Lauren walked through the door and closed it behind her, she faced the door and she kept her hand on the handle. When she turned around Jaime was looking at her with a quizzical look to which Lauren replied with a shrug and a tilt of the head. She walked to her room and lay on her bed, she instantly regretted what she had just done, however, it had to be done, and she didn't like Luke anymore. After reflecting on how she had done it and what his reaction was... she got some sleep.
Lauren woke up early and checked her alarm clock it read '6:30' exactly, because she had StarKid rehearsals at half seven she got out of bed and got changed in a comfy, rehearsal outfit, then went into the kitchen where Jaime was already making breakfast.
"Hey Lauren, you sleep well?"Jaime asked while pouring herself a bowl of corn flakes.
"Yes thanks, you all ready for rehearsals today?" Lauren said in reply while poring herself the same cereal.
"Yeah, I think I heard Nick say that we're practicing from the beginning of the play to just after the Mosquito brothers chase February off the stage." Jaime said while giving Lauren a little annoying smile "which means that you have to talk to Joey but as Bugette" she continued with the same annoying smile, Jaime knew what her feelings were towards Joey because they were best friends, practically sisters. Lauren play punched her in the arm. Once they had had their breakfast, they went to rehearsals.
As soon as they walked through the door Brian walked up to them and instantly noticed that Lauren was down, however, Lauren wasn't paying much attention she was too busy looking around the room for Joey. Then she spotted him. The other side of the room, looking at the props that they needed for the part that Jaime said that they were rehearsing.
"Earth to Lo Lo?" Brian said as he waved his hand in her face.
"Huh... What?" Lauren said as she finally looked away from Joey but looked at Brian instead.
"I was just asking where Luke is. He's usually here with you?" He asked with curiosity.
"Well... Er... I dumped him yesterday, so er... He won't be coming here anymore." She said awkwardly.
"Oh, okay." Brain said and patted her on the arm in a friendly, comforting way.
"OKAY, PLACES EVERYONE!" Shouted Matt, they all ran to their places, the only person onstage was Joey and Lauren felt like she had been given permission to look at him without anyone thinking it was weird. The huge TV screen above Joey head turned on and it played the intro which included Chris Allen, Devin Lytle, Tyler Brunsmen, Richard Campbell, AJ Holmes and other StarKid actors, this was all recorded previously. Then when the volume had muted and 'I Wanna Be' begun, Joey started singing in the voice that made Lauren go weak at the knees, so she sat down on a seat that was just behind her, to avoid awkwardness with any of the StarKid actors that were around her. Once Joey had sung the beginning of the song Lauren forgot where she was and her eyes just seemed to follow Joey around the stage but not hearing a word of what anyone was saying, she just stared at him with hopeless longing and she knew she shouldn't because she just broke up with Luke. Lauren was sat there singing along and she thought to herself that she loved the Harry Potter reference in the song. As soon as Brant entered the stage, Matt shouted.
"CUT!" Nick and Matt both walked over to where Brant stood and gave him different ideas on how to enter, after several attempts, Joey walked over to Brian and Jaime and spoke to them for a while, then Jaime pointed at Lauren which she pulled a quizzical look at then when Joey turned around she looked down at the floor still sat on the seat. Next thing Joey was sat on the seat next to her.
