"Maia, there's something I need to tell you. Something I did when we were on a break" Fangs says and I lift my head and meet his eyes and nod for him to go on.

"I was with someone..." Fangs says looking down in regret. My throat tightens and my breath gets stuck.

"How were you with someone?" I ask. Did he sleep with someone? Kiss someone? Or just spend time.

"I hooked up with a girl from the Northside" Fangs says and looks up carefully.

Hurt and pain shoots through my chest, but then I remember what I did when we were on a break. I purse my lips and sigh before taking Fangs' face in my hands.

"It's okay, let's just forget about it" I say and stroke his cheek. He looks at me in sorrow and nods slowly. "Unless you have feelings for her and that's why you're telling me this...." I say and trail off with an eyebrow raised.

Fangs move his head out of my hands and looks at me with wide eyes. "What? No! I'm telling you this because I don't want to lie to you, I did something and I don't want to keep it from you" Fangs says hurriedly.

"Is it someone I know?" I ask before regretting it again. Do I want to know who it is?

Fangs looks down before nodding. "Who is it?" I ask. I want to know, I need to know.

"Midge Klump" Fangs says and I kind of feel relieved that it wasn't someone I was closer to.

"Okay, does she know it was a one time thing?" I ask. "Yeah, She knows" Fangs assures me.

I nod nod take a deep breath. "Alright, since you're coming clean about this too, I want you to know that I did something too, you saw me coming from Greendale that morning" I say and Fangs nods for me to continue.

"I went to see some old friends, I got drunk and partied, then I might've taken some drugs, I didn't sleep it off, so, when my mom came to get me, she saw the affects the drugs had on me, basically it was just a matter of time before I passed out from it" I tell him and Fangs freezes a bit.

"Was it—was it Ji—""—Jingle-Jangle? No, we have stronger and better drugs in Greendale" I say. Fangs frowns but stays silent.

"Are you okay?" I ask and put my hand on his, He clench his hand around mine and lace our fingers before looking up at me.

"I'm relieved you didn't sleep with someone, I wouldn't have taken it as easy as you did, I would have gone to Greendale and kick all of their asses" Fangs blurts out and I chuckle.

"Actually, my old friend Gabriel kept me in control, remember him?? He made sure nothing happened" I say and smile a bit. "Gabriel?" Fangs asks warily.

"Nuh-uh, you don't get to do that, the Serpents beat him up! And for nothing, really" I say and raise an eyebrow. "Oh come on" Fangs grumbles and I smirk before kissing him.

"We need to get to that musical" I say against his lips. "Hmm, after" Fangs says and shift us, so he's on top of me and he deepens the kiss.

•••

"Welcome to Carrie: The musical" Kevin says and Fangs decides to show up too late and scrapes the chair over the scene floor.

I bite my lip to not burst out laughing at my boyfriend as he smiles around at everybody and doesn't realise his timing is....shitty.

"Hey, Fangs" Kevin says and Fangs winks at me and I snort and control my laughter before I fall to the ground and roll around. I sit between Ethel and Toni, that made Toni laugh too and Ethel to roll her eyes.

I'm getting a 'I—don't—like—you' kinda vibe from her, so I don't talk much with Ethel.

"Okay, next, introductions" Kevin says and tears his eyes away from Fangs, should I be worried? Kevin always looks at Fangs like that..

"I'm, uh, Archie. I'm playing Tommy Ross, the boy next door" Archie says introducing himself and his role. I'm just a dancer though....

"I'm Betty. I play Sue Snell, the good girl" Betty says and I smile at her.

"Veronica Lodge, playing mean girl Chris Hargensen" Veronica says and I scoff before looking at Fangs who looks awfully interested in the whole thing, I cast a glance at Midge and her eyes meet mine, she gulps nervously and I look back at Fangs.....

Then Cheryl stands up. Prepare yourself for the ultimate introduction. "I'm Cheryl Blossom, playing the iconic role of Carrie White" Yup, there you got it. "Tone deaf" Ethel fake coughs.

"Who's playing your mom, Margaret White?" Ethel asks. "I am" A familiar voice says and I look towards the door and see Alice coming in.

