pronouns?: she/her

the first of the rooney children was one olivia rooney, liv for short. she'd grown up on echo isle to good parents who loved her and the subsequent children that followed. the first of the siblings being her favorite by a landslide was her built in best friend, maddie. the two girls got along so easily despite their different personalities. they had each other's back through thick and thin and became nearly inseparable. that was until the biggest offer of liv's career came knocking. after years of theater work and local commercial gigs, she was extended the spot as the lead of the newest children's show on a major network. it would have been an easy yes had it not been for the realization she'd be away from her family and, most importantly, her sister for a while. with maddie's permission, she was able to go live out her dream (mostly) guilt-free.

hollywood became liv rooney's second home, she'd grown to love the spotlight her dream job gave her. of course being a child actor came with it's own problems but her passion for her work easily overlooked a lot of issues. the main problem always lead back to how far away she was from her family. though she knew they supported her, it still felt like she was distant no matter how many phone calls and video chats she could make. her new life required a lot of attention so eventually the calls became less frequent. the love for her family never lessened, it just became less apparent.

once the show that put her on the map ended, it opened the door for her singing career to take off. she became quite the youthful pop star that the public liked as a figure for girls everywhere. her first album was big for teens and tweens across the nation and only added to her fame. with a growing popularity, more acting offers were being given to her to bring star status to movies. while the desire to be back in echo isle remained a strong wish of hers, her publicist recommended she stay in hollywood given that her career was only starting. liv did as her publicist wished and stayed for numerous years, balancing her acting and singing careers.

with over 10 years away from her family, it was not a hard choice to make when it came to the decision of moving back to echo isle before the barrier took effect. liv had spent sufficient time in hollywood making a name for herself in both acting and music that she was certain she could keep up her fame wherever she went. so she packed up her things and moved back just in time for maddie's 21st to surprise her with not only her presence but the promise that she'd be around full-time. liv firmly believes this is where she's meant to be now, living with her sister once again in the place she was determined to get herself re-acquainted with and delve into creative projects with the people she loves around her.

HC’s:

has a couple of songs she made in her childhood that she wishes to forget, if anyone asks about them she'll happily say it was fun to make (which isn't false) but she mostly will grin and bear it while she dies of embarrassment on the inside

definitely keeps her social media pages up to date, most importantly her tik tok where she participates in fun challenges even roping maddie into doing some of them with her

before liv moved away, her and maddie always shared a birthday party given that their birthdays landed right next to each other with liv being born on the 5th and maddie's occurring on the 6th

loves nothing more than giving a makeover, especially when it's done to her sister. maddie doesn't like them but its so nice seeing her all glammed up! so for fun, liv sneaks around while her sister is sleeping to add some glam to maddie's face. it's just so worth it to see her sister's reaction

has had enough relationships in the public eye to know they just end up messy as hell so she's working on keeping her dating life more private from now on

pays for most of the rent for her and maddie's apartment, she just wants to be around her favorite person without having to worry the other about the money. she thinks of this is a sort of gift for the two of them

liv holds some guilt for not being as close to her brothers as she'd like but she tries her hardest to get to know them even if they do enjoy the weirdest of things

the clean image the tv network and publicist made liv keep has definitely limited the roles offered to her, she likes being a nice role model for kids but lately she's been wanting to do her own thing without the pressure of catering to anyone else other than herself. creative differences left liv with no choice but to fire her old publicist. thankfully, she found a new one as soon as she got to echo isle and they have definitely helped her ease into a more grown up image with more mature roles lined up for her and have found songwriters/producers around the island that can help her songs appeal to people around her age while still keeping her bubbly self evident through it all.

From the giggling to the strand of hair twirling around her fingers, Aaron knew this wasn’t a conversation she wanted to be having. Anyone else from the outside looking in wouldn’t have noticed anything wrong, likely would have even thought this was Liv being friendly and excited to see him, but he knew her tells and what she was like when she was feeling any sort of anxiety or nervousness. And this? This was a prime example of it. “Yeah, I came back a few weeks ago. We’re all here, the band I mean, working on our next album,” he explains, even though he doesn’t really need to have a reason to return to his hometown. But it was better to give that excuse than let her think he’d come all this way just for her - even if that had indeed been a contributing factor to his decision to relocate to Echo again.

