Theater Kids
Chapter 1- Bred for the Theater
I was always like this. Staring in every school play, musical and talent show. You name it I was in it. And not just the Theater Dept. either, everything! Sports, honor society, student council everything I was in it. One thing was never enough for my family. But me I was bred for the theater. I know what you're thinking, don't you have a life outside of this? Well, that's just it, this is my life, its what I was conceived to do. That's just what the Strife Kids do. My older brother, Cloud, you must have heard of him he's in every movie that makes the blockbuster and is nominated for almost every academy award. Did I mention his husband was the director of most of those films, sheesh! My twin, Naminé, is in every pageant known to man and wins just about every one. My younger brother, Sora, is an aspiring filmmaker having won 10 indie film awards and one for an animation he created. And then there was me,Roxas, I've won every state title for MVP and every theater and show choir competition there was. I've been in two of my brother-in-law's films and make appearances in several commercials that still run.
Like I said, born to do this. Acting and singing that's my life. Nothing else. But wanna know what changed that? High school. I never feared competition. Never. Well once, but HE'S a different story. But this school strikes the feel straight to my heart. Am I scared? Yes. Am I a nervous puddle for the first time in my life? Yes. Will I make it through Radiant Garden's School For Musical and Fine Arts. I sure as hell hope so.
Axel POV
"Am I gorgeous or what," I say to my self in the mirror. This felt great! I moved out of that stupid town and am finally back on my feet. My career never looked better! "Hey, Demmy! Get up or we'll be late!". I jumped on the lump in the bed across from mine.
"Whyyy!" the lump wiggled under my tickles. "I don't wanna!".
"Why the hell not?" I ripped the covers of the lump to find my best friend in a ball. "Dem, if you don't-"I growled in his ear making him shoot up like a rocket on the Fourth of July.
"I'm up!" he jumped over me and made a bee line for the adjoining bathroom. I began to laugh. After a year of being in a boarding school you'd think we'd be excited to get back to normality. Nope not us, well at least not Demyx.
"Hey, Axel!" said friend called from the bathroom.
"Yeah?" I answered pulling on my hoodie and tying my shoes, I went towards the bathroom to hear him better. Why turn on the faucet right after you call for someone?
"I heard that the Strifes will be attending RG this year," the faucet turned off and he opened the door and stared at my face. "What are you going to do to them?". By the time he asked that my grin was even wider than before.
"What I was born to do," was my reply and I walked out of the bedroom. After all as far as my family goes there has always been a Strife to torment. My great-great- great-grandfather tormented them by making a fortune faster in the west back during the Gold Rush. Then my great-grandfather, by getting a higher rank in the military during WWII. Then my grandfather with his dance and theater company. And so on and so forth. My oldest brother tormented theirs and I torment the middle one. And I was far from done with him, I've ruined him during middle school and his father sued so I was sent to reformatory. But look out Strife Babies, look who's home. Don't judge me. Like I said, its what I was born to do and nothing existed out of their pain and misery. Except of course, my own fame.
I walked into the kitchen to hear my brother,Reno, on the phone,
"I don't care if Cloud wants the lead! Tell that director he better stop being a whipped ass and give me, my damn part!", there is a pause and he turns to me while listening to the other person on the line. Most likely Rude, his agent/ secret lover. What? This is show biz, that's how its done, don't even get me started on how many other stars do the same thing only worse. Take Cloud Strife, his HUSBAND is a director you know who gets the leads? If you said Cloud, you are correct and here's your prize: a cookie.
I rolled my eyes and made for the fridge. This was a typical argument every time Sephiroth made a new movie. See Seph was neutral. He didn't care who was in his movie. He just wanted a blockbuster, but of course it always turned out to be Cloud every time my brother auditioned. Figures. I pulled out some orange juice and drank from the carton just in time to see my brother throw his Blackberry right passed my mom's face.
"Reno!" she stormed in the kitchen and grabbed my brother's long red ponytail. "Go pick that up and apologize to Rude for being so, rude!" she let him go and her steely blue gaze locked with my forest green. " Didn't I tell you to stop drinking out of the carton!". That's when Demyx walked in all teary eyed from still being sleepy. "Aw, good morning Demmy,". The woman loved her blond baby. Yes,that's what she's been calling him since she adopted him...17 years ago.
"Mommy!" he ran in and hugged the woman tightly, "Mama, Axel jumped on me this morning while I was still sleeping and now I have a bruise see," he lifted his shirt on his left side to show her. Wait a minute I jumped on this right! That lying little-
"Axel!" she grabbed one of my long red spikes and pulled me down to her height. "I will murder you in you hurt my baby again," she said in a hush yet demanding tone. "Got it memorized?" she tapped my temple. I grinned like mad. Why was my mother using my catch graze?
"Sure, mom." she let go and pet my head. She grabbed her keys and walked out the door. Demyx had just grabbed and apple while grinning at me when the car revved.
"Time to go, sunshine~!" Demyx walked out the front door and I grumbled to myself. Sometimes I wonder what I was born into.
