Keefe's pov

"Patrina! Get that prop on stage right now!" Ms.Proteque shouted as everyone fumbled around backstage.
"Leakon! Where are the scripts?" Maruca yelled.
"Dex! Someone broke the lighting console!" A boy, I think named Tani said.

People rushed in and out of backstage while our director shouted instructions.

This is what happens when the audience starts coming in less than 10 minutes.

—-----------

I quickly went into the boys' changing room and got into my first 'Troy' outfit. It was a white shirt with some embroidery on it paired with blue pants, I slipped into my red and white sneakers and went out to rehearse the lines one more time.

I saw Fitz sitting with Tam and Linh practicing their lines, Fitz looks so funny looking in Ryan's costume. I got out my phone but it got taken away by Maruca.
"No tech backstage!" she said, taking everyone's electronics and putting them in a white box and locking it.
"Nooooo" I whined, "I was going to take a photo of Fitzy here in his costume!".
"Nope, that's the director's rule. I could give it back to you if you want," Maruca said, extending her arm.
"I have a feeling there's a but coming..." I whispered to them.
"But-"
"TOLD YOU SO! HA!!" I shouted, Fitz ended up shushing me as people turned and glared at me.
"Shhh! The audience is coming in! See?" Maruca said, pointing at a big screen in front of us that I have yet failed to notice.
"Marella! Hey, Ms.Proteque was looking for you. Sophie seemed to be confused about which costume to wear." Maruca said when she noticed Marella, they both walked towards the exit chatting. Marella is our costume designer and Maruca's best friend.

I was practicing my lines with Fitz (him being Gabriella of course) when I heard an announcement from Ms.Proteque.

"Hello Cast and Crew, tonight is opening night. The show starts in 20 minutes, may you make no mistakes on stage." Ms.Proteque said to the announcer that only backstage could hear.

Everyone cheered then returned to what they were doing previously. Most people were playing volleyball or toss and catch with a plushie penguin. Other girls were giggling with the boys while snacking on some snacks like Doritos, Nerds gummies, M&Ms.

I chatted with my friends when I saw Foster finally come out of the girls' fitting room along with Biana.
Foster wore a green-ish blue long sleeved top with white laces at the bottom and a pair of black pants.
Biana, on the other hand, looks like a Barbie who just came out of its box. She wore an all-pink top with a matching skirt and glittering pink heels. (With pink makeup, sunglasses, lipstick... well, you get the image.)

I saw Tam blush when Biana smiled at him, what a pair of people who are oblivious of each other's feelings.

-time skip to Keefe's first entrance-

I took a deep breath as I was about to step onto stage. I star in the opening scene which means I am technically the first person to be on stage.

I stepped into the light and began acting.

The musical goes on without any mistakes so far, now it's time for the finale song-We're All In This Together.

Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on lets do this right
I walked in with Sophie by my side, hands linked and waved to the crowd and sang.

Here and now its time for celebration
I finally figured it out (yeah yeah)
That all our dreams have no limitations
That's what its all about(yeah yeah)
Everyone is special in their own way
We make each other strong (we make each other strong)
Were not the same
Were different in a good way
Together's where we belong
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true
Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on lets do this right
We're all here
And speaking out with one voice
We're going to rock the house (YEAH YEAH!)
The party's on now everybody make some noise
Come on scream and shout
We've arrived because we're stuck together
Champions one and all
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come
We're all in this together
When we reach
We can fly
Know inside
We can make it
We're all in this together
Once we see
Theres a chance
That we have
And we take it
Wild cats sing along
Yeah, you really got it goin' on
Wild cats in the house
Everybody say it now
Wild cats everywhere
Wave your hands up in the air
That's the way we do it
Lets get to it
Time to show the world
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true
We're all in this together
When we reach
We can fly
Know inside
We can make it
We're all in this together–

We were almost at the end of the show when a huge chunk of something black fell from the ceiling and collapsed onto me.

I saw white smoke and dust everywhere. I tried to get up but failed.
I can feel my energy going down since I wasted a lot trying to get up.

I got a glimpse of a body with blonde hair going limp beside me, then the world went black.

Hey guys!! Hope u liked this chapter. This chapter is based on my own experience backstage before a musical, (We did Frozen last year.) except for the black thingy falling down part. (I just added it cuz.. why not?) Anyways, hope y'all have a great day and enjoy the update!!
