Ameek stared at Kairi, beginning to panic. She hated being in the spotlight! "I've got to get out of here!"

Ameek jumped up to bolt, but Kairi stood and jerked her arm, "No! No one's allowed to bail! You'll get suspended."

"Suspended?" Ameek exclaimed. She grabbed Kairi's shoulders, "Kairi! You know I can't do this! I don't care if I get suspended! I don't want to be on the stage ever again."

Kairi smiled encouragingly, "But Ameek, this is your big chance to get out there and show the whole school how cool you really are!"

Ameek groaned, sitting back in the theater chair, "This sucks."

"Don't worry," Kairi pointed at Sora and Riku, "We'll all be right by you."

Ameek's green eyes narrowed. "Lemme guess. You guys got detention on purpose, didn't you?"

Ameek scoffed, "Look who's talking!"

Riku laughed, "Ha, you wish."

"Your face!"

"At least I look good!"

"Yeah, only to your mom!"

"At least I have a mom!"

Ameek shut her mouth, sitting back in the chair."

"Riku, that's not funny." Kairi scolded. "That was uncalled for."

He slammed back against his seat, looking forward, brooding. "Where's the Sensei?"

"Hey everyone!" All of sudden, Sora pops up out of his seat and jumps on the stage. "While we're waiting for our Teacher, let's show what we can do! It'll make us look good when they finally get here!"

Riku sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose in agitation, "Here we go…"
