'Betrayal'
Flynn stood behind the DJ booth at the high school, while Julie sat disappointed on the floor behind the curtains. Everyone seemed to be having fun on the dance floor, but were no doubt waiting for Julie and her hologram band's performance.
As Julie fiddled with the 'hologram projector', Flynn placed the headphones down and walked over, "I can only stall for so long. It's eleven o'clock. I think you should just play by yourself."
"You saw me the other day. I can't play without them. They'll be here," Julie insisted, but the pit in her stomach told her otherwise.
Flynn sighed and tapped her wrist before walking back towards her DJ booth, "Looking good, Bobcats."
"Issues," Julie jumped at the sound of Nick's voice.
"Always. My machine won't work," he sat down beside her and grabbed the projector, inspecting it for any telltale signs of malfunction. "You don't have to―"
He gave her a quizzical look and she lowered her hands; he grabbed the cord and pulled at it, leading into Julie's hand, "Here's . . . the problem."
Julie sighed and looked away, both embarrassed and ashamed, "That is unless you didn't want it plugged in."
He held out a hand for her to take and helped her off the floor, believing she was only nervous to perform.
"Hey, don't let this crowd freak you out. What I saw last time you played was insane. You got this," she smiled. "I knew you had it in you."
"Wait. What?!" Julie's eyes widened as he walked over to the booth and took the microphone.
"Hey! Everybody! We fixed the hologram thing. Who wants to see a show?!" The crowd of students cheered, eager to finally see what was promised. "Now. . . . Give it up . . . for Julie and the Phantoms!"
Julie walked slowly toward Nick and took the microphone, "Uh, hi. So, here's the thing . . . even though we got the machine fixed, thanks to Nick . . . I can't seem to link up with the others. Wi-Fi, am I right?"
In the corner of the gym, a familiar blonde appeared, her heart skipped as she waited for the remainder of the band to appear. Their eyes met, she gave her a pleading look, but the boys' absence beside her gave her the only answer she needed. They bailed.
Her smile fell and she looked down before picking her gaze up to the expectant sea of students, "I'm sorry, but . . . I'm gonna have to cancel."
