Theme Song: Fifth Harmony "All In My Head"


Anthony walked into class later than usual today as his music teacher, Mr. Young greeted him, "Hey, give me your late slip after class".
Anthony didn't pay him much attention as he strolled by him and towards the only available guitar.



He stopped and looked at Taylor as she sat there playing the piano. Sure enough he walked over and picked up the guitar.
"So, you play the piano?" Anthony curiously asked her.
Taylor in her trance, snapped out of it and suddenly realized Anthony's presence, "O-oh yeah, my mother made me take piano lessons".
Taylor studied Anthony for a brief second, "You changed your hair?"


Anthony startled, "Yeah..not my choice but we have a huge gig this week, so they felt it was necessary", he explained.
"Hmph..", Taylor sounded lost in thought.
"What is it?" Anthony interest peeked.
"You seem like you have too much pride to let someone play with your hair is all", Taylor laughed.
Anthony had stopped playing from her remark, "You're right, but this is a different circumstance".


She gazed at him as he seemed to be stuck in a train of thought.
"You", Anthony bluntly said, "You should come watch us tonight".
"What?" Taylor's heart skipped a beat, "Wait why is my heart beating so fast?" she thought.
"They gave us all an extra ticket, so here", Anthony sat the ticket on the piano and started playing the guitar again.
"Why's he being so nice to me", she thought while picking up the ticket.

"Asia", Jenny said her name but Asia kept walking towards the school exit, "Asia!"
Asia startled by Jenny's voice had stopped finally.
"What do you want, Jenny?" Asia said irritated but with a hint of sadness.


"I want to talk", Jenny said but Asia wasn't moved by her words.
"You're going to keep bothering me unless I say yes, aren't you?" Asia rolled her eyes.
Jenny smiled, "Of course".
"Fine..but make it quick, I have to buy Cheyanne diapers", said Asia.

Kyle arrived home earlier than usual to change and go straight to the studio for rehearsals.
Work had been even more tedious lately because of the showcase happening in just a few days.
He hadn't been able to hangout with Mimi nor see his family as often, since he'd come home burnt out of energy.
"I need an energy drink", he spoke to himself.


"Hm? Dad's home early today", Kyle raised a brow, he was going to check on his dad until he realized that he wasn't alone.
"Wait...who's he talking to?" Kyle thought as he arched behind the sofa.


Michael stood there arms crossed, "So, your back visiting or are you staying this time?" he casually asked her.
Kiki replied, "I'm actually here for an internship at the firm".
"Its already been that long since you've gone off to college? Wow, time flies by", he said making small talk.
She smiled, "Yes, I'll be graduating next year after all".
Michael smirked at the thought.


"And I see that he's gotten to be much more mature now", Kiki added.
"Oh you mean, Kyle? Yeah he'll be graduating this year too", Michael said, "Not sure what he plans to do after but he's been into this music thing lately".
"At least he's finally found something of his own he actually enjoys...and I'm not talking music", Kiki indicated.
"It seems history actually does repeat itself, but hopefully not to the same degree as myself", Michael said troubled.


"I'm glad my sister has finally found love but him of all people..I feel restless at the thought", said Kiki.
"Restless? Or jealous? Do I need to set you up with a man, Kiki?" Michael teased.
"Haha, no thank you", Kiki laughed.
"Okay, well how about we go to lunch then? I'm pretty hungry and have to return to work", Michael gestured.


Michael wrapped his arm around her and guided Kiki out the backyard and around the patio.
"What the hell were they talking about?" Kyle thought as he watched that confusing exchange between him and Kiki, Mimi's older sister.
"Is he cheating? What relationship do they have?" so many thoughts ran through Kyle's mind but he had to get ready for rehearsals.

Jenny sat across from Asia as they gathered at cafe nearby the school.
"Okay, you've got me here but you have three minutes to keep me interested", Asia dismissively said.
"Fair enough, I knew this wasn't going to be easy", said Jenny, "First off, Asia I'm sorry".
Asia still unmoved, looked at her nails.
"I'm sorry I didn't communicate with you or anyone this summer. I felt so sure of myself when I decided to stay in New York,
but I ended up being wrong with my judgement. My father lied to me and I believed him over Dylan", Jenny explained.
"You're getting warm..", Asia murmured enough for her to hear.


