"HEY BUDDIES!" the blonde girl says to the camera. She sitting at her dressing room vanity in costume and make up for another show.  "Another show, I have Corey here with me." She zooms in to a tall scrawny boy who's sprawled out on a bright purple couch in the corner behind her. His brown eyes move from his phone to the camera and awkwardly smiles. "People where asking why he's always here even though he isn't in the show because security does allow close friends and the time I get ready for the night show is right when he has thirty minutes break from work." She explains.

"Plus I'm her roommate and I don't wanna be alone." He says as the camera places on him again.

"Alrighty guys, I will see y'all at intermission." She says ending the footage.

RILEY walks out of her dressing room in leggings and an oversized sweatshirt. She walks onto the stage with two people standing there with the rest of the cast including their director. "Hello everyone, today we were pleased to have yet another celebrity attendance. These are the stars of High School Musical the Musical the Series." the cast fills with applause.

"I'm Olivia Rodrigo and this is Joshua Bassett." The girl is averaged high with tan skin and silk dark chocolate hair. The boy was taller with fair shin and brown curly hair.

"Alright thank and good night every one." the director tells as the content seared cast breaks out making their way out of the theatre.

Although most people wanted to go home, Riley walked over to the two within a conversation. "Hi, I'm Riley." She sticker her hand out to shake.

"Oh my god," Olivia sighs with a smile while reaching out to shake Riley's. "I loved you performance so much." the brunette initiates a slight hug.

As the two break apart, Riley smiles at Joshua. "Joshua, right?" She asks shaking his hand. Instead he doesn't answer. The boys eyes are looking at her, but his face was blank. "Hello?" Riley lets put a small laugh.

His mind snaps back to reality, "oh," he laughs and pulls his hand back. "Y-yeah, that's me. You're amazing... at acting and your singing is incredible." His lips pull into an awkward yet genuine smile.

The blonde smiles back at him as she could feel warmth rising to her face. "Stop, I'm serious. You- that scene about the divorcing. I probably could cry endlessly about that scene if I could."

"Oh, our rides here Joshua." Olivia says looking up from her phone.

"Right, uhh, We're here another day week or so for press, so if you'd want to we could hangout I guess with Olivia. Like friends. Also the rest of the cast if that's fine." He stumbles out of nervousness and loss of words.

"Cool, oh get to your ride." Riley laughs seeing his face go from in awe to scared shitless.

"IM JOSHUABASSETT ON INSTAGRAM!" He yells as he runs off the stage. "SHIT NO THERES A T SOMEWHERE IN THERE!!"

"I GOT THAT." Riley giggles to herself while walking out.
