alora walked into ricky's house as they had planned to go to ashlyn's place together, " are you ready to go? " she asked, " sorry can i meet you there? " ricky turned to her, " uhm, is everything okay? " alora tilted her head, " yeah. yup. . .actually no "

alora made a face that read, continue " i guess my mom has a new boyfriend. and it's just a lot " he shrugged, " sorry hate to be a downer " ricky sighed

" i get it " alora nodded, " not to be rude, but i don't think you do " ricky said, " yes, im not as close with my dad as you are with my mom. but about a year ago he reached out to me asking to meet up he blew it because of his new family, so we rescheduled he blew it and never reached out again "

" yeah, no of course, im sorry " ricky apologized for not realizing she could be going through stuff as well, " don't be, you just gotta ignore it and push through " alora smiled at the boy, " think i should like text her happy thanksgiving or something? " ricky asked

" no, what i think we should do is go to the party and spend a few hours being drama dorks " alora put her hand on his shoulder which he nodded but she saw his serious face, " do what makes you happy "

he sighed, " okay. let's go "

alora was about to walk in, when she had to tie her shoelaces delaying it, when she walked in she heard nini asking, we. " hi nini " alora waved, " hey! " nini nodded, alora sensed the awkwardness as she walked away towards gina, layla was spending time with her family sos he was like alone

" hi! " gina saw her, " hey " alora smiled, " oo, i got you a gift since it's so cold, well i made you a gift " gina explained, while alora furrowed her eyebrows, gina showed the blonde an orange hat the blonde tried it on, as gina started bursting out laughing
" way to big! "

" ill grow into it! " alora left it on, " so what are we doing. . .? " alora asked, " uh, going to play carlos high school musical game " gina said, " oooooh! "

" okay, okay you guys " carlos spoke up, " there a four basic categories, the getcha head in the frame trivia challenge, the bop till you drop dance challenge, sync to the status quo lip sync, and looking for glee. which i thought would be a fun name for the singing challenge because when i was a kid i was obsessed with the show " carlos explained

" hey, it still holds up! " ricky pointed out, " oh, good thought you guys were gonna judge me " carlos laughed, " okay so knights, you won the coin toss " carlos informed, alora was a part of the knights with gina, big red, ashlyn and ricky and a few others ,

" so what do you guys pick? " carlos asked, the group huddled up as they decided, looking for glee. " excellent. as fast as you can please sing the lyrics to what i've been looking for but the rhythm of getcha head in the game "

" okay, the challenge is to stare at your partner and do the sharpay and ryan warm-up thing for sixty seconds straight, without laughing " carlos said, " okay, go "

" brrr! " " ma "the two kept saying making the rest all burst in laughter.

they did a few more rounds until it was a tie" okay, guys according to the musical choosical handbook of rulesicals, " carlos started, " stop it " ej scolded, " the only way to resolve a tie at the end of a regulation play is with the lightning speed round of getcha head in the game questions, are you ready? "

they all nodded, " be sure, because people are know to cry at this part " carlos informed, " i thought you never played this game with no one else? " seb asked, " not today hunny "

" the west knights win! " as they cheered, " you guys get this is homemade, scholastic, decathlon ribbon. it's just a straight pin that was never sanitized " carlos warned

gina called her mom, as her mom asked to go somewhere private. alora watched as the girl walked back with a mad expression , " hey you okay? " she asked, " i will be " gina informed, " wanna talk about it? " alora tilted her head, " not even a little " gina shook her head

" ill call you? " alora asked, " you heard what happened " gina sighed, which she kinda did, " i don't think there's any point in calling me anymore, do you? " gina walked away
