-"So, miss Brenda. Welcome to our school"- Mr. Carter said taking her hand –"I hope you can help these students!"-
-"oh! Yes! Yes! I just have to remember one of those breathing exercises I used to do. I had a director who said "If you are not breathing from your ass and reaching to the skies, the back row won't hear you"- Brenda said to him. All the student laughed while the teachers looked a bit worried-"Oh my God! I remember now! I slept with him!"-
-"Everything is almost done"- Tom said looking at Mr. Carter. They had been discussing the play for a while trying to figure out the last issues before the big night.
-"Indeed! The children are ready!"- Brenda said dancing around them. Mr. Carter looked at her oddly and shook walking towards the stage.
-"Lights and special effects as well?"- he said looking around trying to ignore Brenda.
-"Yeah, Maggie found someone to take care of that"- Tom answered him looking at Brenda as if she was drunk. Mr. Carter smiled and turned around to face them –"Great! So what are we missing?"-
Brenda stopped dancing and chuckled looking at Tom –"You are quiet handsome"- she said putting her arms around his neck. Tom shivered and laughed trying pulling her away politely. –"well, why thank you? I'm only 24 though, I'm just a kid"- he said placing himself behind Mr. Carter.
Mr. Carter cleared his throat trying to hide a smile. –"Hm, Brenda! What are we missing?"-
Brenda looked at him and placed her hands in her hips –"Well, we are missing the star!"- She said indignant. Both teachers turned to look at her. Tom rolled his eyes and sighed deeply. Mr. Carter looked surprised and confused –"What do you mean by that? How is the star going to be missing?"-
Brenda shrugged annoyed –"The girl hasn't shown up for rehearsals"- she said. Tom gave another sigh and turned to look at Mr. Carter –"We need to do something with Maya"- he said.
Mr. Carter sighed –"And where the hell has she been then?"- Brenda laughed and both men turned to face her –"Boyfriend maybe?"- Mr. Carter looked at Tom but he just shook his head –"Thierry would actually forced her to come here so she surely was not with him"- Mr. Carter nodded in agreement.
-"Well, as people say 'the show must continue' then"- He said walking towards the stage.
-"Oh sir! Don't worry"- Brenda said –"All the other kids are professionals"- Mr. Carter nodded.
-"Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that"- Tom said looking at something behind them. Both adults turned. An incredible blush Sylvia was practically being held against the wall by an incredible blushed Miles.
-"Looks like the professionals are a bit busy"- Tom said rising his voice. Both teenagers broke apart immediately and apologize before running away.
-"This is going to an interest day"- Mr. Carter mumbled before going away.

-"So? What are you doing tonight?"- Jez asked a very tired Mary-Lynnette. The girls were having their usual coffee outside the campus enjoying the nice weather. As usual in L.A the sun was shining calling them to have a nice day at the beach, but instead they were in school.
-"Hopefully get some sleep"- she said stifling a yawn. Jez frowned –"What the hell have you been doing at night then?"- Mary-Lynnette laughed –"Stargazing"- she said smiling. Jez shook her head and turned to her coffee.
-"So, how are things with Phil?"- She said. Mary- Lynnette smiled –"Things are great I guess, he is really sweet"- Jez rolled her eyes but smiled.
-"Hello ladies"- Bunny said taking a seat next to Mary-Lynnette –"Jez"- she said nodding in her direction. Jez rolled her eyes and ignored her completely.
-"So, I got tickets for the show tonight"- Bunny said looking at Mary-Lynnette –"I hope I am not disappointed"- Just then Jeremy arrived kissing her from behind.
-"Hello there"- he said kissing his girlfriend. Mary-Lynnette looked away and saw Jez staring at her.
-"Hey there Mary-Lynnette"- Jeremy said –"good luck in the show tonight, we'll be watching"- Mary-Lynnette smiled but looked surprised.
-"Are you guys actually coming?"- She asked.
-"Oh yeah" Jeremy said hugging Bunny.
-"Or maybe for the second part"- Bunny said smiling –"Well, break a leg"- she said turning around grabbing Jeremy's hand.
Mary-Lynnette and Jez watched them leave. -"Oh well, I guess I have to show up for rehearsals now"- Mary-Lynnette said standing up slowly. Jez simple nodded and was lost in thought.

