Hey There- Rose?

Chp. 5

Frankies POV

~Backstage~
Violet, Aspen, and I are waiting backstage for our next performace,

"Okay, so everyone has their parts down? Right?" Aspen asks.

"Yes we do, for the millionth time, stop being so uptight" Violet says as she rolls here eyes.

"I wouldn't be so uptight if someone would actually attend our practices as scheduled," Aspen mumbled loud enough for Violet to hear. Violet opens her mouth to say something but I cutt her off, "OKAY, how about we just practice what we have done?" and without another word from either of them they went on with their vocal warm-ups.

"Hey! Frankie!" all of us turn to see Wes jogging towards me and I start blushing. I've always thought Wes was pretty attractive but he's the enemy, so I can't let it get to me. I need to focus on what's important: Winning. Violet and Aspen look at me as if I have three heads and I turn away from their astonished looks.

"Hey Wes, what's up?" I asks continuing blushing. Violet looks particularly irritated with this exchange.

"Just came to say good luck" he winks and turns to walk off until Violet turns to him and says, "We don't need luck, we have talent".

"Vi, c'mon, we don't need this" Aspen grabs Violet by her arm and drags her off away from Wes.

"Erm, well, uh thanks. And uh, good luck to you too" I say as i awkwardly walk off and rush behind the two complete idiots that just embarrassed me in front of Wes.

As soon as we get far enough Violet violently takes her arm back and turns to Aspen,"You can let go of me now, I'm not a little kid". Aspen lets go but keeps her stern look at Violet. Oh please don't look at me. Her eyes are like daggers sometimes.

"What the hell was that?!" Aspen asks Violet. Damn Aspen, chill, you're going to make scene. I start to look for a seat. This place is full of chairs, but alas I can never find want I need.

"You should be asking your loving sister that not me! She's the one making googly eyes with the enemy" Violet says crossing her arms matter-of-factly. Aspen turns to me and gives me her signature daggers.

"Am I in trouble?" I as giving my little sister my famous puppy dog eyes.

"Don't play dumb Frankie, what was that?" Aspen says irritated with both Violet and I. I open my mouth to say something to defend myself but as soon as I do one of the crew members comes to us and says, "You girls are on in two minutes" and walks off without a another word. I let out an audible sigh of relief but Aspen hasn't looked away for one second.

"We will finish this later" she says and leads us to the stage. Thank God I didn't have to admit that I have a crush on the enemy. It would catch Aspen off guard, she wouldn't be able to focus, it would ruin our performance.

We all walk onstage and the judges in their assigned seats.

"Hello again girls" says Demi enthusiastically.

"Hi" we all say in unison. I look over to see Aspen's face. She seems to have gotten over what just happened either that or she's one hell of an actor. I know I'm going to get it later though. I look over at Violet's expression and she seems to look like she has a secret that no one else knows. That girl is always hiding something.
