A/N: So, Endlessdreamz015, you were the review I was waiting for, well, here's your update, and you've been reviewing this series from the first part, so this chappie'll be dedicated to you. Okay, so I got a new idea, it was what we were talking about a while ago at school, some people from my class, my seatmate, basically, was with his classmates last year, and they were talking about a 'cursed seat' in their spot, coz all of the sections had their specific hangouts that year, now they don't, and it was our first year. Anyways, what we were talking about was the cursed seat and bird crap, when someone, actually the guy next to me, sat there last year, he said his jug of water fell on the small tree full of mud there and he got bird crap on him, LOL! So something might happen regarding a cursed seat and bird crap.

Disclaimer: I do not own RENT, it obviously belongs to Jonathan Larson.

(POV changes may get confusing, lol)

Chapter 3: Cursed Seats and Bird Crap (lol)

No, this isn't the real chapter name, CWgirl2006 has chapter names like 'Chad's Lies and me being evil, but those are funny, not like Cursed seats and Bird Crap.

Chapter 3: Double Date, Disaster.

Troy and Cody were ready to go, it wasn't as elegant, but anyways, they were all going to meet each other. As for Kayla and Gabriella, a few more finishing touches and they were going…

Later, at the café...

They all took a seat at a table, and took the menus, of course.

"So, how've you been?" Kayla asked to break the silence.

"I've been okay, you?"

"Yeah, me too." She put on a fake smile, just to cover up how she felt. He was lying as well.

They had been lying all along, secretly, they had nothing in their thoughts but each other.

"Wait guys, there's this new show they're planning at the theater tomorrow, you guys want to come watch?" Gabriella said to break the silence.

They all looked at the poster, it had said, "RENT".

"Isn't this about, well, AIDS and stuff…?" Kayla asked curiously.

"There's something more to it, you know. The main focus of it had to be the lives of the characters…" Gabriella pointed out.

"Wait, Kayla, can I talk to you, um, privately." Cody looked at Troy and Gabriella.

"Okay, we'll go outside." They suggested.

"No, we'll go outside." Cody said.

After that, Cody and Kayla went outside, it was cold. They pulled their jackets closer over themselves.

"What is it Cody?"

"Well, I don't think that this is, well, working out, you know?"

"Oh. But, why?" She said softly, as tears began to form.

"I'm sorry, but, I guess, we should cut it off from here first, like, taking professionalism before relationships."

(A/N: Sorry for the mid-story A/N, but Diego, if you're reading this, I got that idea from T. JEN, coz she did mention that they had to do the same thing right, with "Linus"? lol, back to the story)

"What? Alright, I understand." She wiped her face with her hand. Cody reached out his to wipe her face. Removing the line of tears on the brim of her eyes, he smiled at her. She smiled back, obviously hurt, but had to accept the fact.

They went back inside, silently. A long silence was heard, and Gabriella broke the ice after a while.

"So, are we gonna watch the play or not?" Gabriella asked meekly.

"I'm in." Cody stated.

"Me too." Kayla followed.

"Everyone else is coming, so count me in."

"Wait, what's this?" Gabriella pointed out.

"What is it?" Everyone said in unison.

"It said here, Sharpay and Ryan are in the cast!"

"Really!" Troy said in surprise.

"Uh, who are they?" Cody and Kayla asked.

"Oh, yeah, they were 2 of our friends from high school."

"Oh…"

A/N: Sorry, but I have not a single idea, I just decided to finish this chapter then think of more ideas, I've lost the direction of the story, and I'm busy with tons of schoolwork, so don't expect the update to be fast, but maybe longer of course.
