NOTE: I have friends from out of state visiting this weekend so I probably won't have much time to write, but I'll try my best! Hope this chapter can hold u over;) anyway this chapter is dedicated to Elaina because she lowkey predicted a lot of it LOL enjoy!

"Do you think Gigi is gonna ruin me now? I said I was sorry!" It was the class after lunch now, and Crystal was still freaking out about everything that had gone down.

"Nobody has tried to beat Gigi out for the musical in years," Jackie informed her.

"I wasn't trying to beat her! I would never do that. I just want to stay on her good side, really!"

"Crys, calm down. Why do you want to be on her good side so bad anyways? It's not like she's some goddess or something," Jackie laughed. Crystal begged to differ, but chose to say silent.

It would be pointless to try to argue with Jackie: Jackie would always win. Jackie was smart and stubborn and persuasive, but also very welcoming. So far, she was Crystal's only friend at East High. Unless you count Kyle, but she knew him before so that was a little different. Crystal felt a little bad for not joining the art club like Jackie so desperately wanted her to. Even if she wanted to focus on settling in, she still felt bad.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by a her phone vibrating in her back pocket and swiftly pulled it out to see who could be texting her.

Kyle: so i guess everyone knows ab the singing thing now

Crystal: yea...we caused a whole food fight LOL

Kyle: guess we did.. id say that makes us a pretty powerful duo :)

Crystal: i mean not necessarily in a good way but i guess so hahah

Kyle: yea this sucks, im just glad i have u to go through all of it with;))

Crystal paused before typing back. Winky faces?? He was probably just joking around, right? She shook it off and wrote back.

Crystal: lmaoo yeah. gtg now. ttyl.

She didn't actually have to go, the teacher didn't care if they used their phones, but she didn't feel the need to continue their conversation.

She zoned out while staring at a little red stain on her sleeve, tomato sauce. From wiping it off of Gigi. Gigi. Why was she thinking so much about Gigi?? Before she could dive further into her thoughts, the bell rang.

Kyle found her in the hallway and walked her to her next class. And the next one after that the period after. And all of her classes the next day...and the day after that...and after that..for the whole rest of the week. It wasn't that Crystal didn't enjoy the company or like talking to Kyle, she just preferred to walk alone with her thoughts in the halls. But Kyle didn't seem to pick that up no matter how many hints she dropped, so she gave up and just talked with him on the way to each class. They made small talk about their days and about the callback.

"We should start practicing with Jaida soon if we are really gonna do this," Kyle stated. Now that everyone knew anyway there was no point in not going through with it.

"Yeah i agree, I'll talk to her! We can practice during free period."

And so after talking to Jaida, it was decided that they would begin rehearsing during free period every day, starting the next Tuesday, as Jaida was going on a field trip on Monday.

Soon enough it was said Monday, and Crystal realized that she had not spoken to Gigi since the previous Wednesday when she had scolded her in the bathroom. She had hardly even seen her. But today she would change that. She was determined to get Gigi to explain what she had meant by "easier" and to be nice to her if it was the last thing she did. She just needed to wait for the right moment.
