"THE TWO HOURS TRAFFIC OF OUR STAGE"
The doors at the end of the cafeteria slammed opened. The empty shell room bounded the sound like a basketball all over the walls. Two girls emerged from the outside giddy and happy. The shorter girl by one or two inches swung her arms up in a girly fashion. Her hair was white blonde and it swayed pin straight just at her shoulders. Her eyes were a sparkling cat green. Her nose was slightly pudged but perky and sweet, her smile white and alluring.
It seemed like she had already been Juliet even before she was cast as her. The girl was always atop the clouds dreaming and loving. Very sweet caring and passionate towards acting and singing, the two things she loved most right before basketball.
Beside her was her dark haired friend. The other girl was built for sports. Thick thighs and a tough stomach. Her hair was dark chocolate in its usual curly bun. Her eyes wide and budged, in a matching brown. She had a slightly naturally tanned skinned and her body movements were fast and agile. Though a sweet, giddy, tough and clever girl she had been honoured to star as benvolio in the upcoming play.
The two friends set their bags down on the tables as chattered about mundane talk. That's when a hyper little Japanese girl rushed inside from the opposite end of the girls. The small girl ran inside with a rack full of clothing and frantically began loading boxes inside with three random extras no one really talked to.
"girls! Girls? BEA AND ROSA COME OVER HERE A MINUTE?" the petit asian screeched as she handed a mass amount of blue and red clothing
the blonde girl responded to the name bea and glided softly towards the costume girl. The other girl, rosa, hoped over the stage and down to get there faster.
"put these on! Remember, blue is Montague red is Capulet" she rushed and shoved clothes in their hands.
"oh harmony I love it!" bea screeched as she gripped the material of her satin scarlet dress. She placed it atop of her and began dancing to a tune in her head
"benvolio looks hot!" rosa giggled as she put on the big blue hoodie on herself. Though it was odd so many girls were playing leading male roles it almost seem to fit their personality.
At that second, a darker girl came walking through the stage door caring a bulky bag she quickly set down on the floor, her smile was so wide and inviting everyone was sucked in immediately
"Raven over here I got you the most excellent nuns costume." Harmony gushed and handed the dread haired girl the black fabric. Raven or sister lawrence eyed the costume and giggled softly at it
over to the other side of the girls came in a couple of unknown extras and two other girls.
" hi liza hi nikki" bea called the two girls over.
The taller lanky one, Liza, was strange looking, perhaps not attractive but defninatly exotic. She had a bun of unruly curly blunt brown hair. fair skin, big brown eyes and a braced face. Her figure was slightly rectangular and a bit boyish. But she was absolutely hilarious, uncaring and hot headed, much like her character Lord Capulet.
Her shorter best friend was a pretty little dancer girl, petit skinny with long dark mahogany hair, and big black eyes. High cheek bones and a wide smile. she was always a little off and hyperactive , charming and sweet she respected the role of Paris really well.
The two friends dropped their bags and extra purses on the tables and ran towards their friends.
"and for the lovely paris a nice pair of ripped jeans and a blazer" harmony sang and dropped the clothes on nikkis tiny arms. Liza crossed her arms and pouted
" why doesn't capulet have a cool costume?" she whined
" because youre an old hag" rosa mocked and stuck out her tongue play fully, liza laughed.
"HARMONY I BROUGHT SOME CLOTHES!" a girl of large proportions shouted as she entered the cafeteria. Her body though immense swayed gracefully, and her face symmetry though thick was pure, and angled. Her skin a shade darker than ivory her hair like copper and eyes of chocolate. A loud, enthusiastic girl, with a big heart and s funny way of saying things, she fit her role as nurse almost too perfect.
"oh ally, youre a life saver" harmony breathed out, and grabbed the pink bag from ally's hand.
a girl rushed in from the stage doors, her gold hair a mess her green eyes darting, her face red and hot as she scoped the room out.
"youre not late jordin" nikki giggled to her frantic friend, who let out a dramatic relived sigh. Though the hyperactive, easily distracted jumpy blonde was only the simple role of Sampson, and a small role at that, she played a big part in everyone's hearts.
"Mary, I have to speak to you" ally called Mary over who had just happened to saunter in. her wavy chestnut hair was flowing and elegant as her, her pinched nose was high in the air and her thin brown eyes patronizing. She wore a simple thin smile as usual and kept an aloof and almost superior status to everyone else. Just like her character Lady Capulet.
The moment ally and Mary met up on the thrust of the stage, two boys crowded inside. The taller, well built boy carried with him a wide optimistic smile. His eyes were large and a dark caramel. His hair dark, and curly around his ivory face, his nose elongated but suitable for his features.
"sam!" called bea
sam , it seemed was far from his role as Romeo, very LOUD, hilarious, sarcastic annoying and a total goof ball, except that he was absolutely in love with his co star bea….
Sam dropped his belongings patted his friend on the back and hopped towards his co star. His friend stayed walking teasingly around the tables. He was good looking and very well knew it. Dark hair, dark eyes, tanned skin and a impeccable white smile. His thin and muscled structure visible from his t-shirt. Mocking, sarcastic, sadistic, cruel and absolutely hilarious to the very last word he has absolutely incarnated Mercutio himself.
"Manny!" sam called his dark haired friend over towards Mary and Bea who talked up a days worth of gossip.
"ITS HOT TODAY!" a petit black haired girl shouted as she slammed the door behind her. beside the tiny dancer (a/n: inside joke) was her taller naturally dark haired friend.
