At Drew's apartment. "Are you sure you're alright, Drew? Do you think it's better to see a doctor?" Erika worriedly asks Drew. "Erika, stop worrying. I was able to jump out on the last minute." Drew reassures her, as he went to the fridge to get them some drinks. "Well, that's a relief." Erika said, sounding suddenly tired and weary. At the same time, Drew suddenly made a mental flashback on what happened awhile ago... Everything happened so fast, and he's just thankful because nothing happened to him. It feels like a deja vu, as the same thing happened to him few years ago... Drew finally made a decision, and he wants Erika to hear about it. "Erika." he calls for her attention. Erika snaps her head up and stared at Drew. "Hmm?" she asks, waiting for him to speak again. "I'm leaving as soon as possible. I don't want to get involve with any musical plays and stage plays from now on." Drew finally decided. Erika quickly stood up,obviously shocked with Drew's announcement. "I know you just can't easily leave the world of theater. Remember the time when Director Alford invited us to join this musical play? You sounded so excited, and you looked like an eager kid on your first day of school. And I was so happy to see you like that!" Erika relayed at him. "Maybe you're imagining it." Drew answered, in a flat tone. "You know I'm right. If only I could turn back the time, I want to see you smile again, just like before." Erika spoke again. Drew lets out a big sigh after he heard his friend. Even if Erika's right, nothing will change... ============================ The next day. "As you all know,yesterday's accident has reached the management of Waldorf Auditorium. But the good thing is, it only left a little damage on the stage, and the show must still go on." Director Alford announces to everyone. "So that's why we have to work harder." Nate encourages everyone. Gale, Nick, Justin and Celine all nodded in agreement. "And another thing... If you're thinking about Drew and Erika coming in for the rehearsals, I'm sorry to let you know that they're not coming anymore." the old director added more announcements. "But why? Drew and Erika are still part of the musical production, right?" Gale unbelievably asks their director. "Don't get too emotional, Gale. If they're coming, then we can't do anything about it." Sir Alford quickly stated. "How can you be so cold, Sir? Don't you care about them? And you're just going to pretend as if nothing has happened?" Nick blurted out. "I didn't come here for compassion or pity, Nick. Now instead of yelling at me,why don't you calm down and get back to work?" the Director suggested, while wearing a poker face. Nick was about to say something more, but Justin stops it. "That's enough, Nick. We won't solve anything if we keep on pushing the director to the limits." Justin seriously gave an advice to his friend. Nick nodded in return, as he tries to calm himself. Meanwhile, Celine is in deep confusion about what's happening around her. ============================== Few days have passed. Celine, Nate, Gale, Nick and Justin are on their way to the airport. They heard from their director that Drew and Erika are moving to another country to study, and he doesn't know if they will ever come back. Celine and the gang decided to go to the airport to say a proper farewell to them... Celine and the boys quickly ran inside the airport, hoping that they can still catch up with Drew and Erika. "Oh, I see them!" Nick suddenly informed them. And sure enough, they saw Drew and Erika talking to each other, while checking their luggages. "Drew! Erika!" Nate calls for them. The two of them looked at our Direction. "What were you thinking, guys? You're just going to leave us without saying goodbye?" Justin complains. "We don't want sad goodbyes, that's why we're doing this." Drew enunciated. "Hey, man. Are you still mad at me? I swear, what happened years ago and what happened the other day is purely an accident. I never, ever wanted to hurt you!" Nate explained. "I know, buddy. It's just me thinking negative things about you because well, I've got to admit that I was jealous of you. You got so much talent and better skills when it comes to theater plays. And our rivalry really consumed me. And for that, I sincerely apologize for everything, Nate." Drew genuinely apologizes. "Look, it's all in the past. The most important thing is we're all friends again. Right, Erika?" Nate smilingly told Erika. "Of course! And I gained another friend which is Celine!" Erika nodded in return. "I'm glad and honored to be called as your friend, Erika." Celine smilingly said. The girls gave each other a big bear hug, signifying the start of their new friendship. After a few moments, Drew and Erika are now making their way to the Departure area, while the rest of the gang watches them go. They promised each other that they will see each other again in the world of theater... ==================================== Michaela checked her reflection in front of the mirror for almost a hundredth time. She suddenly frowned when she noticed that something is missing. "Oh, right! I forgot to put on my lip gloss!" she blurted out. She took out a lip gloss, and she started applying some to her lips. She lets out a satisfied smile when she stared at her reflection in the mirror again. She puckered her lips up, wanting to see the effect of lipgloss on her face. And now, she's ready to face another day at school, and she's more than ready to execute her plan for today... "Michaela, are you done getting ready? You need to have breakfast now or else you'll be late!" her mother, Mrs. Clarissa Montserrat calls out for her downstairs. "Alright, Mommy. I'll be down in a minute!" Michaela responded to her mother. She quickly gathered her things, put them all in her bag, then afterwards, she walks out from her room to join her parents for breakfast. "Good morning, everyone! It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" Michaela greeted everyone at the dining table. "Good morning, sweetheart. You seems to be in a good mood today." her father, Michele Montserrat smilingly greeted his daughter. "Yes, Daddy. This is an important day for me, and I have to have a positive outlook today!" Michaela smilingly told her father. "Is it just my eyes or is your lips somewhat reddish?" Clarissa suddenly asks her daughter. "Oh, I'm wearing the latest color of a famous brand of lipgloss. What do you think? Does it look good on me?" Michaela excitedly asks her mother. "But aren't you too young to put on some lipstick?" Clarissa inquired. Michaela glances at her father, as she silently asks for help. "Darling, you know young ladies nowadays. They want to be pretty and presentable infront of many people. Don't you think it looks good on her?" Michele tries to convince his wife. "With or without any make up, Michaela looks pretty already. Anyway, you said that today is an important day for you? Is there something going on at school?" Clarissa curiously asks. Michaela. "Oh, today is the Bastketball Championship game, and once Waldorf School wins in the game, then we will be the champion, and we're really excited about it." Michaela relayed. "I see. Good luck to Waldorf High, honey." Clarissa wished her daughter's school the best of luck. After a few minutes of eating breakfast and chatting, Celine finally kisses her parents goodbye, as she's off to school. Her usual chauffeur is waiting for her outside. She immediately steps inside the car, and now, the driver is driving to Waldorf Senior High. She's really excited for today not mainly because of the basketball championship game, but instead, she's really looking forward to confess her feelings to a boy that she's been secretly in love with for a very long time. She praying, hoping and wishing that everything will go well, and she's looking forward on being in a relationship...
