ELLIE EYES GLUED ON HER BEDROOM CEILING, OUT OF THOUGHTS. Pooh was laying beside her, staying still. Tired of the jogging session that they just had this morning.

Ellie cheeks became flushed as she somewhat felt a Ricky's hand on her hands that made its way to her heart. Her hearts quicken as she remembered how Ricky confessed his love for her.

"Pooh, I don't know what to do," she heard her voice cracked a bit because of how happy Ellie is. She covered her face and laid her top on her bed, both feet getting excited going up and down. She didn't know what was gonna happen next after that.

"Hello Ricky?" her phone rang and answered it while trying to calm her voice down.

"It's Carlos. Are you okay, gurl? You're voice is kinda different." Quickly, Ellie felt embarrassed because she assumed he was Ricky. Her hand met Pooh who was sleeping, envious of how Pooh sleep. Because she hadn't got that enough sleep because of school requirements and the play.

" Yeah, I'm good! I'm just readying my vocal skills for our practice today."

"Uhm... Ellie we have no practice for today." Then again, she slapped Fer forehead this time remembering she had no part to practice for today.

"Right,thanks for reminding me. Hehe."

"Right now, could you help me and go to our practice for today. I need some help with the pictorial." there was a something gloomy to Carlos voice. Which was unusual since Carlos is a very cheerful and sassy gurl. She wanted to ask out of worry But Ellie wouldn't want to ask him on the phone. She'll just have to ask him later.

" 1...2...3....Jump" Ellie heard Big Red click the camera as Ricky and the other jumps.

"Nice shot." Big Red thanked Ellie and watched the others fixing their costumes. She couldn't help but to smile as she was caught off guard of how cute they are. Especially Ricky. He was wearing a weird Troy Bolton wig that somewhat look like Justine Bieber's teen hair back then.

She was about to help him with his wig when Ellie saw Ricky is oblivious that his wig was slightly moved backward. That look like it was about to fall but EJ tapped her shoulder.

"Hey, EJ."

"I'm sorry if I didn't get you home that night." Ellie just nodded and admitted it was her fault since she disappeared that night. Forgetting she was with EJ. Ellie apologized about that.

"By the way... Uhm... I was wondering if you would want to join me later at lunch?" Then Ellie remembered.

"Oh, the assignment. I totally forgot about that. We should do it after class."Ellie took her notes that they needed to finish. EJ couldn't help but to smirk when he notices Ricky's eyes glued on Ellie and him.

"Since it's due on Friday, we should start the assignment later? Are you free after class?" Ellie scribbled the things that EJ should bring later.

"After class is fine. You're house, right?" Ellie nodded and before she could say any word. Ricky jumped beside her making Ellie caught off guard.

"Ellie, I've been waiting for you. Could you fix my wig for me?" Ricky didn't even turn a glance to EJ, not minding his presence and was about to pull Ellie.

"Didn't you saw we were just talking, Bowen?" EJ gave a glare at Ricky.

"Oh, I didn't noticed you there, Chad." Ellie felt her body tensed up and wasn't sure about the situation she's into. Ej's hand holding Ellie's other hand.

"I think we should discuss our assignment later, EJ. I'll just---"

"See? We're just gonna do our assignment later, Bowen." EJ mocked Ricky and was about to do something. Almost everyone was watching them and Ellie didn't know what to do about it. The two of the boys glaring at each other. Waiting for one to do something.

"Boys, I think you all need to cool up. Since Ellie would be joining me later." Ty said as Ellie was thankful when Ty stepped in. His expression was unreadable but Ellie was sure that it amused Ty on Ellie's position right now.

"You , Bowen fix your hair and you, jock."

"The name is EJ." EJ snapped back at Ty who was showing his sass. Ellie yank both of her hand away from them and followed Ty.

"Don't care. Carlos said that you guys need to finish the pictorial. Then let's get things done and be professional, ey?"

"I'm so embarrassed about earlier." Ellie drank her favorite coffee that Ty bought for her. Since, Ty knew Ellie would calm down if she drinks some coffee.

"Don't be. Cuz it's one of the perks of having a boyfriend like Ricky Bowen. Jealous little Boi bean." Ellie couldn't help but to look down and be guilty. She remembered how she rejected Ty's confession before. As if reading her thoughts, Ty sighed.

"Stop that,okay? Blaming yourself for not liking me back." Ellie stared intently at Ty's expression. His hair is longer than before. The two of the are at the cafeteria eating lunch. But Ellie had barely touched her floor.

"I couldn't help it..." the two of them stood quiet for awhile and Ty couldn't take it anymore. The awkwardness is too much for him to bear. He turned to Ellie who's hand clasped together while looking at it.

"Don't. Just don't make my one-sided love ruin our friendship, Ellie. I told you before, I'm cool with us being friends." Ellie smiled when Ty grabbed her arm towards him. He drew something to her arm. It was one of the little things that he and Ellie do when they were kids.

'I'm fine, really.'

Ellie thanked Ty making Ty smile that Ellie hadn't seen these couple of days. She's lucky and glad to have a best friend like Ty.

"Carlos, Uhm... Where's Miss Jenn?" Ellie couldn't help but to ask since they needed the scene to be finish according to the schedule. And Miss Jenn is missing in action since this morning. Which made Ellie worry. With just a snap they were arguing about the scene wherein Gabriella should be singing sadly when Troy stood Gabriella up for his teammates.

"Okay! Miss Jenn is not here and I don't know whether she'll come back." Carlos blurted out making everyone shock. Then anxiety and worries surfaces to Ellie when she heard what Carlos admitted. They are in big trouble, Ellie thought.

What happened to Miss Jenn?
