Mariana drives her car and Tia and Emma are with her.

"How much time do we have?" Mariana asked Tia. "Do we even have enough time to do this before Graduation starts?"

"We have two hours" Tia said.

"Maybe this is stupid" Emma said. "Why would they accept me for anyways?"

"Because your a terrific dancer" Mariana said. "Emma this academy is perfect for you. Okay? It's close to home. You won't have to go too far."

"But why would they make my audition on the same day as graduation?" Emma asked. "Guys we can't miss graduation."

"We won't" Mariana assured Emma. "At least I hope not."


Jude sat in the boys bathroom with Alex.

"So let me get this straight you two had sex and you kicked him out?" Alex asked. "Wow your so romantic. God I see why we're not together."

"You and me aren't together" Jude replied. "Because we're best friends and I'm not your type and your mine."

"True you like video games or whatever" Alex said. "And I like fashion. You love the world and I love skinny jeans. Your a dork and I'm talented."

Jude laughs.

"So funny" Jude replied.

"Just kidding" Alex said. "I've seen you wear a pair of skinnies before."

Jude rolled his eyes.

"But seriously what is wrong with you?" Alex asked Jude. "You and Connor finally have sex. By the way can I add you had my sloppy seconds."

"Actually I was the one who originally had him" Jude said. "So your the one who got my sloppy seconds."

"Anyway why would you kick him out?" Alex asked. "You two clearly still love each other. Is it because he had sex with me? Because he was probably pretending I was you."

"it's not because you two had sex" Jude said. "it's just that I got out of a relationship with Jake. And don't you think it's a little fast?"

"Okay" Alex said. "Let me talk to you like this. You really liked Jake but you've always loved Connor Stevens. Your just going to give all of that up?"

"I don't know" Jude replied.

Alex's phone buzzes and he reads a text.

"Who's that?" Jude asked.

"It's Connor he wants to have sex with me" Alex jokes.

"He does?" Jude asked clearly jealous.

Alex rolled his eyes.

"See you love him" Alex said. "But no it's not Connor. It's your sister she needs my help finding Mariana and Tia and Emma."

Alex exits and Jude thinks about Connor for a moment. Then Jude made his way out of the bathroom then he came face to face with Craig.

"Hello Jude" Craig said.

"What are you doing here?" Jude asked. "No one wants you here Craig."

"What is your problem Jude?"

"You raped my best friend" Jude told Craig. "I'm going to make sure you pay for what you've done. You don't deserve to be here. You don't deserve anyone to pity you. What you deserve is to not exist."

"I'm not scared of Jude" Craig replied. "Bring it on."


Mariana pulled up to the building. The three friends got out of the car and rushed in. Emma rushed to the desk.

"Hello I'm sorry I'm late" Emma said. "I'm here for my dance audition. My name is Emma Caulfield."

"You got here just in time" the woman said. "Go right in but your friends have to stay."

Emma rushed off and Mariana and Tia sat down.

"If we miss graduation my mom's are going to murder me" Mariana said. "This is a huge day for them. It's like Christmas."

Tia laughed.

"Don't worry well get there" Tia told her best friend. "We're not going to miss our graduation. It's all going too work out."

Mariana pulls out her phone to see messages from everyone wanting to know where she was. She turned her phone off. She couldn't ruin this moment for Emma.


Jude entered the gym to see it empty. Alex walked into the gym after him.

"I already checked here" Alex said. "Trust me it was the first place I checked. I figured she could be working on a dance or something."

"Where could she be?" Jude asked. "Graduation starts in about an hour. If she's late my mom's will freak out. I've texted her ten times and she didn't answer."

"I texted her too" Alex replied. "Maybe she's having car trouble."

"She would have called" Jude said. "She better get here soon or I will cuss her so bad she'll be wishing she got here early."

"Come on" Alex said. "Let's go find something to eat so you can calm your nerves."

The two friends exit the gym and walk down the hallway.

"Where are we going?" Jude asked but at that moment Alex pushed Jude into a classroom and closed the door and Jude pounded on the door. "Alex!"

"I'll let you out when you and him talk" Alex replied.

Jude turned to see Connor and they stared at each other.

"Hi Jude" Connor said. "So um Alex got you here. I didn't think he could."

"Well he tricked me" Jude said. "He told me we were going to find food. But his evil plan was to get you and me alone."

Connor smiled at Jude.


Mariana and Tia waited for Emma. Mariana was freaking out. She knew Emma had been back there for awhile.

"We're not going to make it" Mariana told Tia.

"Of course we're not" Tia replied. "Your straight and I have a girlfriend."

"I meant to graduation" Mariana said. "Emma has been back there for a long time."

"Don't worry were going to make it" Tia said.

Emma rushed out.

"We have to go" Emma said quickly. "I'll tell you about the audition on the way but we have to go now we only have 50 minutes till graduation begins."

The three friends rushed out.


Brandon sat next to Callie and Max.

"So how's Kat?" Callie asked Brandon.

"I don't know" Brandon replied. "We've been divorced for months."

"What?" Callie asked shocked. "Does mom's know?"

"No" Brandon replied. "I rather it stay that way for right now. Today should be about Mariana and Jesus. Not me."

"Why did you two get divorced?" Callie asked. "I don't get it you two seemed so happy."

"After we lost the baby we lost each other" Brandon said. "Love was suppose to conquer all but in the end it failed."

"Are you sure your not gay?" Max asked. "Because dude I got the biggest gay vibe from you."

"I'm not gay" Brandon replied.

"Trust me he's not gay" Callie told Max.

Callie then leaned in and kissed Max. 

"Where the hell is Mariana?"
