Should I choose Him?

Ch.8: Placements and Jealously

After going home for the weekend and having a long Monday of school I could finally figure out my role in the play. I went to the board the advisor posted on her door. I scrolled up and down until I saw 'Carol Snickers next the name, Ashli! I DID IT! I got Ashli but I then looked over and saw a disappointed Jenna. I asked her why she looked so sad. Jenna said that it was because she got 'The Choir' and I didn't understand the issue until I realized the choir only sang background for two songs and had minimal lines. I told her that I felt bad but she just walked away with tears streaming down her face. I shouldn't even feel bad she's been so rude to me
I looked over at the board and saw Hazel with her grin again. She hovered towards me. She told me that she got the part of Jaime. I didn't care until I realized that meant Willow didn't get the part! Willow still had a chance for the lead of Emma, a small chance but maybe a miracle could happen. That's when our advisor walked in. Mrs. Sylie and with her was our music teacher, Mr. Salem. Both of them were going to make this show magnificent I thought! Then Mrs.Sylie told us she'd announce the lead perosnally! I knew there was only two people who could've been Emma and they were Willow or Sydney. Mrs.Sylie opened her lips to pronounce the name, Sydney. I stood there while everyone clapped. I turned around and there was Willow. She ran down the hall just like Jenna and I chased after her, to comfort her.

I grabbed Willow by the shoulder and pulled her back into my arms. I hugged her and told her that no matter what she'd be the best extra ever and it seemed to make her feel better because she hugged me back and said thank you. I walked out with Willow since we both were finished and we waved goodbye as we went into our parents cars to leave the school and get prepared for tomorrow's first rehearsal. While in the car I told my Mom all about the part and stuff about Willow and she told me just not to brag which I understood. I got home and right away Jenna texted me and told me that she was so upset and all I could say was that she deserved what she got and couldn't think about anything else because Jenna needed my help but while I texted Jenna, Willow started texting me too and I didn't want to respond because I was too occupied with Jenna and her big ego. Jenna seemed sincere though, she said I could make her feel better as I related to her, she believed we were similar. Who would I choose? My bestfriend, Willow or A new ally, Jenna? The mystery number texted top at this time. I told "Logan" or whoever it was to stop and blocked them. After Wilbur texted me saying stuff about how he wanted to hang but I had to make it clear that I had to pause what we had because I needed to focus on the play and by surprise he understood! I didn't really know who to choose still because I have been waiting to make an alliance with Jenna but Willow was my bestie and I wanted to keep her! The thought of turning an enemy into a friend caught me though and I decided that Jenna was someone who really needed my help while Willow could go to anyone else. I texted her all night and I still don't regret it but Willow did seem upset the next day. I went through my usual school day and then the first rehearsal began it was mostly just monologues and garbage but I used the time to talk to Jenna which seemed to make Willow a tad bit jealous. I got jealous too though because when Jenna wasn't talking to me, she had Hazel. I was so baffled at first because my I guess bestie and my newest friend were getting close and I felt left out sometimes. I guess Willow felt like this too. After a few rehearsals later the play seemed to be more and more great until one of our main Actresses, Becca wanted to quit. Becca was Bunny's sister and both of them wanted to quit due to our play seeming too inappropriate for highschool for some reason plus they did swimming which was more of a priority for them  This left a main role open! Bunny was just an extra so she didn't matter but Becca was a big role and Willow had her chance! Then I realized Jenna had one too... I had to make a choice. Mrs. Sylie and Mr. Salem wanted the cast to vote the new role soon. It was all of the irrelevant extras, Wilma, and Jenna that wanted this. I knew what I wanted but I can't just do it! I had 2 days to decide and Willow and Jenna started getting more and more on me about my vote but I couldn't lie and say I would vote the one I didn't want! My vote would count and I had to choose, bestie or new friend with authentic talent?
