Ryan's POV

How long ago had this play actually started? Because it seemed like this had all gone by in a flash, a lot had happened in our week of rehearsals. Jade had amazingly managed to dump Beck and then get back with him a day later. I will never forget the look of shock on people's faces as she yelled across the room.

"What do you care, I'm not your girlfriend anymore!" It was just a bit of a shock to the system, but Aspen and I had to exchange glances, there was no way this would last long. I was just ever so slightly, oh I don't know, amazing, that she had ever even got the guts to say this in the first place. But what a shocker they were back together in what, half a day?

Jamie and I were still going steady though. Wait, why am I narrating my own life again? Maybe I'm the only person that has anything interesting going on in my life. No, that can't be right, we're us there is always something going in our lives, we're like a Soap Opera… but we're in High School. Maybe we're Gossip Girl! Or not… yeah, nowhere near.

Why on Earth am I so bloody hyper today? I'm really sounding like Cat, a lot! Maybe that's because it's my… BIRTHDAY… on Friday! Am I really such a little girl that the idea of my birthday makes me so happy? No I am not, I am Ryan Chadwick. Actually I'm pretty sure anybody reading this already knew that.

Aaah! I almost wanted to get this birthday over and done with so I could get back to my normal self. Get out of that smiley, giggly, glittery, Cat-like world.

I slid round to my locker, catching site of Aspen and Jazz chatting out of the very corner of my eye. As they neared me I finished with my books and waiting for the birthday train to explode. I felt a tap on my back and braced myself, only to find, two very normal looking faces.

"Hey, what's got you so happy?" Aspen asked, a confused smile lingering on her face, as the smile on mine very quickly dissolved. As hard as I tried not to I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, that they had forgotten. But my life had been pretty much perfect for the last two weeks; I had a perfect guy who I had very honestly been crushing on for approximately two years. And he was happy too; he really did have a reason to be like that though. The pure joy every time he was around Maddie now was enough to put a smile on anybody's face.

So I think compared to all of that awesomeness, people forgetting my birthday means absolutely nothing at all, does it. So what's that sinking feeling doing in my stomach?

"Ryan?" Okay, sometimes I forget time doesn't just decide to stop when I'm thinking.

"It's nothing…" I forced that grin back onto my face. It didn't matter anyway.

"I think I know!" Jazz perked up and for a second I thought she really had remembered it… before she finished.

"It's your two week anniversary with Jamie on Saturday!" Okay… was it stupid of me to think that jumping off on a two week anniversary, but I think I'll stay for the one month one, when something is actually likely to be successful. I think two weeks may be slightly jumping the gun, because I'm pretty sure there will be plenty more.

"Does that mean it is therefore you and Connor's on Friday?" the date on my birthday.

A giant smile formed right on Jazz's face, she was most definitely the kind of person to get really excited over a two week anniversary.

"Maybe…?" She smiled and gave the tiniest giggle about it. As she started to talk about how fantastic it was with Connor I could see the boys slowly creeping up behind Aspen and Jazz, and had to stop myself slowly letting out a laugh to almost mirror Jazz's.

Connor slid his hand across Jazz's waist and she spun around to him, the smile on her face only increasing. They leant in for that first expression of PDA, which it was surprising as hell that they hadn't done yet, but I guess Jazz was just a little bit too shy.

But the bell rang out, and we all massively groaned, before having to eventually head to our individual lessons. It seemed like we always seemed to share lessons, and even now I was looking around for Nikki to go to our R&B Vocals lesson. The only lesson we actually had on our own were are instrumental lessons. I got stuck playing the… wait for it…. Flute! Can you actually imagine me playing the flute? I don't know how my mom managed to rope me into it.

"So see you later?" I asked Jazz and Aspen as they turned and exited as well, nodding as they disappeared giggling. I turned around, deciding that Nikki would have to meet me there and found myself literally two inches from her.

"Leaving without me? How could you?" She smirked and I gave her a glare and turning off down the corridor waiting for her to trail along behind me.

Jamie's POV

"Wait up!" I called running completely late to my electronic music lesson. Yeah, I said that right, electronic music, basically just completely messing with my voice and my music and making it sound completely awesome.

Derek and Connor stopped, looked at me and then decided to walk on, forcing me to actually run to catch them up. I got there panting, I really needed to do more exercise, right now I had no doubt my own girlfriend could beat me up. I may have said that before.

"So you guys free this Friday?" I asked and they smiled knowingly, I guess Jazz and Aspen had already got to them first.

"Definitely, you doing something for Ryan?" Derek asked and I nodded, well at least I hoped we were, but at the moment we had drawn a complete blank on where to throw it. But I knew the type of girl Ryan was and I thought it was very unlikely that if we'd actually asked her she wouldn't have just shot me down immediately.

"Yep, if we can find somewhere to host it" I told him and Derek cracked a smile.

"That would be why my girlfriend absolutely begged me to not say anything at all to Ryan about her birthday and to make her sure I had forgotten it." Connor smirked.

"Why did you tell the girls before you told us anyway?" I knew if I told my twin then everybody would know much quicker than if I had to tell everybody myself. It was amazing to have Maddie back, she'd only been out of her hospital bed for about half a week, (they'd wanted to keep her there for a few days after she'd woken up to make sure she'd okay) but she was already back at school and it feels like she never left. Except I can't forget the pain that the fact she did have to go, caused our family for two whole years.

"Maddie" They nodded with a smile as they knew how much she loved to gossip.

"So did you say you needed a place?" Connor smiled as they headed off to whatever class they had.


That was quite a long chapter, (well not that long) that absolutely nothing happened in, wasn't it? Oh well, it's just a filler, moving on to bigger and better things. But at least I gave Ryan a well-deserved POV this chapter, although unfortunately there was no Jyan, but some will come, that was a really rubbish Jamie POV so we'll get some more. And that brings me on to my question, or rather three questions.

Try to be honest and not just say your own OC that you submitted: anybody without an OC, would you please answer them too. And there isn't really a reason for it, I'm just curious.

Who have you not seen enough off in this story? (Who have I been the most unfair to in terms of POVs and plot-lines and all that)