"I should've came home after that, but I couldn't face you guys. I felt like a complete idiot so I ran away", Jenny said.
"Warmer..", Asia looked at her.
"Instead of being a coward I should've came home anyway, because you guys are my best friends and you wouldn't have judged me for being a dumbass", Jenny continued.
"Ding, ding, ding! We've got a winner", Asia exaggerated, "Now..how are you going to fix it?"
"I have an idea but I don't know if it will work. Dylan has showed how much he couldn't careless about me and I think the boys are backing him", Jenny said sounding discouraged.


"There you go being a coward again, you'll never get our forgiveness if you keep running Jenny", said Asia.
"You always know the right thing to say", Jenny smiled at her.
"Duh! Which is why you should've came to me when you felt troubled to begin with.
Next time you do this you'll have to beg for Mimi's forgiveness and not mine", Asia said.
"Fair enough, she's more determined to ignore me it seems", Jenny frowned at the thought.


"So, are you going to win Dylan back at least?" Asia asked curiously.
"I don't know A, the other night he kissed some girl at the jazz club downtown", Jenny said depressed.
"Wait what?! Who the hell is she? Dylan's never mentioned a new girlfriend", Asia said surprised.
"Yeah and because of that I'm scared to face him", Jenny said as she hung her head.
"You got this! Don't let some random girl get in the way of you guys. I'm pretty sure he's still hung up on you,
he's just trying his best not to seem weak in front of everyone", Asia explained.
"You're right, I'm not going down without a fight!" Jenny exclaimed getting everyone in the cafes' attention.

Alex walked into the studio to take a rest from his rehearsals, "I'm beat".
He stopped when he heard the same music that's been playing in the other studio for the past few weeks straight.
"She's still going over that stupid part?" he said to himself.


Mimi was so into the choreography that she didn't catch Alex looking at her through the glass.
"One, two, three, four", Mimi counted the steps in her head drenched of sweat, "Five, six, seven, eight".
She stopped once more as she had messed the last step once again.


She regained her composure to redo the routine but was interrupted as Alex busted into the room.
"Hey idiot, stop overthinking the steps!" He said trying to correct but instead came off obnoxious.
"Wait..who are you calling an idiot?!" Mimi retorted.
"You obvi", He exaggerated, "You're never going to nail that last step if you keep overthinking it".
"What would you know? Quit trying to be a know-it-all", Mimi rolled her eyes.
"Shut up, I think I know your routine more than anyone after seeing you repeat it the last few weeks", Alex claimed.


He waltzed up to her and gripped her and began guiding her, "Wh-what are you doing?!"
Alex hushed and continued, "Just go with it".
Mimi finally stopped talking and without realizing it, she wasn't counting the steps in her head any longer.
Alex helped her through the routine and she finally didn't step on anyone's toes.
"See? Not so hard now is it?" Alex confidently said as he looked at the mirror.
"Why is he so good at everything?" Mimi thought.


"Wait! When did his face get this close?!" Mimi's eyes grew big.
"I can't believe you had such a hard time with this routine", Alex emphasized then looked at her.
Once their eyes met Mimi looked away, "What are you a virgin?" Alex teased as he laughed at her blushing face.
"Shut up! That's none of your business anyways", Mimi shrieked.
"Well its written all over your face..and its no wonder you kept overthinking the steps. You get nervous just dancing with a guy", Alex continued his banter.
"Ugh..you are so annoying", Mimi sighed, "Can we do it one more time?" she murmured.


"We need to throw a party after this showcase", Dylan said.
"The holidays are coming up too", Eithen included.
"When's the last time we had a party?" Kyle laughed.
"Actually, I think it was my wedding", Flint laughed at the thought.
Eithen stopped walking as he looked through the glass, "Hey, isn't that your girlfriend?"


Kyle stood there gazing at Mimi through the glass dazed out of his mind, "What the-" Kyle drifted.
The boys watched as Alex lead Mimi through her dance routine.
"Finally, a girl that actually cheats on you for a change", Dylan poked, "Karma's a bitch".
"I think they're just rehearsing, don't jump to conclusions, idiot", trying to reassure him, Anthony slapped him on the back of the shoulder.
But it was obvious that Kyle was troubled, for once he had a hint of jealousy in his eyes. A feeling he hasn't had until he met Mimi.
