Event #1 "Oh no!"

[Andrei Novosad]

Andrei has finally finished cleaning up the mess his relatives left behind: old books, clothes, dolls, that stupid dollhouse, tons of Coke and beer bottles. He let out a frustrated sigh. It's not HIS fault that he can't just say "NO"... right? If he had a garage or something that would be no biggie and he let all three of his older sisters and their daughters and sons leave all of their old belongings there! His service room served (haha, get it! "service room served") as some kind storage until Miss Truman (Why did she even change her surname from Hepburn? It suited her more!) found out like this morning.

Andrei walked outside, his eyes squinting from wind and rain. Poor Copper, even under the roof he wasn't safe from all this shitty weather. "Copper!" he called for his friend and has finally noticed the collar. The leash was still tied to the railing but Copper was gone. "..FUCK!" Andrei untied the leash. "FUCK NO NO NO NO!" the man looked around for clues. AHA! The dirty pawprints lead inside the school, so that means that his pupper still can be somewhere here. Andrei could get in big trouble for it, but he didn't fucking care! "Don't worry, buddy! Papa's here!" Andrei ran back upstairs to check on the service room first.

[Christopher Kresh]

A long while after andrei had walked in the halls chris stumbled outside into the hallway as he started walking. He needed some air and basically just a space that was less crowded. There was too much going on and the redhead felt as if he didn't have the ability to keep up with it. It made him nauseous to think about another fight that could break out or another shocking thing to be revealed. Or worse kishi coming back to yell at them.
He stopped in the hallway catching his breath. As if kishi would miss him. She barely noticed him to begin with.

[Tara Macfly]

Tara didn't even thought of what Miss Kishi would do if she came back in the auditorium. The only thing she had in mind were chris's hands shaking. She didn't think about anything else.

She even collided with Misha  going outside of the auditorium who told her to watch where she was going. Tara was sorry but she didn't have time to stop and to apologize. She hoped she would remember to do that later. The last thing she wanted was to make the prankster angry with her. 

She followed Chris in the hallway and then he stopped in the entrance hall, he seemed to need to catch his breath.

Tara approached him slowly and took place in front of him, not wanting to scare him with her sudden appearance
.
"Hey Chris, are you okay ?"

She wanted to slap herself immediatly after she asked this.

"Does he really seems okay to you ? Idiot !"

"Sorry stupid question." She add quickly, affraid to make Chris feel worse. 

She then put her hand on his shoulder slowly, ready to take it off, if Chris was uncorfotable with this.

"Do you want to talk about it, Chris ? If not we can just rest here until you're better and talk about anything else ?" She smiled sweetly at him, wanting to do everything she can to help her friend feeling better.

[Christopher Kresh]

Chris looked up hearing a familiar voice.
“Hey chris, are you okay?”
It was tara. He looked at her. Had she followed him. He didn't want her to get in trouble or whatever. “Tara.. hey" he said softly as he tried his best to smile.
“sorry stupid question” tara said. Chris shook his head. “nah.. don't worry" he tried to assure her. “uhm.. y-yeah.. im okay" he said. It was.. half of the truth" he sighed hearing her following question. It didn't feel good to sugar coat things for tara. Tara and he had been good friends and she deserved his honesty.
“.. i just needed some air.. things were getting too overwhelming in there hehe…” he said as he avoided her eyes for a moment as he looked down at his hands as he just wanted to stop them from shaking. He didn't want tara to worry about him just because everything was getting a bit much. He tried to act lightly about it.
“Don't worry about it.. just..Ryan punched Alexander, kishi came in yelling, the whole commotion with the dog knocking over people and the starting fight between alejandra and nerissa..” he didn't know what was up with kairi and peyton but he honestly didn't want to find out. Not because he didn't care, he did in some way as he just wished them the best, but he just didn't want to be involved as it just wasn't his business and he wasn't exactly close to either of them.
He looked at tara. “how have you been yourself..?” he asked as he was kind of concerned for tara as well.

[Tara Macfly]

Chris tried to smile when he saw Tara. But the brunette was a specialist of fake smiling she could tell that if he was a little happy to see her, he wasn't definitly well.

“.. i just needed some air.. things were getting too overwhelming in there hehe…” he said as he looked down at his hands. They were still shaking. Tara tried to take his hands in her own, hopping they could stop shaking. She smiled gently at him encouraging him to continue if he wanted to.

“Don't worry about it.. just..Ryan punched Alexander" He said in a light tone, but Tara could tell it was forced.