-"Where the hell is that...?"- Maggie said trailing off.
-"Late again, I'm guessing"- Eric said frowning. Maggie took two deep breaths before screaming –"Brenda!"-
-"Yes my dear?"- she said looking at Maggie.
-"Maya is not here... again!"- she said exhausted.
Brenda nodded –"You think I have not realized that my dear?"- She said calmly. Maggie felt like stabbing her.
-"Hm, hello? The show is tonight"- She said taking a deep breath.
-"I know"- Brenda said. Maggie shook her head and left.
-"Well done everybody! Wonderful job! Now go and get ready for this big night!"- Brenda said smiling. Everybody started leaving grabbing their bags. The doors opened and Maya came in.
-"Why is everybody leaving? Is it a break or what?"- She said chuckling. Brenda stared at her for a while.
-"No dear, they are leaving because they have to get ready for tonight"- she said –"And you are late Maya... again"-
Maya dropped her bag and went to face the old woman –"Look, I get it, I've been distracted lately but let's be honest... this is just a high school play, I was in television, in movies..."-
-"Yeah well, keep that for yourself"- Brenda said –"I'm worried for you darling"- Maya narrowed her eyes. –"Don't be"- she said smiling madly.
Brenda shook her head –"I'm on your side dear, you can talk to me"- Maya shook her head and tears came to her eyes –"And tell you what? That I woke up 5 am this morning and I went to a commercial television that I know I'm not going to get because I'm too fat, too brunette or too old?"- Brenda stared at her carefully. –"And then it's this!"- Maya said –"and then is you and then are the voices in my head that keep on telling me that I am not trying hard enough!"-
Brenda stood up and held the girl in her arms –"Okay"- she said when Maya let out a sob –"I cannot change what happens out there, but we can change what happens here... I care about you my dear, I care about this play, and I think you can be good"- she said.
-"I am good"- Maya answered her. Brenda shook her head –"and I love a girl with confidence"- Maya smiled shyly. –"So show me what you got"- Brenda said pointing the scenario. Maya ran up there and started singing. Her voice was wonderful and brought back old memories into Brenda's head. She smiled gently and allowed herself to day dream about those days when she had been on the girl's situation.

-"What can it be worst than not knowing who invented Google?"- The blond girl said. The brunette boy laughed, they were having a great time.
-"I don't know but I'm sure that I will Google it as soon as I get home!"- Mark said cheerfully. The girl laughed with him.
-"So, when are you going to finally ask me out?"- She said smiling shyly –"I don't think we are going to keep on finding each other randomly"- Mark smiled shyly, it was the first time a girl suggested him to ask her out.
-"Maybe I don't want to do that"- he said flirting with a playful smile on his lips.
-"I think you do"- she said walking closely.
-"Maybe I do"- Mark said taking her hand. She blushed and looked down to their tangled hands –"Jade..."- he said taking a deep breath –"Would you like to go out with me?"- Jade smiled and looked up –"I thought you would never ask"- she said kissing his cheek.

-"I cannot believe you didn't know who created Google!"- Mary-Lynnette said laughing. Phil was happily holding her hand.
-"I had no idea!"- Philip said laughing –"I cannot believe we use Google and we do not even know who created!"- Mary-Lynnette laughed.
Phil just laughed and hugged her from behind kissing her cheek. The moment was just sweet and for first time since she arrived to that place she felt somehow happy.
-"What are you thinking about?"- Phil said turning her around to face him. She smile and lock her arms through his neck.
-"I'm thinking about you"- she said. He smiled and bent down to brush his lips softly against hers.
-"What a coincidence"- he said. She shivered under his touch –"I was thinking about you too"- She smiled and her heart jumped. He kissed her softly and carefully as if he was scared of breaking her.
-"Sometimes I wish I was blind"- an annoying voice said behind them. They broke apart but Phil kept her hand on his. The blond boy was lying against the door frame looking bored and as if he was about to be sick.
-"Always so charming Ash"- Mary-Lynnette said rolling her eyes. Ash just chuckled.
-"Good afternoon Ash"- Phil said politely –"Coming to the show tonight?"-
Ash rolled his brown eyes to them. –"Why the hell would I waste my afternoon on a school show?"-
Mary-Lynnette rolled her eyes to him and pulled Phil with her. –"Whatever, bye Ash"- she said with a brilliant smile for Phil.

