Chapter 3
Meetings
ROSY'S POV. CONT.
The next week we were beginning the set up of the stage early. I had began to make the props from the wood we had with my team, now with Shadow and Tails, this is a great thing about having drama, when it's class time, you get to work on the stage and other cool stuff.. Just then, Amy spoke up.
"Hey, I need some people to come with me to the costume vault." she said.
"There's a costume vault!?" Cymbaline asked.
"Yeah, and it's really cool." I said.
"Cream, Blaze and I will tag along." Cym said.
"Alright, let's go." I said.
We walked a bit, until we finally came to the costume vault. It was a few halls down. I opened the door and turned on the light.
"Wooooaaaahhhh!" the our friends said.
There were costumes and props everywhere. It was amazing.
"Look at all this cool stuff. These costumes are totally chic and these fabrics are gorgeous." Cream said.
"Yeah, this is the only time when I'm jealous of the kids on stage. Unless we get permission to wear some of this stuff, then it's not so bad." I said.
"Don't be jealous, what you guys do is important too!" Cymbaline said.
"I never said it wasn't. I love what we do." I stated.
"Alright, I've got all my fabrics, everyone else have something to carry back?" Amy asked.
We all nodded and gave short replies.
"Okay, let's head back then." she said.
We started up the stairs, goofing around as we made it to the door and opened it. Amy had even put the hat Elphaba wears on my head.
"I can't wait to come back here." Blaze said.
"I know right? It's so-" but I couldn't finish, because I saw Scourge right there while he was walking by. Once he spotted me he stopped.
"Oh, hey Scourge." I said flustered. After that little fall and looking into each others eyes, I couldn't help but want to blush.
"Hey." he said back.
It was really awkward. I kicked the dust on the floor and he looked around and scratched the back of his head.
"Heh, 'Take back your mink, take back your pearls…' heh, right?" I asked.
"Huh?" he asked confused.
"It's from 'Guys and Dolls'." I said.
"Never seen it." he said.
"Oh…" I said, looking down.
"Yeah…well I better go. See ya later sis." he said, waving to Cymbaline.
"Yeah, later bro." she said.
He began walking, when Fiona and Sonic caught up with him and they walked away together. I took off the hat and looked at it sadly.
"Don't worry, Rosy. She's one of the losers. We're the coolest of them all." Cymbaline said.
"Yeah. I know." I said.
We continued walking to class, goofing around the entire way.
AMY'S POV.
As we walked to the auditorium, we noticed a bunch of guys huddled together looking at a poster. It must have been the role assignment sheet. We saw a few look really upset, but then heard a whoop.
"Bro we got the parts!" I looked and saw Sonic. He and Scourge high-fived and congratulated each other.
I kind of figured they would get the parts, they were amazing. We continued to auditorium without stopping this time and placed the props and fabric and costumes in the closets in the back stage.
We began talking, when we heard some one yell.
"Cymbaline!"
We turned and saw Sally heading towards us.
Great, just freaking great.
"Oh, hey Sally." Cymbaline said in a forced way.
"Have you seen Sonic anywhere." she asked impatiently.
I spoke up.
"We just saw him over-" I would've continued, but she cut me off.
"Excuse me, but I was talking to Cymbaline. I wasn't talking to you." she said sneeringly.
"Well we saw him and Scourge, but I can't remember which hall it was. Sorry." Cym said in a fake apologetic tome. She couldn't stand Sally or Fiona either. They were only nice to her because she was Sonic and Scourge's younger sister, even if it was only by a year.
"Well, thanks." Sally said in an annoyed way.
"Sure, want us to pass along any messages?" Cym asked, smugly.
"No, forget it." she said walking off.
After she was gone, we began heading back to the auditorium.
"Sorry for cutting in, Cym." I stated.
"No, it's cool, really." she said smirking.
We finally made it back and began putting them in the auditorium back stage closet.
"Great, job girls, now, we have all the parts sorted out and will be meeting the cast today, they should be coming from their classes now."
Just then, the double doors that led to the auditorium opened and a group and people came in, including all four royals. I looked to the girls and they all had annoyed looks when they saw Fiona and Sally.
"Figures they get the parts." Blaze whispered.
"I told you there was no justice." I said.
Then Mr. S spoke up.
"Okay everyone. Here are the roles. Boq will be played by West for the first act and Greg for the second act, Nessarose by Victoria for the first act and Chloe for the second, and for the entire play Elphaba will be played by Fiona, Glinda by Sally. And during the first act, Sonic will play Fiyero and Scourge for the second act." he began to rattle off the other roles and soon finished.
After a bit more we were able to just chat. After all we would need to get to know each other. Just then Mr. S spoke up again.
"Oh and just to let you know, Amy and her team are in charge of costumes, costume designs and makeup."
Then I spoke up.
"Yeah, so if you guys have any questions about a costume or you need me to tailor it, or you have a design for a new costume, just give it to me or some one on my team and they will give it to me and we will start making it immediately. I will try my best to make it as dazzling as you envision it." I said with a laugh.
