Fifty nine
It was show day and the air was electric. Everyone was running around panicked. Jessie was stressing out a lot and Faith was making her drink chamomile tea to calm her down. Josh was pacing nervously and Rick was sat on his chair rocking backwards and forwards. Tee was stressed out about having to go on stage and perform even for a tiny little bit as she was worried that someone's clothes would tear or need urgent repairing. In fact the only person properly calm was Blake and Faith but Faith was always calm. Mike, Gina, Harry, Jody, Zach and Floss were all sat in the audience ready for the show. Mike had been warned about Floss's last outburst and was keeping a careful eye on the youngster. Harry had Jeff back for the show and Jeff was dressed up like he was heading to a movie premiere. Zach was texting.
"Zach put that away. The kids have worked hard and we are here to support them," Zach sighed but reluctantly put his phone away. As he did so a familiar figure sat in the seat next to him.
"Alright Mike," a cockney accent said. Mike's eyes flickered to the seat next to Zach.
"Liam," he said in surprise.
"Liam," Harry said running towards him and hugging him.
"alright mate," he said.
"What are you doing here?" Gina asked him.
"Supportin' Frank ain't I," Liam said indicating towards the stage. Mike and Gina nodded approvingly and Harry went and sat back down in his seat. The lights dimmed.
"T-birds and pink ladies welcome to Lakemead secondary school's performance of grease. Pleas bear in mind mobiles must be turned off during the performance and there will be a short interval during the show. And now let us begin," the voice of Miss Gooden announced to the quiet room. As she said this the lights went up to reveal Jessie sat on the bench with her parents.
She was arguing with her parents and then along came Blake, who got in her way. "Oh I'm sorry," Jessie said. Blake shook it off. Zach smiled. Jessie and Blake were doing a good job. The beach scene began and Floss piped up.
"Oh I like this bit," she said. Mike looked quickly at Jody who nodded. This was where her outburst had happened last time. Like before Blake and Jessie leaned in.
Jessie's POV
I leaned in. I half-expected to hear Floss have another outburst but it never came instead two different familiar voices occurred.
"Woo! Go Danny. Kiss that girl," Zach called out loudly. I could feel my skin burning up but I kept a straight face.
"Sandy is cheating on you," the other voice shouted. That was Liam who Frank had introduced me too. I blushed even more crimson. Blake smiled at me, trying not to laugh.
We then heard Mike hiss, "you two behave and be quiet." That was the final straw for us two and we forced our lips together just to stop the giggles. This scene had been even more eventful than in the dress rehearsal. The lights went down and I ran off, straight to Tee who quickly stripped me down and helped me slip my next dress on. She then proceeded to run into her position to enter the school playground scene. The cast started moving and I knew that was my cue. I walked onto the stage, acting all scared and unknowing. Someone walked into me and I sent my books spilling to the ground. I groaned and started picking them up. A black foot appeared where my hand was only moments ago. I knew the shoe belonged to Faith.
"Who's the new girl?" she asked sarcastically.
"urm I am," I replied not realising it was rhetorical. "I'm sandy. You are?" She looked at me like I'd grown at extra head.
"that's Rizzo. I'm Frenchy," Jasmine told me smiling widely at me. I nodded in return.
An hour and a half later
"You're the one that I want,
You are the one I want, ooh, ooh, honey
You're the one that I want,
You are the one I want, ooh, ooh, honey
You're the one that I want,
You are the one I want, ooh, ooh
The one I need,
Oh yes indeed," Blake and I sang the final chorus as the music started to fade we leant in kissed. We then bowed and he swept me up into his arms before carrying me off stage while I waved at the audience. We got off stage and just stood there listening to the applause. It was extreme and it didn't feel like we had done enough to deserve it. Miss Gooden came over, beaming.
"Well done. Oh well done all of you. My little stars," she said all emotionally. None of the cast, who were all stood with us, knew how to respond. "I'm so proud right now and as for you two," she said pointing at me and Blake, "Well you couldn't have done a better job, except maybe not so quick or forceful on the first kiss." She said. We smiled. We knew it had looked strange but we couldn't help it. We were blaming Zach and Liam. Rick and Josh appeared by my side. Josh pulled me into a massive hug.
"My sister had all grown up," he teased acting like the proud dad. I hit him.
"Remember I'm older than you," I told him. He nodded as Rick picked me up.
"My star," he said and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back and this time everyone just left us to it.
A/N: Ok, so this one isn't as long nor as interesting as the last one but this was the final main chapter. Chapter 60 is a bit of an epilogue. Indigo :)
