"When life gives you lemons make lemonade, pour it in a water gun, and squirt it in a foe's eye!"~Takeshi
As usual the girls ran into their homeroom just in the nick of time. After sighing with relief when the bell rang, they took their usual seats in the back with their friends as homeroom began.
"Momoko-chan! Try-outs are right after school okay?" Miyako told the red-head and she nodded with a smile.
"Try-outs for what?" Raiden asked
"Today is try-outs for extracurricular activities" Kimiko answered with sparkly eyes.
"And I talked to Momoko-chan into trying out for cheer-leading"
"Eh?" the boys in the back said turning to Momoko.
"Yeah! I figured it would be fun!" Momoko replied with a smile.
"I think its a great idea" Yuichi said smirking
"Me to!" Takeshi said "Kaoru you should try out for cheer-leading as well!"
The entire homeroom laughed at the thought.
"Not even if pigs flew" Kaoru said crossing her arms "Besides I have try-outs for soccer"
'Soccer,huh?' Takeshi thought to himself.
"What about you?" Satoshi asked his mate.
"I have Drama and Dance try-outs!" she responded cheerfully
"I'm looking forward to seeing that Satoshi said putting his hands behind his head.
"Rai-kun will you come watch me too?" Miyako asked
"Of course" Raiden said smiling at her. Little did they know that the other boys in the homeroom made a mental note to watch the blonde beauty try out as well.
"We should try out for something too" Zoku said
"You think so?" Yuichi asked interesting in the thought and his cousin shrugged.
"We might as well since we're here" the teal-eyed young man said.
"There's plenty of sports for you guys to try out for" Nar said from his desk.
"What good advice from Nar-sensei" a girl said with hearts for eyes.
"Definitely the best teacher in our school!" a girl in the third row responded blushing.
"Damn fan girls..."Kaoru muttered under her breath.
"Are you gonna try out for something?" Raiden asked Electron
"Yup! The music teacher said I would be perfect for the school band"
"I agree with Sanjimoto-sensei" Yuichi said with a nod
"Electron plays the baritone sax" Zoku told the girls and Satoshi "It livens up the class"
"We have to watch you try-out then!" Miyako said smiling
"Ah~! Must be good jazz then!" Kimiko said thinking about jazz tunes she's heard of.
"Gotta love jazz" Momoko said resting her cheek on her palm.
"Its a beautiful thing really" Nar commented once more.
"Ah~! Nar-sensei likes jazz!" Another girl said from her seat.
"We learn something new everyday~!"
Kaoru has told these fangirls that Nar was married all last week and though they were disappointed they still swoon over him saying that they couldn't help themselves. Momoko,being boy-crazy until she became Yuichi's mate, told her it's simply because Nar is a handsome man,which he is. He is tall, dark-he is the Shadow Lord after all-and good-looking. Plus there was just something about him that his fangirls noticed and admire. While the red-head and tomboy were discussing this Nar himself came behind them and thanked them both for the compliment,but also noted not to make their boyfriends jealous. They both blushed as a response.
Kaoru shook her head at the memory. She hated being caught out of character.
"Well I might as well sleep before-"
RING RING
"Dammit" the tomboy cursed before grabbing her backpack.
"Better luck tomorrow Kaoru" Nar said as she passed him.
"Thanks" Kaoru replied not even bothering to make a remark about the smirk on his face and instead headed to Spanish.
1st Period:French III
Momoko's P.O.V
I choose French class because one day I want to go to Paris, the City of Love, and be able to communicate with people. Plus I will be eating delicious French desserts while I'm there and its important I know how to order the right thing.
Our French teacher is Kyo-sensei. He spent the first ten years of his life in Nice,France before he came to live Japan. He lost his French accent over the years but is still fluent in French. He's a good teacher although sometimes he steps into French mode and we can only understand one or two things he's saying. One time he said a whole paragraph's worth of French words and we all had question marks over our heads.
"Bonjour class"
"Bonjour Kyo-sensei" we responded in unison.
To begin class he will give us an oral task. On the first day he said to describe our summer in one word. Each day is something different.
"Today your task is to greet the person on your left and right. Go!"
Soon I heard people say "Bonjour or Salut"(A/N:Both are "hi" in French) to each other. Then I flet a war hand on mine.
"Salut Pinky" Yuichi said before kissing my hand. I blushed at his actions, which is what he was looking for.
"Salut Yui-kun" I said to him with a smile then I turned to my left to see Kimiko greeting Satoshi-chan.
"Bonjour Sato-kun" Kimiko said kissing his hand. I laughed and covered my mouth in case I was getting too loud.
"Kimiko....I'm supposed to kiss your hand" Satoshi said chuckling,himself.
"Oh..." Kimiko said and allowed Satoshi to hold her hand.
"Salut Kimiko-chan" Satoshi said kissing her hand which made her giggle and then she turned to me.
"You may also do la bise if its suitable to you" Kyo said.
"We can?" Yui-kun asked.
"Yes but you did your greeting already. No do overs" Yuichi and Satoshi grunted and I giggled.
"Well in that case..." I heard Kimiko say before taking my shoulder's.
"Mwah,mwah" she said mimicking Pepe' la Pew as she kissed both my cheeks and I greeted her with a la bise as well. (A/N:Any other Looney Tune Lovers besides me?)
"Kimiko extra credit for a Pepe la Pew impersonation." Kyo-sensei said.