I saw Sonic looking at me and I turned to him and we smiled at each other. I cold also see Scourge glancing at Rosy and her looking somewhere else to hide her slightly red face.
"And Rosy, Amy's twin, is on stage set up, design and props." Mr. S stated.
"Yeah, if there's something wrong with the props we have or you need a new prop, just tell me and me and my team can begin working on it." she said.
Just then Cyliss came running in with the posters about the play.
"They look great. You and a few others came put them up." Mr. S said.
Once that was over he turned back to the rest of us and began talking about how, he wanted for us all to get along since we would be working together, and allowed us to talk again. As soon as he did, a bunch of people came up to Amy and began asking her about their costumes.
"If you want me to try and make a costume for your part, because the older one probably wont fit or something like that, just draw me a picture of it or write out how you want it to look and I will get right to it." I said nicely.
Soon, the bell rang for us to get to our next class. For us it was Chemistry. Rosy, Cymbaline and I had that class with Sally unfortunately. We headed to class and took our seats. At least today she was so focused on bragging about getting the part in the musical, that she didn't have time to bother us.
After class ended, our teacher asked me to stay.
"Amy, you are an excellent student in this class and have one of the highest grades. Very remarkable." my teacher, Mrs. Shirley said.
"Thank you ma'am." I said.
"And so polite. I wish there were more students like you." she said sighing, as if she knew, and she probably did, that a lot of kids wouldn't pass this class.
"Thank you ma'am." I said again.
"Now, back to why I called you to stay, which you are probably wondering about, right?"
"Yes I am." I said truthfully.
"Well, I would like for you to tutor a student in this class with you, who is currently failing."
"Sure of course, who is it?" I asked.
She looked a bit uneasy, then took a breath and spoke.
"It's Sally Acorn."
You could queue the sound of a record abruptly stopping right then, because my whole world stopped. This couldn't be happening. First the musical now this.
"I'm very sorry Amy, but if you could please do this…" she said.
"Yeah, it's fine I will. Does she already know?" I asked.
"Yes, she will be looking for you during lunch."
"Okay, I'll do my best."
"Thank you Amy." she said.
She wrote me a pass and I headed to class. The others noticed that I was in an upset mood, but didn't say anything until lunch. Once we were all at our table. I began explaining.
"Bummer. You have to tutor Sally." Rosy said, taking a bite of her pizza.
"I know. And Sally already knows too. Mrs. Shirley said she would be looking for me during lunch so I can start tutoring her and make plan on when I can tutor her." I said.
"Uh-oh, girlfriend, four-one-one. Royals headed this way!" Cream, whispered.
The four of them came over and sat down. The boys began to talk with the others.
"So, you have to tutor me? They couldn't have found someone better?" Sally asked.
"Well, she picked Amy because she's the best in the class, and obviously passing." Rosy said, earning a glare.
"Whatever." she said, going back to her phone.
I glanced at Sonic to see he had pulled put his own homework and was having some trouble. I moved over by him and spoke.
"May I?" I asked.
He looked at me and shrugged.
I looked it over and he spoke up.
"I couldn't even figure it out, so-" I cut him off with an answer.
"You need to substitute the X value for what it equals. Like this." I said, doing the problem and finishing in a minute.
He looked at me amazed and I began to explain. After five minutes I finished.
"Do you get it now?" I asked.
"Yeah. You made it easy thanks." he said. I hid my blush.
"Do you think you can tutor me in Calculus? I really need the help." he said.
"Sure. When and where.?" I asked.
"Well how about the library before and after school? Or maybe during lunch?"
"Sure and if you want to meet up at the library, just send me a text. We can set tutoring days for Monday, Fridays and Saturdays. May I?" I asked, motioning to his phone.
I quickly put my number in and handed it back to him.
"Cool thanks. That's perfect." he said, I then gave him mine and he put his number in.
"So, when exactly would you be tutoring me like your supposed to?" Sally asked with a sneer.
"How about on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays?" I asked in a forced tone.
"Sure, whatever. Come on guys." she said to the other three.
But before they left, she snatched my phone and put her own number in. then threw it back to me, luckily I caught it. Of course only my friends saw, but still I wasn't about to let that get me down.
"See ya guys. And thanks Amy." Sonic said, smiling at me.
I blushed lightly as he left.
Once they were out of ear shot. I began squealing and the others congratulated me.
"Way to go sis!" Rosy said.
Even if I still had to tutor Sally, I would get to tutor Sonic as well and now I had his number! I knew that Sally was hating every moment of that. And how I would get to tutor Sonic and she wouldn't be there either.
Rose 2. Royals 0.
Just then I got a text and it was from Sonic.
"How about we meet up before and after school and during lunch, and on Saturdays we can meet up at Emerald Café from 12 to 3?"
"Sounds good to me. Se ya then."
