Olivia Rodrigo is only 15 and can't believe the opportunity she's been given. She has booked the role of Nini in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series!
What will happen when she and her costar have some sort of connection from the audition ro...
You mean to tell me that One Direction's History music video is FIVE years old?? I knew that in the back of my head already, but it's starting to sink in. Wow... five years.

Olivia I can't believe my ears. Ethan, someone I've known for years, someone who has so much of my trust, someone that I love did all this. My head's going in circles with all this new information. All of a sudden it's like I have tunnel vision, and the only thing I can focus on is Ethan being behind the reasons for Josh almost dying. And let's not forget multiple times.
The call ends, and I come out from behind the trailer I was hiding behind.
3rd POV Ethan turns around to be met with a hot-headed Olivia. If looks could kill, he'd be dead and slowly sinking further into the ground. If Utah wasn't so cold, her head would probably be flaming.
"How..." Ethan swallows the lump in his throat from fear, "how long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to know about your little... 'plans'," she said, walking towards him.
He couldn't lie to himself anymore; he was terrified. "Listen, before you get all mad-" She cuts him off with laughter.
"Before? BEFORE!?! There is no 'before'!! I'm furious with you!! How could you do this?! You are one of the people I trust most in my life. And you go behind my back and do this!!? What kind of thought process do you have to have to think any of what we've been through was even remotely ok?!!"
"Just let me explain," he tries to reason.
"Explain? You must think I'm the dumb one in this situation. What's there to explain?! You knew about some psycho going after Josh and did nothing. You could've warned me about the hike. You could've warned me about the lake. You knew his food at Yellowfinn was poisoned, and you just sat there and watched him eat it!!"
Ethan knew there was no point in talking; the safest option was just to let her yell at him.
"Hold on, I'm starting to put pieces together. Why didn't I realize this sooner?" she says, throwing her hands in the air. "You're jealous."
He is almost shocked at this. Olivia laughs a little at his stunned expression. "I am not," he states, his voice getting higher in pitch.
"In case you forgot, I've known you for a few years too. You're lying. I can't believe it. I can't believe I didn't see this sooner," she scoffs. "You were acting weird at the airport before I left; you were acting weird during that FaceTime call when we first got back from our hike; and, when Matt wanted to tell me about Josh being sick at Yellowfinn, you eyed us as we were walking away," she lists.
"Liv, please." He tries reaching for her hand, but she pulls back before he can even get close.
"I don't wanna hear it. I don't care about what you thought you were doing. I don't care what your intentions were. The point is you did it. You did what you did. And I certainly don't give two shits about what you have to say for yourself!!"
It was his turn to be stunned by her words. Olivia is not one known for coarse language. This isn't her first time cussing, but it was so out of character for her.
"You can either leave this place, go back to California, and never bother me or anyone I associate with again, or security can escort you away," she said through gritted teeth.
"Babe, listen. Just-"
"Don't babe me. Take your pick."
He wanted a chance to at least say something apologetic to her. But that clearly wasn't happening anytime soon.
"Guess you've made your choice." She turns on her heel to go get Tim to have him taken away, but Ethan grabs her wrist to turn her back to him.
"No, I want to fix what I've done."
"Fix what you've done? Fix what you've done!?" She almost starts laughing at him again. "What do you mean!? You can't go back in time and reverse what you've let happen. Now get out of Utah and get out of my life!!!"
Olivia tries to get away, but his grip is firm. They both know he's stronger than her, but that doesn't change her hard expression.
"I'll leave on my own and never speak to you again if you'll give me the chance to speak now," he pleads. She tries to get away, but his grip only gets tighter.
"Here's your chance," Olivia says with a fake sweet voice and a fake smile. "Talk to concrete!!" She knees him in the stomach, making his grip slip.
While he's doubled over, she runs into the school and tries to find everyone.

A quick chapter of Olivia losing her sanity with Ethan😂. What'd you think? This might be my new favorite chapter, don't know yet. What's yours?
This is the shortest chapter I've done in a while. 779 words. My last chapter with less than 1000 is chapter two with 674. I find writing for this book easier than A New Friend because of how many words pile up in these chapters without me noticing. Most of my chapters in that book are close to or less than 1000.
Quick reminder to know that no harm is meant for anyone in this book. I'm going to continue to do this every time I use him as the villain.