Wait ! What ? Ryan punched Alex ? Thinking about it she saw "male Al" when she was going outside the auditorium and his face seemed bruised or something ? She didn't have pay really much attention, too focused on Chris.

But what happened ? She didn't knew Ryan very well, only what everyone knew that he was Maverick high best's athlete, Miss Truman's son and Nancy's ex.
And Chris was kinda friend with him, but the blond didn't want it public. She didn't like it at all but Chris seemed fine with it so she tell nothing.
But he wasn't a bully was he ? Bad memories krept in her mind thinking about it.

"Stop it Tara ! Don't think about it. And not everything is related to bullying. It's probably just a stupid boy's fight".

But she still wanted to know more about this story between Ryan and "male Al", to be sure it was nothing more than a fight between two teenages boys. But she didn't want to interrupt Chris with it. She continued to listen to him, keeping somewhere in her mind to ask someone later about it.

"kishi came in yelling" Chris continued "the whole commotion with the dog knocking over people and the starting fight between alejandra and nerissa..” And then he stopped.

"Yeah I understand it was really owerwhelming. It's been only ten minutes I was in the auditorium and I already wanted leave" It wasn't even a joke, even if she hadn't seen Chris leave, she would have probably leave anyway. But she tell it in a light tone. "Too much drama in this drama club, huh ?" She tried to joke.

"Anyway" She add a little more seriously and began to rub his hands "Everything is fine now. Here it's just you and me. No stupid fights, no scarry teachers. Just us and the empty entrance hall. And we will rest here as mush as you wish". She smiled sweetly at him.

“how have you been yourself..?” Chris asked. Tara's smile grew bigger at this. Chris was so sweet, always thinking about others before himslef. She was so blessed to have him as a friend.

"Honestly I don't really know. Good and bad things happened today. So I have mixed feelings" She kept her answer simple and honest. She didn't want to go in an entire rant about the afternoon, when Chris wasn't feeling well himslef. Maybe at an other moment when they would both feel better. "But I'm used to it, I know my mind isn't exactly the simplest" She add chuckling.

She thought again about today : Amanda's nice blub idea, the tea moment with the red head and Esme, the unknown dog, Amanda leaving, chris' text telling miss kishi's was angry at the sweet girl, her outburst in front of Esme, the raven haired girl consoling her, Copper being found and being the sweetest doggo, her nice interaction with Nancy, Arielle and Pidge, the "almost" fight between Nerissa and female Al, Chris not feeling well. Yeah she couldn't tell if it was a bad or a good day in the end.

She sighed, feeling totally exhausted.

"I want to rest here with you forever and never go in the auditorium ever. Sounds like a plan, huh ?" She laughed but she was only middly joking. She didn't feel to go in the auditorium back soon. Too stressfull. Here talking with her friend, it was way nicer.

[Christopher Kresh]

Tara gently took his hands and Chris took a deep breath as he sighed. He was glad to know someone had his back. He seriously didn't know what to do without her. He looked up at her. She was smiling. Tara was always smiling. She was so kind but Chis knew that under that smile was a girl who didn’t have it easy herself.
He noticed the look on her face when he was telling her about what had happened. He could see she was worrying. She could keep smiling but her eyes were telling the truth.
When he was done he waited for her response

"Yeah I understand it was really owerwhelming. It's been only ten minutes I was in the auditorium and I already wanted leave" She said. Christ could honestly understand that. There was a grim atmosphere even with the dog making things a little better. He just.. Didn't want to be involved. If anything was to happen. Who was he? He wasn't Like Alexander, Phillip or Ryan. He wasn't someone who stood out and people actually listened to. He was just another face in the crowd. Who would listen to him?
"Too much drama in this drama club, huh ?" His thoughts were interupted by tara’s attempt to joke. He actually let out a small chuckle. “ yeah, but then again what did we expect by joining it right?” he tried to weakly joke with her to lighten up the mood as he held her hands a bit tighter. However tara turned a bit more serious "Anyways, Everything is fine now. Here it's just you and me. No stupid fights, no scarry teachers. Just us and the empty entrance hall. And we will rest here as mush as you wish". He smiled genuinely at her. It was touching how she was here calming him. She didn't need to but she was still there for him. He was glad to see her smile grow as he asked her about her day.

