Beatrice "Bea" Masters has been her theater department's wonderkid ever since she became the stage manager when she was just a freshman. But after the fiasco that was last year's musical (which was not her fault), Bea has been dying for redemption. And since she's a senior, her school's spring production of Little Shop of Horrors is her last chance. 
  
  But just as rehearsals are about to start, Bea's best friend/assistant stage manager, Lennon, quits. Now Bea has to deal with Len's replacement (who she didn't even get to choose), Noah Ramirez. All in all, she has a long way to go before she's able to put on the great show she's been dreaming of.

Showmance by tangles-

Showmance: a romance/relationship that is started during the production of a play or musical. Very common in, but not limited to, high school shows. Len (short for Lennon) and Eric meet under interesting circumstances. She has just been roped into being her friend's "Girl Friday" (AKA assistant stage manager) and he was somehow convinced by his twin, Sophie, to do the sound design for their high school's production of Beauty and the Beast. United by their inability to understand musicals, the two help each other navigate the politics of the tech crew, which cast members to avoid, and the rules of showmances. Although neither had ever heard of the word, they learn it's just part of the package when they find themselves in one. And just because the show is obviously going to be a failure, does their relationship have to be? *cover by @worriedly*

| 8𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 · A YA Beauty and the Beast gender-swapped retelling. Bit of a Stranger Things vibe going on, too! Life was going mega well for Beatrice-Bea Laurent, a soon-to-be 18-year-old certified Insta star slash posh gal. She was spending every waking breath throwing parties, and dodging responsibilities. Until one fateful day when an Instagram scandal has her parents banish her from New York to New Town. Next thing she knows, she is cursed by a creepy old lady and is... changed. She starts growing fur, claws AND fangs! *** Beatrice Laurent is your average posh teen girl, who goes to classes when she feels like it. Which is basically... never. She spends her days lounging on her couch, staring at her phone screen, sharing fab life insta stories with her "friends," and sliding into their dms. Dodging real life responsibilities left and right, she does nothing, yet has everything. And, she has no problem with that. In fact, she enjoys it. Chartering planes-check. Private yachts-check. Designer duds-check. No expectations, no responsibilities, no worries. But that all ends when Beatrice gets grounded and banished from New York to New Town. Cherry on top: she is cursed by a creepy old lady at a party she threw! Suddenly she is friggin' growing fur, claws and other feline attributes, and having the incredible urge to roar and pursue tiny rodents. What's a girl to supposed to do when she involuntarily transforms into a beast and can't attend classes no more? Can Bea count on Ross Thorne, a bookish classmate who is struggling to stop living in his older brother Gus' shadow... To keep her secret? And perhaps aid her in the un-cursing when their budding affection becomes more than apparent? © 2022 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad

A New Friend by ILoveCookie3

When a heartbroken Nini is finally ready to hang out with her friends again, she realizes it's going to be a lot harder than what she prepared for. Was she ready to see Ricky again? No, not at all. Was she going to let that stop her from having a social life? Eh, maybe. The last thing she thought of was meeting his newest friend that wasn't too friendly. I am obsessed with these people (if you couldn't tell); the characters and actors. Characters belong to Disney; the storyline is mine. New chapters every Friday starting May 8, 2020.

Straight To You by cammie_grace

"And it took me a while to realize it, but everything I've had to go through in this life, all the pain and sadness I've had to bear . . . well, its led me straight to you." • • • After tragedy strikes Morgan Scott's family, she finds her life changing drastically again and again throughout many failed attempts of starting over. It doesn't seem to matter where Morgan ends up, the secrets and pain of her past continue to haunt her, reminding her that "starting over" isn't nearly as easy as it sounds. Ending up in her father's hometown a few months after the day her life changed forever, Morgan finds her life changing once again, and she only hopes that this time will be for the better. It isn't until after a run-in with the town's golden boy, Jack Crawford, that Morgan realizes no amount of starting over will take away the memories of the past. What Morgan doesn't know is that Jack has a secret of his own that's eerily similar to hers. And what neither of the two know is that their secrets will unintentionally bring them together, reminding the duo that they aren't as alone as they often feel.