"Yay!"
"Does he always give out extra credit like that?" Yui-kun asked me
"Usually when he's impressed or amused" I answered.
"I'll keep that in mind" I heard Satoshi say. The four of us turned around to see Electron-chan greeting a female classmate. Her name is Emi, she's in my AP History class.
"Bonjour mademoiselle" Electron-chan said in a suave French accent as he placed a chaste kiss on Emi's hand. I blushed at his suave accent and I looked at Kimiko to see she was too.
"Magnifique!" Kyo-sensei said impressed. "Extra credit for the accent!"
"Merci" Electron said with a grin.
"Him too!?" Yuichi and Satoshi said in unison.
"Oui,oui" Electron said to them.
"Is everyone done?"
"Hai sensei!"
"Come again?"
We sighed in unison.
"Oui professeur!"
"Better" Kyo-sensei said in satisfaction.
3rd Period:Health
Tsuki's P.O.V
I took my usual seat between Ayumi and Hikari in Health class. Sadly, Aoki-kun has Health 1st period instead of 3rd so I'm stuck with his evil twin. Rin was on the opposite side of Ayumi...sleeping. I noticed that Rin sleeps in some of classes, like Kaoru, and usually Ayumi or I have to wake him up.
"Are either of you trying out for anything?" Ayumi asked.
"I'm going to be a cheerleader like Miyako-chan" Hikari said smiling.
Hikari and I hated each other since we met but if there's one thing admirable about her it would be her confidence. She was always confident in everything she did and doesn't let it go into her head like Takeshi-nii does sometimes. I could never be a cheerleader or even tryout with all those people watching me. Plus Miyako told me how short the skirts are. My Onii-chans would never allow it plus I would blush too much in something like that anyway. I blushed for real when I realized Aoki-kun might like to see me doing a routine in a cheerleader uniform, but I quickly pushed the thought away. I don't like having a dirty mind.
"I'm going to tryout for cheerleading too!" Ayumi said and seemed pretty excited about it too and I smiled at her. Rin was asleep so he didn't hear what Ayumi said,but he'll find out soon enough.
"Great!" Hikari said "Aoki-nii told me he is going to play a sport"
"R-really?" I asked her
"Yep. You shouldn't be surprised though he did sports at our old school."
"Oh yeah..." I said remembering. Sports in our old school is Spears, which is similar to fencing but you use spears to try and stab someone's chest. Combatball, which is like football but the ball has iron spikes and you have to knock people out of the field with the weapon of your choice to get the ball alone. There is also Gillo-kick which is like soccer but the ball weighs a ton and the goals are guillotines.
"What sport is Aoki-chan doing?" Ayumi asked.
"Um. Knowing him either football or basketball" Hikari answered "I hope Zoku-kun does a sport he'll look great in a uniform" Hikari was smiling at the thought and Ayumi giggled at her.
I started to think about what Aoki-kun would look like in a basketball uniform. His muscular arms would be exposed... but what if he did football? I can imagine him with his helmet, the jersey... the padding.
"Eeeep!" I shrieked before banging my forehead with my hand repeatedly. I'm not supposed to be thinking this way! I'm a good girl! Stupid female vampire hormones! I was so busy hitting my own forehead I barely noticed Rin waking up.
"What's up with Tsuki-chan?" I heard him say when I finally stopped with an exhale. My brother's dirty minds might be rubbing off on me.
"No clue" Hikari said.
"What were you thinking that made you blush so much and hit your forehead?" Ayumi asked me. I felt my cheeks get warmer.
"N-nothing..." I said and I noticed Hikari was staring at me. My eyes focused on the table so I wouldn't have to look at her golden gaze. My hands were starting to get sweaty from the nervousness.
"...You freak!" Hikari said after a pause and she was smiling. Luckily the students in the classroom didn't hear her or I would've fainted with embarrassment.
"Na-nani!?" I shouted but not too loud so that other classmates won't turn to look at me.
"Luna was having dirty thought about futago" Hikari said with a casual smirk while Ayumi and Rin laughed a little.
"W-was not!"
"Oh please" Hikari said "You're a 'you know what' and you were going to start thinking that way sooner or later. You too Ayumi"
Ayumi stopped laughing.
"Sweet" Rin said and Ayumi hit him.
"But thinking that way is your thing!" I said,which was true. Hikari has her thoughts about Zoku-chan sometimes and she isn't ashamed of it either. That could be another admirable thing about her... if she didn't take it to extremes sometimes.
"I know" Hikari said "But soon you'll be just like me"
No way can I have dirty thoughts like Hikari! I don't have it in me and I would faint even more than I usually do. But just the thought of it made want to scream 'NOOOOOOOOO!' in a tragic fashion. The bell rang and Izumi-sensei walked into the room. I looked around and noticed that the classroom was full. I could've sworn it was just us four a few minutes ago.
"Hello class"
"Hi Izumi-sensei" we chorused.
"Now today we will be talking about drugs"
"WHOO-HOO!" the majority of the class cheered including Hikari and Rin. I gave Hikari an 'Are you nuts!?' look and Ayumi hit Rin and called him a baka.
"I said talking not doing!" Izumi-sensei said shocked at how many of her students cheered at the thought of drugs.
