Well…This really isn't the best thing that has happened to my. I could only open my tired eyes far enough to read that I didn't get the part I wanted. Tori did. Tori FREAKING Vega. Little miss Perfect. Man, I really started to hate her more, something I had thought impossible. Not only did she rub on my then boyfriend, kissed the earlier mentioned then boyfriend, stole my somewhat friends and then she got the lead part in Uptown Downtown! Groaning I stalked away from the message board. If only Jeremy hadn't gotten sick then I wouldn't have been up all night to take care of him and if I wouldn't have been up all night than I would have rocked that audition instead of just being average. I sighed when I opened my locker. Not that I regretted being up all night for the past few days. Jer really was sick and he needed me. I was only at school because Janine, one of the soccer moms, was babysitting him at her house. Like a zombie I walked to the other side of the school and slumped down in my chair. I hated this day already and it hadn't even started yet.

Cat walked in the room and although I missed her last week I inwardly screamed of joy when she sat down next to Robbie. The only down side was that Beck now had to sit next to me. But it could be worse. After last week and the day he had defended Jer I had let my guard down for a bit.

"Hey."

"Hi." Beck tilted his head a bit. "Are you okay? The make-up isn't doing a good job with hiding the bags under your eyes."

Swearing I touched my eyes gently. Dammit I had to reapply right after this class. No one was allowed to see any kind of weakness from me except for Jer, Cat, Ryder, Laura, Jake and, apparently, Beck.

"Gonna tell me?" Beck's eyes were patient but I could see the strong will underneath. He wasn't letting this go.

"Fine." Sighing I slumped back in the chair. "Jer's sick. For a few days now."

"Is it bad? Have you been to a doctor already?"

"I was going to. But is fever broke around four o'clock today. So I don't thinks it's necessary anymore."

"Alright." He nodded and then patted is shoulder. "Lay down, West. You need the sleep."

I looked him right in the eyes for a few seconds and then listened. Although I didn't trust him with my hart anymore I still trusted him with some other things.

That nap saved me for the rest of an awful day. Now I was awake enough for the first practice of the play. Maybe I didn't get the lead but I had a role and I was going to make every moment of that part on stage memorable.

Robbie, Tori and Beck were acting on stage which totally wasn't interesting so I checked my e-mail. There was something interesting there. When I looked up to see how far everyone was in the play Sinjin started playing discomusic.

Jumping up I glared at Sinjin on the catwalk. "Quit it with the disco!"

"I'm sorry I hit the wrong thing!"

That one was to easy. "No! Fifteen years ago your mother gave birth to the wrong thing!" He should have seen that coming. Still he got that sad puppy dog look in his eyes as if I kicked him. Which I didn't…this time.

I sat down again and read the rest of the e-mail. And I was so glad I did. Sophia Michelle, Broadway Legend and one of my idols, was coming to the play!

"Guys, guys, shut up a second." I stood up still looking at my cell phone, and exciting glint in my eyes.

"What do you got?"

"An email from principal Eikner." I hid my enthusiasm behind a mask so they couldn't see it.

"That says?"

Well that was a stupid question. I glared at the pitch perfect girl. As if it wasn't obvious that I was getting to that! Deciding she wasn't even worth a response I picked my sentence up again. "To all students involved in our schools production of 'Uptown Downtown' Sophia Michelle will be in Los Angeles the weekend of the 17th and will and will be personally attending the opening night performance."

Everyone freaked out and mr. OMG aka the director almost started hyperventilating and left the room. Tori Vega broke everyone's mumbling. "Who's Sophia Michelle?"

"Oh no no no." How could she be so stupid? I almost dropped into a chair. That stupid…

"What?"

She interrupted my thoughts and I glared at her, again. That girl was giving me a headache. "She gets to be the lead and she doesn't even know who Sophia Michelle is?"

"Wait. Is she the lady that does the commercials with the vibrating hairbrush?"

God! I didn't even care anymore. She is so so stupid. I started typing a new Slap update till she made another idiotic comment. Which only took a few seconds.

"O"

How did she even get into this school! Oh yeah, she sang a nice song and just got in. Not like all the rest of rest of us who had to audition and prove they were worth it. Now it showed that it really wasn't a wise move to skip that point.

This time it was SInjin who broke me out of my thoughts. "Will you kill the disco?!"

"No one can kill disco!"

God! I threw my hands up in the air and stalked away. I hated the day again. Everywhere I went I was surrounded by idiots!

"Hey West!"

I turned around and almost bit the head off of the idiot who yelled for me. "WHAT!"

"Wow, didn't know you were in witch mode." Ryder snickered a bit. "What's gotten your panties in a twist?"

"One, I hate the word panties and two, that stupid, ignorant, idiotic, little miss I can't do know wrong-"

"Yeah yeah. Stop the rant. I get it. Vega."

"Who else?" I leaned against the wall. "She didn't even know who Sophia Michelle is?"

"Ah. She's coming to the play right? That must be awesome? The big writer is going to see you all act."

"Ugh! Even you know it!"

"Know what?" I've never seen Ryder so baffled and it would have been fun if I wasn't seething with anger.

"That she wrote the play! That little bitch didn't even know that!"

"Really? I get why you're angry." He slung his arm around me and guided me out of the school to the parking lot. "Now get into my car and we'll pick Jer up. I'll pick you up tomorrow for school. Don't argue."

"Hmpf." I jumped on the hoof of his car. "You've thought everything out, didn't you smart guy?"

"Yup. So don't argue." He pushed me. "And now get off of my car."

Laughing I pushed myself of the hood. "It's just a car, Daniels."

"And you might scratch it." He opened his door. "Now get in or I'll make you."

"Coming!" I also opened the door and looked around.

Beck was also stepping into his car. He noticed me looking and lifted a hand. "Wish Jer well from me."

"I will." A ghost of a smile ran over my face. "Do you already know if you can come to a game?"

"Yeah." Beck gave a real smile. "This weekend okay?"

"Sure. See you tomorrow."

I stepped in the car and closed the door. "What?"

Ryder stopped staring at me and started the car. "Nothing. Just didn't know that you and Oliver talked again."

I shrugged. "Not that often. Don't worry. I still don't trust him enough."