“I did, actually. You were amazing, like always,” he agreed, a genuine smile growing on his face at the thought of her performance. It had been the entire reason he’d come tonight, to see Liv perform, but he knew better than to admit to that. Acting casual was going to be the best way to go, especially once her head turned to the side and Aaron realized she pieced together just who he was here with. Nothing had happened between him and the other popstar, not now or ever in the past, but he knew she wouldn’t believe him if he explained that - so it was best to just pretend like he didn’t know exactly what she was already thinking. “Nah, I’m just here to support some friends. I was just getting ready to go watch one of them actually. You know Nibs, right? He and the other guy are doing one of their songs from the movie you all did together.” Something she probably already knew, especially considering she just said she had seen the set list, but he feels it’s still his best bet to make it seem as if he were here for multiple people rather than the girl whose dressing room he just came out of.

[rooneysliv]

Liv nodded along as he revealed his plans, still playing with her hair at the idea that he and his bandmates were officially settled on the island again. It wasn't just a couple of small visits as she was hoping they'd be, this greatened the odds of how many more awkward conversations she might have with Aaron in the future. "That sounds so fun, I can't wait to hear what y'all put out." She mainly only said this out of politeness, there weren't really any plans on listening to his music at all ever since they'd broken up. Liv only did when the breakup was still fresh and used it intermittently to sob to or to take out some aggression but other than that she wasn't keen on hearing his voice. "How're the guys? It's hard to keep tabs on them, I hope everyone's doing well."

Despite the fact that Liv was practically begging for the praise, she could tell he was sincere when he said she was amazing. It was as simple as a genuine compliment that could get a lively smile out of her. "Glad we can both agree on that, thank you." Liv had hoped that maybe, just maybe, there was a chance she could finally move on and be okay from the heartbreak like she convinced herself she was. But then the mention of Nibs popped up and it reminded her of exactly why she didn't think that was possible. "Yeah, I know Nibs. Fun guy." She'd figure he'd agree with that sentiment considering the fact that the rumor mill had implied those two shared a good time together alongside a third partner for all of social media to see. Aaron could do whatever he wanted while he was single, that was fine with Liv but she could've done without the knowledge of his private life and without the world asking her what she thought of the situation. "Y'know, I thought I saw you on his profile a couple of weeks ago, I could've sworn I was just seeing things but it's good to see that you two are, uh, close."

It had taken Angelica's help but they actually found a suit within his budget that didn't look like it came from the thrift store. He didn't even entirely know how he'd ended up in this position but wasn't going to complain when it was Liv Rooney he got to be in the company of that night. That alone meant that Dodger needed to clean up as a pair of cargo pants wouldn't do for a nice dinner together. The boy adjusted the collar of his button-up, feeling a little claustrophobic in the layers he usually didn't bother with. He waited outside for her knowing how to be a gentleman more than well-dressed but tried to ignore the hankering for a cigarette when someone nearby lit up. Only moments later he saw the girl of the night, a smile coming to his lips, and suddenly forgetting how uncomfortable he felt in his suit once he saw her own attire. "Holy fuck, uh, shit sorry," he said shaking his head. "I mean, you look uh, really beautiful." The blonde's arm out for her to take if she wished, hoping that he'd put himself together enough. "I just hope I don't look like too much of a dirtbag standing next to you."

[rooneysliv]

Liv had learned a long time ago that half the things in Hollywood weren't nearly as true as they made it out to be. Celebrities there would find the perfect photo opportunities just to make themselves look good or push some narrative, it was all an act, to say the least. While those tricks weren't exactly honest, she couldn't help but wonder if using such an opportunity now would be such a bad thing. The tabloids had already had their turn ruining relationships for her, she wondered if they could create relationship rumors instead. It wasn't a serious thing, nor would she really allow it to be real but if her ex was gonna go around the island allegedly having threesomes then maybe it would help to look unbothered with a guy on her arm. And if they happened to get a couple of photos taken by the paparazzi then that would be great. Despite the hours she spent getting ready, she still deigned surprised that someone would compliment her appearance. Her favorite thing to hear were his words exactly. "You're too sweet," She waved off his comment only to be stung by what she heard next. A small frown formed, it genuinely pained her to hear anyone put themselves down. "Stop that, you look incredible. Did Angelica take you shopping?"

closed starter for @rooneysliv location: the theatre community fundraiser show thing

