getting at the school at 6:18, we get out of the car. i meet olivia at the front of the car, placing my keys in my pocket after locking it. "she's gonna be so excited..." olivia says for the hundredth time. i laugh, and we start to walk to the school. we line up outside the theatre building behind others, olivia taking out her phone and going to the digital tickets she bought.

"you have fans behind you," olivia whispers to me, looking behind me. i turn around, seeing a group of teenagers around 14 looking at me with a nervous smile on their faces. "are you y/n l/n?" a brunette asks, her friends waiting hopefully for an answer. "yeah, hi guys!" i answer. i laugh as squeals coming out, a few of them fishing out their phones. 'what're you doing here?!" another girl asks. i look behind me, olivia giving a smile. i step a little back, gesturing my hand to olivia. "i'm watching this musical with olivia, her cousin's in it!" i say, subtly introducing olivia to them. we talk for a little, moving up occasionally as people go in. "are you guys here to watch your friends?" olivia asks, still beside me. "yeah, our friend is playing ms darbus!" the girl who i found out was called rachel. "who's your cousin playing, olivia?" rachel's friend, eva, asks. "emily, she's actually playing gabriella!" olivia says with a proud smile on her face. "did you know her crush austin is playing troy?!" eva responds, giggling. "she has a crush?!" olivia says, shocked as she looks at me. i laugh, giving her a shrug. we get to the front of the line, quickly taking photos before olivia scans our tickets. "there's food on the right." the person says. we walk to the little food place, getting 2 hot dogs and a coke bottle to share between the two of us.

we sit down and i watch as olivia poses with her hotdog, taking a photo. "to the private you go..." olivia says to herself, going onto instagram. "what's your private?" i ask, taking out my phone. olivia tells me her username and i laugh, typing it in the search bar. i request it, olivia accepting before she posts.

we sit patiently, eating our hot dogs as we wait for the play to start. i look up as i hear a man's voice coming from the speaker. he welcomes and thanks us for being at the play, telling us the play will start in 5 minutes. "favorite song from high school musical?" i ask. "the first movie?" "all three." "probably breaking free, the start of something new, or we're all in this together." olivia answers, taking a bite of the hotdog.

i smile, placing the paper towel beside me as the curtains open. "there she is!" olivia whispers to me, and my eyes go to olivia's cousin, running on stage as the large band starts playing. she's around 5'2, brown hair and brown eyes. some of her facial features looked like liv's, but you wouldn't realise they're related until they told you, if that makes sense. they start dancing and singing to 'we're all in this together', olivia and i dancing in our seats too.

my eyes widen at how well she started to sing in 'breaking free', clapping loudly along with everyone else. "she's amazing!" i tell liv, who laughs and nods. another 2 hours later, the play was done. olivia and i give cheers, clapping our hands with a big smile as every bows. i watch as emily's eyes scan the room, meeting eyes with mine. her mouth drops open, and i wave enthusiastically. 'oh my god,' her mouth read, and i laugh, continuing to clap. she gets pulled off stage, and i turn to olivia. "that was so good!" i exclaim, opening the half empty coke bottle. "i know right?!" i sip the coke, closing the lid.

10 minutes later, the cast comes running out to their families in groups. olivia and i stand up as we see emily. she has a big smile on her face, running up to us. "holy crap!" she yells, running into me with her arms around my waist. i laugh, hugging her back tightly. "you did amazing!" i say truthfully, both of us letting go of the hug. "why are you here?! oh my god, olivia why didn't you tell me?! this is so insane!" she say quickly, causing me and olivia to laugh harder. "olivia invited me since she was gonna go, it was a surprise!" she squeals, hugging me again. i look at olivia as she laughs, hugging her back.

after meeting emily's family, we decide to go out for ice-cream as celebration. i open the car door for olivia, liv saying thanks and getting in. emily decided to go in my car, so she sat in the back. i start the car up, putting in the ice-cream place emily told me. "you should race my family, see who gets there first!" emily says, making olivia turn around in her seat. "i would rather live today." i laugh, starting to drive out of the school. olivia moves forward, tapping a few things on the screen. she goes to spotify, tapping her playlist and 'lover' starts playing. everyone starts to sing, laughing in between the breaks.

we get out of the car, being the first here. "i secretly drove faster," i whisper to emily, which was loud enough for olivia to hit my arm. "i'm kidding!" i exclaim, all of us laughing. we walk into the ice-cream shop, looking at the flavors in tubs in front of us. "wanna share? i don't feel like too much, already had way too much ice-cream on the cruise," liv says next to me. "yeah, me too. what flavor?" we look at the ice-cream flavors for another minute or two, deciding on the classic strawberry. we get it in a waffle cone, getting a spoon as well. i pay for ours and emily's, her family walking in. we say hi again, sitting down at a table, emily sitting opposite olivia and i. i move the cone closer to olivia in between us and olivia gets the small ice-cream spoon, scooping ice-cream onto it as she moves closer to me. she places the spoon in front of my mouth, which i eat. she scoops the ice-cream again, putting it in her mouth.

i give an approving hum, nodding my head as i try the waffle cone. "tastes like a waffle cone." olivia laughs, biting it off too. "you guys literally act like a couple, are you dating?" emily asks. we both look at her, shaking our heads at the same time. she gives an unconvinced look, and i take another bite as olivia talks. "talking about dating," olivia changes the subject, giving me a subtle glance before looking back at emily, "i heard you have a crush on austin! tell us about him! that cheek kiss in the show was steamy!" olivia says excitedly.

emily's face starts to go red, shaking her head. "he's just a boy, i don't have a crush on him." she denies, scooping her cookies and cream ice-cream. "that's not what your friends say! come on, em!" olivia insists, taking a bite after her hand goes over mine to steady the cone. "there's nothing to say! i just have a crush on him, that's all." she caves in, giving a nervous laugh. "have you guys held hands?!" olivia asks, laughing. "have you two?!" she mocks back, looking at olivia's hands over mine. liv takes it off, shaking her head. "don't try and change the subject! tell me!" i laugh, taking another bite as i observe. "no! the cheek kiss was for the play, nothing else!" "tell him you like him!" "no!" shaking my head with a smile at the conversation, olivia takes another bite.

we leave the store, saying bye to emily's family. "thank you for coming," emily says as she hugs me one last time. "let me know when your other plays are, i'll go!" i say, smiling as we pull out of the hug. olivia and i start to walk back to the car. "i love kid relationships," she says, smiling. "they aren't in a relationship, liv!" i say, laughing. "who's side are you on?!" olivia jokes, laughing too. "i'm not on any side, i'm a bystander!"
