"Carlos told me you'd be out here." Flynn walks in the garage. "We need to to talk." she looks at Julie. "Are you okay?" Violet asks. "No, I'm not OK! Julie just got kicked out of music! I've been up all night trying to figure out what I was gonna say. Might've drank seven sodas, but... I need to get this out." Flynn explains.

"Wait, I have something to tell you--" "No, It's my turn to talk," Flynn interrupts Julie, "you can't give up music. Your music's like a gift, that would be a tragedy. So, you're basically, like, canceling Christmas, and I love Christmas!" 

"Flynn, she--" "uh-uhh!" Flynn cuts Violet off, "When we were six, we promised to be in a band together. Triple Threat." "We never agreed to that name." Julie points at Violet.  Flynn walks behind the piano, "that's not the point Juls, if you leave the music program, all three of us will be apart forever. That's just what happens. Sure, we'll see each other in the hall sometime, but... We'll have different lives, make new friends." 

"That's not true." Violet says. "You're right. I won't be making any new friends. The only time we'll be communicating is when we'll be liking each other's posts on Instagram.  Every time I'll be hitting that little heart, my heart will be breaking because my best friend left me, and... do you have any soda, my head hurts." Flynn puts her hand to her head.

"Can Julie talk now?" Violet asks. "fine." 

"I just played the piano and sang again." Julie explained. "What? Why didn't you guys just say so?" Flynn exclaims. "We were trying and then your seven sodas kicked in." Violet explained. "I'm so happy for you!" Flynn says happily. "and me. Look at you, looking all, I don't know, alive again." We all laughed. "Right? It's like I drank seven sodas." Julie smiles.

"What made you play again?" Flynn asks. "we found this song my mom wrote me." Julie passed the song to Flynn. 

"I was so afraid to play it, anything involving music reminds me of her. And then I woke up this morning.... realizing that's why I should play. To keep her memory live." Julie sighs.

"group hug!" Violet shouts. They all hug but Flynn pulls away quick with a gasp, "We need to tell Mrs. Harrison you can play so you can stay in school and my life won't be that sad picture I just painted for you." 

Flynn looks at Julie, then Violet, "Our girls back! Triple Threat lives again!"

"Not our band name." Violet says. "I gave you both a T-Shirt in the 7th grade that says otherwise."

They all walk out, Julie shuts the door, letting out a "hey!" in front of it. Flynn looks back with confusion, "let's hustle." Julie fixes. 

Violet lets out a smile in the direction Julie was talking to and a small wave as well did Julie, who let out a rather large wave but acted as if she was swatting a bug.

"Believe me Julie, I think it's wonderful that you sang again. I prayed for this moment for almost a year. but it's too late." Mrs. Harrison walks around the piano. "Why can't you just listen to her play? You know she's amazing." Flynn tries to reason with her. "it wouldn't matter. A new student starts tomorrow." Harrison replied. "but there's only--" 

"so many spots. If I don't participate, I'm out. I know." Julie continues. "I did everything I could to keep you here this year." Harrison walks forward, "But Principal Lessa was very clear that yesterday was your last chance. You'll have to reapply next semester." The bell rings, Violet puts her arm around Julie, all three walk out together.

Julie and Violet walk into Julies, "I can't believe--"

"What are you guys doing in my room?" Julie asks. Luke is standing on a chair, Reggie is laying on her bed, while Alex is trying to pick up a picture. "We were looking for the Kitchen?" Luke asks. "This... This can't happen. It's creepy." Julie states. "What? Are the boys here?" Violet asks. "Yeah." Julie answers. "Okay, since I can't hear or talk to them, I'm gonna let you handle this. I'm gonna go home, I'll talk to you later. Bye Boys!" Violet walks out.

Violet walks into her room, dropping her bag down on a chair. She reads the one text she got on the way home. "I am done." she flops on her bed. She gets up after about half an hour, she sat down at a table with a journal and plays piano.

Violet:

I've been keeping things inside
Taking up space til I got someone
I could open my mind up to
I guess it worked pretty good til now
But shit's kinda getting serious
I think I'm running out of room
Everyone's got someone built custom
To give their darkness to
I wish I had someone, could trust 'em
But loyalty don't come for free

Cause all my friends are fake, fake, fake, fake
They just want me for the day, day until they don't
I stay up wondering
What if I broke my legs?
What if I changed my name?
Would you still love me the same?
Or are you just as fake?
Like all my friends are fake

Sorry if I got you wrong
Didn't mean to judge you by a cover
I've been burnt so many times
It's hard to turn it off
Everyone's got people they see through
But I see through everyone
So if you want me to believe you and need you
Might take some time to recognize

Cause all my friends are fake, fake, fake, fake
They just want me for the day, day until they don't
I stay up wondering
What if I broke my legs?
What if I changed my name?
Would you still love me the same?
Or are you just as fake?
Like all my friends are fake

Sorry if I got you wrong
Didn't mean to judge you by a cover
I've been burnt so many times
It's hard to turn it off

All my friends are fake, fake, fake, fake
They just want me for the day, day until they don't
I stay up wondering
What if I broke my legs?
What if I changed my name?
Would you still love me the same?
Or are you just as fake?
Like all my friends are fake

Like all my friends are fake

Luke stands next to Julie in the kitchen after finally getting Julie to sing Bright at the rally later. He just had a feeling he needed to be near Violet. "Hey, Julie?" he asks. She hums. "Can you tell me where Violet lives?" 

"Sure, but why?" Julie asks. "I just have a feeling." he replies.

All my friends are fake, fake, fake, fake
They just want me for the day, day until they don't

What if I broke my legs?
What if I changed my name?

Or are you just as fake?
Like all my friends are fake

Like all my friends are fake

Violet throws her phone across the room and falls to the ground in sobs. Luke appears in the corner watching, he looks at the one text and his heart drops, 

Carrieee:
u r finally out
found someone better
assemblys ur last

After who knows how long, Violet cries herself to sleep with Luke still watching. He tries to pick her up, but ends with his luck shot. He sighs, staying in the corner of her room. After a while, her door opens with her dad walking in. Her dad sighs before picking her up and placing her in her bed, covering her up. Also, putting her phone on charge, but not before checking the message. He sighs once again, kissing her forehead before leaving with the lights off. 

Luke looks around her creamy-white colored walls. He smirks when he sees a poster and shirt pinned on the wall. Along, with the CD on her bedside table. 

Little did Luke know what lurked on Violets phone notes: 

'There is just something about Luke, there is something about him. That I have no idea. I just- I just wish I could see him. I wish I could see them.' 

Luke thinks, still in her room, 'I just- I just wish she could see me. I wish she could see us.'

Luke poofs out, but not before leaving lyrics and a note, which was really hard to write.

' Told Julie, practice and know this song before the rally tomorrow. You can do it, I know you can. Show you are more than just Dirty Candy or whatever that group is. - L '