Tom walked towards his classroom thinking about the play. He wondered how Maggie got all the energy she needed to control everything without breaking into tears. Well, I guess that's what you get if you live drinking red bulls, he thought. He took out his keys thinking how he could ask Thierry about Maya without screwing things up even more between them. He felt sorry for him though, Thierry was a nice lad, and he would always give in his homework, and would never give him a hard time.
Tom opened his classroom's door and went in it just to find the school's chancellor talking to old Brenda. I really need to get a lock for that door, he thought ignoring Brenda's flirty smile. –"Ladies"- He greeted them. Sally, the school chancellor looked serious with her sweet face –"Do you have a minute?"- She asked. Tom turned to look at her placing his hands over his hips –"A minute is exactly what I have before the students start coming in"- Sally crossed the room and closed the door then turned around to face them.
-"Brenda is worried about Maya"- she said in her sweet voice.
-"With reason"- Tom said in agreement –"She's been distant, distracted in class, how is she for rehearsals?"-
Brenda took a deep dramatic breath –"The girl is amazing, incredible instincts, fantastic voice..."-
-"But..."- said Sally crossing her arms.
-"But, as you said, the girl is a little distant and distracted"- Brenda said looking at Tom –"though in her defence, she is under intense pressure from pretty much every angle in her life"-
-"do you think she is doing something inappropriate?"- Tom asked. Brenda shook her head quickly –"Oh no! Of course not!"-
-"Maybe we should take her away from the play"- Sally suggested.
-"None sense!"- Brenda said laughing.
-"Brenda"- Sally said as if she was talking to a small kid –"You just said she was under intense pressure"-
-"Yes"- Brenda answered nodding quickly –"And I think that the play is the only thing keeping her off the edge. Look, I can handle this alright? Can you trust me?"-
-"Listen Brenda, the whole thing about being a teacher is being friendly without becoming a friend"- Tom said with the same tone used by Sally.
-"I got this"- Brenda said standing up and walking away.

-"Use protection"- Jez said looking at her dress for after the party after the play.
-"Now that is none sense!"- Mary-Lynnette said slapping her arm friendly. Jez chuckled and shook her head –"I'm just saying, If you end up with a baby, I want you to name it after me, this world needs more people like me"- She said with a huge grin playing in her face.
-"You want me to name my kids Jezebel?"- Mary-Lynnette said raising her eyebrows to her. Jez groaned.
-"Jez"- she said –"I want you to name them Jez"- Mary-Lynnette laughed and sat on the bed in front of her.-"Why are we having this conversation anyway?"- She said drinking her coffee
-"Because you and Phil will probably end up having sex after the play"- Jez said with a shrug. Mary-Lynnette choked. -"Excuse me?"- She said trying to get her breath back.
-"You heard me"- Jez said looking at her funny.
-"We are so not doing that! We've been together for a couple of weeks only!"-
-"So? It's not like you don't want to"- Jez said showing her tongue.
-"Oh yeah! As much as you want to do it with Morgead"- Mary-Lynnette said looking away. Now it was Jez's turn to choke.-"What? Excuse me?"-
-"You heard me"- Mary-Lynnette said with the same huge grin in her lips.
"Touchè"- Jez said looking away –"I'll rephrase what I said previously, Phil is the one who wants to get in your pants"- Mary-Lynnette rolled her eyes.
-"No he doesn't"- She said.
-"Oh, duh? Of course he does! The way he looks at you says it all"- Jez said laughing.
-"Shut up"- Mary-Lynnette said trying to look calm but wondering if Jez's words were true. And even if they were, was she ready for that big step?
-"You've been together for what? 3 weeks? A month?"- Jez said –"I think it's time for him to start pressuring you with that"-
-"That is not funny Jez"- Mary-Lynnette said looking away. Jez frowned –"I never said it was funny! I'm saying this to warn you to be careful. If he tries anything that you don't want to, give me a call and I'll break his face"- She said with a wink. Mary-Lynnette couldn't help but laugh.
A knock in door distracted them. They looked at each other and broke up laughing.
-"Come on in"- Mary-Lynnette said between laughs.
Mr. Carter walked quiet awkwardly into his daughter's room. –"Hey girls, I'm sorry to interrupt you but Mare, it's time for you to get to the play"- he said looking at his daughter. Mary-Lynnette stopped laughing and instead started breathing deeply. Butterflies were all over her belly now.
Jez laughed and collected her things to leave –"Hey! It's going to be okay! What's the worst could happen?"- She said –"That you throw up in front of the audience maybe, or that your dress falls on stage or that..."-
-"Okay!"- Mr. Carter said grabbing her away –"Jez is time for you to go, Mare will meet you after the play"- Jez laughed and left. Mary-Lynnette followed her dad to the car and they drove towards the school.