"Awwwwww..." the same people moaned in disappoint and I sweat dropped then looked at Izumi-sensei's face. I knew they were joking but Izumi couldn't tell which is what made it funny. (A/N:Don't do drugs guys XD)
Before Lunch
Normal P.O.V
"This is so exciting" Miyako said.
Right now the group was busy writing their names down or at least trying to due to the huge crowd of other students scribbling their names down or least trying to due to the huge crowd of other students scribbling their names down on various sheets. It was like this every year around sign up up time.
"I told we should have came here earlier!" Momoko said to Takeshi.
"How was I supposed to know there would be a crowd?!"
"Forget about whose fault it is" Raiden said.
"We need to get our names on those lists" Hikari added.
"Catapult" Kimiko said and Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru nodded.
"I'll do it" Kaoru said taking off her shoes.
"Catapult?" Electron asked.
"Watch" Miyako said giggling.
The catapult is something Kaoru came up with. Since there is a crowd for sign-ups every year, she figured that launching someone to the front would work. She would just shove everyone out of the way but she got in trouble with the principle after complaints about sprained arms.
"Cup your hands" Kaoru said to Yuichi and Raiden and after they exchanged looks the two brothers did as they were told. Kaoru put on her feet on the cupped hands and now had a higher view of the sign-up sheets.
"K-chan do you have visual of the sign-up sheets?" Momoko asked the tomboy.
"Yeah. Alright guys time to launch"
"Wait, what!? No!" Takeshi exclaimed but Yuichi ad Raiden already launched Kaoru and all they can do now was watch.
"Get out the waaaaaaaaay" Kaoru yelled at the crowd while airborne and the students quickly did so that they wouldn't be body slammed. The tomboy landed on her two feet and began to write her name down for soccer.
"Alright I see half of your names down so beat it my friends gotta sign up two you know!"
The crowd shrugged,since they already put their names down, ad left to go to their respective classes. The others finally stepped up to sign-up as well.
Miyako, Momoko, Hikari, and Ayumi signed up for cheerleading. Kimiko signed up for the dance team and drama club. Raiden and Zoku decided to try out for the basketball team while Satoshi,Aoki, and Yuichi tried out for football. Then Electron signed up for the school band.
"Everyone done?" Takeshi asked and they nodded.
"Let's go eat I heard they have corn dogs today!" Electron said and they nodded with agreement. However two guys lingered for a second before heading to the cafeteria. Takeshi was going to surprise Kaoru by joining soccer and when he was done Electron made sure he wasn't noticed. Apart from band, the afro-haired student was going to surprise both Greens by signing up for soccer as well. He couldn't wait to see their faces.
After School:Football Try-Outs
Yuichi's P.O.V
I never planned on joining the football team but while I'm in N.T.A I might as well do something. Aoki and Satoshi are next to me as we're waiting for our names to be called. The football team has a fairly large amount of players. They are least 32 guys on the team right now. Some are short but run really fast, other are large and can probably tackle a bear. The others were on the bleachers watching. For football try outs it was in groups of three. You had to tackle dummies, throw the football as far as you can, catch it and take turns kicking the ball in the field goal.
"Red" I heard Satoshi say to me. He's been calling me Red for as long as I can remember. The nickname was suitable so I didn't mind.
"Yeah?"
He nodded his head towards a certain direction. They were three guys doing the drills for try-outs. I recognize them from some of my classes.
The first guy had short shaggy white hair, dark white eyes, a black sweat band, and had pale skin. His name is Mamoru Sono. Right now he was tackling dummies non-stop and I was impressed. I followed Aoki's gaze to see a guy with short pink hair, dark yellow eyes, and pale skin.
"His name is Akihiro right?" Aoki asked and I nodded. Akihiro threw to football really well and the distance was good too. I glanced over at my future coach and he seemed impressed by how many yards he was able to throw.
"Oi,there's Hideki" Satoshi said watching him kick the football in the field goal. Hideki has short blonde hair, dark gray eyes, and pale skin. Mamoru, Akihiro and Hideki are all brothers. Even though they don't look exactly alike,but you can tell by looking at them,like my brothers and I.
"Good job you three" the football coach said and they went to drink some water.
"You three are next" the coach said to us.
"Yosh!" Satoshi said enthusiastically. Sports is a good way for Satoshi to let out his manic side but since he is around mortals he needs to dial it back.
"Satoshi Kakihara"
"Yeah?"
"Tackle as much dummies as you can before I say stop"
My brunette brother nodded.
"Go"
Satoshi tackled dummy, after dummy, after dummy. Most didn't realize it but I can see some trace of a crazed smile on his face. He is having the time of his life. Otto-san told me that Satoshi can tackle before he could walk. I looked over at the coach to see he was staring at Satoshi as of he has three heads.
"O-Okay... th-that's enough"
Satoshi exhaled as he got of the last dummy. He successfully tackled ten dummies and he could've done way better but that would have rose suspicion.
"Yay Sato-kun!" I heard Bunny-girl cheer and he waved at her. I sensed a football coming my way and I caught it with ease.
"Nice reflexes" the Coach said to me, then turned to Aoki.
"Go long"
With that Aoki ran down the field fast, but not too fast.
"Alright you can stop now!" the coach yelled and Aoki did so.
"Throw the ball to him"
I hurled the ball to Aoki and to my surprise it was a perfect spiral. I never played normal sports. In Vlad Night School I played Spears and Combatball. The only normal sport I played was rugby and otto-san taught us how. Aoki ran and caught the ball easily and at an impressive speed as well. Then he kicked the ball into the field goal and made it.