Though he was backstage in thanks to Poppy and her invitation for him to watch the show, everyone around them likely knew the real reason Aaron had shown up at a musical theatre showcase. Sure, if asked he was going to say he was here to support his friend and if his ex-girlfriend happened to be brought up, he was prepared to deny knowing she was even a part of the setlist… but everyone likely saw right through those lies. Even he found it slightly hard to believe the words. But whatever, it didn’t matter why he was here - just that he was. He had no intentions of actually reaching out to Liv today - all he had wanted was to just be there to see the show, to see her in person performing for the first time since they’d broken up. Seeing her in her element on a stage had always been one of his favorite things, and that wasn’t going to change just because they were no longer together. If he had the opportunity to be on the sidelines and watch her perform again, he was always going to take it - no matter where they were at in their personal lives.

His attempts at staying out of her way weren’t exactly the best and clearly didn’t end up working when he happened to be leaving Poppy and Sharpay’s shared dressing room at the same time that Liv was leaving her own, right next door. Of all the ways they could have run into each other or any of the ideas he’d had for letting her know he was back on the island, this standing in the hallway staring at each other in complete shock that the other one was really there certainly hadn’t been on either list. But here they were and there was no going back down, running away or dodging back into the dressing room would only make him look guilty and that was the last thing he wanted to seem like in front of her. So instead he found himself raising a hand, a half smile growing on his lips as he greeted her. “Hey. I, uhh, I didn’t realize you’d be here tonight,” he lies, thinking that to be better than admitting he was here purely to see her.

[rooneysliv]

"Aaron. Hi," a nervous giggling fit took over whenever she'd caught herself under an extremely unfortunate set of circumstances that needed just a bit of alleviating. She found herself subconsciously playing with a lock of her hair, if the giggling wasn't a sign that she was uncomfortable then this certainly was. "I didn't even know you were on the island," A complete lie but one she felt she had to make because saying she was stalking his every move through a burner account for the past few weeks was inappropriate. It all started with a post she saw the day after halloween on a former co-star's instagram, and then it led to her finding out exactly what he had been up to since they ended things. "Did you see my performance? Didn't I just sound so good out there?" A small brag was necessary, the amount of practice she'd put into those songs felt worth it, and she just wanted the affirmation. Being caught up in the shock that he was here at all, he didn't know the 'why' of it all. All it took was a small look to his right and she felt like she found the answer right there. She'd kept the smile on her face despite the elephant now in the room, but maybe had less pep to her as her eyes drifted back to him after seeing Poppy's dressing room and only guessing the worst. "Are you, uhm, performing? I didn't see your name on the setlist." Liv could only hope someone wasn't actively trying to throw her off her game by adding him in to the showcase at the last minute and not warning her, so his answer was actually quite pertinent.

Marie couldn't say no, not wanting to let down her brother who was dating Liv's younger sister. That being said, there was conflicting information on the girl and the blonde was determined to figure it out herself. The best way to connect with someone was through music or at least that's how Marie had been able to find common ground on many occasions. "Merci, merci, you are too sweet," the girl replied waving off the compliment. "I still have so much to learn but it's been nice to do what I've always loved. My brother is the musical genius, really, I just provide the voice and some words to go with." It was a joint effort to create her album but now that it was in the world, Marie finally felt like she'd done something she was proud to call hers. Maybe this was the perfect chance for her to learn more about the industry and get in with someone who had already won over an audience. "You are too kind. I am so new, I feel like you are the real expert here." Marie gave her a smile before taking a sip from the straw in her Diet Coke which had become a staple to her writing process. "Two hot girls with talent, what could go wrong, oui?"

[rooneysliv]

It was exciting talking to someone so new to the scene but so meant for it. Liv had no doubt that Marie would become a household name around the world. "You're such a natural at it, you and your brother are seriously so good at what you do. I sometimes wish Maddie had picked up an instrument instead of a basketball but you can't exactly pick out someone's passion for them." Liv knew all too well how important one's creative team is, she did wish her sister could be a part of it but alas, it was just one of the differences that made the Rooney girls individuals. "Oh, please," she loved a good compliment but she also loved playing coy so she blushed away at Marie's comment, trying really hard to pretend like she didn't want to hear anything else nice said about her. "Just because I've been in the industry for a bit doesn't mean I know everything, there's still a lot to learn. But everything I do know, I'll be sure to pass along to you. Don't want you making the same mistakes I did." She tossed her hair over her shoulder, "I love the way you think."