-"What do I care?"- Ash said with his lips against Bunny's jaw. Her breath was something heavy and fast, especially with Ash's hands all over her.
-"I don't know"- Bunny said brining his lips back to hers. He pushed her brusquely against the wall and kissed her hungrily with the heat from their bodies was making them sweat; Bunny's hand travelled his hard chest while his hands were exploring hers. Bunny let out a moan and Ash took her shirt off. She shivered and started taking his shirt of when her phone rang.
-"Ignore it"- he said still kissing her. She did what he said and kept on kissing him. Her phone rang again and she realized that there was no point ignoring it –"Hold on"- she said breaking apart. Ash gave a long deep sigh before fixing his shirt. Bunny checked the ID and her face went white before ignoring the call.
-"Let me guess"- Ash said with sarcasm –"your dear boyfriend is calling?"- Bunny frowned and left without saying a word.

Mary-Lynnette closed the door's car quickly trying to get away from her dad as soon as possible but luck was not on her side.
-"Mare! Wait a second"- Mr. Carter said catching up with his daughter.
-"Dad! I'm already late, and Brenda is going to kill me, and I'm kind of nervous and yeah..."- she said walking faster.
-"We need to talk about what I heard you talking with Jez!"- he said quickly. Mary-Lynnette gave a big sigh. –"We need to talk about that boy Mare"-
-"His name is Phil dad"- Mary-Lynnette said stopping to face her dad.
-"and he is your boyfriend"- he said.
-"yes, it's possible"- Mary-Lynnette said waving him away –"I'm sorry, but I'm really really late dad"-
-"It's just that I haven't officially met him yet!"- Mr Carter said grabbing her arm. Mary-Lynnette turned to face her dad once again. –"I have not officially met Phil yet"-
-"And you want to spend time with Phil"- Mary-Lynnette said looking at him as if he had lost his mind.
-"Well, yeah"- Mr Carter said looking cool –"I have a great idea!"- he suddenly said –"Why don't we all go out after the play"- Mary-Lynnette nodded and then shook her head. –"It will be like we used to do it in Briar Creek!"-
-"Awesome!"- she said giving him a great smile –"But you know I'm going to the party"-
-"But we can go to a restaurant!"- He said cheerfully.
-"Dad stop! I know what you are doing"- Mary-Lynnette said tiredly.
-"What am I doing?"- Mr Carter said quickly.
-"You don't trust me!"- she said hurt.
-"Oh no! I do! I do sweetheart! I do trust you"- he said grabbing his daughter's hands.
-"then why are we talking?"- she said.
-"Because I do not want you to do a mistake"- he said making her feel as that little girl she used to be –"When it comes to sex..."-
-"No! No!"- Mary-Lynnette said interrupting him and walking away quickly –"I am not having the sex talk right now"- Mr Carter looked at her incredulous.
-"no!"- He said –"No! Mare!"-
-"Dad!"- she said turning around to look at him –"you either trust me or you don't, and it's really sounding like you don't"- she said with hurt through her eyes.
Mr Carter sighed heavily and watched at her daughter leaving.