"Yay futago!" I heard Hikari cheer.
"Sugoi Aoki-kun!" My imoto(little sister) cheered afterwards.
"GO AOKI-NII!"
"YOU'RE DOING GREAT AOKI-KUN!"
"WHOO!"
"WHOOO!"
"YEAAAH!"
"WHOOOOOOOOOOO!"
What was supposed to be cheering for Aoki is now a competition to see who cheers the loudest between Tsuki and Hikari. Those two can make anything a competition.
"WHOOO-"
"KEEP IT DOWN!" the coach yelled.
"Gomen"
Those around them laughed and Suki-san turned away embarrassed while Hikari kept quiet and continued to watch. I chuckled as the coach continued to write things on his clipboard.
"Thank you all for trying out. Next week I'll post the results"
I fist-pounded Aoki and Satoshi as they came up to me and the three of us went to the bleachers to meet up with the others.
"You look like you were having fun Satoshi" Electron said with a grin.
"Tackling is fun!" he replied.
"Which try-out is next?" I asked
"Basketball" my blonde brother answered me.
"Let's book it!" Kimiko cheered and the we left football field and went inside the gymnasium.
Raiden's P.O.V
After Zoku and I did underarm and overarm layups we waited on a line. It seemed simple enough all we had to do is make three different shots. One from half-court, another from anywhere we want, and the last a slam dunk. Kaoru told me that its possible to miss a shot and still make the team so I felt better. I asked Rin if he was going to try out for a sport but then he reminded me how hard it would be to hide his tail in the locker room.
"Kinzoku Nelia"
"Wish me luck" Zoku said patting my back and I nodded. I've called Zoku... Zoku since we met him and Ayumi. I often forget that its only his nickname and not his full first name.
"Alright let's see what you got"
Zoku caught the ball that a coach bounced at him. He dribbled the ball as he headed for the half-court line and focused. Then after one last dribble he made a shot and it went in with a swishing sound. Then for his free-style shot he went to the side of the hoop and made another shot and it went in as well. I looked at the coach to see him nodding as Zoku caught the ball again and dribbled back. It was time for his slam dunk.
My cousin dribbled down the court,jumped in the air, spun counter-clock wise and...
Swish
He made it!
"Alright cuz!" I cheered.
"Go Zoku-nii!" Ayumi said cheering on her older brother.
"Yay Zoku-kun!" Hikari said louder than anyone else and clapped happily.
"Good shot!" A random girl said directly after her and I looked at my cousin,his expression matched mine.
"Uh-oh..." we said in unison.
"No no no no no no" Hikari said to the girl while wagging her pointer finger "You don't get to cheer for him! Got it!?"
The girl's eyes widened and she moved to the other side of the gym.
"Yeah keep walking!" Hikari yelled which made the girl walk faster. Zoku and I sweat dropped in unison.
"Calm down Hikari" I heard Aoki say and she did.
"Raiden Kakihara" I turned at my name and caught the ball that bounced at me.
"Show me what you got" the coach said to me and I nodded.
I went to the half-court line and dribbled the ball. I was told that if you focus on the square on the backboard you'll be able to make the shot,so I did. After I felt confident I made my shot. The ball hit the square then went in the hoop.
"Yay!" I heard Miyako say which made me smile.
"Two more to go" Zoku said as I caught another basketball. For my freestyle shot I'm going to shoot from the three point line. I dribbled the ball there and focused. I shot the ball with one hand it rolled around the rim and dropped in the basket. A perfect finger roll.
"Ya- wait is that good?" I heard Miyako ask and I chuckled.
"Yes Miya" Kaoru answered.
"Then yay!"
Alright the last one was the slam dunk. I knew exactly what to do. After I retrieved my ball I start to sprint down the court while dribbling and then I jumped up. I didn't do a spin like my cousin did. Instead, I moved straight ahead then I slammed the ball in the hoop while I grabbed on the rim.
"Awesome!" the boys aid.
"Sugoi!" I heard Miyako say.
"Very nice" the coach said nodding approvingly. "You can get down now Raiden"
Oops...
"Down?"
"Yeah your shot is over. You can come down."
"Uh... I'm not sure I can" I said gripping on the rim. I looked down and its pretty far down.
"Rai-kun" Miyako said coming on the court. "Hang in there!"
"No he needs to get down so we can get to Kimiko's Drama try outs"
"I can't get down" I said and I saw my brothers and cousin face palm.
"Okay look" Takeshi said getting under me. "Just put your legs on my shoulders simple"
I moved my legs on either side of Takeshi's head.
"Good" Yuichi said "Not let go of the rim.
I did so but instead of being on Takeshi I just fell on him. At least I'm down.
"Thanks for breaking my fall bro." I said smiling
"Get off me!"
We laughed before leaving gym and heading for the auditorium.
Kimiko's P.O.V
Acting is in my blood and I have always loved the theater. Even just standing on a stage gives me a tingly feeling. I've been in the Drama club since my first year in N.T.A and I usually get the female leads in the school play and take my roles seriously. There was one time how ever I did a play and this girl put guacamole on me during my big finish. As an actress I finished of my scene perfectly and still got applause from the audience despite that my hair was practically green due to the guacamole.
