Chapter 8

Maggie continued to look at Jackson

'Jackson is so cute! WAIT! I can't like Jackson! I have Trevor!' Maggie thought

"Guys, I have to go to the bathroom," said Maggie.

Everyone nodded and Maggie stepped into the bathroom.

Maggie calmed herself down by telling her that she had Trevor and he was a great guy, besides, why would Jackson like someone like her?

Maggie stepped out of the bathroom and heard a knock at the door. Roxi opened the door and saw Trevor standing there. Luckily, Maggie was out of view from the doorway. She crouched down and took off her wig. She put it under the bed and stood up.

"Hey Trevor! What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I need to talk to you," said Trevor.

"Do you want me to tell him you are busy?" asked Roxi.

"But she's right here!" said Trevor.

"Not if I say she's not!" said Roxi.

"It's fine Roxi," Maddie said nervously.

Maddie stepped outside and leaned against the wall. Trevor looked at Maddie.

"I'm moving," he said.

"You what?" she asked.

"I'm moving….to Kansas," he said.

"You are?" she asked.

He nodded.

"Well, when are you going?" she asked.

"Tonight, Maddie I am really sorry," he said looking at her.

Maddie looked down and felt a tear slip down her cheek.

"I-I-It's ok," she said trying hard not to cry.

Trevor hugged her and left. No good bye, no I hope to see you again, nothing. He just left.

Maddie turned around and knocked on the door. Ashley opened it.

"Maddie are you ok?" she asked.

"Yeah," she said hugging her, "I'm fine."

"Maddie?" asked Hannah after Ashley ran away screaming from Oliver who was trying to put her wig back on after it fell off, "Are you REALLY okay?"

"I-I-I don't know, Trevor just broke up with me, but in a weird way, I'm a little happy," she said sitting on the couch.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cried Anna from the other room.

"ANNA!" yelled Oliver.

Andréa rolled her eyes and went to help.

"Why did he break up with you?" asked Lola.

"He said he was moving to Kansas," said Maddie.

"ANNA! YOU HAVE TO WHERE THE WIG!" exclaimed Andréa.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Anna.

"Well, how do you know he broke up with you if he didn't say so?" asked Hannah.

"He didn't give me a number, an address, or even a good-bye!" said Maddie.

"Ouch," said Lola and Hannah.

"ANNA! DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE CONCERT!" yelled Oliver.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" screamed Anna.

"THEN PUT ON THE WIG!" yelled Oliver.

Anna came out of the room wearing the wig backward. The hair covered her face and she accidentally bumped into the dresser, the bed, the couch, and the coffee table before she reached Hannah.

"Cousin Hannah, I think this wig is broken!" she said.

Hannah laughed and turned the wig around.

"Better?" she asked.

Ashley nodded and ran away.

Andréa came out and fell on the couch.

Oliver came out and fell on the chair.

"I say next time we dye her hair," said Andréa.

"I second that," said Oliver.

"Come on you guys! We have to get to the concert!" called Robbie.

Oliver and Andréa groaned.

"Come on!" said Hannah pulling them up.

Andréa stood up and stood for a minute to regain balance.

Maddie went back to the bed and reached under it to grab the wig.

"Ashley! Let's go!" called Oliver.

Ashley ran out of the door with her wig on backwards and fell over Oliver's feet.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she screamed as she fell down.

Oliver bent down and helped Ashley up who ran away and bumped into the door frame, the door, and the wall before finally stopping to ask for help.

"Andréa, my wig is broken again!" cried Ashley.

Andréa came over and fixed Ashley's wig. Ashley smiled and ran to the elevator. She ran past Andréa and accidentally knocked her down, but instead of falling onto the floor, she fell into Oliver's arms. She blushed and stood up.

"Thanks, I see those trust exercises are really working," she said.

"How did you know we were in drama?" asked Lola.

"I talk to Hannah everyday. She told me what was going on," she said, "Hannah, I watched the taping of The Lakers game and um…….cup fly?" she asked.