"You will not believe how long I've been waiting for this." The compliment shower came pretty much as soon as the two were seated at their table. It was the very least that she could do for the girl after she agreed to a collaboration. "I mean pretty much immediately after as I saw you in Mamma Mia, I was like 'I need to have her on my next album.' You were just incredible in that and then your album came out and I was blown away, seriously. Maddie said great things about your voice, and I have to say I'm a bit jealous that she got to hear you before I did." The obligatory sister mention was needed, Liv wanted to keep her sister in a good light in front of Toulouse's sister. She pondered on other things her sister might've said about the Bonfamilles, finding anything for Marie to comment on so she could talk about herself. "And you've just been keeping all this talent hidden away in France. I, for one, am lucky that the island is getting to see you have your moment."

HAVANA ROSE LIU — Pop Magazine Issue 51 Autumn/Winter 2024 by John Yuyi

[lillillian]

It was admittedly kind of strange to see her brother succeed after years of being the more parentally disappointing twin. It seemed that Phil had finally slept with someone who could actually help him progress his career in a more lucrative direction than sex tapes, who had miraculously seen something in him that was worthy of giving a real, Hollywood shot. It was Lil's first time on an actual set (unless you considered Phil's bedroom one as well), and as she watched her twin act the most professionally she'd ever witnessed, she couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride in him.

Of course, that pride was singularly felt by Lil, who had borne witness to her brother's journey here. At least, that's what she'd thought, until a girl in blue plaid approached her to tell her otherwise. Lil had nearly caused a disturbance with the half snorted laugh she let out at the brunette's commentary, positive she had the wrong person in mind. "I'm sorry, you've got to have the wrong guy in mind. My brother's Phil, the football player." But, as who Lil recognized as the lead continued, maybe she'd blown off the possibility that this was no mistake prematurely. "But, yeah, it is. And Phil's, too. Are they always this quiet?"

[rooneysliv]

Liv giggled softly at the behavior that she knew could only come from a sibling."Pretty sure we're talking about the same person. Unless that guy in the letterman jacket has a different cute twin I should be talking to." She tilted her head with her lips extending into an innocent smile. Liv was never one to be coy about anything, her attraction to anyone was going to be made known and this instance was no different. "Then in that case, welcome on set. I'm Liv," her hand extended to the other. "Normally, yes, but I think it might be slightly more quiet than usual because no one wants to get the director mad. Don't tell her I said this but she kind of terrifies me."

Dodger had narrowly avoided a run-in with his estranged father, using his bob-and-weave skills to move through the crowd on his skateboard. He'd learned a thing or two from his days as a petty thief. It wasn't that he wanted to steal but growing up he did whatever was necessary to survive. The law was the least of his worries when his life depended on it. These days, Dodger had found some sort of normalcy, so he only needed to use his skills when applicable. The messy-haired boy looked back from his path to make sure he'd ditched the man in question, only to go barreling into an innocent bystander. "Fuck, shit, fuck," he muttered while trying to recover his balance and keep her from falling. "My bad. Are you good?"

[rooneysliv]

This was not Liv’s first literal run-in with someone on a skateboard, she’d been in this exact scenario before with an ex but it wasn't as graceful as this. The sudden rush of the situation was still processing in her mind but before she knew it she was in someone's grasp. It might not have been the usual reaction to a near tumble but finding the best in the situation was certainly what Liv intended on doing. The girl was a romantic, how else was she supposed to interpret suddenly falling into the arms of a cute guy as anything other than a meet-cute? "I'm good now," she beamed up at him. "Do you usually run into girls like this or am I just lucky?"

It was a bit surprising that Gwen was relaxed about having guests on set. As long as they didn't cause too much traffic, it was fine. Even Liv had invited her own family members every once in a while. She relished when her fellow coworkers took the same opportunity to bring friends. In this case she noticed someone on the sidelines that looked quite similar to the Phil Deville that was busy being filmed at the moment. Liv's recollection to his mentioning that he had a twin made it quite obvious who the guest was.