After that I got my revenge and... let's just say she doesn't go to this school anymore.
"Next is Himeko Shirogane"
"What!?"
I groaned and ran a hand threw my light reddish brown hair.
"Himeko can act?" Tsuki asked us.
"Not at all" Momoko-chan said.
"She's worse than me!" Kaoru said.
K-chan isn't a bad actress she just doesn't make an effort. Himeko on the other hand can't act to save her life. She thinks that saying lines loudly and making herself look "cute" is the equivalent to acting,which it isn't. She just signs up for Drama so that she will get attention and the stage is the best place for that.
"Now Himeko" Hitomi-sensei said giving Himeko her script. "This piece is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. You are Juliet and you are getting ready to drink poison."
The way Drama try outs work is Hitomi-sensei gives you a piece from a play, any play, and you act it out the best you can. An actress is ready to act out any part in any play whether she knows the play or not. So while I was mentally preparing for my turn Himeko cleared her throat.
"This oughta be bad" Rin said and we all nodded.
"How long is this scene?" I asked Momoko. I know the play well but Momoko read it dozens of times. If I say a line from it she can tell me which act, scene, and line it came from.
"Its lines 24-58" Momoko informed us and we groaned.
"Do I read all of this?" Himeko asked.
"No just lines 53 to 58"
"Thank God!" we said with relief.
"Oi be quiet! Can't you see I'm trying to act here!?" Himeko snapped at us.
"Keyword"Trying!" Kaoru shouted.
"Kaoru-san please be quiet while she tries out." My director said
"Fine" K-chan said crossing her arms.
"Whenever you're ready Himeko"
"Thank you" Himeko cleared her throat and read from the script she was given.
"And, in the rage, with some great kinsman's bone,
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
O, look! Methinks I see my cousin's ghost seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body...."
I looked over at my friends and most of them had 'WTF' faces. Kaoru scrunched her nose and Momoko was crossing her arms. I could tell she was making a list of things Himeko was doing wrong. For starters Himeko changed the tone of her voice too she was talking so high it was close to yelling but then she talked lower trying to make it sound 'soft', which it did but not much. The one that stood out the most is that she kept moving too damn much! She outstretched her arms and over exaggerated her words.
"Damn I'm surprised she didn't fall off the stage yet" Takeshi whispered to us and we snickered.
''...Upon rapier's point. Stay,Tyblat, stay!
Romeo,Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink-I drink to thee''
Himeko drank the 'poison' and jerked a little before falling down with a loud sigh. She even exaggerated her fall. In fact she was still jerking on the floor a little trying to extend her stage time.
"Whoo!" Electron cheered getting up and clapping loudly and we all stared at him.
"I'm clapping because she's done!" Electron said happily then turned to Hitomi-sensei "Can she do it again with real poison?"
"Hahahaha!" we laughed and Himeko got up.
"You're just jealous!"
"Hey Hitomi-sensei how about she does the scene when Juliet stabbed herself" Kaoru suggested and we laughed again.
"Alright settle down back there" My director said then turned to Himeko "Thank you Himeko you can leave the stage now."
Himeko got off the stage and rejoined three of her friends that were clapping when she walked up to them.
"Kimiko Sayajima"
"Ganbette!" my friends chorused.
"Arigato" I said going up to my director. I looked over it as I walked up on stage. It was a piece from Our Town, a play by Thornton Wilder. Its a classic play that won the Pulitzer Prize and I love the lesson it teaches. Basically this monologue teaches you to how valuable time is and how we often waste it without realizing it. I'm supposed to be playing Emily and its Act 3 so that means I get to play her when she's a ghost. Awesome!I scanned over the stage directions and realized that I'm also supposed to cry since Emily has wasted all her time on Earth and realized what she didn't get to do. This won't be so bad, I learned how to cry on cue in fifth grade.
"Are you ready Sayajima-san?"
"Hai"
"You may start"
I exhaled and became Emily.
"I can't. I can't go on. It goes to fast. We don't have time to look at one another."
My voice was loud,like the play instructed, and sad. Knowing that my crying part was up next I allowed tears to swell in my eyes and the next thing I knew I broke down sobbing. And I kept the tears coming while I spoke the next part.
"I didn't realize. So all that was going on and we never noticed. Take me back-up the hill-to my grave. But first:Wait! One more look"
I looked over my shoulder to the audience, to my friends, and I looked at them as if I'll never see them again even though the truth is I see them all the time.
"Good-by,Good-by, world. Good-by,Grover's Corners... Mama and Papa. Good-by to clocks ticking...and Mama's food and new-ironed dresses and hot baths...and sleeping and waking ,earth,you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you."
My monologue is over and I became Kimiko once more. I wiped the tears from my eyes and my friends were applauding me. Sato-kun is the loudest and I giggled.
"Bravo Kimiko-chan!" he said.
"Well done" Hitomi-sensei said nodding at me and I thanked her before going up to everyone.
"That was good." Kaoru said
"And you cried real tears" Rin said
"Yeah it takes practice"
"I know you're in" Electron said
"Arigato Electron-chan"
"What's next?" Aoki asked.
"Soccer!" Kaoru said with a grin
"To the soccer field!" Takeshi said.
"Away!" the others replied leaving the auditorium.
Kaoru's P.O.V
I just finished kicking the ball into the goal 15 times in a row and that's with a goalie. I always loved soccer and always made the team.
