Chapter two
The lead roles!!
AMU'S POV again.
"I wonder whats going to happen" Kukai whispered.
"I don't know" I whispered back.
We were in the Principal's office. It was a small room with beige walls and a grey carpet that covered the entire floor. There were plastic plants in a couple corners of the room along with big metal file cabinets. Kukai and I were seated in two chairs that were face to face with the principals desk. Thankfully she was not in her desk, nor the room...yet.
Kukai leaned back in his chair with a huge grin on his face. He closed his eyes and shook his head side to side. "What a bad influence you are, getting me in trouble with the school" He said.
I shot a glare at him and raised my voice just a little. "Me?, your the one who made me skip with you in the first place"
He shrugged. "One little detention never hurt anyone, calm down"
I took a deep breath and sank back into my chair. The seconds ticked by until finally the door opened with a click and the principal walked into the room.
The principal was a lady, and a very pretty one at that. She was think, had glasses, long black hair, and a very pretty face. She smiled at us as she walked over to her desk and took a seat. She moved around into her seat until she seemed comfy enough to talk.
"Kukai how nice to see you, but it's not very nice to have to see you under these circumstances" She said politely. Her smile moved from Kukai to me. "Amu Hinamori, I've never seen you here before"
I looked down at me feet ashamed.
"I heard that you two were absent for second period class more than eight times in only one month" Her eye brows were raised when she told us this.
She waited for one of us to speak, but when we said nothing she continued.
"You already know that skipping classes is wrong and you'll never do it again, right?" she paused and continued when we nodded. "I'm going to save us time and just tell you what your punishment is"
We sat silently and waited to receive our predictable detention. But when she spoke the words that came out from her mouth were not the words I expected to hear.
"I'm going to call both your parents of course and you two will to take part in the school's annual play" She said seriously.
Both Kukai and I jumped up from our seats at the same time.
"What?!" We both yelled.
The principal stood from her desk and walked over to the door.
"You heard me, the drama club is meeting this moment, you two will be joining them" She ordered holding the door open for us to leave.
We walked over to the door and walked out of the small room. When we heard the door close behind us we both let out a groan.
"I don't want to miss basketball tryouts for this, they were suppose to be held today" He complained.
"Well I don't do so good in front of crowds" I added.
We walked gloomily down the hallway and up the stairs that were on the right at the end of the hallway. Every step I took I felt nervous, I for sure wasn't a great actor. Too too soon we were at the top of the stairs and were face to face with our punishment.
"Here we go" Kukai mummbled as he reached for the door nob.
When we were inside I was surprised at the amount of people here. There were only three students here and a teacher. There were two boys, one with short black hair and dark eyes, the other had shaggy orangish hair with light brown eyes. The other student was a girl with blond hair and blue eyes, I recognized her, she was the exchange student from America.
"Woa im sure this is the reason why this was our punishment" Kukai said noticing the number of people as well.
"I guess so" I responded.
"You must be Amu and Kukai, have a seat and I'll introduce you to the others" The teacher said once he noticed us.
The teacher was a guy. He looked very young, twenty maybe, and was very handsome. His hair was black, but in the light had a red color to it.
We obeyed the teacher and took a seat in the row of chairs behind the other students. The chairs were in two rows of four and were placed in front of a small stage that the teacher stood on.
The carpets were red and the walls were white with lots of posters on it. The rest of the room was vacant except for piles of boxes and a couple of tables that were spread apart around the room.
"Amu. kukai, these students are Kanon" he pointed to the black haired o. ", and Fumi" he then moved his finger to the orange haired one. ", and the pretty one there is Jane" he finished.
I smiled at each one of them before their heads turned back to the front of the classroom.
All Kukai did was say 'sup.
"Okay lets get started" The teacher ordered.
My mind went blank as I looked around the classroom. I had no intention what so ever to participate in this play. Kukai nudged my arm playfully and I knew he was thinking the same thing I was, dumb play.
I smiled and nudged his arm back. "Do I smell a challenge?" I smirked.
"No, it's probably just the teacher" He laughed.
I laughed a little too loud and had to put my hand over my mouth. When I finished laughing Kukai had his hand held out.