"Your brother," She initiated as she stepped closer to the other, trying not to make too much noise while the cameras were rolling. "He's doing a really good job out there. And he's been a fun person to have on set, so I feel like I can speak for everyone when I say that we're glad he's here." Her reassurance was the truth, she loved working with someone new to the scene. They often had an eagerness to them and a willingness to try out creative choices, which she really enjoying seeing from Phil. "He mentioned that this was his first time on an official movie set, does that mean it's your first time too?"

[sharpayyyyy]

sharpay: that's so funny, I've never actually heard you comment on it before in person and we literally work together

sharpay: do you not have a producer you've worked with on your other moderately successful albums?? or do you have to steal mine

sharpay: [Sent 1 Contact: Kelsi Nielsen]

[rooneysliv]

liv: now *that* is so funny because i could have sworn i said something to you after you performed at that engagement party but i guess it must've slipped my mind! haha whoops!

liv: well it kind of goes unsaid that it was a great album. it really showed me how much hidden talent was just wandering around the island so while the wonderful producers who i've had the pleasure of working with are amazing at their craft, i just wanted to branch out and build more relationships within the music industry

liv: you are amazing for this!!! i definitely owe you one, maybe i could get you into contact with some the people i've worked with before

[sharpayyyyy]

sharpay: hey

sharpay: umm I guess but why? I didn’t know you were working on anything

sharpay: I’m working on some new stuff with her so she’s gonna be busy fyi

[rooneysliv]

liv: yeah im planning on an album release around the same time as the premiere! don't worry, i've already talked about it with gwen so we're working on a schedule that won't interfere with reshoots and filming for promo rollout

liv: love that you're also working on stuff!! that's so exciting, especially when your last album was soooo good!! i'm sure a lot of that was done with hard work from you and kelsi

liv: i just want to see if she's available to help me around with some songs, it's not a done deal. obvi it's up to her to see if she can work with both of us. which i'm sure she can do considering how talented she is :)

#movie of all time

[rooneysmaddie]

Her sister had a point to her first statement: logically, there was a part of Maddie that knew, deep down, she was correct in that she should not be the one fighting for a boy who had been the one to break up with her. It wasn't even in her nature to fight for a boy in general, much less one who hadn't wanted to stay with her. But, it had seemed that all logic was thrown out the window tonight, as none of this seemed to matter to her. Future Maddie would be appalled to know that all of her principles surrounding men were practically abandoned, but all her focus was now, in the present, pointed towards getting her ex-boyfriend back.

"I don't know about that," Maddie sighed, much more dramatically than she typically was over anything, much less romance. "You're saying that, but I really ... I don't know. Now that I think about it, he and I don't make much sense, at all. He takes photos and he's French--that sounds like someone you would date, not me." All of this was true, but her heart was simply forgetting what made her forget logic in favor of love when it came to her boyfriend, which, any other time, would be for the better.

Maddie was not the kind to back down from a challenge, as her sister very well knew, which was precisely why her pointing out her ex's infatuation with the singer didn't seem to faze her a bit. "They're not together, are they? I could take her," she mused, feeling herself straighten a bit as she surveyed the blonde across the room. "What? No, I'm not drunk, Liv. I haven't even had that much to drink, I swear. I should ... I need to talk to them, before I leave."

[rooneysliv]

Theoretically, Maddie made sense, the compatibility between those too shouldn’t have been that great. However, none of that mattered if it came down to how they felt about each other. Liv was sure she was going to make sure her sister could comprehend that, “Don’t think about what you think should make sense, as long as you like him then that should be enough.” That statement felt easy enough to follow along, but then came the issue of this situation coming down to the question of whether her feelings for Toulouse had changed. “Unless you don’t like him anymore, then that’s a different issue entirely.”

Though she’d love to see the showdown between her sister and the petulant blonde she now had to work with, this wasn’t the time nor the place to do it. Regardless of that though, it just didn’t seem right that her sister was thirsting after an ex who, in her opinion, wasn’t that cute or worthy of wanting back. Liv grabbed her sister by the arms, playfully shaking her back and forth, “Well if you’re not drunk then you need to wake up because you’re acting weird.” Maddie was clearly going through something and Liv’s only guess was that it had to do something with the fact that Valentine’s Day brought out funny behavior sometimes. She’d seen the way it brought out the worst and the best in relationships, maybe this was something her sister was temporarily stressing over. “You can talk to them in a second. Right now, I need you to help me find somewhere I can touch up my makeup.”

