Chapter 19

At Patrick's house...
Patrick is playing his guitar as Tiffany sings to "You Dian Dian" by Silence Wang Ft. By2. Since Tiffany told him that she wanted to perform a Chinese song, Patrick agreed on the idea and learned to play the song on his guitar. Besides, it would be nice if their duo was the only one to perform a Chinese song on stage. This will definetly make them stand out.
As the two kept practicing, Patrick couldn't help but get lost in Tiffany's beautiful voice. Her voice is the perfect mix of angels laughter and Christmas bells. In other words, she sounds amazing. The way she sings every word in Chinese, made Patrick wish he could understand what she was singing. After 2 hours of practice, the two teenagers decides to wrap it up, knowing that they had enough practice for tomorrow.
"Woo...that was fun," says Tiffany as she drinks her bottle of water. Patrick couldn't help but stare at her, still mesmerising her voice in his head.
"Yeah! It was. Thanks for helping me out, Tiffany," says Patrick as he still has his eyes lost staring at her.
Tiffany closes her bottle and stare into her friend who is know smiling awkwardly. She knew that he's definetly behaving unusual, but thinking about it, she had to admit, Patrick does look cute. His messy blonde hair fits his facial features perfectly. The two stares deeply into each other's eyes, before Tiffany breaks the silence due to the amount of awkwardness.
"Well, I better get back. Bye, Pat," says Tiffany as she starts packing her stuff.
"Wait.."
Tiffany looks up at him. For a moment, she stop picking up her stuff and just stare at him again, but this time with a question look. Patrick knew he what he said was a total mistake. Why would he ask her to wait if he just wanted to ask her to join him for dinner with him and his mom?
"Umm..if you don't mind, I told my mom that you're here to help me practice and stuff. And so, she cooked a lot of mac and cheese for tonight, since she knew you'll be here. Would you like to join us?" Patrick asks shyly.
"Oh, sounds nice, Pat! Thank you. Where's your mom? I would like to thank her," says Tiffany.
"She's downstairs. She just finished cooking," says Patrick.
With that, the two teenagers walk downstairs to have their dinner together, along with Patrick's mom.
7:40 PM...
At the Martinez's household....
George and Gina are having dinner together with their parents. They're having paella (Spanish rice) and gazpacho (raw soup made by blended vegetables) for tonight.
"Ahh, mi amor (my love)! They grow up so fast. They'll be performing for the talent show tomorrow," says their mom with a thick Spanish accent.
"Ahh...you guys are gonna be estreas (stars)," says their dad before he takes a big of his gazpacho.
"Geez, papa! I could be the next Ricky Martin dancing through Hollywood movies. This is just a small thing," says George as he takes a bite of his paella.
"Didn't ya mean the next Jack Black? You're a huge joke, bro," says Gina in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey! Jack is talented. And for your info, I could slay any hot actors looks and talent," says George.
"Ah, kids stop arguing! You both are incredible," says their mom as she gets another bowl of gazpacho from the kitchen.
8:10 PM...
At Gina's room...
Gina is on her phone scrolling through Instagram. She is pretty confident that she and the girls (Aria and Scarlett) are gonna slay the show tomorrow. Upon scrolling through Instagram, she stumble upon a new post by Liana. Liana had posted a picture of her new mic, since she'll be singing for the talent show tomorrow. Honestly, she still doesn't understand why Liana would have to get mad about what happened between her and Sam. They just flirted with each other out of drunk, nothing more. Yet, Liana's been trying to distance herself from Gina, making Gina feel that it was unreasonable, and Liana is just being a drama queen. Well, though she wouldn't deny to herself, that if Liana had stayed in the toilet longer, a lot more things could happen between her and Sam. Not that she likes him in a way, but he was pretty cute she thought, complete with black hair and signature Japanese eyes that looks sexy in a way.
"And Li is still being a drama queen. Whatever, I'm just gonna go click that like button cuz she's the one with problems," says Gina to herself. She didn't get it why her friend had to be so mad about her flirting with Sam. Besides, Sam is known as one of the school's playboy anyway. Gina thought he was just doing a "man" thing.
*Knock knock*
"Come in," says Gina.
The door opens to reveal a familiar Spanish woman with curly black hair that falls on her shoulders. She's wearing ripped gray jeans, and a black t-shirt that shapes her body well. Of course, Gina had invited this woman to discuss about their performance tomorrow.
"Chica (girl)! There you are! Where's Scarlett?" Gina asks as she stares at her friend from her bed.
"She told me she still hasn't finish her homework, so she's gonna skip this meeting," says Arianna as she takes a seat on Gina's bean bag chair.
"Damn, and for a moment I thought she's sleeping with Vincent again," says Gina with a small giggle.
