THE PLAY IMMEDIATELY HAPPENED THE DAY AFTER THAT. 

The moment Laia entered the auditorium, everyone seemed to be doing something whether it be rehearsing their lines on the corner of the room or perfecting their stances and facial expressions.

Jake and the asshat were talking to each other nearby her, but she knew it would seem awkward to approach them so she crossed it off her mind.

"Laia! Go backstage, please!"

Her adviser's voice brought Laia back to her senses as she quickly made her way to the backstage on where Brie also was.

"Hey!" Brie motions her friend to approach with a wave.

"Brie, don't move!" Thalia, who was fixing Brie's hair, hissed.

Laia fought the urge to laugh when Brie had to apologize profusely to an obviously irritated Thalia.

Instead of going to where her friend was, she decided to approach Shane, who was practicing her lines.

"Hi," Laia awkwardly greets.
