"I watched your morning show with Gina. It was pretty good," Nadia complimented in the dressing room where everyone else was since Ms. Jenn had called a special meeting in the middle of the day for everyone to come.
"Thanks, it's actually really fun," he said.
"It looks like it. Oh! And congrats on being elected president of the AV club. I told you Mr. Mazzara likes you," she said, laughing as she lightly shoved him playfully.
He joined in with her laughter. "Thanks."
"Everyone, attention please!" Ms. Jenn called out as she clapped. "I'm sure you're wondering why I called this special midday drama club meeting."
"Oh, are you announcing the fall musical? I vote Dear Evan Hansen," Seb spoke up with a large smile on his face.
"No, Seb. It's March," she replied. "And the rights won't be available for five years, I tried." Seb's smile immediately dropped and Carlos placed a hand on his arm comfortingly. "I am announcing that we are in such a good place after our improv workshop. We're getting one step closer to Menkies gold," she told them, wiggling her fingers. "And today, our wonderful actor/designer, Kourtney Greene, is going to show you your completed costumes!"
Everyone began to clap and cheer before Nini ripped the tarp off the rack to show all the costumes on hangers, making them whoop even more. "Those already look amazing!" Nadia said, placing a hand over her mouth.
"Oh, my God!" Gina exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"Speech! Speech!" Nini chanted, smiling at her best friend.
"Okay, um, guess I'm making a speech," Kourtney started, chuckling. "I'm super excited for you all to see your costumes because—" her phone then made an elephant/trumpet noise.
"What the heck was that?" Marcus said out loud, making them all laugh.
"Oh, uh, sorry, that's Howie," she said cutely, reading the message and starting to laugh down at her phone. She then looked up to see everyone staring at her and she cleared her throat. "Anyway, with your costumes this semester, I really tried to—" her phone then made the sound again and reached in her pocket to read the message again.
"Someone's in love," Nadia whispered to EJ in a teasing tone.
"What? No. No, I don't think that's the case right now. Definitely not," EJ rambled quietly and Nadia gave him a weird look. "Oh, you're talking about Kourtney. Oh, yeah, she definitely is. Yeah," he quickly said, nodding. Nadia slowly nodded, confused by his behavior, before she looked over at Carlos, who had started speaking.
"Can you not keep your phone on silent in rehearsal, like, everyone else?" Carlos asked Kourtney sarcastically.
"'Sorry, everyone' is what Carlos would say if he were more like me," Seb said, a smile plastered on his face once again.
