"Welcome students, to another year at the prestigious Hollywood Arts High School!" Principal Helen's voice boomed over the microphone. Every student at Hollywood Arts High School was crammed into the Blackbox theatre for the first-day-of-school announcements. Most got there on time and were seated comfortably in the seats. Meanwhile, others were standing along the sidelines.

"As many of you know, HAHS is one of the top arts high schools in America, with a small acceptance rate. You are several of the most talented teenagers in the nation," Principal Helen paused for the students to clap. "Here at Hollywood Arts, we expect you to be on top of your studies and your selected craft. Have a good day!"

Students filed out of the auditorium on to their first classes of the day. As Principal Helen watched them walk away from the auditorium, she couldn't help but pray for the students.

As talented they were, they were not prepared for the cutthroat reality of Hollywood Arts High Schools. As good of Hollywood Arts was, it was also full of sabotage and competition. Fake audition dates in the acting department, backbreaking competitions in the dance department, ripped music sheets in the music department, and even more in the smaller ones.

It was going to be one heck of a year.