"Honestly I don't really know. Good and bad things happened today. So I have mixed feelings" She told him. "But I'm used to it, I know my mind isn't exactly the simplest" He nodded. “ Well, I am glad good things happened. then it wasn't a bad day right?” he asked as he smiled at her. “ And yeah.. we both know you tend to over-think a lot” he teased slightly. “ Even when that's not even needed.” he added in a more caring manner. He really hoped to be able to help tara with her doubtful mind. He understood where she came from however, and he himself wasn't exactly that much better so he tried not to be a hypocrite.

"I want to rest here with you forever and never go in the auditorium ever. Sounds like a plan, huh ?" Chris let out a weak chuckle. “ Sounds like it would spare us a lot of drama” he agreed with a small smile. “ but then again.. we might need to if we want to stay part of the club” he said as he looked at her. She looked tired. “ But that doesn't mean we have to this minute” It seemed as if tara could use the air also. “ I heard something about heathers being the new play.. maybe you get something to keep your mind of the actual drama” he tried to cheer her up a little.

[Tara Macfly]

“ yeah, but then again what did we expect by joining it right?” Chris said teasingly after her bad joke about drama.

"Pff yeah of course if we didn't want drama, it was the last club we should be in. We shouldn't complain. What is a drama club without drama, anyway ?" She add in the same teasing voice.

“ Well, I am glad good things happened. then it wasn't a bad day right?” he asked as he smiled at her.

Tara looked at him thoughtful. She remembered the day and focused about all the good things that happened. And yeah it wasn't definitly a bad day, when thought about all her successfull interactions with Amanda, Esme, Nancy, and Arielle. And of course the cute doggo. Definitly a winning day.

"Yeah you're right, I really should learn to just see the good things and forget the bad ones." She really hope one day she could do that.

"And what about you ? I really hope good things also happened to you today." She added "I think i saw you talking with Riley. Is she nice ?" She didn't talked a lot with the girl but for what she saw she was really friendly. One of the person tara would love to have more opportunity to talk to. And she was always happy when her friend made new friends.

“ And yeah.. we both know you tend to over-think a lot” he teased slightly.

She laughed really freely at that. Oh yeah she fraking knew that. It was nice to laugh about it with a friend.

“ Even when that's not even needed.” he added in a more caring manner.

She smiled gently at him. Yeah most of a time she rots her life with overthinking every little things and most of the time stupid things. She was depriving herself of many friendships because of it. Sometimes she even wondered by what miracle did she become friend with Chris with this mind.

"I'll try to change this" she said softly. Not really trusting herself. How many times did she tell her that already ? 

“ Sounds like it would spare us a lot of drama” he agreed with a small smile at her prosposition to stay in the entrance hall forever. “ but then again.. we might need to if we want to stay part of the club”

She sighed a little. Yeah he was right, they should get going very soon. Miss Kishi will soon find Amanda or be tired of searching for her and come back to the auditorium. And she didn't saw the drama teacher herself today, but she could really well imagine how angry she was. And if she came back, those who were missing would be certainly punished. Maybe fired from the club. And this was one of the last thing Tara wanted. Drama has always been her life, even more today. Even if this was more stressfull since Kishi's divorce, she couldn't be fired from the club.

“ But that doesn't mean we have to this minute” Chris added.

Tara smiled She really didn't feel like going back immediatly. Some more minutes here with Chris wouldn't do anything wrong, right ?

"Yeah maybe we could rest five, ten minutes here before going back to affront our destiny" She told jokingly.

“ I heard something about heathers being the new play.. maybe you get something to keep your mind of the actual drama” her smile grew bigger when Chris began to talk about the new play.

"Yeah it's heather, Nancy and Arielle confirmed it to me earlier. I really like this musical. Do you like it too ? I think I will audition for Veronica. But well a lot of girls had a better voice than me : Nancy, Arielle, Emery, Naya, and a lot of others girls from the club. But Nancy told me she would gladly give me some courses so I have maybe a chance ? She's the best teacher. But I would be happy with anything Miss Kishi think I could do right." She said without even breathing, she was too excited about the play. "Sorry, I talk to much sometimes, tell me if I annoy you" she giggled 

But then she stopped, she wanted to tell Chris something, but she knew it wasn't a very easy subject. She knew about his stagefright. But he was so much talented. It was a shame no one else could see it. She didn't know if she should say what she thought. Chris seemed better now, she didn't want to stress him again. After a minute of reflection, she decided to abord the subject even if she knew she will probably regret it instantly
.

