T W E N T Y :

"We're so sorry we didn't get your messages," Charlie apologised sincerely as they were let into the set of self-indulgence for the third time. They were too busy getting their gnashers around their gigantic sandwiches that they hadn't even thought about checking their phones. 

Henry just chuckled and shook his head in understanding, he knew that they were here to explore as-well-as help out with the show so he couldn't blame them for not having WiFi.

Everyone was sat down on the sofas waiting for the director and Henry to tell them what was going on, the quartet were so confused as to why they wanted them back on set, they thought they were only needed for one thing and that one thing was the music. The rest of the actors had been filming this series of the show since late September, with a break in December, it was kept very under-wraps by everyone because they wanted it to be a surprise, sure fans had seen them out together but they didn't know they were mid-filming.

The more dramatic filming process started in January, it was all the scenes that needed special effects from this year, hence the explosions and over the top bloodied faces. Charlie was talking to Ajay about their music and what influenced them to make such statements in their music whilst Alex conversed with Evan and Tom about how long they'd been acting for and what made them want to become actors, Joe was talking to Elle and Aray about living in America and what it was like compared to the UK, Oak was talking to Harrison asking about Eoin and if he was feeling any better.

"Sorry, to ask again, but would any of you four like to do a large monologue?" Henry asked the four band members who all looked up at him in sync.

Oak looked around frantically at the other three in hopes one of them would say something, they all just stared at her "I'd love to but I'm no good at acting," She said in an apologetic tone even though deep down she wanted to do it, Henry nodded incomprehension, he knew they were musicians but he and the director wanted to add one of their characters deeper into the series to show that they were actual characters.

"She's lying, she got a distinction in her Acting A-level," Charlie said whilst looking at his friend with a cheeky grin, he hated how she always underestimated herself to the point where she'd back out of things.

Oak glared literal daggers at him "You always do this. . ." She said under her breath but he heard her and chuckled. It was twice he'd done that now since they got here and ultimately she was kind of grateful but she also wanted to punch him in the arm. 

In A-levels Oak studied Acting, Music and Sociology thankfully, she passed them all with a distinction in Acting a Distinction Merit in Music and a 'B' in Sociology. Despite her getting the qualifications she wanted she hadn't yet used them, partly because she only finished them just over eighteen months ago.

Charlie studied Music and got a Distinction Merit as well, Maths and just scraped a 'D' he didn't expect it to be as bloody hard as it was and managed to get a 'B' in Economics—he was very surprised considering he bloody hated it.

Alex because he was smart got told to take four A-levels which were Music, Physics, Politics and Statistics; in music, he got a Merit Merit because he was told he couldn't play the bass, which was his strongest instrument, in Physics he got a 'C'—he didn't enjoy it in the slightest and was the one he cared about the least, in Politics he got a 'B' which he was happy about because the bands' music was mainly based around said topic and finally in Statistics, he got a 'C' again, he wasn't too fussed about it, he just did it because he was advised to.
