Of Actresses and the Rich.

Chapter 3- Perverts and Casting Calls

Mizuki's POV

"No." Kyoya says simply.

"But why not?" I whine.

Souko and I had ran back up to the club room and asked Kyoya if they'd do the play. Thankfully, everyone was still there.

"Because we have club activities to attend to. We can't close the club!" he says.

"What if we advertise it. Hand out flyers to all of the customers from now until next week when rehearsals start. All of the profits from tickets sold to your customers will go to your club." Souko bargained.

Kyoya sighed and said, "Fine."

"Yay! Thank you!" I say, jumping on his back and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Get off of me." he growls.

"But I'm excited!" I say.

I feel hands on my waist. I'm pulled down off of Kyoya before he can kill me.

"Come on Hikaru! Let me go! I can handle him!" I say.

He just wraps his arms around my waist and holds me away from Kyoya.

"So what genre is this play?" Kauru asks.

"Oh, um. Romance." I say awkwardly.

"Great." Kyoya says sarcastically.

"We want to be the love interests!" Hikaru and Kauru say.

"You guys will be cast tomorrow." I say, waving at Souko as he walks out of the room, going back to UAR I bet.

"Can you put it a good word for us?" Kauru says, standing in front of me.

"Please?" Hikaru said, still holding me.

"I have no control over it. It's Souko ya'll should suck up to, not me." I say, grabbing Hikaru's arms and shoving them off of me.

"Aw, Mizukiiii!" he whined.

"Bye!" I yell as I walk out the door, Souko took my skateboard.

He was holding it while I attacked Kyoya.

"Wait up!" the twins yelled.

"Why?" I ask when they catch up.

"Kyoya-senpai told us to." Kauru says simply.

"Ah." I say and link my arms with theirs.

I have the urge to sing the Wizard of Oz song. Weird. We walk to my house.

"Wow, who knew you were this close to us? Interesting." Hikaru says.

"Whatever. Go home. Bye!" I say, shutting the door and going to get something to eat.

I eat dinner, change into my pajama pants and a soccer t-shirt from like years and years ago, and go to bed to think about the first day. Why in hell I had to start school on a Friday I will never know. Whatever. The guys will be over here tomorrow for the casting. They'll probably show up at UAR but Souko will bring them over here for sure. With that thought, I fall asleep.

Mizuki's POV

What is with the damn doorbell? It's only eleven in the morning! No one should even be awake yet! The hosts won't be here for thirty minutes! And Souko has a key! I trip down the stairs and land in front of the door. I reach up and open it to find Hikaru standing in pajama pants and a t-shirt just like me. But his wasn't tighter than hell! God, why do I always pick the worst things to sleep in?

"What?" I ask, yawning and still sitting on the floor where I fell.

"Do you have coffee? Kauru drank the last the maids made and there wasn't anymore in the house." he says, yawning too.

I stand up and walk into the kitchen. I hear him shut the door and follow. I dig through cabinets for a bag of coffee. I finally find one and stand up to go put it in the coffeemaker. I turn to make the coffee and slam into Hikaru. I jump back.

"Whoa! Need to stand so close?" I ask.

"What? Scared of a little physical contact?" he asks, walking towards me.

He places his hands on my hips and lays his head on my shoulder. I can feel his hot breath on my neck.

"Um Hikaru?" I say, weirded out by his touch but secretly loving it.

He starts slowly rubbing his hands back and forth on my hips and he says, "Still scared?"

We hear a noise from the doorway and Hikaru raises his head from my shoulder. I see Souko and the other hosts standing, gaping at us. I feel my face getting extremely red. I shove Hikaru off of me and hold up the coffee bag.

"Just making coffee." I say.

Hikaru yawns again and goes to sit in the living room.

"He said he was coming here for coffee." Kauru says, "Not… whatever that was."

"Nothing! It was nothing!" I say, holding my hands up.

"I think we should go ahead and cast the rolls. Mizu? Make the coffee." Souko says, leading everyone into my living room.

While the coffee is brewing I'm sending Hikaru to hell in my mind. Pervert. Why couldn't I stop him? It makes no sense. I pour the coffee and bring it in on a tray. As soon as I set the tray on the table, Hikaru pick up a cup and drinks from it.

"Ah, be carefu-" I say but am cut off by his scream.

"IT'S FREAKING HOT!" he says.

Only he didn't say freaking.

"God, Hikaru. Scream a little louder why don't you?" Kauru asks.

"Oh… I'm feeling faint." I say in my best southern belle voice, "So… loud…"

I dramatically fake passing out, landing in Kauru's lap. Tamaki goes…

"OH MY GOD, MIZUKI ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" he yells

…crazy. As soon as he finishes talking I burst out laughing and sit back up.

"So who got which parts?" asks Haruhi.

"Well, we had already cast the rolls a while ago but the other actors quit. So, Mizu is already cast as the only female part. Picture this. You are all very rich boys at a nice college and suddenly, a new girl shows up on campus. She's an actress. You all start to compete for her love, with the exception of Kyle and Chris who don't have a huge part in this, and she gets extremely overwhelmed. So you all back off a little and it comes down to two of you. She chooses one and the live happily ever after. Got it? This is an American play so the names are a little weird. Tamaki, you are Andrew. Haruhi, Aaron, and don't worry. I gave you a character that Mizu, Jess, doesn't kiss." Souko says.

"Wait, I have to kiss all of them?" I shout.

"With the exception of Haruhi, Mitskuni, and Takashi. You didn't look over the script?" Souko asks.

"You didn't give me the script!" I say.

"Oh. Well yeah. Anyways, Mitskuni, you are Kyle. Takashi, you are Chris. Kauru, Seth. And finally, Kyoya and Hikaru are the ones who end up fighting over Mizu. Kyoya, you are Justin and Hikaru, you are Julian. Julian ends up winning Jess's heart in the end, though it was unexpected at first." Souko says.

I feel my face heat up as I think about what happened earlier. Not good.

"Well here are the scripts. Highlight your lines and look over them. We'll have a read through on Thursday and then rehearsals start Friday." Souko says.

I hope we get through the kiss scenes fast or else my life is going to turn really awkward.

Yes, you did catch that. Hikaru was half asleep. I don't know about you but I want to meet him when he's like that. Mizu's tight shirt might have helped though…
