Chapter 41: Brangelina Level Chemistry

Chapter 41 : Brangelina Level Chemistry

"I mean, WOW!" I said after listening to the performance by the Silver Falls High School singers. "That was like 'Brangelina' level chemistry!"

"Taylor and Max have been in love with each other for as long as I can remember but their egos clash." Skylar, the girl from Silver Falls High we had met earlier said.

"You guys are dating?" Parker asked pointing at Skylar and the guy next to her whose name I think was Caleb.

"NO!" They shouted at the same time.

"Dating my best friend. That would be so gross." Sky added.

"Maybe not." Zee added placing his arm around Claire.

"Her older sister is my brother's wife." Caleb tried arguing. "It would be weird."

"My brother and his sister are engaged. It's totally not weird." I said.

"Next up, REDFIELDS HIGH." The emcee yelled.

"All the best guys." Coach Robin and Mr.Reynolds said.

Parker and I stepped in stage and sang our hearts out to 'Miss Americana', if you know whom I mean.

Still didn't get it?

It's Taylor Swift! Duh!

You guys are bad with Pop Culture references!

We sang Lover. The Shawn Mendes version.

"With that performance, our programme for the day ends here. Judges, do you have your scores?" The emcee said.

"Looks like they do. The five schools advancing to the finals are, in fifth position, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL!"

Two boys, dressed up like Sharpay and Ryan Evans in 'Bop To The Top' went up on stage to collect their award.

"In fourth position, drumroll please, HATHAWAY HIGH SCHOOL! "

"Weren't they the ones who sang :In the End'?" Parker asked me.

"Yup." I answered.

"In third position, we have our own, GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL!"

The two girls from Greenville High went up on stage to collect their award.

"Finally, the top two! In second position, the school which decided to stick to good old Taylor, REDFIELDS HIGH SCHOOL!"

"Congratulations." The head of Greenville, who was giving out the awards said.

"Thank you." Parker and I said in unison.

"And, the winner is, drumroll please! SILVER FALLS PREP!"

"They deserved it." I said.

"Yeah. They did." Parker replied.

"Before you leave, a small announcement. Tonight is BONFIRE NIGHT! So everyone be there to support the top five teams for a riff off!" The emcee announced.

"Yayyy." I said.

"You love this stuff, don't you?" Parker said.

"I watched all the Pitch Perfects five times till date." I said.

"We have two days to prepare for the musical. We've come this far. So, losing or winning doesn't matter. Well, it does, but we'll be happy with either." Mr Reynolds said.

"That we will." Coach Robin said.

"During your practices we made an observation that your musical was working really well. The script, dance choreography, the music selection, everything was very well done." Mr Reynolds said.

"But we had one question. Why did you guys choose to write your own musical? Why not put up something that's already there? There are so many musicals and teen movies out there that could be turned into musicals." Coach Robin asked.

"Well, we all have different favourites. Like for me, High School Musical." I started.

"I like Heathers." Tara continued. "Veronica likes Mean Girls, Claire likes Camp Rock."

"Each of us had different opinions, so we decided that we would incorporate some scenes from each of the musicals or movies into our musical and relate it with our life." Jesse said.

"Because of our varied choices, we decided that, we should do something that would bring our story to light. It's senior year after all and we want something to be remembered by." Veronica said.

"In fact, it was Zeeshan who came up with the idea." Kabir said.

"A round of applause for Zeeshan, then."

"Boys and girls, before I forget, Principal Hedge has asked me to convey this message to you, that as soon as you get back, you'll be required to start preparing for your final exams. Don't worry, Riya and Claire have taken the initiative to coach anyone who needs the help." Coach Robin said.

"Veronica, all the best for the cheer competition." Mr Reynolds said as Coach Robin and he departed from the table.

"Yeah, all the best." A chorus rang out around the table.

"Why y'all wishing? Regina basically copied our dance routine for Hey Mickey from the one we had done for one of the school assemblies. I know the routine by heart, even if I didn't wanna do it."

"Look at the amount of carbs she eats. She'll never be as beautiful as you, Regina." I heard Shelby telling Regina.

"I know that." Regina replied.

I saw Antara's fists clench as she repeatedly stabbed her scrambled eggs with her fork.
I placed my hand on her leg from under the table.

"Shut up, and let's just go." Veronica told the three colourful ladies.

"We don't take orders from you." Ashley said.

"Well, it's your choice whether you want to stay here and gee humiliated or just leave." Charlotte said, who, as usual made a badass entrance at the correct time.

"I'm just trying to save your asses in public. So let's just go." Veronica said walking out of the hotel's dining hall.

"Riya," Kabir called.

"Hmm?" I said looking up and setting my coffee cup on the table.

"We need your help." Zee and Tara said in unison.

Well of course, they need my help! It'll be like seventh grade again!

Hey guys,

First of all, yayyyyyyyy. Double update!
I know it doesn't make up for the last few months. But I had exams and then, this quarantine was the only thing tat could make me sick of using my phone!

So, here's a little something I came up with while we're all stuck inside our houses lile Big Boss Contestants.

I don't know why I am facing so much trouble to finish this book. Maybe cause I started it 5 years ago, when I was 13 and life  was rainbows and unicorns. This book had been planned in a 13 year old's mind, not an 18 year old's. Trust me, even I, as the author do not know how this book is going to end. Maybe I will not be able to end it here. Maybe it'll take a spin off or a sequel to finish it. Let's see.

//How are you guys spending time?//

Stay tuned ❤️
