Congrats on getting the role!
You’re gonna be such a great Greta haha
OMG thank you! I’m so excited
slash shocked. I thought for sure Mr. Cooper wanted YOU to have the role
Like honestly you’re such a better singer than me
And I’m only a junior
I kinda thought I’d get it too lol
Oh my god I sound like such a bitch
Really thx so much, you’re gonna have so much fun in the chorus
Yeah, I know
And if I can’t have the part you deserve it obviously
Yay so excited
Plus Mr. Cooper told me I could be your understudy
God forbid you get sick or something
OMG yes! Such a perfect understudy
How are things with Adam btw?
Ugh, complicated as always
I don’t know why he’s so embarrassed to call me his gf
When he hears you sing in the show he won’t be embarrassed :)
Haha thanks

Hey, u want to meet up and run lines some time this weekend
Def!
I can’t Saturday cause Adam and I are hanging out
OooooOOOoooh
Haha grow up
Let’s do it Friday after school
Sounds good
I saw Adam in study hall today actually. He was telling me and Sarah about the gym
Ugh he’s so weird sometimes
He started working out like a week ago and already is pretending like he’s such a gym rat
Haha no it was fine. Sarah was being so annoying though, like touching him up and down the arm
Sarah is so annoying
five days later
Hey, everything alright?
You left rehearsal so fast this afternoon
Yeah, it’s fine
I just got kind of overwhelmed cause Mr. Cooper kept making us do the dance break over and over again
and my feet were kind of hurting
:( poor babe
It’s all good, I just bought a new pair of character shoes online
Are you going to Kessler’s party this weekend?
Kessler is having a party?
No, I wasn’t invited
Oh, really?
Adam told Sarah he was going
Adam is going?
He didn’t tell me that
Haha ok yeah I’ll probably go
yeah I wasn’t invited either I was just wondering cause Sarah and Adam are both going
Ugh why does Sarah do this to me?
I feel like she’s jealous tbh
I think she is...
Yes! I always get that vibe from her
Don’t worry, Adam is such a good guy
I love that watch you gave him for his birthday
Yeah it’s nice, right?
It was my Dad’s. It meant a lot to Adam when I gave it to him
Aww so sweet
two days later
Hey, are you at the mall right now?
No haha why?
Oh I’m here with my mom lol
I thought I just saw you and Adam
Haha no, I’m in my PJs at home. Adam is at his Grandma’s this weekend
Are you sure?
I definitely thought I just saw him
OMG it’s definitely him
WTF? Who is he with?
Take a wild guess...
Mel you better not be fucking with me cause I’m going to be so pissed if Adam is at the mall with Sarah.
MEL??
the next day
I talked to Sarah and she swears she wasn’t at the mall yesterday
She’s such a liar
Oh wow.
I’m just telling you what I saw
What about Adam?
I don’t feel like talking to him
I’ll deal with him in person on Monday
I’m so sorry sweetie
Ugh this could not be happening at a worse time
I’m so stressed about the musical
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine
the next day
I just talked to Adam and all he did was deny deny
Same BS he always does
Really?
And then I asked why he wasn’t wearing the watch I gave him and he was like
“Oh, I must have left it at the gym.” Like ok that really helps your case
Maybe he’s telling the truth?
you think?
Idk, you’re my witness
But it goes without saying that Sarah is in love with my boyfriend
It’s so obvious, isn’t it?
It is to me
Just try focusing on the show right now, it’s getting so close
I know, i’m trying
thanks for being such a good friend Mel
one week later
You will not believe what I saw from across the courtyard today.
I’m losing it.
What?
Sarah was wearing Adam’s watch!
**MY** watch!
That little slut is parading around with the watch my father left for me
pretending like she’s not trying to steal my boyfriend
Oh my god what did she say?
I didn’t talk to her. I’m never talking to her again.
Or Adam for that matter.
Can you please come to my house, I’m crying :(
Aww sweetie I wish I could but I’m in the City with my parents right now
Why is this happening to me?
two days later
Sarah was just texting me about Adam
But I told her to stop cause you and I are friends
OMG what was she saying?
Idk, dumb stuff, like how she likes to sneak around
I can’t believe she said that!
I hate those two. They deserve each other
Thanks for standing up for me
three days later
The show is going to be a disaster
The dress rehearsal tonight was a joke. How can I go on 2 days from now?
You’re just on ends because of the Adam situation
It’s all I can think about!
I sounded like shit. Mr. Cooper even told me.
You didn’t sound that bad. But I’ll admit your dancing was a little off.
Wow, thanks Mel.
Sorry.
I don’t even want to be in the show anymore
Everything felt so right a few weeks ago, but I don’t even know now
Don’t kill me, but I think Sarah and Adam are coming to the show Friday night
Together?
That’s what they told me in study hall
Are you serious??
I wish I could die
NO! Don’t say that!
I’m being dramatic
But for real, I think I’m gonna quit the production
Now?
The show is in two days!
I’ve been thinking about it for a while. The dancing is too much for me, and honestly...
I don’t even know why Mr. Cooper gave me the part in the first place. You’re obviously a much better choice.
And with all his nonsense with Sarah...Adam
(who still hasn’t had the decency to tell me the truth or give me my watch back btw)
is honestly, just too much to deal with.
I owe it to the rest of the cast to not make a fool of myself and ruin the show
Wow. If that’s how you really feel, you should do what’s best for your mental health
You’re gonna be great as the lead, Mel. Seriously. I’m happy for you.
OMG I’m gonna play Greta after all!
Thanks for being such a good friend to me, Mel. You’re the best.
two days later
You were so great in the show tonight!
Aww thanks babe, we all missed you but it was still so much fun
two days later
Hey, I just had a really long talk with Adam
And I’m kind of bugging out right now
What?
I kept pressing him about the watch, and he swears that the last time he saw it...
he had taken it off in study hall because YOU said you wanted to see it
Oh haha yeah it’s so pretty I just wanted to look at it
Really? Cause it sort of sounds like you never gave it back to him
What are you talking about?
You saw Sarah wearing it, didn’t you?
I thought I did
But it was from all the way across the courtyard. I could have been wrong.
Okay, so you can get back with Adam now, problem solved.
Mel what the fuck is going on?
You lied to me
No I didn’t
Yes you did. Adam never went to the mall with Sarah.
He actually was with his grandma that weekend. He has the picture to prove it
Also Sarah has been dating Kessler for like three weeks
Why would you make all of this up?
You really haven’t figured this out yet?
??
Hmmm, I don’t know. Maybe because you stole the lead role from me, my SENIOR YEAR
OMG! YOU’RE A PSYCHO!
This was all just your little scheme?
What the actual fuck??
It wasn’t even that hard. You’re so easy to play.
How did I ever trust you?!
That’s show biz sweetie ;)