"Well, who knows? Vincent has a nice body FYI," says Arianna with a seductive smile, before the two girls burst out laughting.
"Ok, so what are we gonna wear for tomorrow? I totally need your help in deciding my costume. I want something that makes us stand out," Gina asks as she hops out of bed and walk to her closet. "So far, I have two choices, but I think I have a third one coming."
Gina starts exploring her closet as Aria waits on her comfry bean bag chair. After 3 minutes, Gina finally pulled out a green tank top with a pink heart printed on the front and a blue t-shirt that shows her stomach. She holds the two tops in her hands and shows them to Aria.
"Ok, which one has more sass?" Gina asks. "Personally I like the green one better, but I think the blue one will make me stand out. What do you think?"
"Duh..I think the green one is lit! Especially with black shorts, damn that's a killer look," says Arianna.
"Ok, I guess green it is. Thanks Aria," says Gina as she puts her clothes back in the closet.
"No problem, G," says Arianna.
"Speaking of something..did you heard about the rumours?" Gina asks as she walks to sit on another bean bag near Arianna.
"What?" Arianna asks in a curious tone.
"Patrick and Tiffany will be performing together for the talent show, while Lindsay will be performing with Leonard. From what I see, Peggy's not really ok with Leo and Linds being on the same stage," says Gina. "That girl's been crushing on Leo for quite a time now."
"Oh damn..and what about Tiff? Isn't she dating your brother?" Arianna asks.
"Looks like it, but since my bro will be performing with Alex and Liam, Pat had actually offered Tiff to help her out," says Gina.
"And where did you get this info?" Arianna asks.
"Patrick told my bro, and my bro told me. Duh," says Gina.
"Damn, this is hot! And what about Lindsay?" Arianna asks.
"She decided to perform with Leo out of "team work", since both of them thought mixing ballet and guitar was a cool idea. Man, how will Peggy react? That girl is as sensitive as a fragile flower," says Gina.
"I have no idea, G," says Arianna with a smile.
Meanwhile, Sam decided to drive Alyson home after practice. They even made a quick stop for boba first while on the road.
At Alyson's house...
"Thanks for the drive, Sam," says Alyson as she stands in front her house.
"No problem! It's not safe for a woman to get home alone in the middle of the night. Well, you have to be extra careful," says Sam with a smile.
"Yes. So, see you tomorrow at the show. Bye," says Alyson.
"Bye Aly," says Sam as he walks to his car.
Back at the Martinez's household...
"Damn! You were out of this world," says Arianna as she streches on George's bed, while only having her underwears on.
"I was fire and you were ice," says George as he puts his white t-shirt back on.
"So excited for tomorrow's show?" Arianna asks as she puts her black t-shirt back on.
"Pretty much, it's gonna be cool," says George as he grabs his phone on the table.
"You have someone who got your eyes?" Arianna asks seductively.
"Only you, babe," says George with a sassy wink, which made Arianna bite her lips in a sexy manner.
The next day...
Back stage, all the students are getting ready for the talent show, from dressing up, warming up, to making some last minute practice. Outside all the parents are waiting to watch their children perform with anticipation.
"I swear aftet this I'm gonna make that witch lose her job," says Leonard with a frustrated tone.
"Chill, Leo! It's gonna be alright," says Peggy as she helps Leonard to comb his hair.
"You should get ready yourself, Peggy! I can do this on my own," says Leonard as he watch his best friend brush his hair.
"It's ok. I already did my hair this morning," says Peggy with a cheesy smile.
"Oh there you are," says Lindsay as she walks to Leo and Peggy who are sitting on two chairs. Lindsay is all dressed up in a black ballet skirt, complete with a golden buster that shows her clevage, and rose pink ballet shoes. Her hair is tied into an elegant bun, and she had smokey eye make-up on, complete with fake lashes and her signature nude lipstick.
Peggy noticed how Leonard couldn't take his eyes off of Lindsay. She had to admit, she does look gorgeous. Seeing her best friend (and crush) continue to stare at another woman not only made Peggy felt hurt, but also insecure at the same time. Right now she wished she could be just as attractive as Lindsay is. She wished she could be the girl her crush is staring at right now. After what happened the night Leonard visited her, Peggy actually felt like he was taking their relationship to the next level, and they are "officially" a couple. She thought about how foolish that was. For her to believe that he would ever see her the way she sees him, when he's surrounded by gorgeous girls with looks of actresses and bodies of supermodels. With all her strenght, Peggy tries her best to hold the tears filling her eyes.
"I see everyone is almost ready," says Lindsay with an elegant smile. She swear she saw Leo slightly drooling over her.
"Yeah. You look pretty, eonnie," says Peggy as she tries her best to force a smile, as she doesn't want anyone to sense that she's on the edge of bursting out her tears right now.
