip cream stuff.

After swallowing my desert, I said to Keefe "This is amazing! What's it called?"
"Told you you'd like it!" Keefe said, winking.
"It's called Custard Bursts. Della, the Vackers' mom, created them herself when she took a baking class." Keefe explained.

"You should come to my house sometime, my mom bakes the most amazing pastries in the world." I said, then realized that I invited one of the popular guys at school to my house and blushed.
"Wow, you're saying this after you tried Custard Bursts? Damn, I have to try them then. When can I come over?" Keefe said, his eyes glinting like a child's when they see sweets.
"This excited to come over huh?" I said, attempting a smirk.
"Shut up Foster." Keefe said, smaking my arm lightly.

The rest of the rehearsal went through smoothly. It was the best memory I had about school so far.

Maybe Foxfire High isn't so bad after all.
