Sitting Indian style on the ground, I was finishing painting one of my props for the show tomorrow.
"Hey, I think it's time to head home Catori," Miko said looking down at me.
Looking up to meet his blue eyes I replied holding up my sword, "But I still have to finish this."
"No buts, it's time to go home. You know how you get when you don't get enough sleep. I don't want to be dealing with a Cati World War III tomorrow."
Scowling at him I said, "I'll be fine! And it won't take me that long to finish this. Also, I have to check and make sure everything is in place for tomorrows show."
"But-"
"No Buts! Go home. You didn't get any sleep last night. So go home, go to sleep, and I'll take care of everything."
"But I'm your ride home. And it's late at night so-"
"I'll be fine! I'll have Chang (my butler) pick me up."
"Cati-"
"Go home, its ok, really," I said standing up giving him a smile.
"But-"
"Just look at yourself! You have black circles under your eyes!"
"I-"
"Go on," I said pushing him toward the two big doors leading out of the drama theater.
"I just hate leaving you here all (yawn) alone."
"I'll be fine, no go on before you pass out or something."
Sighing he finally replied, "Fine….but make sure to text me when you leave and-"
"When I get home…yeah, yeah I KNOW!"
"I'm just worrying about you," he said giving me an innocent look.
"Yes, I know but I'll be fine. I don't have much to do anyway."
"M'kay," he said giving me a final look before pushing the door open.
"Night."
"Night," I said turning around as he walked out the door.
"Are you sure-"
"YES!" I said turning around to only see his head peaking in behind the door.
"Ok…going now."
"Mhmmmm…..I know you're still there….."
"Ok fine I'm going," he replied from behind the door.
Walking up to the door I opened it and saw he was walking down the hall.
Good….he's finally gone.
Jogging back up to the stage, I grabbed my sword and started putting the finishing touches on it. IT NEEDED TO BE PERFECT! A few minutes of painting later I was satisfied. Going to the back, where all our costumes were, I set it down next to all my other armor parts. Sighing, I went over to my vanity (which had my name at the top) and grabbed a clipboard from it. Walking through the dressing room I checked on all the costumes and props that we need.
Ok so we have all our costumes and props…..
Walking over I checked to make sure all pulleys and other "lifting machinery," or whatever those things are called that lower and raise the backdrops (and yes I know I should know what those are called by now, but I don't), were working.
Ok that's good…
"Wigs: check, Makeup: check, Lights: check, speakers: check, backdrops: check, smoke machine: check," after a good 20 minutes of looking over everything else on the list and rechecking all the stage lights, I considered myself done.
"Ugh…." I grunted as I plopped in the middle of the stage after putting down my clipboard back on my vanity.
Twiddling my fingers I debated on whether I wanted to do what I knew I probably shouldn't do because it would prolong me getting home and would just keep Miko up because he was waiting for me to text him…..but after much consideration I decided to do it anyways, right after I texted him I was going to be leaving (even though I wasn't).
Walking up to the back of the stage I lowered one of our greatest backdrops for tonight's show. It was a fantasy background which took Miko and me a week to paint (including during and after school hours). I then quickly sprinted over and turned on the dramatic music we had set for this scene. Running into the back I grabbed my sword that I just finished and started getting into my "mode" to recreate/practice one of the most dramatic scenes of tomorrow's play.
Taking a deep breath I put my serious face on and called out to….well…no one…
"There is nowhere to go Tomar! Nowhere left to hide! It's over!" I said extending out my sword (again to no one…)
I then let there be a slight pause, for where Tomar (well the actor who played Tomar) would say his line.
"This is final time you will defy any life again Tomar! THIS IS THE END!"
I went to go pretend stab a pretend Tomar, until I heard someone scream. Looking up I saw someone fall from the catwalk and grab onto our backdrop so they wouldn't fall…well it didn't work (other than delay his fall) and he proceeded to fall and rip the backdrop in the process. I watched in horror as he hit the ground with a thud. Running up I pushed the backdrop off of him and laid his head in my lap.
"ARE YOU OK?!"
Opening his big dark pink eyes he groaned and gave me a small smile.
"Yeah I'm ok."
"Oh good," I said giving him a smile but then putting on a more serious face, "SO NOW I CAN KILL YOU!"
"HUH?" The blonde said scrambling out of my lap.
Running towards him in full rage I yelled, "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME AND MIKO TO PAINT THAT?! DO YOU?!"
"AHHHH!" he said running away.
"THE PLAY IS TOMORROW!" I yelled out trying to grasp him.
"AHHHH DON'T KILL ME!"
Lunging at him I pinned him to the ground, straddling his waist, and pinning his wrists above his head.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD WHERE YOU DOING UP THERE!? WHY ARE YOU AT THE SCHOOL SO LATE AT NIGHT?!"
"U-Uh my teammates and I were working on o-our pool for the swim club! I left something back here and came to go get it-"
"I don't want your explanation!" I said with my anger only rising.
"But you asked-"
Taking a closer look at his face I said, "Hey you're the guy that I saw this morning, when we were hanging up our flyers."
