Leila appeared beside Luke, Alex, and Reggie without a word.
"Where have you been?" Reggie asked curiously beside her.
"Helping Julie out a bit." Leila shrugged ignoring their curious and confused looks, "You boys ready to go?"
They nodded and Leila held onto Reggie's hand as they teleported, unknowingly helping him land more stable, they got to the venue and waited for Julie to show up, Luke was the one to spot her which wasn't a surprise considering Alex and Leila were into a conversation about all the humans they could spot who they thought were cute, and if Alex mentioned a skater boy once too often considering there were no skater boys there, and Leila mentioned a bass player who didn't match up to any bass player that was there... well Reggie certainly didn't notice as he stared at Leila, stuck in his own mind. To be fair, Leila didn't notice him staring either.
"Guys!" Luke said going back to his friends after stepping a few feet away to look for Julie for the hundredth time, he interrupted Leila and Alex's conversation as he walked up but he didn't care, "Julie's here!"
Leila looked around but didn't see her, "Where?" She asked, her brows furrowed as Reggie forced himself to stop looking at her and look at Luke after Leila notices him looking, Leila smiled, fighting a blush and thanking the lighting of the club for not letting anyone see it.
"Over there." Luke said pointing. He groaned when none of them could see her and teleported away, right behind Julie, they followed.
"Huh, Julie is here." Reggie mumbled into Leila's ear as they teleported in next to each other.
"Who's playing?" Leila wondered, looking at the stage. They seemed familiar...
Wait... wasn't this the group that played at Julie's school?
"Yeah, the party don't start till I walk in," the girl in a pink wig and jacket sang, "I'm stealing all the attention."
Alex appeared in the middle of the stage as she sang, shocking the boys and Julie however Leila could safely say she was not surprised.
Julie looked back at Reggie and Leila however they only shrugged, "It's Alex." Was Leila's only answer to Julie's confusion. "He's dramatic."
"Don't get me started on mentions, yeah," as the song and dance continued, Alex joined in making Leila chuckle, "some might say I sound conceited, they don't get the shine that I get, some get jealous, they can't help it."
Alex danced behind the lead, making Leila's chuckle turned into a laugh, "they wish they were me, oh!"
"The sass!" Leila commented to Reggie and Luke making them chuckle as Alex twirled on stage.
"I keep the party going all night," Alex appeared next to them, Julie giving him a strange but amused look.
"You having fun out there?" Julie asked.
"Obviously." Leila laughed, Luke resting an arm on her shoulder as he smiled at Alex.
"It's not my fault, it's my um- it's my feet." Leila laughed though she couldn't help but understand. When she could dance, both at the club and before well being a ghost, where there was music, there would be Leila dancing along to it.
Julie nodded.
Alex was staring at the dancing group now, "Put me back in coach." He said making Leila laugh again, Reggie smiling at her.
Alex disappeared, popping up back on stage as he fell back into the choreography.
Leila couldn't help but wish she was up there too.
"When I grow up, I wanna be me, be me." The lead sang, oblivious to the ghost dancing with her, "I'm my own goals just talking honestly, must have won the lottery, ain't no one as hot as me-"
"Hey," Reggie called snapping her out of it, "you okay?" His brows were furrowed as he looked down at her, giving her his full attention.
"Yeah, just wish I could be up there too." Leila smiled, not realizing what she had said, Reggie seemed confused but didn't comment as she looked back at Alex and the group.
"Everywhere I go, all eyes on me, I only lead I never follow, follow," the lead continued to sing, Alex still dancing with her and her crew despite her knowledge which amused the ghosts and Julie, "I never open cause it's my show, my show-"
Alex circled her as she came up to the front of the stage, going behind her, "Don't know if people think I'm shallow, shallow," Alex walked away from the lead, going to his own corner of the stage he struck a pose as she sang, "Cause all I see is all eyes on me!"
The crowd cheered for the group unbeknownst to the real entertainment on stage though Alex didn't seem to care.
"Making me blush!" Alex told the crowd of lifers as if they could hear him, Leila laughed as the lead thanked the crowd.
Alex appeared next to them with a sharp inhale, "hey um, I was just... I was just doing that for you guys." He told them.
"Mhm." Luke hummed.
"Sure." Leila agreed with a nod.
"Yeah, you can stop smiling now." Reggie replied.
Leila laughed, getting closer to Reggie when Alex moved in closer to the group.
"Not gonna lie, that was kinda good." Julie told her lifer friend.
"Yeah, I forgot why I hate her so much." Flynn responded.
As if on cue, the group approached them of course they were only really approaching Flynn and Julie.
"Hi girls. Isn't it past your bedtime?" She asked tilting her head.
"Now I remember." Flynn told Julie, Leila couldn't help but hum in agreement behind them.
"If you're looking for Nick, he didn't come." She told Julie.
Julie scoffs, stepping up to her, "That's not why I'm here." Julie told her.
On stage, a worker took the mic, creating a little static before he spoke, "Okay, it looks like we're closing the night out with one more group," Leila smirked as if the girl could see her, "Julie and The Fat Ones."
Leila's eyes immediately went to Luke, "Really?"
The group snickered at Julie, laughing at them.
"Yeah, my handwriting sucks." Luke told them as if they didn't already know.
Leila sighed, "I thought you guys learned this lesson last time?" She asked them shaking her head, "Never let Luke write anything that'll be shown to the public."
It was an actual rule they had, Alex even had to help him write out his assignments because the teachers couldn't understand his writing.
Now it was obvious they should've kept the rule even as ghosts.
