Evalina woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing with texts. She sighed and decided to see who it was.

Unknown number:
Hey, Eve! This is Josh, we're
heading out for breakfast
and wanted to know if you
wanted to join.

How did you get my number?

Jeff gave it to me and is
that a yes

Sure

Great! Meet us outside the
theater at 6

Okay, I'll be there

Evalina got out of bed and picked out her clothes. She took a quick shower. She changed into jeans, a cute top, a hoodie, and her galaxy converse. She looked at her arms and ran her hands over the scars.

Evalina's P.O.V.

I ran my hands over my arms recounting each one and how they came to be. I sighed and wrapped the bandages around them. That's all in the past. I let my wavy hair flow loose and put on my black glasses. It's time to go. I quicker grabbed my phone and camera just in case.

~~~~~~~~

I checked the time 5:55, not on time and not too early. I walked towards the door of the theater and saw a few of the boys there already. I saw, or I remember correctly Zach, who plays Crutchie, Chaz, who plays Buttons, Dan who plays Jack, and DeMarius. I saved and walked over to them.

"Morning guys." "Hey, Eve." DeMarius said. Followed two "good mornings from Zach and Dan. Chaz smiled and waved. They all waited in silence checking their phones all preoccupied. I looked outside and the view was beautiful.

I cautiously slipped away and stood there for a moment then started taking pictures.

3rd Person P.O.V.

Ben and Josh alone with Sky, Stephanie, Jeff, and Andy came down the stairs and all they greeted each other. That's when Chaz noticed someone was missing. "Where'd Evalina go?" At first confused they all looked around. No one had seen where she flipped off too.

"I see her, she's outside." Zach said. They all went outside. Josh crept up behind her and was about to scare her when she turned around and grabbed his wrist and turned it be hung his back.

Everyone was surprised at her outburst. One she realized who it was she apologized immediately. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you." Josh laughed, a small part of him was laughing out of nervousness.

"It's fine. Just remind me to never scare you again." Everyone laughed. "So, Eve, where did you learn to do... that?" DeMarius asked. "Well um... when I was younger I wanted to take piano lessons and my parents didn't approve, they wanted me to be the poster child of greatness so their company would look better so we made a compromise. I'd learn martial arts if they'd let me learn piano."

Ben and Josh smiled slightly. She was finally breaking out of her shell, slowly but surely. "So where are we headed?" Steph asked. "Somewhere with bacon!" Josh exclaimed. Every one laughed. As they were doing so Evalina caught a picture of them. It was the perfect candid shot. She smiled and they walked to a nearby I hop.

They sat at a big table. Evalina sat in between Josh and Ben. As the waiter came around and got their orders he stopped in his tracks when Josh said his order. "Can I get a plate of bacon?" The wait or looked mortified but nodded then went to Evalina.

"Please tell me your order is normal." He said in a begging tone. "It is. I'll take French toast and some bacon." The waiter sighed and finished taking their orders.

Soon he came back with everyone's food. "I can't believe you asked for a plate of bacon." Dan said laughing. "You laugh now but bacon will never abandon you, people will but bacon will always be there." This statement caused everyone to laugh.

All of them are their food and they decided they wanted to go do something. "Lets go to Central park!" Sky yelled. Evalina sighed. "Guys I have to ge-" she was cut off by her phone ringing. Everyone looked at her confused.

"Hello."pause "Ana, what do you mean the merch will be in late, people preordered those and will want them soon." Another pause. "Well tell them to fix it and ship them out as soon as they can, I don't care that it's down we have to get this done." Another pause. "Fix the prices for the shirts and put them on discount. Make sure to get the Playbill canvas, shirt, and poster on there." Pause. "Yeah yeah. I'll tell them that it should be late and I'll send them a bunch of special edition signed cards I'll mail them to you then you can distribute." Pause. "About how many do I need to sign?" Evalina tapped her face impatiently. "5,000!" She sighed. "Fine, I'll get them in tonight. You're lucky I let you manage my store." Another pause. "I'm sorry it's just really stressful,  just...don't let it happen again and tell little Rachel I say hi." Another long pause. "Yeah yeah, love you too you twat."

"Look guys, I can't go I'm in a rush and I have extra work because the manufacturers are having issues. I gotta go." Evalina said. "Are you sure you have to?" Josh asked. "Yes I have to. Have fun and I'll see you guys at rehearsals." Evalina said as she ran out followed by a chorus of goodbyes.