~flashback~
Walking down the hall I went over and put the final notice for the show tonight onto the bulletin board. Glancing over I saw someone was intently staring at my poster.
"Wow cool poster!" The blonde said.
"Um thanks. The show's tomorrow if you want to come. Tickets are still for sale until the end of the day."
He just giggled and smiled at me, "Sounds cool. I love fantasy stuff….Hey would you like to join-oh wait you're a girl."
Giving him a weird look I said, "And what's that supposed to mean?"
He then pointed to his poster with a smile. Looking at the very odd poster with some kind of bird on it, I realized what he meant.
"Oh a guy's swimming club huh? What you have that whole 'guys are still better than girls at sports' thing?"
Thinking that I was offended he said, "O-oh no I just thought that you wouldn't be interested-"
"Naw I'm just messing with ya'. Although I still don't like people who think that. And I'm WAY too busy with the drama club anyway."
He just gave me another one of his big smiles holding out his hand saying, "My name's Nagisa, and no need to tell me who you are, I already know."
"Really?"
"Yeah you're Catori, the girl who runs the whole drama club and puts on all the plays, not to mention is in all of them. How could I not know who you are?"
Giving him a smile I said, "Well I guess the word travels fast."
~end of flashback~
Grabbing his collar I pulled him close to my face, "I'm going to kill you."
He whimpered and clenched his eyes expecting me to start beating on him, but I didn't. Heaving a big sigh I got off of him and walked over to the backdrop to see if it was salvageable. Just at first glance I saw that it was totally ruined.
What am I going to do!? The play is tomorrow! There's no way for me to finish it all tonight and even if I worked on it tomorrow! AND WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO TELL MIKO?!...not to mention I told all those snot nose Glee Club girls that I had this really cool backdrop for the play that was going to make their noses bleed from just looking at it….this backdrop was going to put those snots in their place….oh gosh….
Sinking down I sat in the middle of the stage and put my head in my hands.
"So you're not going to kill me?"
"What good is that going to do?…." I mumbled.
I heard him get up and sit next to me, but still trying to keep his distance.
"I'm really sorry…."
"Yeah, well sorry is not going to fix this!" I said standing up and pointing at the disheveled backdrop.
"How in the world am I going to fix this?! And WHAT AM I GOING TO TELL MIKO!? HE'S GOING TO KILL ME FOR PUTTING THE BACKDROP UP! AND EVEN IF I STAY ALL NIGHT I'LL NEVER GET THIS DONE!"
"I'll help you!"
Scoffing to myself I said, "Are you serious?! There's no way you can help me! Just get out!"
He had a hurt look on his face and tears of guilt in his eyes. I tried to hold back tears of frustration and fear myself….I worked so hard for this play and now one of our main backdrops is gone! WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FOR THE FIGHTING SCENE!?
"Hey I know! I-"
"NO just go! You have absolutely no idea how important this play is to me! TO ALL OF US! This isn't just a play, it's a way that we show all our hard work and dedication. This is my and my team's passion…j-just go; I have enough problems already…."
Looking away, I heard him run off and heard the two doors in the theatre open and close.
Well he can run fast…..
Sighing I had mixed emotions of rage and sadness….
What am I going to do?!
******line break*******
Taking out a totally new sheet for our backdrop, I started to get out the paint.
"This is hopeless! There's no way I'm going to get this done! Maybe I should call Miko….BUT IF I DO HE'LL KNOW THAT I LIED!...but if I don't he'll still be mad at me when tomorrow comes and he sees a totally different and sucky backdrop!...oh WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!"
"CATI-CHAN!"
Turning around I saw Nagisa running in, dragging someone else behind him.
Cati-chan? When did I say he could call me that?!
"I thought I told you to leave," I said coldly going back to my hopeless work.
"No-no I brought Haru-chan to help you! He's really good at art!"
I looked over to Haru, I gave him a questionable look.
Ok this guy is unreadable…
"Listen I don't have time for this…If I'm going to get this backdrop not even half decent, I'm going to be working all night and all tomorrow. And- wait Haruka?"
That's the guy the art club was talking about (I'm a part time member there). They said his work was amazing!
"And you're willing to help? Why?" I asked seeing that he looked as though he had no interest in the situation.
"Nagisa begged me a million times. He also said he'd work through lunch to get our pool done faster. And well….there's nothing wrong with helping someone."
Sitting there for a moment, I thought this over.
Well I got nothing to lose….and not to mention if I pull this off hopefully Miko won't bite my head off.
"M'kay," I said nodding my head.
"But your still on my list," I said pointing at Nagisa.
He gave out a nervous giggle and looked at the floor.
As Haru and Nagisa sat beside me, I handed Haru the picture Miko and I drew out for our backdrop.
"This is the picture we used for our first backdrop…before it was destroyed by that one. You think you're up for it?"
Haru looked at me and nodded his head.
"Ok then let's get started."
Sighing, I put on a smile because there was some hope!
We had a long night ahead of us.