[rooneysmaddie]

Though logically Maddie knew her sister was right: she had been broken up with, not the other way around, it still didn't quite compute for her just why things had gone south between her and Slightly. Maybe it was something she'd done, in which case, she needed to go and fix things now, before it was too late and he left the party without Maddie knowing just how she felt. "Yeah, he did, but was it something I did? I should go apologize. I would never do something so bad that someone would want to break up with me, would I?"

The mention of her boyfriend's name added another layer to the haze she was experiencing: she was dating someone, but why was it him, of all people? "Yeah, I know, but I don't ... what if I made a mistake, if he's not the one I'm supposed to be with? I thought Toulouse and I were just really good friends. I don't even know him that well. I mean, of course I like him, but I don't like him like that." Now that she tried to think about it, she couldn't really recall much of what she knew about the guy who was supposed to be her boyfriend. "Why are you looking at me like I have three heads?"

[rooneysliv]

Hearing all of this was shocking, to say the least, it was enough to have Liv’s jaw practically drop to the floor. If Liv knew anything about her sister, it was that she would never stoop so low as to make herself look like an idiot for a boy. “Because you’re acting crazy.” She grabbed her sister’s arm and guided the two further away than any guest could hear them. “First off, you are way better than someone who begs to get back with an ex that dumped you in the first place. He shouldn’t need any convincing to take you back, if anything, he should be the one begging.” 

The next order of business being the very boy Maddie came to this event with, granted he was too busy taking pictures for the event to spend much time with his girlfriend but regardless, that could not have been enough to leave Maddie with wandering eyes. “Second, I thought you really liked Toulouse. You blew me off to spend New Year’s with him, I would think you like him more than like that.” If anything Liv thought the two were getting serious between the couple, she was happy to see it happening for her sister even if it did come at the sacrifice of sisterly bonding time.

Though the first two reasons felt more than enough to convince Maddie that what she was saying was crazy, this time around, Liv decided to indulge in this weird reality where her sister really wanted to get back with her ex, “Third, even if you weren’t dating - which, I feel the need to reiterate - your current boyfriend and you did happen to want to go back to Slightly, after talking to a bunch of other guests, I know for a fact he’s been going after Sharpay. He’s not even available for the taking. So you’re better off taking all this weird energy and talking it over with Toulouse, okay?” For Maddie to be saying all of this, Liv had to think there was more than something wrong with their relationship at all. No, there had to have been something going on with her sister, “I think we need to get you home, you’ve clearly had enough to drink.”

[rooneysmaddie]

~timeskip to valentines day~

It had come as a shock to her that her sister wanted to go to the engagement celebration of a girl Maddie knew she couldn't stand, but thus was show biz. It was nice to know that she had someone else to hang out with besides her boyfriend, who was technically working as he took pictures of the seemingly happy couple. Except, her boyfriend wasn't even a thought on her mind right now; her heart had become overwhelmed with longing for her ex instead. Maddie didn't offer up much information about any crushes upfront to her sister until she was absolutely overcome with liking that her heart couldn't take it anymore to hold it in, which was exactly what she was feeling right now, for another boy.

"Liv," she gushed, taking her sister by the arm as she whisked her away from a conversation she could tell she didn't want to be having, anyway. "Did I ever tell you why Slightly and I broke up? Can you remember if it was a good reason? Because I can't," she remarked, still frustrated with herself that she was having trouble recalling how her previous relationship had ended. If there wasn't any one reason she could think of, it must not have been a good one. "He just looked so good playing up there, right?"

[rooneysliv]

Liv wasn’t always informed of Maddie’s love life, maybe it was because she had a terrible habit of meddling in it but that was out of helping her sister, or that’s how the older Rooney saw it. Still, she was informed of some things and of the small pieces of information she was given, she held onto it for future reference such as instances like this, “Wasn’t he the one that broke up with you?” It was odd enough that her sister was asking about an ex, she supposed mention of him was from being in close proximity to him at this party but then Maddie went on about how good he looked. Assuming it was a joke, Liv let out a small chuckle until realizing her sister was being serious.

“I can’t say I saw the same thing as you did.” It was fair to say the two sisters had different taste in men, but regardless of that, Liv wasn’t paying much attention to the guitarist in the performance, she was much more entranced at witnessing the stunt Sharpay was pulling at an engagement party of all places.
