(Okay 😆😆😆)

Lillian looked up at Belle, she was one of the backstage crew, "Yeah?"

Lloyd looked up at Belle and waved quietly, pressing his wings closer to his back.

"Uh, Doc wants to see you again. Something about redoing a monologue? Something like that, I don't remember." She smiled shyly. Despite being the stage manager, she was terrible at talking to the cast.

Lillian stood up and smiled back at her, "Okay. Do I have to head back onstage or is he somewhere else at the moment?"

(Oops, I should probably mention, I based Doc on my actual theater teacher (who we call Doc), soooo Doc's actually a girl)
"Onstage, if you don't mind." She tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear that had fallen out of her braid, pinning it under one of the straps of her eye patch.

"Er, good luck Lillian." Lloyd gave her a thumbs up and resumed his staring at the ground.

Lillian gave Lloyd a thumbs up back before going back onstage, "Okay. What exactly do I need to do?"

Doc smiled at her before turning back to her papers. "Could you redo your monologue for me? I just want to see it again."
Belle glanced at Lloyd out of the corner of her eye. "I'm proud you tried something new." She muttered quietly. She was more comfortable around the other crew members but she needed to relax a bit before she'd get back into herself.

Lillian nodded and turned to face the rest of the drama club before starting her monologue once more. She put just as much purpose and soul as she did the first time she had run through it.

Rachel had almost forgotten about the auditions going on today as she slinked into the back of the auditorium to see Lillian on stage running through hers. She would have to top that and it would be easy.

(😊)

(Goddammit not this bitch again 😂😂)
To say Doc was impressed was an understatement and so was the rest of the drama club. Belle just smiled softly at Lillian, that was about the quality she expected from someone like her.

(Rachel: You thought you got rid of me. But I will never die!)

Lillian wrapped up the monologue and hopped off the stage back to Belle and Lloyd, "Did I do any better than the first time?"

Rachel spotted Lillian walk down and make her way to a group of other drama kids. She began calmly making her way to the group.
(Also she's got an upgrade. Anything she says will be perceived as truth unless the person knows otherwise. If they are the slight bit uncertain than her ability will work on them. :)

(Well then! She's gonna have a real fun time with Belle, ain't she?)
"I think you did better the second time. Or maybe that's just me. I don't know, I'm the stage manager, not the lead role." She chuckled.

(She is.)

"I'm not the lead role yet," Lillian laughed before spotting Rachel coming towards the group. She froze up slightly and let out a sigh.

Rachel grinned and leaned up against one of the chairs. She had no intention of paying any attention to anyone, but Lillian. There wasn't any point, she needed to get Lillian out of there so she could work her magic, "Hey Lillian. Can't wait to get the lead this year. I'm basically garunteed to get it."

(Italics means she's using her power)

Belle frowned slightly, she didn't trust this new girl. She wasn't completely sure why, she just didn't. Oh, she's trouble. Yeah no shit sis.

"Hey Rachel," Lillian responded with a faked smile, but no one would've been able to tell, "I think your up to audition next."

"Probably," Rachel nodded and looked to the other two finally, "You're Lloyd and Belle right? It's nice to meet you, but what are you doing hanging out with a loser like Lillian. She can hardly act."

The words stung Lillian, but she shrugged them off. She knew she was a great actress, and Rachel was just using her damned powers to turn them against her. Like she normally did the moment she began talking to people.

"Now that's not true." She knew she shouldn't get involved, it'd only make it worse, but she knew for sure and for seashore that Lillian was an amazing person and actress.

Rachel almost frowned, but instead shrugged it off. She would have to figure out a way to plant a seed of doubt in Bella's mind, because she seemed way to convicted, "Really? Guess who haven't met the real Lillian yet. She's a real bitch."

Lillian stayed silent. She knew she couldn't fight Rachel's verbal barrage. The others had to do that themselves. She sat down in a seat wordlessly. Rachel saw her and triumph glinted in her eyes. She continued on with her statement, "I should know. I've been friends with her for years. She completely gaslighted me until I broke free to see how horrible of a person she was. You don't want to get involved with her, trust me."

Now, Belle was a very observant person and even though she'd never spoken to Lillian herself, she knew that whatever this girl was saying wasn't true. She crossed her arms, her frown deepening. "I'm not sure that Lillian is the horrible one here."

"What makes you say that?" Rachel askes innocently, "I only speak the truth here. I'm just trying to steer you away from a bad situation."

Lillian let out a long sigh and pulled out an mp3 and earbuds. She was just going to ignore Rachel until she got called up or auditions were done. They could fight Rachel all they wanted, but that girl was fucked up in the head.

"Well, either way, I've got work to do so if you don't mind, I should be getting backstage." As if on cue, a loud crash came from the wing. "Wasn't me!" A girl's voice yelled. Belle facepalmed, shaking her head. "Goddammit Megan." She muttered before running backstage to see what was broken now.

“Who’s that?” Lloyd asked after Rachel left. “And how does she know who I am?”

Lillian sighed as Rachel went up to audition, "Rachel Jade. She's the most popular girl in school, and she has been in production in the past."

“Oh… she doesn’t seem very nice.” Lloyd watched Rachel audition. (How old is belle? I know Lloyd’s fifteen and Lillian is 17)
