Our Love Is But A Play For The Audience
A/N This is my second Maid Sama fanfic and I really like the idea so plase enjoy and don't forget to read and review. This is your captain speaking.
Seika High wasn't a rich school by all means and it was clearly in need of funds unlike Miyabiagoka High School which was the land of milk and honey. The school that raised the most funds would help benefit the spastic people's charity organization as well as help the school get better and newer facilities.
" Listen up guys, if we want to help Seika High get better facilities we better start thinking of ideas to raise funds for charity. The ideas need to be big and is able to rake in a large sum of money and I'm not talking about selling cupcakes or lemonade," said Misaki who was going trough the list of some of the ideas the students had contributed.
" Hmmm….Washing cars on the weekends. That is a poor idea. People can wash their own cars therefore why would they drive all the way and pay money to Seika to do so," said Misaki as she read the idea on the paper.
" Misaki, if you keep on shooting down all our ideas, nothing is going to be done and we will never win that competition," said Kanou angrily as he stood in front of Misaki who was looking up from her paper. Misaki glared back at Kanou and she squared up to him.
" Kanou, if you think these ideas have what it takes for Seika to obtain the targeted amount of funds, please choose an idea and carry it out and we'll see the results," said Misaki calmly.
" I didn't say I had to prove it. All I said was that maybe some of them were good and we could consider them and not shoot them down straight away, Misaki. That may be your style but not ours," said Kanou raising his voice and the whole student council room grew quiet with the loud chattering of students becoming nothing more than a few coughs and whispers.
" Kanou, if you rather be stubborn and continue shooting down my actions, I suggest you abstain from this activity before you help us delay it any longer," replied Misaki calmly but you could hear the anger and frustration in her voice as she tried to control her temper.
" Kanou, Misaki knows what she is doing. If it isn't good enough for her, then it isn't good enough for the whole school," said Yukimura trying to placate both sides. Kanou gave a huff and pushed the crestfallen Yukimura out of the way before stomping out of the student council room.
" Men. Always so stubborn and irasional. Why can't they let women decide things that they are not smart at?" muttered Misaki as she continued reading the list of ideas on the paper.
" Collecting recyclable materials and selling it to the junkyard….What kind of lame and unproductive idea is this? This is not junior high you know," said Misaki and she heaved a sigh of annoyance. Yukimura fiddled with his fingers and he bit his lip.
" Misaki, do you have any ideas?" he asked timidly and everyone grew silent yet again as they awaited the queen's impartial decisions.
" Yes. So far I have only one which is most of us get part-time jobs and we will pool all our earnings together and we will probably get quite an admirable sum. Think about it, guys. Thirty of us who get paid 30 yen per week. That's 6000 yen in a month," said Misaki.
Nobody said anything but there was still general acquiescence in the student council room. " Not a bad idea at all, Misaki," smiled Yukimura who tried his utter best to convince Misaki that she wasn't being too hard on everyone.
" Misa-chan, what happened between you and Kanou? I just saw him sulking at the pavilion," said Sakura as she entered the room with Shizuko looking bespectacled at everyone.
" Ignore that idiot," said Misaki grinding her teeth. " He was just being uncooperative and annoying," she continued.
" We heard that you were garnering ideas for the competition and Shizuko and I came up with a brilliant one," Sakura said beaming while Shizuko couldn't help but smile too.
Everyone piped up and Misaki raised and eyebrow interestedly. " Really, Sakura-chan? Tell us what this grand idea of yours is this," said Misaki smiling.
Sakura drew a deep breath and she smiled at everyone." All right. We were thinking that all this manual labor won't benefit either side because the competition is next month and you only get paid monthly so it won't be enough. We came up with an idea which benefits actually the whole of the district or town," Sakura smiled.
Misaki's eyes widened and she urged Sakura to continue. " Is it community service?" asked Yukimura dejectedly and everyone looked at him. " Don't worry, it will be more fun that community service," said Shizuko and Yukimura breathed a little easier.
" We think that Seika high should organize a play or a show and sell tickets to people to come watch us perform and raise funds," said Sakura excitedly and all the students started buzzing with excitement.
" That's a good idea, Sakura but don't you think it might be a bit too much work for us," said Misaki.
" Nope. I chose an easy and lovely play, Romeo and Juliet which is a Shakespeare's classic. This will attract the older group of people who of course are adults and higher level students to come and but tickets since they like this sort of thing," replied Sakura.
" Do you even know the story?" asked Misaki unsure of Sakura who seemed a bit too eager about a classic story.
" Of course, Misaki. Do you really think we are that crazy enough to suggest a story that we don't even know about? You should have more faith in us," chuckled Shizuko and Misaki grinned sheepishly at her.
"First things first. Who is the director?" asked Yukimura hoping that the director would be kind enough to give him a decent role in the play.
" Me," said Shizuko triumphantly and everyone nodded in approval while Misaki laughed at her. " Are you sure you can handle all the stress and burden? It is really tough to coordinate and get everyone in shape," said Misaki but Shizuko was confident. " Don't worry Misaki. I can picture a successful play with lots of profit right now," smiled Shizuko.
" Anyway, I have thought about the cast and I have decided which role suits you best so please listen up," said Shizuko and everyone waited with anticipation.
" Juliet is going to be played by Sakura, Romeo is Usui Takumi, Tybalt is Hinata, Friar Lawrence is Yukimura, The weird trio are members of the Capulet family while Kanou and a few more students are the members of the Montague family," announced Shizuko and there were a lot of laughter and screeching among the students.
"Misaki volunteered to be the script writer and the story manager since she has such an interesting way of words and she is the only one who can make you listen," Shizuko smirked and Misaki grinned at them.
" I get to kiss Usui-san? For real? That is so, so, so awesome," squealed Sakura and Misaki couldn't help but feel a slight residuum of jealousy and anger inside her heart but she quickly tried to dismiss it.
