Act 2:

"Wait, Colin!" I rushed towards him and grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"

His deep amber eyes burned through mine once again and took my hands off his arm and held them.

"I'm heading home, it's getting late."

I sighed, looking at the ground and peeking back to his eyes again. "I'll see you again..right? Soon?"

He nodded and smiled. "Tomorrow."

I smiled back and let go of his hands, watching him walk away-

"Cut!"

My smile turned into a frown and I furrowed my eyebrows. "You know you seriously need a breath mint!" I shouted across the stage.

"Well want to know something unfortunate?" He replied turning around and walking backwards.

"So do you." Li grinned and walked to his backpack.

I went to the side of the stage, grabbed my bag and stomped down the stairs into the empty audience.

"Kimonoto!" I stopped in my tracks and turned around.

"Don't forget, rehearsal druing lunch tomorrow, we only have a week left." The teacher nodded his head to dismiss me and I turned around.

"Yup, rehearsal at lunch, better forget your lunch and starve, little hobo."

...What did he say?

I turned around and faced Li who was still on the stage. "What did you just call me?"

He looked around and pointed at himself. "Oh, you were talking to me? I guess you are just as deaf as your grandma."

He hopped off the large stage and walked towards me. "Let me repeat myself. I said, starve, litttlle hoboo. Did that sound clear now?"

"Wow." I nodded. "You just made it clear how stupidly you treat other people and yourself! Get some respect!" I yelled and continued walking, but a little faster.

"Oh wait, Li! Kimonoto! One more thing!" We both sighed and turned around? "What!" I glanced at Li who was just doing the same thing and brought our attention back to the teacher.

"We won't have much time to rehearse everything in one week, so I will need you both to get together druing lunch or after school as much as you can. You both have many solo parts together, and it will make it easier on us."

"WHAT!" Li and I yelled in unison, again.

"You're kidding me, right?" Li asked."We've been working on this for a whole month!"

"Well you were both selected as the main roles, so you will do your job."

We both stood in silence, finally agreed to it, and walked out of school together.

Well this is going to suck. I cant even stand to be any closer to him than a foot.

"Looks like we got a date." I flushed red and glanced over at Li's face, his eyes were slightly covered by his dark brown hair.

"Date? What do you mean?"

"Relax..its just rehearsal pratice for a while. Besides who would want to date a skinny, pathetic, abnormally colored eyed girl like you?"

"What? You think im skinny, pathetic and ...abnormally colored..eyed? They're just a little brighter than a normal green..." I mumbled.

"Well I wouldn't want to date a guy who can only think of himself and all his 'fan' girls and in desprate need of breath mints!"

"Pft..whatever. I'm off."

We both walked our opposite ways without saying a word. I looked up at the sky, admiring the yellow and orange spread across the endless sky.

I dug my hand into my bag searching for my keys as I reached the driveway of my house. I found the keys, stepped onto the welcome mat and struggled getting the door opened until I finally suceeded.

Not forgetting once again to wipe my feet, I walked inside still smelling the smell of fresh cookies from yesterday. "I'm home..." I moaned and waddled into my room.

I threw myself on the bed and dug my head into the feathery, pink pillow.

This is so annoying. I'm going to have to work with Li...all WEEK.

"Sakura dear! Where are you?" I heard a faint noise, got off my bed and peeked out the door through the hall.

I stepped into the living room to find grandma fighting with a vacume.

"Oh this stubborn thing. It never lets me tell it what to do!"

I giggled and took it from her. "It okay, let me take care of the cleaning."

"My Sakura, you've been doing so much work for me ever since you were little. Don't you get tired? You're an awfuly busy girl."

I smiled and plugged in the vacume. "I don't really mind, besides you need some rest. The doctor said you shouldn't be up and about doing things."

Grandma stared at me and grabbed my hands.

"You know you look so much like your dear mother, you have the same emerald eyes."

I laughed and let go of her fragile hands to turn on the vacume.

"Ah gee, Grandma, you tell me that all the time! It can't be that true."

"It's true, you haven't even seen a picture of her so you don't know the proof."

I stopped the vacume and turned, facing her.

She's right...I've never seen a picture of mother. I don't even know what my family looked like. All the remains were burned in the fire.

My heart started sinking and I pulled the plug.

"Um..let me do this tomorrow. I just want to do my homework and go to bed."

"Thats fine dear. You go-" Grandma coughed a few times and continued. "You go do your homework."

I smiled and walked to my room.

Homework it is.
