(Find won 6-3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Imma go find him," Kaycee said as Tahani and Bailey nodded
"Ok we'll go find our seats and see you after," Bailey said
"Good luck Kaycee," Tahani said as she and Bailey followed the rest of the students and headed towards the auditorium for the announcement
Kaycee went the opposite way of everyone, as she heads to Sean who said he would find Jenna so she went to the most logical place, Jenna's locker
Auditorium's open front door
Bailey and Tahani had ended up the last of the group of students entering the auditorium and were surprised when they saw Josh standing off to the side looking like he was looking for someone
"Josh?" Bailey said gaining Josh's attention
"Thank God! Where is Kaycee?" Josh said looking for their friend
"She went to look for Sean," Tahani said
"Oh no," Josh said
"What's wrong?" Bailey said
"And in a few seconds, here's a special performance by Sean Lew dedicated to Kaycee Rice," a voice said into the speaker which could be assumed to be Julian
"Fuck!" Josh said as Bailey and Tahani realized what was going on
"I'll go find her! You two need to delay the performance" Tahani said taking off to find Kaycee Rice
"So, Sean really had a special performance to tell Kaycee how he feels about her!" Bailey said as they were running to the stage
"Yes," Josh said "And to ask her out if it goes well"
"And you didn't think to include Tahani or me in this plan?!" Bailey said in an upset tone
"Sean's idea not mine!" Josh said knowing Bailey blames him
Jenna's locker
Kaycee got to the correct hallway and noticed Jenna just on her phone clearly ignoring the auditorium announcement
"Jenna?" Kaycee said gaining Jenna's attention
"Kaycee?! What are you doing here?!" Jenna said shocked at her arrival
"I'm looking for Sean he said he went after you," Kaycee said, "So, where is he?"
"You need to leave now!" Jenna said turning Kaycee around and trying to push her away
"No!" Kaycee said stopping Jenna "I don't care if Sean picked you or not I just need to talk to him"
"Kaycee-" Jenna tried
"-And I know you just liked him like how any normal girl would but you don't deserve him"
"Kaycee! -" Jenna tried again
"And I know you already know about our fake dating situation but I really hope you would just get the hint-"
"-Kaycee shut up! Please!" Jenna yelled shocking Kaycee as she never even heard Jenna annoyed let alone yelling "Sean's at the auditorium and you should have been there... a minute ago!"
"Should have been there?" Kaycee said confused
"Kaycee!" Tahani said as she caught her breath from the running she was not prepared to do
"What's up Tahani?" Kaycee asked
"We need to go!" Tahani said dragging Kaycee away from Jenna
"What's going on?" Kaycee said letting Tahani drag her away
"Less talk, more running," Tahani said
Backstage (Auditorium)
"Where are they?" Julian said more to himself as he was looking for Kaycee in the crowd and noticed he didn't see Tahani Bailey or Josh either
"I'm sure they'll make it," Charlize said
"Hopefully," Julian said as he sees Sean standing by with his guitar going over the song in his head as he was mostly waiting on Julian and Charlize to move so he can go
The plan was that Sean somehow convinced the principal to allow him to do a quick performance before the actual announcement had to be said
The principal however only allowed five minutes which could easily be placed in the time of all the background elements getting together such as microphones and such
Sean had gotten Julian and Charlize to do some dancing while he sings and Josh was just supposed to make sure Kaycee would be front and center
Sean wasn't nervous as his song wasn't the full five minutes so him losing a few seconds didn't bother him especially when he wasn't aware that Kaycee wasn't present yet
Julian looked down at his phone and saw a text from Bailey
Bailey had explained the situation with Kaycee and how Josh was trying to do his best to delay the principal but couldn't get him to give Sean and them more time and they need a backup plan
"She's not here" Julian whispered to Charlize
"Why not? Didn't she hear the announcement?" Charlize said
"I have an idea," Julian said
"What is it?! We're running out of time!" Charlize said
"Well we can let Sean go now so he has the full time to do his song or we can get a distraction going on stage until Kaycee gets here," Julian said
"What if Kaycee never gets here? We're down to like 3 minutes now" Charlize said quickly checking the time on her phone
"Well I know Sean will be hurt if he sings and she's not here but if he never goes he'll know his plan failed which would hurt also" Julian said "And with the distraction it buys time for Kaycee to get here versus coming into the middle or end of Sean's song when she would be potentially confused"
"Why are you putting this on me?" Charlize said groaning that she's being forced to pick
"Because I need to know what to text Josh and Bailey," Julian said having his phone ready "It's your move Charlize"
"..." Charlize said
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3 minutes... Should Charlize go with Julian's plan to let Sean sing whether Kaycee's there or not, or make a distraction that would potentially give Kaycee time to come in the auditorium for the whole message/song)
YOU DECIDE:
Start/Let Sean sing now before there's no time left
or
Delay/Try to give Kaycee time no matter how long it'll take her IF she gets there
(Another way to look at is...
(All or Nothing vs Every little bit counts)
If you picked Leave:
- then this whole problem would be avoided lol
- Kaycee would be with Sean, the end