"You know I think you would do a great J.D, your voice is perfect for him" she tried but regretted imediatly. She really didn't want to put any pressure on her friend. That because of it he would feel bad if he didn't audition"But of course I'm not telling you, you should audition. Well unleast if you want to, of course." she added quickly. She really wanted to slap herself.

"You're an idiot Tara. You should definitly learn to shut up sometimes".

[Christopher Kresh]

Chris was glad that Tara could make him feel at ease this easilly. He remembered how he would often just hide in the bathroom by himself and splash cold water in his face until he felt like he was able to get out of the bathroom without looking like an emotional mess. this was way better.
"Pff yeah of course if we didn't want drama, it was the last club we should be in. We shouldn't complain. What is a drama club without drama, anyway ?" Tara joked
Chris chuckled weakly as he playfully rolled his eyes. “ Club would be a lame answer right?” he added.

he saw how she seemed to be thinking about her day. after a moment of thinking she nodded. "Yeah you're right, I really should learn to just see the good things and forget the bad ones." Chris was glad to hear that. “ That's what I like to hear” he said smiling more genuine. People had been mean enough to tara. the last thing the girl needed was to be mean to herself too, chris thought.

"And what about you ? I really hope good things also happened to you today." She said "I think i saw you talking with Riley. Is she nice ?" tara asked. “ heh..” Chris looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck. “ Yeah, I decided to see if she was okay after all the commotion because.. well she seems to be a little quiet.. not that that's bad, but yeah.. If you stay quiet it's easy for people to forget you.. I would know” He smiled weakly. “ But yeah. She is really nice. Talented also. I saw some of her drawings and man they are amazing really..!” He said as he looked up. He then blushed realizing he was rambling. “ sorry I’m rambling..” he said. “ anyways. Elizabeth also joined the talk later on so i decided to ehm.. you know leave them to talk” he said. He was completely convinced Riley would most likely like to talk to elizabeth more anyways.

At his comment about her overthinking Tara seemed to laugh. after that she stopped and began to speak "I'll try to change this" she said. Chris looked at her. He could see her doubt but decided not to comment on it.

It seemed as if tara was just as stoked on going back as he was. He actually kind of liked this. Just them getting along. Nobody looking at them, judging for whatever reason they had. "Yeah maybe we could rest five, ten minutes here before going back to affront our destiny" she said after his comment. Chris let out a small chuckle and nodded. “ that sounds like a great plan.” he agreed. It was enough time for them to catch up a bit and just center themselves again.

When chris started about heathers he could just see how taras face lit up with excitement. "Yeah it's heathers, Nancy and Arielle confirmed it to me earlier. I really like this musical. Do you like it too ? I think I will audition for Veronica. But well a lot of girls had a better voice than me : Nancy, Arielle, Emery, Naya, and a lot of others girls from the club. But Nancy told me she would gladly give me some courses so I have maybe a chance ? She's the best teacher. But I would be happy with anything Miss Kishi think I could do right." Chris smiled, amused by the fact she was now the one who was rambling. “ I'm sure you would make a great veronica” he told her. “ And actually i think you would nail any role that's given to you. you have the talent to play whatever.” he complimented her. “ the only role i can not see you play is heather chandler.” he added “ you're too kind for that” he explained. "Sorry, I talk to much sometimes, tell me if I annoy you" tara added with a giggle. Chris shook his head smiling. “ Never” he said.

Tara seemed to think about something. He could read it on her face. He waited patiently until she found the courage to ask. "You know I think you would do a great J.D, your voice is perfect for him" At this chris didn't know how to answer. "But of course I'm not telling you, you should audition. Well unleast if you want to, of course." He could see she was trying to not make him uncomfortable. “ uhm..” he looked at the ground thinking before speaking. “ that's really nice of you” he said as he looked up giving her a weak smile. “ But.. I don't think i stand a chance.” He added. he made a hand motion at himself. “ I mean.. look at me.” he said. “ if i didn't have stage fright, I wouldn't make the cast because well.. there are far better options.” He knew that the main roles would go to more talented people, and also.. better looking people then him. “ I think.. the only musical i might stand a chance.. would be “dear evan hansen” , or “be more chill”.. mostly because i don't have to try and act as if i have anxiety it's all au naturel” he tried to turn his stage fright and social anxiety into a joke. He knew both musicals by heart. Waving through a window and “Michael in the bathroom” were songs he could absolutely relate to and he had been singing them at home a lot.


( OOC NOTE; these are the songs Chris is mentioning
Waving through a window - dear evan hansen;

[Tara Macfly]

“ Club would be a lame answer right?” Chris joked.

