tune

"Oh, sweet. What's it called?"

"Micheal in the Bathroom. It's one of my favorite songs." The song began playing in Cam's head.

Asura's eyes lit up. "OH my god, I've heard that one!" He exclaimed, then laughed. "It's my favorite. I didn't know what musical it was from, though."

He laughed a little. "You're so lucky that you get to sing it!"

He nodded. "I sure am," he agreed. "I better start practicing, though."

"I've been practicing, but it's hard to sing most of my lines without other people."

"What part do you have?" He asked, leaning back and examining his nails as if he was bored.

Charlie quickly stopped her soft singing and settled the snake in her lap as she leaned back, kinda relaxing finally since she arrived.

"Rich. This might sound bad, but I love playing bullies or villains." Cam stated, leaning back in his own chair.

"No, I totally understand. It's honestly my favorite thing, playing somebody who's evil," he said with a smile, eyes flicking up to glance at Cam.

"Yeah." He looked at the script again. "I'm not a rude person, so it's nice to change things up every once and a while."

"I j-just wanted to be a back, background ch-character." Charlie murmured to the snake. "Not the, the damned SQUIP"

"Oh. I can actually be pretty evil but, whatever." He then turned to Charlie. "And hey, don't worry about it. You'll be fine."

Ro grinned. "Nice role, I'm Christine. You'll make a good Micheal, Asura."

Charlie jumped a little, surprised Asura heard her and quickly hid her red face. "Y-yeah. Sure, sure. It-it's not li-like I ha-ave a stutt-tt-er or anything and mess up, up on stage"

"Well," Cameron began. "You could turn your stutter into a glitch-thing because the SQUIP is a technology..thing…"

"Thanks," he said to Ro, smiling.

"Micheal is so gay for Jeremy. And I'm better then you, i get two solo songs." RO gigled.

Charlie's frown turned into a tiny smile. She'd never thought of her stutter like that until now. "I-i guess so-oh. Thank yo-you." her hand went over her neck where her vocal chords would be.

Asura made a face. "No, I have the better solo and being gay for the main character makes me better."

Cam nodded. "No problem." He turned back to the script and continued his song again. "Freshman year, I didn't have a girlfriend or a clue. I was a loser just like you…"

"LIes. I love play rehersal and A guy that I'd kinda be into are BAE." Ro giggled and elbowed her cousin gently.

"Yeah, but like, so is Michael in the Bathroom," Asura said, laughing and elbowing her back. "And you know what? I bet I have it memorized better than you do."
