-We are doing amazing, I rock Beauty School Drop Out-Lily said while talking to Sissy.

-But you have no solo in that song-Sissy affirmed confused.

-So? My presence is still the protagonist, I’m the star of the show!-Lily said laughing, her friend also laughed.

-Well, in that case-Sissy said-May I have the honor to sit with the next Broadway star?-She asked joking.

-No, not at all, go away-Lily answered joking-Come sit with me Miss Peña-

Both laughed again, they had been friends ever since Sissy started helping Lily to find herself, and actually, Lily was slowly kicking Sissy out of her heart, and she was happy about it.

-Well, I have to go-Lily said

-Why?-Sissy asked

-Practice!-the blonde answered meanwhile she stood up and walked away saying goodbye with her hand.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Lily arrived to practice just in time when Kyler was ending Beauty School Drop Out.

-Liliana, late, again-Xavier, the director said

-I’m really sorry, but lunch takes some time, ya’ know?-Lily said, trying to excuse herself

-This can’t happen ever again, alright?-He asked firmly

-Okay, so, what do I do know?-She asked

-Sydney is almost ready for the Pajama Party scene, so, go change!-He demanded

Lily then ran to the backstage.

-Lily, who so late?-Sydney asked while she was combing her hair.

-I need food to survive, alright?!-She said

Sydney laughed and smiled at her.

-Never change honey-She said

-I’m not planning to-Lily replayed

Meanwhile, in the other side of the backstage, the guys were talking.

-Well, guys, as you may know, my birthday is next Friday, and my parents won’t be home, so, why don’t we have a dudes night?-Matthew said

The guys looked confused, even if all of them were in good terms with the boy, they didn’t think of him as a social guy.

-Wait? What?-Shane asked

-Wait, what are you doing here Shane? You’re not even in the play!-Arfa asked

-Well, my girlfriend’s on the play, do you remember?-He replayed-and I have to drive her home every day-

-Guys! Focus!-Matthew demanded-Are you coming or not?-He asked

-I am-Arfa said

-Me too-Shane said

-Why not?-Kyle confirmed

-And what about you Kyler?-Matt asked

-No, thanks-He answered with a bittersweet tone-I have several things to do on Friday-

-Come on Kyler-Arfa said-It will cheer you up after your break up, just dudes night-He added without knowing that the one that invited them to the party was the one that caused the break up-

Kyler breathed in and then he let it go, he then wet his mouth.

-Alright, I’m going-He said

-That’s the attitude!-Matt said, faking not knowing everything.

-Greased Lightning scene!-They heard a voice coming from the stage.

-Let’s get started!-Matt said.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile, the ones that weren’t in the play were in the Choir Room, with Hannah.

-Well, guys, who wants to start?-Hannah asked

-Well, we have prepared a number, so if we may-Jude said

-We haven’t been really united since we joined here, so, friendship always come first-Alyce added

-Well, whenever you’re ready-Hannah said

-Well, if the band wants to start-Jude said, direct to the band

The Jazz Band then, started playing Grease.

Jude: I solve my problems and I see the light We gotta loving thing, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger, we can go too far We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word

Alyce: They think our love is just a growing pain Why don't they understand it's just a crying shame? Their lips are lying, only real is real We start to find right now, we got to be what we feel

Jude and Alyce: Grease is the word Grease is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove, it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure and we throw away Conventionality belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be who we are

All the guys were dancing and singing along with Jude and Alyce.

Jude with the Eargasmix (Alyce): Grease is the word Grease is the word, (is the word that you heard) It's got groove, it's got meaning Grease is the time, (is the place, is the motion) Now, Grease is the way we are feeling

Alyce: This is the life of illusion Wrapped up in trouble, laced with confusion What are we doing here?

We take pressure and we throw away Conventionality belongs to yesterday There is a chance, we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be who we are

Jude and Alyce with the Eargasmix: Grease is the word Grease is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove, it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion Now, Grease is the way we are feeling

Grease is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove, it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion Now, Grease is the way we are feeling

the Eargasmix: Grease is the word Is the word Is the word Is the word

When they finished, the club clapped as they hugged.

-That was really nice guys!-Hannah said

-Thanks-Both Jude and Alyce replayed

_____________________________________________________________________________________

-Well, guys-Matthew said-Let the party begins!-He added joyful

The night started, and all of the guys of the club where there (except Jude, who was still feeling outside the group). They spent the first hours playing videogames, drinking, and cursing a lot.