Tara tried to keep a serious face and to give chris a glare for his bad joke but she couldn't help but chucke.

"You're lucky I have the same lame humour" she said giggling.

“ heh..” Chris looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck after Tara's ask about Riley. “ Yeah, I decided to see if she was okay after all the commotion because.. well she seems to be a little quiet.. not that that's bad, but yeah.. If you stay quiet it's easy for people to forget you.. I would know” He said smiling a little.

At  first Tara smiled. Chris was really the sweetest thinking about everyone wellbeing, when everyone, and Tara herself, was focused on Amanda's new club. But then her heart broke at the last part of his sentence.

It was true that alas if you weren't an extrovert and funny, people would tend to forget your name. "And sometimes, it's not even enough" she thought sadly. She was trying to be the extrovert, funny and kind girl but she thought that not a lot of people, even in the drama club knew who she was "No" she corrected herself "You're not trying, you're extrovert, positive and funny, you are like this, you always was". But Chris was the kindest person she knew, one of the best thing that happened to her recently, it hurt herall the time to see how lowly the boy thought of himslef

"You're not forgettable Chris. Please remember this." she said seriously "You may be introvert but when someone know you, thay saw how much of a wonderful person you are. And they won't forget you. pernonally I won't" She said kindly.

“ But yeah. She is really nice. Talented also. I saw some of her drawings and man they are amazing really..!” He said enthusiastically about Riley. He then blushed. “ sorry I’m rambling..” he said.

"Don't excuse yourself, it's always  nice to see someone talking like this about something or someone" she smiled gently. Tara was happy that Chris met another friend. One who seemed really kind futhermore. Chris deserved good frienships. "Oh yeah I saw her draw sometimes I never dare to ask to see her work. Anyway she seems really to be a nice girl. I should really try to know her more." Maybe she could do this if they were both invited in this tea party Arielle wanted to do. She should talk about this to Chris too, but she didn't know yet if boys could come. 

“ anyways. Elizabeth also joined the talk later on so i decided to ehm.. you know leave them to talk” he said.

Tara frowned a little at this. She was way too familiar with this type of thinking. Being with a friend, an aquaintance and your mind always saying "They want to be with anyone else but you".  It was one thing her and Chris have sadly in comon. So she couldn't really tell him he shouldn't think like this. It would ne the pot calling the kettle black.

"You know I think she wouldn't have mind if you have talk to her and Elizabeth" She said symply "Anyway I hope you could talk to her soon, then and that you could become friends." She added with a wink. 

“ I'm sure you would make a great veronica” he told her after she told him about her wish to have the lead role.

"Thank you' She said blushing with a bright smile. Complimenting her about her acting capacities was always one of the best compliments. 

“ And actually i think you would nail any role that's given to you. you have the talent to play whatever.” he complimented her. “ the only role i can not see you play is heather chandler.” he added “ you're too kind for that” he explained.

She giggled a little at this but then thought about what chris said "Now that you said it... I want to play veronica because I identify with her a lot but I'm very different from heather chandler, So it would be a more interinsting challenge to play her than Veronica. I should maybe audition for her role. Hmmm... Both I will audition for both I think". She rambled again. "And if you can't see me play this, my competitive and drama side want to prove you that i'm the perfect Heather Chandler ever" she added with a playful wink.

“ uhm..” he looked at the ground thinking before speaking after she talked about his capacity to play J.D.

"Why did I say that ? i'm an idiot" Her mind said constatly.

“ that's really nice of you” he said as he looked up giving her a weak smile.

She relaxed a little. She could saw that he was a little unconfortable by his smile, alas. But he had take her commentary well. 

“ But.. I don't think i stand a chance.” He added. he made a hand motion at himself. “ I mean.. look at me.” he said. “ if i didn't have stage fright, I wouldn't make the cast because well.. there are far better options.” He knew that the main roles would go to more talented people, and also.. better looking people then him. “ I think.. the only musical i might stand a chance.. would be “dear evan hansen” , or “be more chill”.. mostly because i don't have to try and act as if i have anxiety it's all au naturel” he tried to turn his stage fright and social anxiety into a joke.

The last part of his discourse, made her sad, even if he try to talk lightly about his anxiety. But she gave him a small smile anyway. 

