Melissa had the worst year of her life and by the time July came by the gang hated Melissa. But she kept sane by practicing her part for the musical, in case she needed to know it.
July…
"Some announcements before we start today. First Rent is opening tonight, make sure you come; secondly prom is on the last night of school. Also make sure to vote for prom king and queen, and also our speaker for graduation." Mrs. Darbus said.
After class…
"So are we going to Rent tonight?" Melissa asked hopefully.
"Of course, we all want to see Troy, don't we?"
"Yeah, Troy." Melissa said sadly.
That night…
Ryan was back stage getting ready.
"Come on Ryan, she'll come, she'll come. That's right she isn't going to let you down."
Then he heard his cue.
He went on, he didn't see Melissa with the other cheerleaders.
"She's coming!" he thought.
The Tango: Maureen Scene…
Ryan walked in.
"Hello?" He asked the girl.
She turned around.
"You're Mark?" said the girl.
"Joanne?"
In the audience…
"You finally back from the bathroom!" Matya said.
"Sorry!" Melissa said.
"Joanne?" She heard Ryan said.
She could tell he was angry because she wasn't there, instead Kelsi was.
Back on stage…
The music started.
Everyone put so much passion in it mostly Ryan and Gabriella. Melissa knew that they were all talking to Her.
The next two days she went to both shows.
Then the next day before the 4th of 12 shows Matya told the girls her special "plan" for Gabriella.
