Guys if you have an issue with how this goes my bad but like sorry not sorry

Cheryl looked in the mirror of her dressing room. Tonight was sher first performance. She fixed her makeup putting on a coat of lipstick.

She here's faint knocks on the door. She walks over opening it revealing James who had a look of guilt.

"Hey ja-"

"I'm not letting you do this." He interrupts quickly.

"Huh?" Cheryl says confused "your the one to even suggest I do it" Cheryl says crossing her arms.

"Well I know that. But I'm not going to let you ruin someone that means so much to you. So you have two options 1, tell Matt your not doing it at all and go tell Toni the truth or 2, I'll call her and tell her." James says shutting the door.

"Cmon that's childish why would you do that to me?" Cheryl says hurt.

"Because Cheryl I care about you. And whatever the real reason is for wanting to go strip there's no need for some girl like you to do it." James says and Cheryl frowns remaining quiet.

"Look I strip and bartender because my mom is a waitress trying to raise a 16 year old, a 6 year old, and a 12 year old  on her own. I need the money and I've already stooped low. Meanwhile your talented Cheryl don't go waist it for horny teenagers and dirty slobs. Cher you live in a mansion with your mom and nana. I live in an apartment that leaks.  You have friends that will help you. People just keep me around for sympathy.  Please go home tell Toni." James says grabbing Cheryl's hands.

"Its not money." Cheryl says grabbing her temples sitting on the couch.

James feels bad for the girl sitting beside her.

"Then what is it?"

"I just. I don't want to be just Cheryl blossom. Toni's girlfriend. The other one. I want to be special." Cheryl says and James thinks for a second.

"Dr dre once said 'You just have to find that thing that's special about you that distinguishes you from all the others, and through true talent, hard work, and passion, anything can happen. ' you already have something special about you Cheryl" James says and Cheryl smiles softly.

"And what would that be?"

"I would say the way you draw your basically an artist" James laughs and Cheryl blushes.

"How do you know?" Cheryl says shyly

"I saw you drawing in class yesterday." James shrugs and Cheryl hugs him tightly.

"I don't get why people are so beefy about you I find you very comforting." Cheryl says and James shrugs.

"Go find Toni and tell her the truth" James says and Cheryl sighs standing up.

"What about Matt?" Cheryl questions and James stands up.

"I'll handle him."

Toni was hanging out with fangs watching tv.

her mom took another nights gift so she wouldn't e home till late that night.

"I never understood grease" fangs says watching the boys dance at the dance.

"Why?" Toni's snorts and his eyes light up.

"Well for starters sandy is ugly. I don't understand why a hunk like danny cares so much about her not to mention she looks like forty years old.  There like sixteen and have cigarettes and i just wanna know where they bought them. The judges are homophobic. They said you have to compete with hetero couples. And French was stalking to an angel?  Its a dumb movie." Fangs rants in his lightning McQueen onezy