For her he was the perfect J.D. He had one of the most -if not the most- beautiful voice between the boys. And yeah he would do a wonderful Evan or Michael because he identify to them, understand them. But Tara liked challenge and giving chris J.D's role would be really interesting and she knew that her friend would have the capacity to do this even if it was out of his comfort zone. If not for his stagefright. She would definitly give Chris J.D's role, knowing his capacities even if he wasn't her friend.

But Tara wasn't the drama teacher. Miss Kishi was. And well she didn't knew if she would take Chris evenif he didn't have stagefright.She had the tendencie to always choose the same people for the lead roles. And these people were of course really talented but sometimes the line between talent and favoritisme was thin. So maybe Chris was right even if she really hoped that Kishi choose her actors because of the talent and nothing else. 

So she didn't know really what to answer to Chris.

"You know" she began thinking about her next words carefully "I really think it's a shame that I'm one of the only person who know about your voice. But I understand your stagefright and I will never push you to do something you're uncomfortable with. I just want you to know that if one day you want to try to audition I will definitly be in the room to support you.  And that I will always be a great fan of your talent. You're talented, no matter if others saw this or not. I forbid your anxiety to make you forget this or make you think otherwise. I will be here anyway to make you remember." She said seriously.

"Do you know I could sell my family to have a voice like yours ?" She added teasingly after a moment to clear the air and make Chris more comfortable.

"And you know I really don't mind the exclusivity of youre voice, it make me feel special" she added with a wink.

Now she really hoped that this conversation didn't make Chris feel worse.

[Christopher Kresh]

Chris was glad tara shared his kind of humor. He didn't have to worry about lame jokes.

The read haired boy saw how the expression of his friend changed. Tara’s smile vanished as she looked at him. "You're not forgettable Chris. Please remember this." she said seriously "You may be an introvert but when someone knows you, they see how much of a wonderful person you are. And they won't forget you. personally I won't" tara told him with a kind and genuine smile.
Chris was touched really. Tara really was a blessing from above. He felt a lot better with her at his side. It made him a little more confident knowing tara had his back and he had hers. “ thanks tara.. that's really nice of you.. I'm glad you think so.”

They spoke a bit more about riley and he was glad tara didn't mind his rambling.
"Oh yeah I saw her draw sometimes I never dare to ask to see her work. Anyway she seems really to be a nice girl. I should really try to know her more." Tara said. Chris smiled. “ Oh yes you should! I think you two could get along.” he told her. As far as he had seen riley was kind and wasn't really that in your face as some other people from the drama club were. "You know I think she wouldn't have mind if you have talk to her and Elizabeth" She said "Anyway I hope you could talk to her soon, then and that you could become friends." She added with a wink. Chris let out a shy chuckle as he looked away. “ Only if she feels like that as well. I mean.. i wouldn't want to bother her if she just decided to talk to me because she was being polite” he said with a small shrug. “ But I guess I’ll find out” he said trying to stay positive.

Chris was glad she appreciated his compliment about the play. If his compliments could help her even a little bit with her confidence then he would continue doing so. Plus they were genuine compliments. nothing wrong with that. "Now that you said it... I want to play veronica because I identify with her a lot but I'm very different from heather chandler, So it would be a more interesting challenge to play her than Veronica. I should maybe audition for her role. Hmmm... Both I will audition for both I think" tara said as she appeared to be in thoughts "And if you can't see me play this, my competitive and drama side want to prove you that i'm the perfect Heather Chandler ever" She said happily. Chris chuckled as he smiled at her. “ I mean, I guess so! You should totally audition for both” he said as he agreed.

Chris became a bit hesitant when they talked about him. You know" tara began "I really think it's a shame that I'm one of the only person who know about your voice. But I understand your stagefright and I will never push you to do something you're uncomfortable with. I just want you to know that if one day you want to try to audition I will definitely be in the room to support you. And that I will always be a great fan of your talent. You're talented, no matter if others saw this or not. I forbid your anxiety to make you forget this or make you think otherwise. I will be here anyway to make you remember." She said seriously. Chris smiled at this. “ I am truly blessed with a friend like you” he said as he rubbed the back of his neck with a shy smile. “ Yeah.. I mean.. in all honesty? You and my dad are the only ones who know.. and i think nancy might.. suspect something, but .. i don't know.. I just.. I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable on stage. Plus… I can't act. I really can’t. “ He told her. “ But i am happy to know that you have my back” He added.

