Adopted by Mean Girls Cast

Chapter 34

Bella's POV

 I'm sitting on the couch with Barrett when her phone rings. "It's the hospital." She says, walking into the other room to take the call. I pull out my phone and text Cat.

Bella: Hi.

Cat: Hey! What's up?

Bella: Barrett's on the phone with the hospital.

Cat: Oh no! Is everything ok?

Bella: IDK!

Cat: It's probably nothing. Did you hear? The theatre I act at is putting on a production of Bring it On!

Bella: Really? Are you gonna audition?

Cat: Yeah, probably. Are you?

Bella: I don't know.... I did a musical when I was 8 and my dad found out. It didn't really go over well.

Cat: Oh. I'm sorry. What musical?

Bella: Seussical. Actually, the girl playing Jojo looked a lot like you.

Cat: Wait, was that in 2014?

Bella: Yeah....

Cat: That was me! I was Jojo!

Bella: Omg really?

Cat: Yeah!

Bella: That's so cool! My mom's coming. Gtg.

Cat: Okay, bye.

I turn off my phone and turn to Barrett. 

 "So?" I ask.

 "You have JIA." She says. "Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis."

 "I have what?!" I yell. "Will I get better?"

 Barrett sighs. "No, it's a chronic illness which means it doesn't have a cure. But there is something we can do to stop it from getting worse."

 "What is it?" I ask.

 "You're going to have to get joint injections every few weeks." She tells me.

 "NEEDLES EVERY FEW WEEKS?!" I scream. I take a deep breath. "When's my first one?" I ask, a bit more calmly.

 "Next week." She tells me. "Are you okay?"

 That's when I get an idea. "Barrett?" 

 "Yeah?" She responds.

 "Can I try out for a musical? You know, to take my mind off things." I say.

"Of course!" She exclaims. "That's a great idea! What's the musical?"

 "Bring It On." I tell her.

 "Cool!" She says. "I was in that! What part are you going to audition for?"

 "Hm." I ponder. "Well my all time favourite is Campbell so maybe that?"

 Barrett calls the cast over to help me rehearse. I sing  with Barrett as Skylar, Taylor as Bridget, and Erika as Kyler. Kyle high fives me. "You go girl!" He says. After that we do One Perfect Moment, and I rehearse some lines. 

 "When are auditions?" Taylor asks.

 "Wednesday." I reply.

 "You're gonna kill it." She says with a smile.