"Sugoi! K-chan!' Miyako said giving me my water.
"I think you were showing off a little" Momoko said and I laughed.
"But?" I said
"But you did well you made some of the opposing players trip when they tried to take the ball from you" Momo said and I laughed again at the memory. That's what they get for not getting out of my way.
"Well I think that's it-"
"Next up is Takeshi Kakihara" I heard my coach say and my jaw dropped to the floor.
"NANI!?" I shouted.
"Wish me luck!" Takeshi said with a smile before heading over to the field. I looked over at the others and they seemed somewhat shocked as well but not as much as me.
"Did you guys no about this!?" I semi-shouted.
"Nope" they responded shaking their heads no.
I looked over at another part of the field to see Mariko Shinoda. She has choppy blonde hair to her shoulders, light gray eyes, a skull hair clip, and is tan-skinned. Mariko, sometimes I call her Mari, is in soccer like me and right now she was kicking the ball into the goal. I must admit she's pretty good and I actually like her but I hate Seiya and she's on the team too. Go figure.
Anyway back to me being in shock...why is Takeshi trying out for soccer!? Is he doing this to annoy me!?
"Alright Kakihara go ahead"
Tsuki told me that growing up she and her brothers never played normal sports so there's no way that Takeshi could-
"Goal!"
"What the-!?" I said and I looked to see that Takeshi really got a goal. And it was a quick too.
"Kaoru! Did you see that?" he asked me and I nodded dumbfounded.
"You shouldn't be that shocked Kaoru" Satoshi told me "We're still pretty athletic"
"No kidding..." I said
"Kaoru... you seem impressed by Takeshi-nii" I heard Kiki-chan say.
"Don't be ridiculous!" I said crossing my arms with a scoff before looking at him again.
Takeshi was doing one on one with Mitch. Mitch is a friend of mine and he is really good at soccer. He beat me a couple of times,which irritated me, but I got over it since we're on the same team. Somehow Takeshi was able to steal the ball from Mitch and make another goal. This isn't happening.
"Sugoi!" I heard Miyako and Kimiko say in unison.
"Takeshi... that's enough" the coach said when he noticed that the goalie was panting due to the effort he did trying to block Takeshi's kicks.
"Hai coach!" Takeshi said then came to me and put his elbow on my shoulder. "Go on say it"
"Why did you try out for soccer!?" I said to him
"So I can play a sport with you" Takeshi said casually and I blushed,but hid it like I normally do.
"Kawai!" I heard Momoko say and I turned to her and mouthed the word 'shut up'.
"Electron you're up!"
"Coming!" Electron said with a goofy grin on his face and this time both Takeshi and I had our jaws dropped on the floor.
"If you keep your mouths open bugs will go in there" Electron said to us before going on the field.
Ayumi and Rin had to close our mouths for us.
"Electron why don't you try blocking some of Mitch's kicks"
"Alright" he said and I watched him take the goalie position and readied himself. Mitch kicked a ball and Electron blocked it by kicking it back and it was a good kick too. When Mitch kicked the ball again Electron caught it and threw it back to him.
"Takeshi come here" the coach said and his elbow left my shoulder as he walked on the field.
"Try to make a goal pass Electron." I saw the smirk on Takeshi's face grows as he kicked the ball. Electron blocked it with a kick.
"Wait do over!" Takeshi said then kicked another ball that was near him but Electron blocked that one too.
This went on for a while. Takeshi kicked really well I must admit and Electron knew how to defend. Maybe having them on the team won't be as bad as I thought... although Takeshi will get on my nerves during practice. The coach have been telling Takeshi to stop but he wouldn't stop until he got a goal. I knew that for a fact.
"Finally!" Takeshi said with fist pump and I noticed he got a ball passed Electron.
"At least he's persistent" Yuichi said and we all nodded.
"I'm satisfied" Takeshi said grinning and he walked up to us once more with Electron behind him.
"So what's-"
"Band is next!" Electron said. Just by looking at him I can tell he's excited.
"To the music room!" the twins said in unison.
"Aye Sir!" the rest of said and left the soccer field.
Normal P.O.V
The N.T.A Band has musicians of all kinds. Students play the tuba, trumpet, trombone, drums, and much more. Electron was going to try out with his baritone sax. Right now the group was waiting for Electron's turn. There is a guy who is playing the trombone and really well too. The music teacher, Sanjimoto-sensei, is in charge of the school band and sometimes recommends his students to try out.
"Very good" Sanjimoto praised and the trombone kid bowed before going back to his seat.
"Oh Electron you made it"
"Yep!" Electron got out his baritone sax and the others were seated down waiting to hear.
"Go ahead and start" the music teacher said and Electron did so.
He is playing Sing Sing Sing (with a Swing) by Louis Prima.(A/N:Go to Youtube and type it in. Look for the video by Tolis Delta. His is the best one)
The song is upbeat and well played. Sanjimoto was impressed and closed his eyes to savor the music that filled the room. Kimiko and Satoshi looked at each other and decided to dance like idiots along with Electron's baritone sax. The others danced in their seats,but Kaoru just tapped her foot to the beat.
Electron was enjoying entertaining his friends and impressing the music teacher at the same time as he continued to play.