-Well guys, this party isn't a party without some music!-Matthew yelled

The guys cheered at him as the time he started playing some electronic music. Matthew tried to be friendly and supportive with everyone, with everyone except Kyler, even if he wanted to like him he just couldn’t, he didn’t know if it was because of Becca or because he just didn’t like him.

Meanwhile, even if Kyler wanted to enjoy the party, something keep him away from it, he was still depressed, he wanted to forget about Becca, but you just can’t forget a one-year relationship…

Kyler’s thoughts were interrupted by Matthew.

-Hey!-He said-Come right here! You’re missing all the fun!

-I want to calm down a bit-Kyler faked.

-Come on buddy!-Matthew tried-If you want to relax, why don’t you leave the room for a while? It will make you feel better-He said

-You think?-He asked, naïve

-Hell yeah!-He said as they both walked to the door meanwhile all the other guys were acting up and singing along the karaoke of a Grease song.

-Keep up the fun, guys-Matthew announced-I’ll take Kyler to take some water-

-Just don’t start a porn, please-Kyle said

-Not today-Matthew said-You're not that lucky-

Matthew then walked Kyler to the kitchen.

-Well, take some water, breath, relax, and we’ll wait for you whenever you’re ready-Matthew said genuinely

-Thanks-Kyler replayed with a forced smile

Matthew then walked towards the room again.

Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee started playing but in a Karaoke mode.

-Just the song I needed-Matthew said as he started singing. Matthew: Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee Lousy with virginity Won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed I can't; I'm Sandra Dee

Matthew grabbed Kyler’s jacket and started to act up like him as the other guys looked at him laughing except for Arfa, who was actually offended…

Watch it! Hey I'm Doris Day I was not brought up that way won’t come across, Even Rock Hudson lost His heart to Doris Day

Matthew (Boys): I don't drink (no) Or swear (no) I don't rat my hair (eew) I get ill from one cigarette (cough, cough, cough) Keep your filthy paws Off my silky draws Would you pull that crap with Annette?

Matthew: As for you Troy Donahue, I know what you wanna do you got your crust I'm no object of lust I'm just plain Sandra Dee

Matthew kept singing as Kyler entered the room and looked at him confused.

Elvis, Elvis, let me be! Keep that pelvis far from me! Just keep your cool Now you’re starting to drool Hey Fongool, I'm Sandra Dee!

As Matthew saw him he stopped singing.

-Are you making fun of me, Matt?-Kyler asked

-Some people are so touchy-Matthew asked ashamed.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The play was going great; the opening night was closer than ever…

-Nervous?-Arfa asked to Sydney

-A little, but I’ll be fine-She replayed

-You’ll do amazing, relax-Arfa added hugging her-And you’re the perfect Rizzo-He said -Next to you; the perfect Kenickie-Sydney said

-Well, let’s rehears-Arfa added-

-Let’s do it-Sydney said

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Basketball practice and Shane and Arfa were late…

-Where the hell are those two?-Coach Blaine asked to the other players that said nothing.

Arfa and Shane, both stressed out, were running across the field to get to the lockers room, when Blaine saw them, he exploded.

-WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?-He yelled-IT’S BEEN 20 MINUTES SINCE THE PRACTICE STARTED!-He added, full of anger

-We’re sorry coach-Arfa dared to speak-It’s just that we were at the final rehearsal of Grease-

-GREASE? GREASE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?-Blaine said-THAT STUPID PLAY MEANS NOTHING! Did you know that joining a sports team increases your chances of being accepted into an Ivy League college? A STUPID GLEE CLUB OR A DUMB PLAY DOESN’T!-

-Who says we want to join an Ivy League college?-Shane asked

-You don´t?-Blaine asked getting closer to Shane-Then, that’s really sad, because, you are an amazing power forward-He said-And what about you, Arfa?

-I want to go to an Ivy League college, coach, but I love glee club and the play-the guy said

-Mmm, that seems fair…oh, wait, it doesn’t-Blaine said-This is your first and final warning guys, no more lattes or I’m kicking you both out of the team, am I clear?-

-Yes coach-Arfa and Shane answered at the same time-

-Then, go! Your teammates wait for you-Blaine added

When the two guys left, Blaine started to talk with himself.