"Mom" Betty says questioningly. "Wait, Seriously?" Ethel asks. "Settle down. Yes, it's untraditional. But to me nothing's more amateur than age—inappropriate casting" Kevin says and meanwhile Alice had handed Ethel her purse and said "hold this".

"I'm looking forward to getting to know this woman, get under her skin. And of course, spend some time with my daughter Elizabeth" Alice says, Betty just got first named. Ohhhh.

"Uh, Sorry. I thought rehearsal was in the music room" Chuck Clayton says and steps onto the stage. Oh yeah, the sex offender or what they call him...

"No problem. All are welcome here" Kevin says. And everyone looks around as Chuck sits down and I raise an eyebrow.

"What's the problem?" Toni whispers to me. "I don't know" I whisper back and eye the look Betty, Cheryl and Veronica has.

After a quick break I shift seats with Toni. "That was some of an entrance" I comment Fangs smiles sheepishly before kissing me. "Not my fault someone told me to get to school on my own, because someone had cheer practice" Fangs says after we pull away and I peck his lips as response.

"Aww, What would you do without me?" I tease and he rolls his eyes before putting his finger under my chin and make our lips meet again.

I feel eyes on the two of us, which caused me to pull away. Midge, she's staring at us, as she realise I caught her she looks away and Moose squeezes her hand and she smiles up at him.

I pull away from Fangs sigh. I have to say something to her, don't I?

I don't get that far as the mini break is over and I return to my seat with a confused look from Fangs, he noticed I pulled away and looked away. Well, what should I even say to her?

"Okay, Act One, Scene One" Kevin says and we find the page to scene one. "Actually...before we begin, I've heard whisperings that some of you ensemble-vultures don't think I'm fit to play, or sing—""—No" Josie says and shakes her head. "—the role of Carrie White" Cheryl finishes and I sigh and prepare myself for a dramatic scene once again.

"So, to settle this once and for all, Maestro?" Cheryl says. "Okay, Uh, Cheryl—""That's not my name" Cheryl sings and interrupts Kevin, the sound of her voice shocks me a bit.

"Uh, Cheryl" Kevin tries but Cheryl continues and I notice the impresses look Fangs gives her as she sings and I smile at him. Why is he so adorable? Everything he does, SO CUTE.

As Cheryl finishes Toni stands up and starts clapping and so does the rest of us. "Wow. I think I speak for everyone when I say that was undeniable, Cheryl" Kevin says and Cheryl starts walking to her seat when a bag falls in front of Cheryl and she screams in shock.

I notice Ethel is not looking so shocked, like at all, maybe she's going dark Ethel on Cheryl. Who knows? Maybe I'll go dark Maia on Midge? I narrow my eyes as Midge looks shocked and starts looking at Fangs.

Eyes and hands off, Hun. You ain't getting nothing from him. He's mine.

•••

Practicing the scenes, Betty and Archie starts and I sit next to Fangs and lean my head on his shoulder. My dancing scene is not yet.

Soooooo, meanwhile I'm sitting with Kev and Fangs, I'm keeping an eye on Midge. As she stands up, I hurry after her without a word to Fangs. "Midge" I call out and she stops in her tracks and slowly turns to me.

"We need to talk" I say and clench my jaw. She nods with a sigh and we find somewhere quiet. "I know, Midge. I know what happened between you and my boyfriend, so, as he told me he made it clear it was a one time thing. I didn't worry, but then I see you casting glances at him and try to catch his glance, I feel like I should say something" I say and pause.

"I'm not gonna start something, I just want you to know, that Fangs and I—figured out our issues, there will be no more of what happened between the two of you, so no matter how many looks you cast at him, he's still going to be mine, and I would hate to see you and Moose break up, because honestly, you two are great, and you've been through a lot together" I tell her honestly without any rage.

"I know, and trust me, I'm not trying to do anything. It's just, I don't know if I should tell Moose, I mean, he deserves to know, but I don't know if I should tell him. I thought maybe either you or Fangs could help me, I don't know what to do" Midge says and honestly, what she says shocks me. A lot!