Soon enough Yuichi and Momoko got up and started dancing along with the purples. Then it was the blues and Takeshi forced Kaoru to get up so that she can dance with him. Tsuki was blushing but enjoyed dancing with Aoki and giggled a little when he bumped into Raiden. Hikari and Zoku were dancing as well and Zoku often spun Hikari around. Rin and Ayumi were taking advantage of the song and danced as well and they laughed at each other if one of them stepped on someone's , Sing, Sing(with a swing) is a swing song but none of them knew to do the swing so they did random dances that still went well with the tune. Out of everyone in the room Kimiko and Satoshi did the craziest and stupidest dances but they were having fun.
The music teacher smiled at the scene knowing that people dancing to a musician's music is good sign. Sadly the song came to an end and the group plopped back on the chairs as if nothing happened.
"WHOOOO!" the boys cheered for the afro-haired young man.
"Encore! Encore!" the girls cheered afterwards.
"Your friends are right Electron" Sanjiomoto said clapping "Excellent job"
"I do what I can"
"Oh Kimiko don't you have to try-out for something else?" Rin asked
"Oh yeah... I have dance!" Kimiko said with realization
"Well you got to practice here" Hikari said
"Yup! I just have to keep up my stamina!" the brunette said happily.
"Ikou!" the quadruplets said in unison and everyone left the music room.
Satoshi's P.O.V
Dance try-outs is in the auditorium as well. Drama try-outs ended already so the stage was full of dancers. I saw them doing stretches and chatting with each other. I was sitting in the audience along with everyone else as we were going to see Kimiko-chan try-out. The dancer on stage had both boys and girls. I expected it to be more girls but its actually even with both genders.
"This school is full of talent" I heard imoto say.
"Yup" Kaoru said.
"Its one of the good things about this school" Pinky replied.
I nodded and looked back on stage. I saw Kimiko chatting with a girl with long white hair, white eyes, black headband, and somewhat pale skin. She's Yuko Oshima and I can only assume she's a dancer too.
"Shall we begin?" a lady said coming on stage, she's obviously the dance instructor.
"So how do dance try-outs work?" Electron asked.
"Well that lady puts on a dance song and she does some moves and they have to follow" Kaoru explained.
"Seems easy enough" Takeshi said.
"It depends how fast she does the moves" Momoko said.
I saw the dance instructor press play and an upbeat dance song was starting. The song is called 'We Right Here' by Drew Ryan Scott and its the perfect song for dance team if you ask me.I could see how focused everyone on stage became. They kept their eyes glued on the dance instructor,waiting for her to move. I glanced at the others to see that they were tapping their foot other tapping their fingers on the arm rest. I chuckled a little. Two sings in a row and they still have some dance left in them. We couldn't dance freely like in the music room because Kimiko would lose her focus.
After the artist started to sing the dance instructed did a series of dance moves. They were all precise and matched every beat perfectly. My eyes widened a little and my brothers were thinking the same thought:Damn!.
When the dance instructor finished the dancer mimicked her moves really well. I was impressed because I only caught half of what she did before.
Then the dance instructor did moves that were less precise and more free. Her movements were loose and flowed well with the upbeat song that was playing. Free movements is what Kimiko is best at,I noticed. Must be because ballet dancers dance freely.
I realize now why this would be a challenge. The dance instructor made each dance sample completely different. After doing free movements the dance instructor did fast dance movements mainly fast movements with her feet. It looked cool and I saw that Kimiko and Yuko were copying her well.
"Sugoi..." I heard Ayumi said in a low voice.
"I like this song" Hikari said moving side to side. After she said those words I realized that I was tapping my foot. Was I always doing that?
"Kimi-usa is having so much fun" Miyako said with a giggle.
"It looks like fun" Electron replied.
"i could never do that" Kaoru said "I'm too impatient"
"Got that right" Takeshi said with his arm around her.
We looked on stage again to see that the dancers were still dancing and almost in sync too. The dance instructor changed the movements once more by gliding across the floor in a smooth way.
"Now that's a cool move" Yuichi said and Aoki nodded.
While I watched Kimiko mimic the smooth movements I noticed that there was this certain...glow to her. The same glow she has when she acts. This is seen when she does something she loves and watching her do it is just as great.
"This song is almost over" Kaoru said tapping her foot to the beat.
"Yeah the last moves are the easiest" Momoko told us.
As a finisher the dance instructor did a spin and kneeled on the floor. The dancers did the same and by the time they kneeled the song ended. It was perfect timing.
"WHOOO!" we cheered but of course I was the loudest. The dancers got up and caught their breath.
"Very nice I'm impressed" the lady said before getting off stage and writing things down in her clipboard.
"Phew!" Kimiko said before laying down face-first on my lap which made us laugh.
"That was awesome Kimiko-nee" Suki-san told her and she lifted her head and smiled.
"Arigato Kiki-chan!"
"You danced during band and dance try-outs" Momoko said to her
"You should rest" I told her
"But you four have to try out for cheerleading"
"Oh yeah!" Miyako said
"Alright then" I said putting her on my back piggy-back style.
"To the gym!" Ayumi said and we were off. We were running around all over the place today.
Miyako's P.O.V
Basketball try-outs ended a while ago so the gym with filed with those who wanted to be cheerleaders but for some reason there were guys here too. A lot of them actually and when I walked in they got excited.
"How did they know you would be here?" Kaoru asked me and I shrugged.