"Do you know I could sell my family to have a voice like yours ?" for some reason chris couldn't help but burst out in a chuckle. “ oh please.” he said with a small smile. “ I'm not that good. and your poor family. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.” he teased. "And you know I really don't mind the exclusivity of your voice, it make me feel special" She joked as she winked at him. He smiled. “ well don't worry. that will not change soon” he laughed. no he didn't want to make a fool of himself.

[Tara Macfly]

“ Oh yes you should! I think you two could get along.” Chris told Tara about Riley. She really hoped he was right. It would really be nice, if Chris and her could become friends with the artistic girl. 

Her smile dropped a little when Chris answered her comment about him becoming friend with the brunette.

“ Only if she feels like that as well. I mean.. i wouldn't want to bother her if she just decided to talk to me because she was being polite. But I guess I’ll find out” he said shrugging.

Tara wanted so much to say "Come on Chris, of course she want to become your friend, you're one of the loveliest person I know". But she restrained herself this time. He would probably said thait it was not true, that she said that because she was her friend, etc. She knew she was like him but it hurt her so much, that Chris thought that everyone was only polite with him when they talked to him and that they couldn't genuinely want to know him more. It hurt her because he was the first person after a long time -apart of Snooty but it was special- who she trusted instantly and could feel he was a genuinely nice person. 

"How could I make him understand how much he is a wonderful,not only friend but also human being ?" 

"Yeah only time could tell" she eventually said "But it would really astonish me if she doesn't appreciate you" she couldn't help to add

“ I am truly blessed with a friend like you” he said as he rubbed the back of his neck with a shy smile.

Tara's heart melt at this comment and she truly smile. She really didn't think that she was a great friend, quite the contrary. But Chris telling her that... It meant the world. And she could nearly believe him. 

"Well... Thank you" she said smiling widly "I'm glad what I said make you feel a little better, but truly I should be the one to said that about you".

“ Yeah.. I mean.. in all honesty? You and my dad are the only ones who know.. and i think nancy might.. suspect something," He add

"Thank you again to have trust me with you secret. I know how much this is important to you" she said. She had really felt blessed when her friend confide into her about his talent " And Yeah I wouldn't be surprised about Nancy if she knew, I think this girl has a sixth sense with talent" 

"but .. i don't know.. I just.. I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable on stage. Plus… I can't act. I really can’t. “ He told her. “ But i am happy to know that you have my back” He added.

Tara felt a little bit conflicted. Of course not everyone could blossom, be happy and free on stage like her. And Chris didn't need to have a role in a play to be happy. And his talent was present no matter if he showed it to the others.
But in the same time, she really felt like if Chris could overcome his stagefright and maybe learn some acting, he would be one of the best promising talents in the drama club. 
But she wouldn't force him and she wouldn't diminish his stagefright. It was not because she didn't feel any stagefright or anxiety when she was playing a role, that it should be the same for everyone, she knew it. Not everyone could deal the same way with this. And she knew personally, it was not easy, not at all, to overcome it.

"I will always have your back" she said patting his back.

The red head clucked loudly after her joke about selling her parents for his voice. “ oh please.” he said with a small smile. “ I'm not that good. and your poor family. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.” he teased.

"Oh don't worry they will understand. Sacrifces must be made for success. But I think we could arrange ourselves without doing something this drastic. " she joked. " I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is... your voice." She said trying her best imitation of Ursula from the little mermaid.


“ well don't worry. that will not change soon” Chris said after she told him she loved the exclusivity she had with his voice. 

That made her sad, but she accepted it. One day maybe Chris would want to share his talent with others, maybe not. She would support him anyway.

She felt good with Chris in the empty hentrance hall, joking, talking about the new play, even about heavy subjects it felt more easy with the boy. But her gaze fell on her watch. They were here far more longer than the five/ten minutes she had ask initially. The more they wait, the more miss Kishi could return, and the more they could have problems. She sighed deeply.

"I really didn't think, I could have said that one day about drama, but I really but really don't want to return. " she said tired "especially that after Al and ryan, and Nerissa and... Al -is the name Al linked to fighting ?- , it's most likely that when we will came back we will have another fight" she joked. Well she hoped she joked because if they return and others teenagers where ready to battle against each other, she would definitly go, Miss Kishi or not. She nearly had a panick attack after witnessing the not really fight between Nerissa and female Al, so she definitly couldn't deal with teenage bullshit. "But yeah there is a high probability that Miss Kishi came back soon... so..." She sighed again she really, but really didn't want to leave now the calm entrance hall "if you feel like it, we should go back with the others" she said trying to smile and being positive. Chris and her will be together in this mess now, so this couldn't go wrong, right ?

