At School...
Cleo was sat in the audience with Audrey looking around, she knew Tara was in school but she couldn't see her anywhere "Do you know where Tara is?" Audrey whispered as Kim was in the middle of a perfformance "I don't know, there's no way she would miss this though"
Cleo replied shaking her head, Cleo stayed quiet for a few more seconds before she got antsy "I'm sorry I need to find out where she is" she said getting out of her seat, Audrey nodded "I'll let you know if she comes in" she said, Cleo nodded and headed backstage first
"Cleo" she turned around to see Gavin "Hey Gavin" she greeted "Have you seen Tara?" he asked, she shook her head "No I'm sorry, I don't know where she is I mean she came to school with me this morning and it isn't like her to make a no-show"
Cleo said "It's not long until were on" he said nervously, Cleo sighed "I'm gonna go look for her in a bit, if she doesn't show soon I'll fine her" she said, he nodded "Hey Gavin" she said, he looked at her "Your a really cool guy, I'm not flirting with you trust me, I just wanna say that your way different than I thought" she said, he smiled a little "Thanks"
he said, she nodded and stayed by the side but behind the curtain so no one in the audience could see her "Dude, ready to rock out with the drama dorks?" she heard, she looked to see Gabe and the other two from the band talking to Gavin
"That's funny, have you guys seen Tara? She's late" Gavin said desperatley "Move on already, pay attention to Stacey" Gabe exclaimed, Cleo's mouth opened in shock and anger "Your turning into a real jerk you know that don't you?" Gavin asked, Gabe chuckled in disbelief
"Me?" he asked "Yeah" Gavin said "Your the one who needs to get his priority's straight" Gabe said pointing at Gavin "Or what? Your gonna kick me outta the band?" Gavin asked "Is that what you want?" Gabe asked "What I want is for you to drop the stupid Rockstar act for five minutes, try just try to be a normal person"
Gavin said annoyed "Okay I am the front man of this band, this Rockstar act is what put us on the map, if you don't wanna be part of that then that's fine with us" Gabe said, Cleo shook her head "What happened to G's for life?" Gavin asked "Hmm yeah ask yourself that, enjoy your solo career Gavin"
Gabe said turning around, Cleo came out from behind the curtain and sighed "You heard that?" he asked, she nodded "Yeah, can't believe I've had a crush on him since 3rd grade" she said shaking her head "If it helps, he had a huge crush on you before we turned popular, still does actually"
Gavin said, she smiled a little "Really?" she asked not believing him "Yeah, he used to talk about you all the time when we were younger" he said, she nodded
"Alright I'm gonna try and find Tara, hopefully she has a good reason" Cleo said heading for the exit "Try and be quick Cleo" he begged, she nodded and ran out into the hall.
Few Minutes Later...
After running through the hallways looking for Tara, Cleo was beginning to get tired "Where the hell is she?" she exclaimed "Someone let me out!" Cleo heard, she knew it sounded like Tara "Tara?"
she shouted, the shouting started up again and she followed it to the Janitor's closet, the janitor was opening the door and Tara came running out "Tara what the hell?"
Cleo exclaimed, Tara grabbed her sisters hand "No time to explain must get to class" she said pulling Cleo down the hallway.
They finally ran through the back door of the stage in time to see Stacey kiss Gavin as the final part of the show, Gavin saw the girls and Tara gave him an apolagetic look, he held the back of his head and walked out slowly "Oh look he is so dissapointed in you, and who can blame him"
Stacey said, she pushed the girls further back and glared at them "Okay Radio Drivells, you were bad enough when you didn't talk, but trying to destroy me on your stupid Radio show, did you really think you'd get away with that?" she asked, Cleo rolled her eyes
"Look your wrong were not them..." Cleo was cut off by Stacey "Save it, your not them? Then explain this" she said pressing something on her phone
"I was afraid we biffed the call, Tara and Cleo were right, you can be in two places at once" their mom's voice said through the recording "That doesn't prove anything" Tara said "No? Then you won't mind if I e-mail it to the whole school? And Moreno" Stacey said
"What do you want Stacey? What could you possibly gain from this?" Cleo asked wondering why the girl was so mean "Morp queen, you girls are gonna make sure I win, or the Radio Rebels are, tell everyone on your show to vote for me, and if you say anything about this little private moment. Then I'll tell everyone who you girls really are"
Stacey replied before walking away, Cleo looked at Tara sadly "This is so messed up" she said shaking her head, Tara sighed.
In The Live Room...
"Okay, I had a bad day and it kinda shook me up, well both me and Rebel 2 actually. Made me wonder, are we doing the right thing, I mean is it worth it if we get expelled? or if it messes things up with the guy I like, I don't know.
But I do know that there will be people out there who try and take things away from us but things bigger than prom, and we can just sit back and watch it happen. Or we can stand up for ourselves, I mean we all deserve to dance to our own playlists no matter what Moreno or anyone else has to say about it"
Tara said a bit depressed, Cleo sighed quietly and put a hand to her head in realisation "Oh yeah and before I forget, we both know that all you guys wanna vote one of us for Morp queen just to find out who we are. But we don't need that crown, but Stacey Debane she kinda does, so just keep that in mind when you vote" she said reluctantly.
