Casey sighed. "Remember how we logged that the system was acting a bit slow and funky during both parts of 'All I Ask of You' last night?"
Valentina nodded. "A minor bug that needs recalibrating, yes. And?" she muttered through gritted teeth.
"And, get this - downstage cable B isn't releasing on cue."
This day couldn't get any worse.

As a stage manager, all Valentina Morgan wants to do is have a normal day at work - no whining actors, no crazy audience members, no technical malfunctions. After an awful night's sleep and an even more awful morning, she just wants to go through the motions without any issues.
But when you work on Broadway, there's a fat chance that'll happen.

Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me ✓
"So this was all just a game to you . . .this whole time, you pretended to like me in order to humiliate me in front of the entire school?" An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug. The sudden urge for revenge became a prominent priority. He regarded me passively. "It's not my fault that you fell for me in the first place." he justified as he advanced my way, closing the gap between us. Unstably, I strode backwards on the concrete. ". . .stay back." I whimpered. "You're nothing but cold hearted." ·•● Two years ago, Emery Roy was tragically exposed to what some could call an intense betrayal all thanks to the originator - Dean Darnell.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016Complete
Anastasia - A Retelling
Anya, a girl suffering from amnesia, doesn't remember her past. Her only clue to it is to go to Paris. She teams up with two crooks: Dmitry and Vlad, to escape Russia and go to Paris. To do that, Anya must impersonate the lost Princess Anastasia. But what she didn't know was that a long time pursuer is tailing her to kill Anastasia. --- This is kinda not(?) a fanfiction, but a retelling of a mashup of Disney and Broadway's Anastasia. In playwriting format. --- This is me trying to incorporate all the best scenes (imo) from both the Disney and Broadway stories of Anastasia. eg. Crowd of Thousands, In My Dreams, the love triangle from the BW musical and the magical villian, better plotline, and better ending. Im not sure whether people would actually read playwriting, but since this is the first time ive ever finished something, i might as well post it lol Well, I hope my audience would enjoy my work nonetheless, no matter how nerdy it is.... --------------------- Sources i have used to produce this: Disney's Anastasia: the movie (1997) ofc the movie's script -- https://imsdb.com/Movie%20Scripts/Anastasia%20Script.html Broadway's Anastasia a convenient slime tutorial of the thing on YouTube the playwriting transcribed by Erin Flanagan-- https://www.scribd.com/document/403641219/Anastasia-The-New-Broadway-Musical-LIBRETTOComplete
My boss is my freaking Ex?!!!
I, Abigail "Abby" Wilson had no choice but to find a job A.S.A.P as I was kicked out of our house when my grumpy grandmother have had enough of my jobless lazy ass just partying, shopping, and getting drunk. The last straw was when I thought that my grandmother would not be home from a cruise and decided to throw a wild pool party at our house. Just when the party was getting hot my grandmother came home furious and kicked my friends---well, some I didn't even know---out of the house including my sorry Lil ass. I begged and told her that I'd change, but she didn't listen. She said that I could only come back when I proved to her that I'd changed. Well.. To hell with that! Now, I was unwillingly here in the executive office of the CEO of Hamilton Electronics &TelCom International Corp (HETIC); Alexander Hamilton as his executive assistant. I gaped in surprise as the boss whom I'd be working with starting today, sitting impassively on his expensive leather swivel chair was no other than my ex-boyfriend Alex back in high school who just decided to disappear without telling me! What would Abby do? She'd already signed a two-year contract and she couldn't afford to pay the breach of contract as of now. Could she work with him knowing that they had a past? And what was with his attitude? It seemed like he had a secret grudge toward her that she could hardly comprehend. I guessed she had to find that out for herself.Complete
Broadway Blue
"Blue was immediately in awe, the cadence of each syllable dripping with wit and power. As he performed, something changed in Gael. The normally charming and confident guy became something else, blindingly brilliant and dauntless. He was a worthy opponent to the difficult words he was spouting, letting them flow in a way that almost hurt Blue's brain trying to keep up. He spoke so clearly to make sure every single morsel was able to be digested, which only impressed everyone further. Then he began to sing. His voice rang out to continue the verse in a slow and methodical melody. As he slowed down, his eyes caught Blue's just for a second, then he looked away again. She felt almost embarrassed, as though she had walked in on a private moment between him and the lyrics." * * * * * A costume designer named Blue has been working on Broadway for years, but this show is the first one that has the magic to really make an impact on the theater world forever. The creator of the show is a smooth flirt that fills her with an unexpected passion and changes her life forever, both professionally and privately. As she embarks on this creative journey with him, she never would have expected where it would lead her. * * * * * (Note: This originally started as a Hamilton fanfic, but I changed everything around and made it stand on its own :) so if you're into Hamilton fanfic but are looking for something different, like I was, then hopefully you'll like this story! The male lead is based on Lin-Manuel Miranda and the show is based on Hamilton - the female lead is an original character. See if you can spot all the Hamilton references throughout!)Complete