Finally all that was left for Tristan and himself was to get all their belongings and just exit school. Sure, the teacher may be pissed at them but he knew that his little brother definitely would need the time out. So what harm could it do if just this one time they left a tick earlier? He thought to himself, walking through the entrance hall.

The time has stopped. Nothing's mattered anymore. A harrowing woman's scream tore into the air. Thump. Pain. Silence. The glass window of the entrance doors was splattered with blood. With her eyes wide open, she lay on the porch of the school, smiling, staring into nothing.

Amanda was dead.

Before any of the students, who were present in the entrance hall could react, they have felt the ground trembling, making them fall back to the floor everytime they've tried to get up. The rush of white noise blocked all of their hearing. Blood pumped into their veins, their stomachs felt like they're on fire on the inside. Everything has ended in a matter of seconds. The world has faded to black; one by one all of the students lost consciousness.

Just as Phillip was about to open the doors, suddenly his whole world started to crumble into pieces. A second ago he had been happy about the day as it got him closer to his brother. As he now was seeing Amandas, one of his best and oldest friends, his dear sister figure, dead corpse lying on the concrete. He wanted to run to her, scream at her with the last bits of hope he had for her wellbeing. However as with the sight of his deceased friends body he wasn´t tortured enough yet, suddenly the groud started to tremble and before he could react, his whole turned black.

Chris smiled a bit at tara’s response. "Yeah only time could tell. But it would really astonish me if she doesn't appreciate you" He let out a small chuckle. “ you're too kind” he said as he appreciated his friend trying to cheer him up. The compliments that followed made him smile as he blushed slightly as he wasn't used to someone talking to him like this. God tara was so nice.

"Thank you again to have trust me with you secret. I know how much this is important to you" tara said. He smiled a bit. “ Ofcourse i do” he said as he nodded at her. He trusted her fully. Even Though he still broke out sweating thinking about singing in public, even if it was just her, he trusted her. " And Yeah I wouldn't be surprised about Nancy if she knew, I think this girl has a sixth sense with talent" Tara added. Chris shrugged. “ I don't know..” he mumbled. After his thanks she got to him and patted his back. "I will always have your back" she said. Chris smiled. “ thanks.. And I’ll have yours.” he added as he gave her a serious look. He was. He didn't think anyone here would judge her but if they did chris would be there to help tara out.

"Oh don't worry they will understand. Sacrifices must be made for success. But I think we could arrange ourselves without doing something this drastic. " she joked. " I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is... your voice." Tara said after their joke about her family. He remembered the lines. They were from the famous sea witch. He chuckled. “ Sorry miss ursula i think you're after another red headed person.” he joked with her.

they joked around a bit some more as tara’s expression changed. "I really didn't think, I could have said that one day about drama, but I really but really don't want to return. " tara said as she looked kind of tired. Chris could agree. They needed a hot cup of tea and some relaxing in his opinion. "especially that after Al and ryan, and Nerissa and... Al -is the name Al linked to fighting ?- , it's most likely that when we will came back we will have another fight" Chris shrugged. “ I really hope not.” he said as he knew both al’s a little and did not wish them harm. He also wanted to check up with ryan but didn't think he was the right person to calm him down. Nerissa.. yeah he had never really talked to her but still.

“But yeah there is a high probability that Miss Kishi came back soon... so..." Chris looked up. he had a feeling of what she was hinting at. “ yeah.. You're right” he said "if you feel like it, we should go back with the others" Chris nodded. “ That might be a wise--” he stopped talking as he saw Phillip pass them. Huh? Did the drama club end already? He turned to ask Phillip. “ Hey uh.. Phillip did-”

He was cut off by a horrid scream. His eyes widened as he saw someone fall on the concrete at the porch of the school. his jaw dropped seeing the blood splatter against the glass windows of the door as he just froze. He could feel how his breath was stuck in his throat unable to say or do anything as he just stood there, shaking. T-That.. That was a person. he was way too shocked to get that through his mind. Suddenly the ground began the shake and it seemed to bring him back to reality a little as he turned back to tara with a horrified expression. If this was an earthquake he had to get his friend to safety. “ Tara-..!” he tried to hold on to his surroundings as everything was shaking. A sudden pain made him grab his stomach as he let go of the wall and fell on his knees. He teared up as the pain was unbearable as he tried to get to his friend trying to see if she was okay. Before he knew if he had reached her he blacked out.
