The next couple weeks they didn't see much of Melissa, except in some classes, drama, and chem. Club. Then one day…
"Ok is everyone here?" Mrs. Darbus asked.
"No, Melissa isn't here yet." Taylor said.
"Well we can't wait. Kelsi you're her understudy you have to go in."
"She'll be here."
She didn't come.
The next day…
"Hey!" Gabriella said to Melissa.
"Oh a Hi Gabriella."
"Why weren't you at drama club yesterday?"
"Well some things came up and uh I'm not going to be able to make it again today or the next day, and um I'm going to come to the sleepover Friday and…"
"What are you saying?"
"Um Gabriella listen we're much to different to hang out, because I'm a cheerleader and you're not. So bye!"
She walked away.
"What?"
Later…
"Hey!" Ryan said to Melissa.
"Um Ryan. I can't see you anymore."
"Why?"
There was a silence.
"This is where you say it's not me it's you."
"No Ryan it's because you, I can't be seen with a drama club member, I'm a cheerleader. Bye."
The group decided to have a secret meeting.
The meeting…
"I can't believe that Melissa broke our friendship. After all we've been though."
"Why is she acting like this?"
