Ch 1 Another Play
Kyo's P.O.V
I took my head, and I banged it against my desk so hard, I bet everyone in the town could hear it. Ya' know why? Because we're doing another. stupid. play. "Kill me now." I murmered silently under my breath.
The class let out a groan as our teacher scribbled a few notes on the blackboard. She turned around, and gave us all a rather..displeased look.
"I wonder what play it's going to be?!" A happy voice said from behind me
Even though I knew this day couldn't possibly get ANY worse, I let out a little smile. Even in the bleakest times, Tohru's cheery voice always seemed to cheer me up. I slowly lifted my head, and peered back at the girl. I smirked to myself, and gazed at her beautiful blue eyes. After ahwile, it dawned on me that I could have been staring at her
"Um...Kyo-Kun is something wrong?" She asked me with her head tilted, her long flowing brown hair falling off her shoulder and down onto her desk.
I stared at her a little longer, not processing what she said, still staring at her perfect, beau-
"Hey lover boy Tohru just asked you a question." Uo said folding her arms, sounding agitated. Not that that was anything new.
"Wha'?" I asked, a little dazed.
I could see a few people turn there heads my way, giving me sideways glances. Some even murmered. I then turned to Uo, who had a hard stare plastered on her face, arms still folded across her chest, while Hana stared at me with her usual expression. I quickly turned away with a shiver. Her cold stare and creepy feeling that she was reading my 'Waves' or so people called it always got to me.
I slammed my head back down on my desk, again, making a loud 'THUNK' sound as cranium met wood. 'Why did she have to be so dang cute?' I thought to myself. I then felt a hand touch my shoulder. A more kind touch. I slowly raised my head, preparing for Uo or Hana to give me a lecture. But it was only Tohru. I sighed a little, glad I didn't have to put up with any more torture from the over protective twosome.
"It's ok Kyo-Kun," Tohru said, giving me one of her genuine 'I'm sorry' smiles. "Even though i'm not sure what's wrong!"
She just smiled at me for a while while I stared at her blank-faced. The girl then stared freaking out like she always does when something gets a little too awkward. I decided to speak up so she wouldn't make another scene like she usually does. I swear, sometimes I think she could be Ritsu's long lost sister or something.
"Thanks, I think.." I murmered "At least you..tried to..make it better?" I said.
'God, what kind of a moron ARE you?!' A little voice inside my mind beckoned.
Tohru instantly stopped, hands at her side, eyes looking directly into mine. "I-I.." She just gave another smile, again, trying to cover up another awkward moment. "I..Just want to let you know, you're my friend Kyo-Kun, and I'll always love you! No matter what's wrong!" She said tipping her head and smiling once more, probably refurring to the 'Monster' scene that happened a while back.
A few seconds later of processing all that she'd said, my cheeks imediatlly turned a bright red color, and my pupils dialated some. Tohru then relized that she had probably said that wrong, and then started to get uneasy once more.
"I-I mean like, friend love not..LOVE love..N-Not that I wouldn't Love you in that way, it's just..." She said, acting like a spaz. Then she banged her head on her desk like I did not five minutes before.
"Gee, thanks.." I muttered, putting my head in my hand, and glancing up at the black board, and our teacher who was giving me a god awful stare. Her foot tapped against the hard floor, a clicking sound illuminating from the tiles.
"If we're all done here," She said looking straight towards me, one of her eyebrows raised. "The Play we will be putting on is-"
Okay, sure, I was a little curious of what it was going to be. I glanced back at Tohru, whos head was still in her arms. A moment later her eyes peeked out from behind her navy blue school uniform, and I shot back around so she wouldn't see me glancing behind. I patiently waited to hear what the new play was going to be.
"SWEENEY TODD!" Teacher said excidedly, her attitude changing for a brief moment. She then coughed into her fist, and put her hands behind her back.
Everyone was quiet for a moment, then the room burst! I covered my ears as hats flew into the air, and dropping to the floor two seconds later. I was actually..kinda' excited. I guess Cinderella...or in our case 'Sorta Cinderella' was a tad creepier than other plays that had been performed, Sweeney Todd was actually okay! I mean, it's about a Demon Barber. Who Slits throats open for a living. You do the math.
"OK I know everyone is excited, but let's first get everything started." The teacher said trying again to calm everyone. "The cast will be picked tomorrow, voted among the class in individual votes."
I saw Tohru fidget a tad, and then raise her hand "Can I nominate someone for the main role?..Today?" She asked, smiling.
Everyone turned their attention to Tohru. The Teacher nodded her head as if to say 'Go On'.
"I nominate Kyo Sohma as the role of Sweeney Todd!" The brown-haired girl said, now smiling even more wide, looking at me. I then had a feeling she knew I had a spark of intrest when the play was announced. My stoumach felt like a twisted knot for some unknown reason, but I pretended like it wasn't there.
Some of the class started nodding, and even smiling. "He would be perfect for a Demon Barber.." Someone murmered, others having the same, or almost the same comment.
The Teacher sighed, nodded, then smiled. "I guess you're the main role, orange top." She said, now looking down at me. The bell then shot out an ear peircing ring, and dismissed the class.
"Alright everyone i'll see you tommorrow. We vote for characters tomorrow, and scripts will be handed out!" Teacher said guided us out of the room.
On the way back home, Tohru and I were talking about the scripts and what Sweeney Todd was all about.