Everyone turned around to see them
"alice.." manny grumbled under his breath with a wide grin
Alice, had dyed black blue hair that was usually adorned with bright coloured bows, clips or head bands. Today she wore a bright pink bow. Her features were small but cute none the less. Bright, cream green eyes outlined with black liner and metallic green eye shadow. Puffy unshaped lips she outlined with frosty pinks and reds, her skin was the palest of them all which she blamed on the "vampires". Alice was the usual attention whore, always scoping the public eye, acting even when unnecessary, funny charming and extremely vain. A bit too proud but lovable none the less. It seemed that she hadn't been cast as Tybalt; it was as if Tybalt had been made for her.
Beside her walked her taller and muscular friend.
"Marissa, I need all of youre make up by tomorrow" harmony directed towards her
Marissa had her dark brown hair pin straight underlined with bright pink extensions. Her big brown eyes caked with pink and gold make up, her one dimple sticking out as she laughed. Marissa played servants roles she had not asked to take on, and had pronounced herself a make-up artist. Though she cared less for the play she enjoyed her self too much to complain. The girl was extremely entrancing and charming; she was manipulative, cocky and unique. She got what she wanted and fought otherwise. Her and her friend Alice were surrounded by people who admired their hair, style attitude life and many friends who hung all around them, even if they changed plans and friends almost weekly the two were an unstoppable duo.
"Tybalt is here, sexyfy me" Alice asked to no one in particular and got an eraser to her head thrown by sam.
Alice stuck out her tongue childishly.
"you want beef?" sam asked amused
"im a vegetarian and im NOT scared of you" alice cackled
"3OH!3!" Marissa shouted
"point for Marissa" alice high fived her friend and proceeded to the costume table.
Harmony was scarfing through mounds of bags, bea was modeling her dress to a drooling sam, Mary was pretending to ball room dance with manny, Rosa was admiring her "manliness" in the full length mirror, nikki jordin and liza (who wore a white suit and top hat) were playing with the toy guns all in their man costumes, ally dressed in a low cut shirt and raven were discussing make up, Marissa (still in her uniform) was texting and alice, who was dressed in black skinny jeans ( harmony had approved for Tybalt) silver and metallic red Nike high tops a blood red comic tee and a slick black leather jacket had jumped atop the tables
"hey HEY!" she shouted until the room got quite
"were are the directors? And where's mister wutt?" alice asked a little bit softer..
everyone began looking around and their eyes landed on the usual table were the directors sat it.
"strange. They're late…" jordin scrunched up her nose. The cafeteria was quite
"I guess we cant start without them" Marissa play pouted and began texting again.
"what? But im pumped!" alice whined
manny approached her table and helped a grumpy alice get down.
" so we just wait?" Marissa asked and slipped her phone onto her back pocket
"I guess" manny scratched his head and adjusted his white tie
at the instant the extras decided to leave to go across the street and get pizza. No one really cared and kept contemplating on either leaving, staying or calling the office for the teacher.
"uh nikki?" a voice entered from the side door.
Everyone's worried eyes found a short brown haired girl, who worriedly looked around the café.
"yeah?" nikki stretched her head out to see her friend
"hey dan" nikki finally greeted after seeing her.
"hey nik, I just dropped by to return this to you" dan held out a gold ,red and blue book outwards
nikki knit her eyebrows in confusion, walked towards her friend and took the book from her hands. The book was large, old and very heavy.
"what is this?" nikki whispered
"you mean its not yours?" dan asked nikki shook her head
"well I found it after chemistry, and it's a Romeo and Juliet book, thought it belonged to you guys because its not the drama teachers." Dan explained said her goodbyes and ran off
nikki stared at the book with a perplexed look.
"lemme see?" alice grabbed the book from nikki and ran her lime green nails on it.
jordin, Marissa, sam, manny and everyone else approached alice
"what is it?" they all asked in soft murmur
"open it" Marissa suggested and alice did so.
The first page of the book, the words Romeo and Juliet were in bold, Alice turned the page and saw a list of the characters and on the third page was a personal note. Everyone saw it and gasped
On red and blue ink the following note was inscribed
Dear cast of Romeo &Juliet
Youre all so wonderful, so full of life, this book is for youre hard work and the incredible knowledge you have gained on youre play. this book will teach more than you'll ever imagine.
You'll do fantastic
Brava to my dearest Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, Tybalt, Benvolio, nurse, lord and lady Capulet, Paris, sister Lawrence, Sampson and Gregory…
With love, youre biggest fan.
The whole cast was grew quiet with tension as they read the letter.
"that's a bit creepy" alice shuddered
"whos are biggest fan?" marissa asked
"a stalker?" liza grumbled
"damn, this is creepy, maybe it's a bomb" manny suggested
"this is so weird" mary shook her head
"why the hell did dan find this?" nikki let out a nervous giggle
" we shouldn't touch it, it could have a bomb" sam whispered
"I already said that" manny argued
"it can have herpes" sam corrected himself
everyone was too confused to laugh
"harmony do you—" bea was about to ask when she noticed harmony was gone.
"strange" rosa cracked
"so what do we do with it?" raven questioned
"open it up!" jordin exclaimed
alice took a deep dramatic breath, took the tips of her fingers to grab the page, looked around to everyone's faces, gulped and turned her wrist while moving the page.
A strong white light emerged from the page and winds of rapid force flew out.
"oh shit" someone muttered but it didn't matter
they weren't in Kansas anymore.