-That damn glee club is taking my best players, I need to get rid of it or else I’m getting fired if we don’t win the championship-Blaine said-But, how?-He said as he walked outside the lockers room-I got it-He said smiling as he dialed a number in his phone.

-Alright guys!-Let’s get started with this!-He yelled at the team

_____________________________________________________________________________________

-Hannah!-The glee club director heard a voice besides her

-James!-Hannah said-Where have you been? I haven’t see you since we announced the roles for the play-

-I was just finishing the vacation I asked for, as Olaysa didn’t let me return-James replayed

-Oh, alright-Hannah said-So, do you need something?-She asked

-Yes-He said-Olaysa asked me to tell you that she needs you at her office

-Why?-She asked

-No idea-James said shaking his head-But she did sound worried

-Well, I better go see her-Hannah said-See you around-She added, saying goodbye James then walked away confused too.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Hannah entered Olaysa’s office slowly, the secretary, welcomed her.

-Miss Ibarra, come in, Principal Marquez is waiting for you-The woman said

-Thanks-Hannah answered nervous-Principal Marquez?-She asked, while opening the door

-Oh, Hannah, please, take a sit-Olaysa said faking a smile

-So, am I fired?-Hannah asked nervous

-What? No!-Olaysa said confused-Of course not!-

-Then? Why am I here?-Hannah asked, even more confused

-Well, its related-Olaysa said

-What?-Hannah said, starting to feel the blood pumping.

-Well, you know that our district is really close, right?-Marquez asked

-Yes-Hannah answered

-As you may know, sometimes, the teachers are asked to go to other school, you know, better salary, way more benefits, all that stuff-Olaysa said

Hannah just looked at Olaysa looking for an answer.

-What means, that, Rio Rancho High School is asking for you-Principal Marquez announced

-Oh my god-Hannah expressed-Are you serious?-She asked as she tried to control her emotion, she was almost crying of happiness, until she remembered the glee club…

-But, what about my boys in the Chess Club? The Eargasmix? What about them?-She asked sitting in the chair

-Well, for the Chess Club, remember that you have two supporters that are totally qualified for the work and as for the Glee Club, remember that you are not even in the official list of teachers, the head is James, so, if he wants, he could comeback- Olaysa replayed-It will be okay Hannah-

-But I’m not sure-Hannah said-I’ve been with the kids of the Chess Club for almost a year and I love them, same with the glee club, it has been less than two months but those kids are really special-She added

-Hannah, more than your boss, I’m also your friend-Olaysa said-and this is a chance that you cannot waste, your house is 45 minutes away from this school, the Rio Rancho is just 15 minutes, you’ll save gas and also, they have offered a full job as an arts teachers, and you love that!-She added

-You’re right, but I don’t think I’m ready to say goodbye to all of them-Hannah said

-I know what you mean, you’re young and you still have trouble with goodbyes, but, you can still visit us!-Olaysa said, trying to cheer Hannah up-I’ll give you 48 hours to think about it, now, leave-

Hannah walked out of the office confused, she wanted the job, it would make her life miles better, but she didn’t wanted to say goodbye to all her kids, she knew how James felt before…

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Opening night…finally!

-Well, how are you feeling guys?-The director said to the cast-Are you excited?-

-Yes!-All of them said at the same time

-Well, you have 15 minutes and then, we start! Get ready!-He said before leaving them.

Matthew then, made a sign to Becca, who got closer to him.

-Yes?-She asked

-I know our relationship is really weird-He started-but, I mean, I think we could start something, you know, more serious, like, after you broke up with Kyler for me… Becca opened her mouth and then smiled.

-I like you Matthew, but you have to understand that I did not break up with Kyler for you; I broke up with him because I wasn’t comfortable-

-Now you’re going to tell me that I had nothing to do with it-Matthew said

-You had-Becca said-But I’m not ready to start another serious thing right now, I’m always having fun when I’m with you, but, that’s the only thing you’ll get now- Matthew then smirked and walked away from her.

