Changed For Good.

Part 6

Dayna was watching the two girls on the stage. She tapped Ally’s arm beside her.
“Something is wrong with them?”
“What do you mean? They look fine to me.”
“No, no.” Dayna sat forward observing the friends’ interaction with each other. “Something is wrong. I think they are going to break up.”
“Wait, what?” Malani overheard as she sat down in front of them. “Who are we talking about?”
“The witches.” Malani glanced over at the two main leads in this production. The best friends were not themselves lately. Malani flicked her hair. “They haven’t spoken to each other all day.”
“Yeah, I noticed they were avoiding each other yesterday in class too.”
“Should we be taking sides?”
“We are not taking sides.” Dayna leaned over the seat in front of her next to Malani. “Does this still have to do with Cam’s girl crush on Laura?”
“Do you think she knows?”
Ally leaned forward, joining in. “Maybe.”
“If she does, Laura doesn’t seem to be that happy about it. I mean, if one of you had a crush on me, I’d be fine.” Dayna observed Malani in front of her. “I think your fucken hot!”
Malani slowly turned her head, raising her eyebrow. “Keep it in your pants, Dayna!”
They laughed. Dayna sighed, observing the long stares Laura and Cameron were giving each other.
“Well, if they are going to break up, I think it’ll happen after the last show. They need each other to get through this. This is their story.”
“Ha, their story alright. Elphie and Glinda.”

Intermission opening night

The slender brunette walked backstage with no problem. She spotted the green-eyed green girl sitting over on one of the light boxes. Then she noticed the pretty girl in her blonde wig pacing over in a quiet corner. A grin came to her cheeks back, tracking to the pacing girl.
Cameron caught movement out of the corner of her eye. She looked at the slim model figure walking toward her. Her long hair was tied up in a shiny ponytail, and she wore her black dress pants and tailored collar blouse confidently. Cameron stopped. Who was she?
The girl stopped in front of her. A charming smile came onto her perfect features.
“Hi.” She flirted.
Cameron noticed her eyes trail down to her lips.
“Hi.” Cameron took a moment to observe this attractive young woman. She had an idea who this was. “You must be Lucy?”
“Ha.” The girl laughed, her cheeks bringing the brightness to her soft brown eyes. “Well, I can’t blame you for looking me up. I’d be curious, too.” She brought her lips together, biting them softly as her eye looked Cameron over.
Cameron smiled to herself. She understood now why Laura hadn’t introduced them before. Lucy was...she looked her over, confident.
“Have you seen the female green hulk? I can’t believe I can’t find that?”
“Yeah, she’s probably over there somewhere?” Lucy noticed the tone in her voice. Laura still hadn’t told her, huh?
“Cool.” Lucy smiled back. “Ah, how long is the break?”
“twenty minutes.”
“Ok.” Lucy raised her eyebrow, starting to walk back. “Hey, um, Chica Bella, you're pretty amazing out there. Always preferred vanilla to mint fresh.”
Cameron laughed. At least Lucy was making an effort to talk to her.

“Poo, something smells like..witch!”
Laura looked over seeing the figure walking toward her. She smiled. “At least I don’t smell like be-arch!”
“Ouu harsh, Jordy!” Lucy walked into a green hug.
“Thanks for coming, Luce.”
“Hey, how could I miss this outstanding award-winning performance? I’ve gotta ensure I’m investing in talented friends here, right?”
“Yeah, well, I would have kicked your arse if you hadn’t anyways.”
“That’s true.” Lucy laughed. She looked around them. “So where’s the girlfriend? I can’t wait to hug that!”
Laura sat up straight. “Hey, no! You are not going anywhere near her.”
Lucy looked back over her shoulder at Laura. There it was.
“You haven’t told her, have you?” She saw her roll her eyes before looking down at her feet. “What are you doing, Laura?! You have been stringing that girl along for way too long as it is!”
Laura looked up at the brunette standing in front of her. “Luce, I am going too, I promise! Just after this is over. I couldn’t bear to be standing up on that stage with her, knowing she hates me; just give me till then, please.”
Lucy searched her friend’s face. She’d known her long enough. She stood straight, nodding as she put her hands on the sitting girls’ shoulders.
“Look, Jordy...” She searched her eyes. Her brows creased. “I know this will be hard hearing, but you’re quite good up there on that stage.” A smirk came to her lips. “I could possibly develop a crush on a green girl.”
Laura pushed her not impressed with her sarcasm. “But in all honesty, the blonde Witch is more my type.” She watched Laura’s face as she started backing away. “So if you’re not going to mark your territory, Witch, she’s fair game, you hear!”
