A few days after the festival. After lunch, all of the casts gathered up again to resume the rehearsals. They started with their singing lessons and started to have singing dance routines. "Callie!" All of the cast looked at Director Oliver's direction. "Yes, sir?" asked Callie, while looking nervous. "What the hell was that? Can't you sing properly? Why can't you still remember the lyrics?" the old director suddenly interrogated. Callie choked back her tears as she gathered all her courage to answer. "Director Oliver's having a fit again?" Nate complained, as he stares at the director. "Poor Callie. She looks really pressured." observed Chase. "But come to think of it...There is something wrong with her." Edward wondered aloud. "Is it because she's having a hard time coping up with the script?" Grant asked. Edward shook his head. "Maybe she can't concentrate on her lines because she has to dance at the same time?" guessed Randall. "That's not it. It's mor

All of the cast nervously looked at each other. "To tell you honestly, I am not satisfied with your performance. I think that you are still at an amateur level." the old director commented again. "I don't understand... What do you mean, sir?" Nate curiously asks him. "I have invited someone that I think will give more justice to the stage play. You can come out now..." the old director suddenly calls for someone. "Thank you for finally calling us, director!" Cal

Once she steps inside, she notices that Dean's apartment is fully furnished, and it's obvious that he came from a well-off family. "Can I offer you anything? Coke, juice or water?" Dean suddenly asked her. "A glass of juice sounds good, thanks." Callie answered in return. Dean went to the kitchen to get some drinks. After a few minutes, he came back to the living room while carrying a tray with drinks. "Thank you very much." Callie thanks him, while getting a glass of orange juice. She started drinking it, as she was really thirsty. "Alright, so let's talk about your strength and weakness. Are you willing to listen to my advice?" Dean suddenly asks her.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw a vending machine. She quickly got some coins and dropped it at the vending machine. As she was about to open the granola bar,she suddenly heard a familiar voice voice from her back. She turned her head, and there was Shannon, giving her a smile. It was a kind of polite, civil kind of smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Hi there." she greeted her. Leila stood up straight and smiled at her. "Hello...Would you care for some granola?" Shannon raised her right hand in the air as if she was trying to dismiss her. "Oh, thanks but no thanks.I only eat organic veggies." Leila secretly counted from one to ten to calm herself.