"Hey! It was the only thing I could think of!" said Hannah.

"I still remember Oliver doing fruit fly during his Abraham Lincoln presentation," said Andréa laughing.

"I thought you lived in Tennessee!" said Oliver.

"Oh I do, but I lived in Malibu from when I was born to fifth grade," said Andréa.

"So let me get this straight, you lived in Malibu when Hannah lived in Tennessee, and you live in Tennessee when Hannah lives in Malibu?" asked Oliver.

Hannah and Andréa nodded.

"Wait a minute, Alex? Straight-As Alex?" Lola asked.

"Ssh! It's Andréa remember?" she said, "But, if I WERE Alex, then you would be right."

Hannah looked confused.

"What are you guys talking about?" she asked.

"Alex had a reputation of having straight As. She was the only kid in the entire school to have straight As from Kindergarten to fifth grade," said Oliver.

Andréa blushed.

"That's why I don't have the same southern accent. I can't believe you two didn't remember me!" she said laughing.

"Well, you've changed a lot!" said Lola.

"Yeah, I lost the glasses, and the braces," said Andréa.

"So, you knew these guys before I knew them?" asked Hannah.

"Not really. We never hung out," said Andréa.

"Did you know who they were when I introduced you a year ago?" asked Hannah.

"Vaguely; I knew the names were familiar, but they have changed so much that I didn't realize until about a month ago," she said.

"Wow," said Hannah.

"The only reason I didn't say anything is because I figured you guys wouldn't remember me," said Andréa.

"Well, we do now," said Oliver.

Andréa blushed and ran after Ashley whose wig was backward AGAIN and was running into every wall around her.

Andréa pulled the wig off and turned it around.

"The elevator is over there," she said pointing to the elevator. Ashley walked over and pushed the button. Elevator opened and there stood Gabriella, Troy, and Sharpay.

"Hi!" said Ashley in her usual perky voice.

"Hey," said Troy.

"Hi!" said Gabriella.

"Hello," said Sharpay.

They walked away and everyone stepped in the elevator, but by the time they all got in, it was so squished, everyone was basically on top of each other.

"Oliver! You're on my foot!" said Andréa.

"Jackson is on my hand!" cried Ashley.

"Lola! Get your leg out of my side!" cried Maggie.

"Hannah! Get your hand out of my face!" yelled Jackson.

"Andréa! Get your elbow out of my side!" yelled Oliver.

"Maggie! You're on my foot!" cried Hannah.

"Ashley! Get your hand off my knee! You know I hate that!" cried Andréa.

"Bud, please get your foot off of me!" exclaimed Robbie.

"Sorry dad," said Hannah.

Finally, the elevator dinged and the door opened and everyone toppled out on top of each other. They all got up and brushed themselves off.

"Everyone ok?" asked Robbie.

Everyone nodded.

They all walked out to the limo and piled into the limo. Andréa fixed Ashley's wig and her make-up, while Hannah fixed her and Lola's wig. Maddie fixed her wig and was talking to Jackson. Finally they got to the place the concert was being held.

Andréa got out and held Ashley's hand. Ashley started to whimper.

"Uh…Hannah?" called Andréa.

"Yeah?" called Hannah.

"Ashley is scared off all the people!" called Andréa.

Oliver ran over to Ashley who was now bawling.

"What's the matter?" asked Oliver kneeling down so he was Ashley's height.

"It's...too...loud!" she said between sobs.

Andréa didn't blame her. They were about a thousand fans screaming their hearts out.

Oliver picked Ashley up and walked over to Hannah. Hannah saw Ashley crying and gave her a hug. She waved to her fans and said, "This is my little cousin Ashley." Everyone awed as Ashley waved.

Ashley ran into the building with Oliver, Jackson, Hannah, Lola, Robbie and Andréa behind her.

Andréa walked in and sucked in her breath.
