After doing warm-up exercises, they finally started with the rehearsals. Nate and Celine are called onstage to practice their scenes together.Once they were finished, Mr. Alford called Nate and Celine to give them his feedback."The way you deliver your lines is too strong, Celine. Remember, not too strong nor, not so soft. You should say your lines clearly and with conviction. Am I making any sense?" "Yes, sir." I responded, while nodding in return."And Nate, I think that you were amazing. Your voice perfectly blends well with Celine. My advise to you two, is just to continue practicing. Both of you should practice, even on your free time." Director Alford suggested."Thank you for your one-on-one talk, sir." Nate thanked their Director. As the both of them started going down the stage, Nate suddenly moved closer to me. Then, he whispered:"Sir Alford is right. We should practice more, just the two if us." he informs Celine. “That's a good idea.” I whispered back, trying not to

"Good morning, everyone! I'm so sorry for being late!" Nate suddenly made his entrance, while gasping for breath."You're not that late, Nate. We're still doing warm ups." the old director reassures him."Thank you, Sir." Nate heaved a sigh of relief. Then afterwards, he walks towards his cast mates to join them."Celine isn't here yet?" Nate asked everyone, while looking worried."Yeah. Maybe she overslept?" Nick did a wild guess.Nate's brows met in a curious frown when he saw Gale giving him a challenging stare. He doesn't have any idea on why he's looking at him like that...===========================Twenty minutes have passed, but Celine is still missing in action. But the Director still went ahead with their rehearsals, as scheduled."Today, we're going to discuss the list of songs for our musical play. Next week, a pianist will be here so that we can start with your vocal rehearsals." Director Alford informs everyone on what they will be expecting at the rehearsals next week.

As the night deepens, Celine is still unable to sleep. She decided to get up, walk out from her room and decided to warm up some milk so that she can relax and feel sleepy.And coincidentally, Celine caught Nick as well, drinking one mug of milk.They are now enjoying their own mugs of milk , while chatting to each other "What would you feel after the Finale night, Celine?" Nick suddenly asks Celine, out of the blue."Of course, I'll feel sad." commented Celine."Me too. I mean, I know the boys have been fooling around and we sometimes get irritated with each other but we're still a family." Nick suddenly became serious."I agree with you. But even if the play is over, we're still friends, right?" said Celine."Absolutely! Nothing will change..." Nick reassures Celine.Celine suddenly changes her mind about Nick. He can be a clown especially when he is with Nate, Gale and Justin, but deep inside, he can be a warm, kind and gentle person...============================The next mornin

At Drew's apartment."Are you sure you're alright, Drew? Do you think it's better to see a doctor?" Erika worriedly asks Drew."Erika, stop worrying. I was able to jump out on the last minute." Drew reassures her, as he went to the fridge to get them some drinks."Well, that's a relief." Erika said, sounding suddenly tired and weary.At the same time, Drew suddenly made a mental flashback on what happened awhile ago... Everything happened so fast, and he's just thankful because nothing happened to him. It feels like a deja vu, as the same thing happened to him few years ago...Drew finally made a decision, and he wants Erika to hear about it."Erika." he calls for her attention.Erika snaps her head up and stared at Drew."Hmm?" she asks, waiting for him to speak again."I'm leaving as soon as possible. I don't want to get involve with any musical plays and stage plays from now on." Drew finally decided.Erika quickly stood up,obviously shocked with Drew's announcement."I know you
