"what're you doing here?" joshua hugs roxanne as she walks in the door. "she's my plus one." olivia follows in after. "you're welcome" olivia winks to joshua. "cmon let's go see the rest of them" joshua grabs roxannes hand. roxanne feels a sudden rush she didn't feel before. she smiles and continues walking with him. "roxanne!" they yell as she walks in the room. "holy shit you look so good" sofia smiles hyping roxanne up. "not as good as me" matt jokes.

"i'm fashionably late!" frankie yells walking to the house. everyone runs to see him, and he is dressed really nice. "everyone, i have each of you an outfit picked out. i just scored us tickets to the grammys." he smiles. "oh, roxanne. you're here, i um i didn't know-" he says but gets interrupted. "no no it's okay! you guys go have fun." the girl smiles. they all rush down to frankie to get their outfits and get styled, etc, except for joshua. "i'm gonna stay with you" he says to roxanne. she shakes her head. "joshua you're going to the fucking grammys" she laughs as if it was obvious. "no. i wanna stay with you." he looks down to her. "so you're saying, you want to ditch the GRAMMYS for me?" roxanne slightly smiles, furrowing her eyebrows at him. "yes. that's exactly what i'm saying" he smiles. "but why? it's the grammys." she asks again. "because, although you don't show it, i know you wanna go tonight. and you can't, because you're not one of us or whatever, but that doesn't matter. bc i could care less about the grammys when it comes to you" he smiles. she smiles back.

"joshua!" sofia tells. "u coming?" she says as the two walk down the stairs. "me and roxanne are just gonna stay behind. sorry guys" sofia looks at him like he's insane. "so you're not going to the grammys?" they all look at him. except olivia, her eyes are on roxanne. roxanne makes eye contact with olivia and she signals her to walk in the room beside them. the two sneak off. "so joshuas staying behind for you?" she smiles. "yeah" roxanne replies, looking at olivia. "i told you he liked you." olivia smiles. roxanne slightly smiles too, but for some reason her heart is going a million different ways. "tell him tonight." olivia says. "no." roxanne says. "why?" olivia looks confused. "i just don't want to, scared to in a way" roxanne looks at him from the room they're in. "he's joshua bassett." she laughs. "yeah he is. he would never hurt you. he's joshua bassett. joshua the soft babie bassett" olivia slightly nudges roxs shoulder. the two smile and head back to the others.

"where were you?" julia asks. "just talking" they say in sync. "okay" she laughs. "you guys! go get ready!" frankie yells at everyone. joshua and roxanne sit on the couch, her head on his shoulder, scrolling through twitter. suddenly olivia yells roxannes name. "i'll be right back" she smiles and gets up. "whaaaaat" roxanne struts into the bathroom that olivia is in. "holy shit" her eyes go wide and her jaw drops. "you look so good oh my god olivia" she smiles. (olivia is wearing the gold power suit she wore to the maleficent premiere. u can look it up if u want)
olivia smiles. "i can't believe i'm going to the fucking grammys" she laughs. "i know!" roxanne smiles. "cmon guys!" joe yells from the front of the house. "wishing i was ur escort" roxanne laughs. "me too." olivia smiles. "bye guys!" joshua and roxanne say bye to the rest of them. "so. you wanna order pizza and watch movies? orrrr do you wanna go somewhere?" joshua looks at roxanne. "movies!" she laughs, running up the stairs to the movie room. joshua follows behind. "let's watch highschool musical 3!" joshua says, plopping next to roxanne. "simply the best one." roxanne smiles.

suddenly joshua stands up. "take my hand" he sings along with the movie. (prom scene, troy is in the lead) roxanne gets up and sings along to gabriellas part. the two dance to the song in front of the screen. by the time the song is over, the two are close as ever. they look into each other's eyes, and Joshua just goes for it. he does what he's been waiting to do. he kisses her. roxanne smiles through the kiss, kissing him back. "looks like we know who the #postanddelete was about now" joshua jokes. "SHUT UP OH MY GOD" roxanne says, going back to the couch.
