~ Ikuto POV ~
I found Amu sitting in the second row from the stage, talking to some of her friends. Right now, Kukai, Nagihiko, Tadase, Kairi, and I were in the school theatre, waiting for the auditions to begin. I heard from Nagihiko who heard from Nadeshiko who was at the argument, that Amu was trying out for the lead role. When I found out that the drama commitee is holding "Snow White" for this year, I thought that maybe I should try out as the male lead. Who knows? If Amu gets the female lead, then it's the perfect chance for me to flirt with her. And if Saaya wins, then at least she's pretty.
I asked the guys if they wanted to walk around the theathre for a bit, just to do 'warm-up laps' before the audition. That was probably the worst excuse I've ever told them just to talk to a girl. Kukai and Nagihiko agreed to walk around with me, but Kairi and Tadase said they were just fine. We walked towards the front of the room. Perfect, i could just 'accidentally' trip and fall on Amu. Perfect time to flirt. When we were about to pass the second row, I 'accidentally tripped' on my own foot and landed on Amu's lap.
" Aaah! Get off me you shrimp!" screamed Amu.
" Did it hurt?" I asked her. She is so cute when she's angry.
" What the help are you talking about?" she answered.
" Did it hurt?" I repeated. I could hear Utau scoff and I could just imagine Rima throwing death glares at me.
" Did what hurt?" Amu said quietly.
" Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" I whispered, giving her a wink. No one can resist my wink. Maybe I should ask her out for five o'clock. She'd be better than Monica, Sandra, and Rita.
" Well, I should ask you. Did it hurt?" Now she's playing my game. I smirked, knowing perfectly well that she's going to compliment me for falling from heaven. Too easy.
" Did what hurt?" I replied quietly, in the same tone she had answered me in before. I gave a her small smirk.
" Did it hurt when you supposedly tripped onto my lap and started flirting? And if it didn't, then I'm pretty sure it will hurt when I kick you in a very unhappy place if you don't get off of me in 3 seconds." She yelled. WOAH. TANTRUM. I soooo did not expect that. It's so spicy~
Wait a minute, What the - ? Did she just reject me? NO ONE REJECTS ME. I heard Kukai and Nagihiko laughing from behind me. Oh, they're gonna get it. I got off her lap and looked at her. She's gonna be a tough catch. Then I stormed away to sit with Tadase and Kairi again.
~ Amu POV ~
I was sitting near the front of the room (the second row to be exact), getting some acting tips from Nadeshiko and Utau, when a boy with midnight blue hair and striking blue eyes tripped over on top of me. Ikuto Tsukiyomi. I've heard a lot about him from Utau, who always tells me never to get involved with him. I dimly remember her telling me before that her brother would always bring girls home, and that they would leave heartbroken. A total playboy.
It was pretty obvious that he fell on purpose. The nerve of this guy. I'm breaking down from a huge bet against Saaya and now he starts drooling on my lap.
" Aaah! Get off me you shrimp!" I screamed at him. I was about to snap, but I needed to keep my nerves down before I freak out during the audition.
" Did it hurt?" I was confused. He 'tripped' and he's asking me if it hurts?
" What the help are you talking about?" I questioned.
" Did it hurt?" he repeated.
" Did what hurt?" I said quietly. Oh, I get it. This pick-up line is soo old.
" Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" he said with a wink. I knew it. How many times have I heard that pick-up line before? Too many times.
I might as well make some fun of him. I won't fall for his act and become just another toy. " Well, I should ask you. Did it hurt?" I said.
" Did what hurt?" he said in the tone I used against him and smirked. He probably thinks I'm going to compliment him on falling from the sky, or something about his looks, but no.
" Did it hurt when you supposedly tripped onto my lap and started flirting? And if it didn't, then I'm pretty sure it will hurt when I kick you in a very unhappy place if you don't get off of me in 3 seconds." His smirk vanished and a small hint of confusion flashed in his eyes for a brief second, until it was replaced by realization. Realization that I was probably the first one to not fall for his acts of love.
I heard Kukai, a guy from my math class, and Nagihiko, a guy who isn't in any of my classes, but I know him because he's Nadeshiko's twin, start laughing. Aaaah. Sweeeeet Viiicctttoorryy.
" Humph." Ikuto marched away to his other friends.
" Nice going Hinamori-san." I heard Kukai say. He was still laughing his head off, and it was pretty contagious. Soon, I started giggling too.
" Yea. I've never seen anyone talk back to Ikuto like that." said Nagihiko. In the corner of my eye, I saw Nadeshiko nod towards her twin. Utau was smirking a smirk that resembled a lot like Ikuto's. I smiled a small smile, a bit unsure of what to do now. All this praise for just talking back to Ikuto?
" ATTENTION STUDENTS! Please take your seats, and we will begin the auditions!" the director for the drama commitee said through a bullhorn.
" See ya sometime Hinamori!" Kukai and Nagihiko said, and they left to join Ikuto who was sitting in the back with some other guys.