•••

At the evening it's Josie and Cheryl's turn to perform, which had me tripping, because! DAMN! Those two? They're not exactly friends right now....

"In this scene, teacher Mrs. Gardener is being a friend when our girl has none, out of kindness" Kevin tells the two on stage.

"I'll fake it as best as I can" Josie comments. Josie starts singing and I noticed the hurt look on Cheryl when Josie said that.

"Stop, Stop. Stop!" Cheryl blurts out and the whole thing stops. "Cheryl, I'm the only one that's allowed to stop" Kevin butts in and I shake my head at him.

"I can't do this, have you hating me while we're singing about friendship. I know everything I did was legit crazy, Josie, but I was wrestling with some dark, Carrie White-like demons. And I'm so, so sorry. So, please, please forgive me" Cheryl begs and as Josie takes it in. Cheryl starts singing and Josie joins her.

The two starts smiling when they sing and everyone starts smiling too. As the two finishes Josie and Cheryl pulls each other into a hug.

And everyone starts clapping. I glance down at my phone and see my mom called me. I gulp in fear of what she might've been calling to say and I leave Betty.

"Hello?" I say as she picks up.

"Honey, you didn't tell me you didn't come home for dinner" She says and I breathe out in relief.

"Right, I'm sorry, mom, it's just the musical is taking a little long to go through because the roles kinda have some issues in real life" I explain and chuckle a bit.

"Oh well, that's teenage life, right? Well, text me when you two are in your way home" She says and I nod even though she can't see me.

"I will, bye" I say and she gives me a bye before I hang up. I sigh in relief and run a hand over my face and I feel a pair of arms sneak around my waist and I lean back into Fangs' chest.

"Everything okay?" Fangs asks. "I'm just a little jumpy....since the whole thing with my dad" I say and pause. "A little? You can't lay still at night" Fangs comments and I smile a bit.

I turn around in his arms and Fangs sees the tired look on my face, I'm exhausted from being afraid of when my dad is coming and ruin our lives, he will kill Fangs.

I don't see a reason why my father wouldn't do it, he's done it before, and he hasn't changed at all. I know, that's why I'm considering what to do, with my mom and with Fangs.

•••

In Veronica's scene Toni and I are dancing in it. Which made me happy, because I've danced with Toni before and she's good at following and remembering. She's my type.

It's a very dramatic scene and especially with Veronica, and the looks Betty casts at Veronica.

Fangs stands up and claps eagerly and I share a look with Toni. "Are you okay?" She asks and puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I just—I've got a lot on my mind" I say and smile. A lot.

"Okay, Veronica, I'm obsessed with everything that just happened" Kevin compliments and walk towards Betty as she looks awfully uncomfortable. "Thank you. It helps to be off—book and in full costume" Veronica says and Betty chuckles and I mentally curse.

"Don't be so modest. You are the literal embodiment of Chris. Never has a role been so perfectly typecast—""—Betty" Archie says, but Veronica gives him the "shush" sign.

"What was that, Betty?" Veronica says and walks closer and I try to discretely move a bit away from Betty when her and Veronica explodes on each other.

"I mean, think about it, spoiled rich girl, check. Major daddy issues, check. Bad to the bone, trying to control everyone, including her boyfriend and best friends, check, check, check" Betty says and Veronica casts a look at me and I cross my arms. Don't drag me in.

Fangs looks back and forth and Veronica and Betty leaves the stage and I look down on the floor and sigh. I can't do this anymore.

I step down from stage and walk out of the theatre. I go the ladies room and splash water in my face and look at myself. I look like shit.

"Everything okay there, Maia?" Cheryl's voice rings through and I look behind me and dry my face. "I'm good" I say and flash her a smile.

"Are you sure? Should I go get Fangs? Or Toni—""—No, it's okay. I'm fine" I interrupt a bit harsh. "I'm sorry, but I'm fine" I say.

"Okay, want me to walk you back to the musical and your boyfriend?" Cheryl asks and winks a bit to lighten the heavy mood.

"Oh yeah? You sure it's not to see Toni, huh?" I ask teasingly and Cheryl rolls her eyes before putting her arm around my shoulder and then we got back to the others.