"Are you game for the war of the thumbs?" He chuckled
I took his hand and we started an all out war. His hands were much bigger than mine since he had his growth spurt so it wasn't surprising when his thumb pinned mine in no more than five seconds. We played a few more games until our teacher became fed up.
"Ahem" He coughed.
We looked at him as he walked over to us.
"We decided to do a remake of Romeo and Juliet" he informed.
"And?" Kukai asked. His hand still in mine.
"Oh nothing" The teacher smiled and walked back to the front. The three that sat in front of us were laughing quietly to themselves.
"Just.." He continued. "..That you two are going to be our leads" He smiled.
My jaw dropped open as I turned my head towards Kukai. wasn't Romeo and Juliet suppose to be a romatic play?. Kukai's face was equally horrified.
"Okay lets do a scene, the balcony one"
"um... teacher?" I said.
He turned towards us again. While the others went to up to the small stage to retrieve the script for their characters.
"My name is Mr. Hikiro" He said.
"Mr. Hikiro I don't think I can do this" I explained.
"Yeah same here" Kukai said from beside me.
He ignored us and stood on the stage.
"Just come up here and give it a try" He insisted.
I gulped and walked to teh front with Kukai right beside me.
On stage I got this wierd uncomfortable feeling. I shifted my weight nervously to my other leg as Mr. Hikiro handed Kukai and I our scipts.
"Okay, here's your script, just read them and try your best"
Kukai and I started the rehersals off with the balcony scene, the other students tried their scenes until we did a total of four scenes and came to the proposal scene.
"Juliet, will you marry me?" Kukai was on one knee and had one of my hands in his. I just stood there forgetting I had lines to read.
"Amu" Mr. Hikiro groaned.
"oh, sorry" I apologized and began repeating my lines. "But Romeo we can't"
Our act was stoppped and Mr. Hikiro began directing.
"Okay good now Kukai stand up"
He stood up as we waited for further directions.
"In this scene you hold Juliet and convince her to wed you" The teacher said.
I felt the heat rush to my face instantly.
"What?, but teacher.." I tried to object but was interuptted by him yelling "Action!"
There was a silence then Kukai started to read his lines again. I admitted that he was very good at this acting thing, I wondered if he was enjoung this.
"It'll be okay, you'll see" Kukai said as he held his arms out to me and wrapped them around my neck. My face heated up and became more red than a clowns nose.
Before Kukai sat more Mr. Hikiro called cut.
"This is suppose to be romantic, look at that big gap between you two" he scolded.
He walked over to us and put one of his hands on my back and the other on Kukais. He pushed us together until we were so close our chests were touching. Kukai's legs and stomach were also pushed up against mine.
The teacher then began adjusting Kukai's arms so that his arms were wrapped around my neck area again. I thought he was done but then he moved onto me.
"Okay Amu bring your arms up and hold his back, grab onto the material"
I did as I was told as he moved back to admire his work. When I looked up at Kukai's face he looked umcomfortable too.
"This is...interesting" He whispered.
"Yeah" I said quietly.
"One more thing" The teacher suddenly said.
"Amu, rest your head on his shoulder, and Kukai place your hand on her head like your stroking her hair"
We did as he said, but I started to feel very faint. The last thing I remember was seeing Kukia's worried face.
*******
"Amu, are you okay" Teacher's voice asked.
I opened my eyes and saw five faces staring down at me.
"Is she awake?" Fumi asked.
When my eyes were fully open and I sat up Kukai bursted out in laughter while the others joined him.
"I didn't think it was possible to die of embarrassment" Kanon laughed. I stood up to my feet, the teacher didn't let go of me until I was balanced.
Kukai walked over and placed his arm over my shoulder. "Silly Amu, I know im goodlooking but oh my goodness" He grinned.
"Shut up" I muttered blushing again.
"So obviously this Romeo and Juliet thing isn't going to work out" Mr. hikiro sighed.
We all nodded at the same time and the teacher put his hand to his mouth in thought.
"How about we do a comedy play" He suggested.
My face lit up and both Kukai and I shouted "Hell yeah!" at the same time.
