Farrah's POV

"How much longer is this going to go on?" Rocky groaned quietly, as we watched Jackson attempt to perform a magic trick on Ethan

"Eh, give him a break. He's just happy." I smirked, thinking about the night before

"Yeah, a little too happy. Got anything to confess, short stack?" She taunted, hoping for a certain response

I only shrugged in response, fueling her playful annoyance, as she lightly smacked me in the arm.

"Seven of clubs?" Jackson asked, bringing our attention back to his magic attempt

"No." Ethan denied, growing annoyed with his many guesses

"The two of diamonds?" Jackson tried, again.

"Yes." Ethan nodded at the teen

Jackson face broke out into an excited smile, "Really?"

"No, I just want this to be over." Ethan groaned, flopping onto Max's bed

I took the deck from Jackson's hands, pulling a random card out of the middle, which just happened to be a four of spades.

"By some miracle, and 1/52 chance, was this your card?" I asked, moving my fingers around for dramatic effect

"Holy crap. How'd you do that?" Ethan gasped, sitting up straighter

Jackson crossed his arms and looked at me, waiting for an explanation, as well.

I glanced at the stack of cards in my hand, just as confused as the rest of them, "Magic?"

Jackson groaned, making me laugh, and give him a kiss on the cheek to keep him from pouting like a toddler.

"All right, he may not be the world's best magician, but he's gonna be great in Pippin." Ramona defended

The thought of Pippin had completely been in the back burner of my mind for the past couple of weeks. I still attended practice and worked on lines with Jackson, but I was 100% freaked to sing in front of people. I thought avoiding any thoughts about it would make me feel better, but obviously that wouldn't help.

Jackson may not be the best magician, but he can seriously sing. How is the inexperienced female lead supposed to compete with someone with raw talent?

I'll be fine. Just don't vomit, and it's a success.

"Ah, I couldn't have done it without my understudy and Catherine, herself." Jackson spoke, bringing me back to reality as I smile in appreciation

"Ramona, you helped me learn my lines, my steps, my acting. You even taught me how to take a bow and accept a bouquet of flowers."

"Oh, great, now I have to bring flowers for two people." Rocki groaned, "I'd rather watch you do magic."