-We’re meant to be, and you know that-Matt said sending her a kiss. Becca smiled.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The show started, with acclaim of the public, then, the Greased Lightning scene started. Matthew (Arfa): Why, this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hydrometric Why, it's greased lightning (Grease lightning)

We'll get some overhead lifters and four barrel quads, oh yeah (Keep talking, whoa, keep talking)

Matthew (Male cast): Fuel injection cutoffs and chrome plated rods, oh yeah With a four-speed on the floor, they'll be waiting at the door You know that ain't no trash, we'll be getting lots of it in Grease Lightning (Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)

Lightning, lightning, lightning Lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning Yeaaaahhhhhhh....

The public clapped as the curtain closed.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Hannah made a choice; she would tell Olaysa after the play was over.

The curtain opened to reveal another scene, Sydney as Rizzo as There Are Worse Things I Could do started to play…

Sydney: There are worse things I could do than go with a boy or two Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good I suppose it could be true but there are worse things I could do

I could flirt with all the guys smile at them and bat my eyes Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance Then refuse to see it through that's a thing I'd never do

Hannah watched Sydney as she imagined herself in her place…

Hannah: I could stay home every night wait around for Mr. Right Take cold showers everyday and throw my life away On a dream that won't come true

I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy

Sydney (and Hannah): I don't steal and I don't lie but I can feel and I can cry A fact I'll bet you never knew (but to cry in front of you That's the worst thing I could do)

As Sydney ended her performance, Hannah walked away from the auditorium; James saw her and walked out of the auditorium as well.

-Where are you going?-He asked

Hannah heard him as she tried to clean up her tears.-I just wanted to take some fresh air-She lied

-Are you crying?-He asked

-No-She replied-It’s just that Sydney’s scene made me really emotional-

-If I have one super power is that I know when someone is lying, now, tell me, what is going on?-James asked-Is it about your visit to Olaysa’s office?-

-If I tell you, you promise not to tell anyone?-She asked him

-Yeah, sure-He said-My mouth’s a tomb-He said, looking confused

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The 2rd act just started and Becca was waiting for her moment to appear in you’re the One that I Want.

-You’re beautiful, you are confident; you can do it Rebecca-She said to herself as she watched her reflection in the mirror, suddenly, a voice woke her up from her thoughts.

-Becca! Your turn!-A tiny girl said

-Oh right-She said as she stood up from the chair

-Sandy!-Matthew said as Danny-
 * Play*

-Tell me about it-Becca said, trying to sound as a seductive Sandy-Stud!-

Matthew: I got chills, they're multiplying And I'm losing control 'Cause the power, you're supplying It's electrifying!

Becca: You better shape up, 'cause I need a man And my heart is set on you You better shape up, you better understand To my heart I must be true Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

Becca and Matthew (Musical cast): You're the one that I want (You are the one I want) Oo,Oo,Oo honey You're the one that I want (You are the one I want) Oo, Oo, Oo Honey You're the one that I want (You are the one I want) Oo, Oo, Oo, the one that I need (The One I need) Oh yes indeed (Oh yes, Indeed)

Becca: If you're filled with affection You're too shy to convey Meditate in my direction Feel your way

Mattew: I better shape up, 'cause you need a man I need a man who can keep me satisfied I better shape up, if I'm gonna prove You better prove that my faith is justified Are you sure? Yes I'm sure down deep inside

The scene then finished...

...When the play ended the crowd cheered for it. It had been a success after all...

_____________________________________________________________________________________

-Well guys-Hannah said, now with all the guys that acted in the play that were in the club-That was a complete success!-She said happy

-Most of it is for the amazing chance you gave us Miss Ibarra-Lily said-

-Don’t thank me-Hannah said, feeling ready to tell the kids about her new job opportunity-So, anyways…-She started

-Wait-Becca interrupted her-Before you say anything, we would like to thank you in the best way we are able to-She added-Hope you like it Miss Ibarra

Hannah then smiled as the guys stood up to the front of the room.

-And I’m not part of this club-Emily said-But, you rock, so, what’s the matter?-She added, smiling

The music for We Go Together started as Hannah opened her mouth smiling but she was afraid of the number to finish as she planned to tell the club…

Becca and Matt: We go together, Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong Remembered forever As shoobop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom

-I love all of you guys-Hannah said-and Emily, would you like to join?-She asked.

Emily got surprised and said yes, to later hug the rest of her new club.

-Now, I need to talk with you-Hannah said, breaking the group hug.

-What is it?-Lily asked

Hannah then took a big breath as the kids looked at each other confused…