"Thank you, dear. You look lovely yourself," says Lindsay with a soft voice. Peggy hoped that what Lindsay said could made her feel better, but no.
Meanwhile, Victoria just finished tying her hair into a high ponytail, as she didn't want her hair to get in the way of her clay shaping. Tyler is sitting while checking his phone for the last minute.
"You're done getting ready, Tyler?" Victoria asks.
"Yup! Can't wait to slay the stage, says" Tyler with confidence.
"Alright kiddos! Let's start the show," says Mrs. Steward as she walks in with her new hot pink high heals.
"Is it just me or Mrs. Steward just used perfume today?" Gina asks in a sarcastic way.
"We could obviously scent that," Carter stated.
"She's wearing Victoria's Secret, for your information," says Scarlett as she puts on her dance cap.
"How did you know?" Vincent asks in wonders.
"If you girls forgot, I have a collection of everything Victoria's Secret," says Scarlett in a sexy tone.
"Wow...ok," Sabrina says.
"Ok guys, let's just start with the show," says Cameron.
The show starts as the students all starts taking turns performing. Lindsay and Leonard are first to perform on stage. They put on a good show as Lindsay dance ballet and Leonard plays guitar while singing to "If I Can't Have You" by Shawn Mendes.
The other kids continue with their own performance. Tyler shows his DJ skills with hot remixes of Alan Walker and Mike Candys' hits. Victoria shapes a beautiful clay statue. Scarlett, Arianna, and Gina shows of their dance skills as they dance to "Get Low" by DJ Snake. Carter plays an original song by him on the keyboad. Alexis, Liam, and George performs as a band while singing to "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran. Alyson, Cameron, and Sam performs their juggling and magic tricks. Sabrina shows off her break-dance skills with the song "Run The World (Girls)" by Beyonce. Candice reads 3 poems written by her (one about her family, one about herself, and one about having secret feelings, which she got the inspiration from her crush on Arthur). Tiffany and Patrick performs "You Dian Dian" by Silence Wang Ft. By2 with Tiffany singing and Patrick playing the guitar. Liana sings a solo with the song "Sue Me" by Sabrina Carpenter (though she was kind of trying to hint Sam that she had moved on from him). Vincent shows off his sketching skills of nature and objects. Peggy sings a solo with the song "Don't Say No" by Seohyun (though she's struggling not to faint on stage). Catherine plays a classic song her mom and dad taught her on the violin. Arthur shows off his card tricks (which he had been practicing since 12). And finally, Scott gave a controversial (and somehow emotional) speech of love, justice, and war.
After school...
"Great show, girls," says Gina as she gives her team mates high fives.
"Yeah, we were lit," says Scarlett.
"Yeah right. Wohoo," says Arianna as she jumps and throws her cap to the air, yet she accidentally threw it too far.
"Oops," says Gina as she watch the fly. Surprisingly, a young man wearing a gray t-shirt and black jeans walks up to them holding the cap. Somehow he had catch the hand.
"I believe this is yours," says Tyler as he hands the black cap to Aria.
"Wow, thanks, Spencer! By the way, you were hot back there," says Aria as she puts her cap back on.
"I'll say, you mixed some hot tunes," says Scarlett with a big smile.
"Yeah! Next time I'm having a party you soo have to be the DJ," says Gina with a small giggle, making Aria, Scarlett, and Tyler all laugh together.
"Haha, it would be am honor to be your host of the night, girls," says Tyler with a sassy tone.
"You so have to play us some of your tunes next time," says Arianna.
"Yeah..we need more tunes like yours in our lives," says Scarlett.
Meanwhile, Vincent and Liam are walking out of the school together, as the two decide to head to Cup-A-Cinno after school.
"Good show, man," says Liam.
"Yeah, you too, bro," says Vincent.
"So did you hear about Leo firing Mrs. Steward after this?" Liam asks.
"Yeah. Hopefully if she really gets fired, we could get a better a teacher," says Vincent.
"Hahaha, so true, man," says Liam.
The two guys stop on track as they see Tyler, Aria, Scarlett, and Gina hanging out together outside the school building. They are laughting and talking about music together.
"Isn't that your girlfriend?" Liam asks as reffers to Scarlett in the group.
As Vincent stares at his so-called girlfriend talking to another man while laughting, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at the sight. He suddenly felt insecure, jealous, and for some reasons, even upset with Scarlett at this state. How could she talk with another man behind his back? The thought of it just keeps spinning around Vincent's mind.
"Ok, but first let's take a selfie with Mr Spencer the DJ," says Arianna as she pulls out her phone to take a group selfie with Tyler, Scarlett, and Gina.
"Looks like the DJ is now friends with the dancers," says Liam as he and Vincent continue to stare at the group. The more Vincent stare at them, the more he couldn't even force a smile.
To be continue...
