The jomies are at Drew's house

Jake: (Sighs, looking slightly nervous) "Yes! I'm singing with Hailey now! We're doing a duet because I wanted to sing with her."

Lia: (Smirking, leaning in closer) "Because of her stage fright, right?"

Jake: (Furrowing his brow, confused) "Wait, you know about that?"

Drew: (Crossing his arms, looking skeptical) "I don't get it, Jake. Are you singing for Daisy, or Hailey?"

Jake: (Defensively) "Er, for Daisy, of course! That hasn't changed..."

Lia: (Rolling her eyes, with a mocking smile) "I don't think Hailey thinks that. She wouldn't stop rubbing the whole duet thing in my face! The moment you auditioned she knew she could use you; that's all she cares about!"

Jake: (Shaking his head, adamantly) "That's not true! She accepted me because she thought I was passionate and was kind enough to give me a second chance! She told me herself."

Drew: (Leaning forward, voice dripping with sarcasm) "You seriously believe that? Just open your eyes already, Jake. Hailey can't sing by herself, so she needs you to. She's clearly a control freak who wants everything her way and is using you to get it. Just the way she was earlier today in the music room is proof enough!"

Zoey: (Laughing lightly, shaking her head. Twirling a lock of hair while leaning on Drew’s shoulder) "You gotta admit, Jake, she kind of does have you around her pinky finger. I gotta give her props for being a girlboss though."

Henry: (Smirking, chiming in) "Not to mention one of the freaks is trying to steal Daisy from you, knowing how much you sim- er, I mean, feel about her."

Liam: (Nodding, agreeing) "Henry's right. I mean, she's the whole reason you're doing this, soooo, what's the point if this Sean guy gets there first?"

Drew: (With a knowing look) "And the whole reason the school cares about this competition is you, Jake. You're spending all this time doing all this for them, and what do you get in return?"
