"WHAT THE HELL?" ELLIE SCRAMBLES ON HER FEET AS SHE WENT INSIDE MR. MAZZARA. But of course, he's in his class. Ellie sighed, she was planning on asking what occurred to him to do such a thing. There she saw a bright and unnoticeable picture of Ms. Jenn.

"Ms. James, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to speak with you, Sir." Ellie stood there with a hint of desperation of wanting to bring back Miss Jenn.

Ricky sat on Big Red's couch, thinking of what was about to happen. It was a shocking since they don't know what was gonna happen to Miss Jenn and the musical.

Big Red and Ricky stayed quiet for awhile. It was Big Red who broke the silence.

"What is gonna happen?" Ricky looked down on his phone waiting for someone to update him. He shrugged and took a deep breath. He remembered Nini, of how important this is for Nini.

Ricky was deep in thought not noticing that Big Red welcomed a few peeps in his room. Ricky waited for Ellie to show up but his eyes met Nini's. Her eyes scanned the room and left on Ricky. Nini gave her a smile that Ricky didn't reciprocate.

"I'm mad at Miss Jenn." Carlos blurted out. Nini sat beside Ricky since there was no available seat.

"So, how's holdin up?" Ricky knew what Nini meant and shrugged in response.

"Everything's going well. Between Mom and Dad. Nothing to worry about." EJ gazes at Ricky and Nini who was in conversation. And notices how different Nini look at Ricky. Nini would never look at him like the way she looks at Ricky.

There was a hint of disappointment on Nini's expression.

" I'm mad at Miss Jenn. " Ellie walked in making everyone stop in their thoughts. Ricky smiled seeing the sight of her. She has this thing of whenever your in a room of people, you'll never fail to notice her bright presence.

"Because she's giving up." Carlos and Ellie said in chorus. Ellie's eyes met Nini and Ricky who was sitting beside each other and felt that uncomfortable feeling. But shook the thought away, since they need to focus on what matters most. Miss Jenn.

Then there's the heatfelt moment that the whole class shared. Ellie couldn't bear the thought of not being able to perform the play just as Miss Jenn's plan.

"Honestly, the reason why I'm still pursuing and giving all my best is because Miss Jenn gave me a shot. She believes in me more than I believe in myself." Carlos admitted staring down at his hands.

It would be really hard for Carlos, Ellie thought. Ellie couldn't bring herself not to smile a little as she saw Seb's hand holds Carlos hand, comforting him with all his heart. Seeing Carlos sad and lost for the very first time made it like a double burden heavy on Seb's chest.

"She gave me a voice." Nini confessed and Ellie could see how Nini grew from being such a shy girl who's good at math and all to a courageous and brilliant woman. Ellie imagined herself being like that but of course that imagination were all just blurry and impossible to her mind. Kourtney made a comment after that but Ellie couldn't bring herself to hear it since Ricky approached her and stood beside Ellie.

"Okay does anyone in here actually care about her past is a little bit sketchy?" Ashlyn tries to calm the atmosphere.

"I do." Ellie turned to Ricky with a look.As if reading her mind Big Red warned Ricky. Ricky noticed it but didn't mind it.

"She put our show in jeopardy," Ricky walked as he spoke making all of the whole class attention is on him.

"and now we're all here. Maybe for the last time." it would be a heartbreaking for Ellie since she somewhat been attached with the class and after all the years she depleted her one thing that she loves to do brings her the brightest and exciting things that she couldn't experience before.

" This has become..." Ricky couldnt say the word and Ellie knew what he's meaning to say.

" A family." Ellie said with a heartwarming smile. Ricky nodded and looked down.

"What team?"

" Wild Cats." everybody said in chorus. Each and everyone aims for one goal. And that is to bring back Miss Jenn back.

"So Wild Cats, what are we gonna do about it?"