"Oh well at least we have an audience." I said happily and those around me sweat dropped while Rai-kun just glared at the boys on the bleachers.
"Oh shoot look at all these boys that came here to see me try-out for cheerleading." I heard a voice say and we all turned around to see Himeko and her friends again
"We meet again" Hikari said to Naru and Ashlee and they flinched slightly at the sight of Hikari. I wonder if she did something to them.
"Drama wasn't enough for you?" Kimiko asked Himeko.
"I' mulit-talented,duh" Himeko said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. It would be mean to say that her acting wasn't convincing so I just pulled on one of my pigtails.
"These boys didn't come to see you you ignorant bitch" Ayumi said "They came here to see Miyako"
Himeko flashed me a hateful glare before she turned her head continued to walk to the center of the gym with her friends trailing behind her. I blinked at her actions.
"What did I do?" I asked
"Nothing at all" Rai-kun said to me.
"Let's join the others,ne?" Momoko said to me and I nodded with a smile. The others went to watch us from the bleachers.
"I'm glad you two are doing cheer leading as well!" I said to Hikari and Ayumi. I can imagine them in the cheer uniform. They are both going to look so kawai!
"Of course!" Hikari said naturally.
"Oh hey Miyako" a voice said and the four of us turned to see a girl walking towards us. She has long pink hair with a yellow ribbon in it that holds some of it is a ponytail, yellow eyes, and semi-pale skin. Its Yuki Kashiwagi she's a fellow cheerleader.
"Hi Yuki!" I greeted her with my usual smile.
"I thought you were going to miss try-outs"
"I was running late since Kimi-usa hand dance try-outs"
"Oh yeah you saw Yuko there?"
"Mhm! She was good!"
"Alright ladies gather around"
The girls and I did so.
"Now which one of you can do somersaults?" Aya-sensei is in charge of squad and also writes out our cheers and teaches them to us.
I raised my hand and so did Yuki, Momoko, Hikari, Ayumi, and I noticed that Himeko and her other friend raised their hands as well.
"Fair amount" Aya-sensei said. "Alright those who cam do somersaults show me what you got."
Yuki was first and she did a series of somersaults and ended with spilt. We clapped for her.
"Ayumi Nelia" Aya-sensei said.
"Good luck" Hikari said to her and Ayumi did a back flip which lead to a cartwheel and landed on her two feet neatly with both hands in the air. I noticed Rin starting at her and when I told Ayumi about it we both shared a giggle.
"Next up Hikari Kinoshita"
Hikari happily stepped up and had a confident smile. Shen then proceed to do a flip, a cartwheel, and a another flip before posing with one hand on her hip and another in the air.
"Good form." Aya-sensei said and I gave Hikari a thumbs-up.
"Himeko Shirogane"
Himeko stepped up and did a series of cartwheels. Himeko may not be the best actress, but she is good at this. I looked over at the bleachers and my friends seems surprised that Himeko can actually do something.
"Excellent Himeko."
"I know."
"Momoko Akatsutsumi."
"Ganbette Momoko-chan" I said to her and she winked at me. Most people don't know that Momoko used to take gymnastics when she was younger and once Momoko does something she never forgets it.
I saw my red-headed friend walk up and do a front flip, a cartwheel, a back flip and she landed with both hands on her hips. We clapped for her and she smiled at Yuichi in response.
"Miyako Gotokuji"
Some of the boys cheered for me even though I didn't do anything yet and I saw Himeko's eyes narrow. I did a cartwheel, three flips in a row, and landed with a horizontal split with both of my hands in the air.
"Go Miyako!" the boys cheered. I saw Rai-kun cheering for me too but he also seemed annoyed at something... maybe he was getting sick. I got up and went to the others.
"That was great Miyako!" Ayumi said to me
"So was yours" I said honestly.
"Wonderful Miyako"
"Arigato Aya-sensei" I said giggling.
"Now for everyone else follow my lead"
On the cheer leading squad we do a lot of stepping she is going to test us to see if we can stay on beat. Aya-sensei did a series of rhythmic step movements. It looked as easy at first but they always do. We stomped, snapped, and clapped on beat with her here comes the hard part.
"Faster!" Aya-sensei said in a loud voice.
She always does this. Once she hears that all of us have the beat she wants us to do it faster, and faster, and faster. I focused on my movements and made it was like a cycle. We started to do the steps faster and the beat got faster as well.
Boom Snap Clap Boom Boom Snap Clap
I kept the beat in my head and it echoed throughout the gym.
"Even faster!" I heard Aya-sensei say and we did. I made sure I was stomping my feet hard so get the Boom sound instead of the tap sound.
Boom Snap Clap Boom Boom Snap Clap
"Yes!" Aya-sensei said "Alright you can stop now" and we all did so with a sigh. My hands hurt from all the clapping but you get used to it.
"Thank you girls next week you'll get the results."
"Hai!"
"Do you do that all the time?" Ayumi asked me and I giggled and nodded.
"You were great though." Hikari said to her.
As I walked by the bleachers the guys started cheering again I didn't recognize half of them.
"Will you get lost!?" Kaoru yelled at them and they left while waving at me and I waved back.
"That was great Miyako-chan!" Rai-kun said hugging me.
"Pinky your hands are red" Yuichi said with amusement.
"She kept telling me I was clapping to soft"
"Aya-sensei says that if your hands are red after you clapped loudly enough." I told Momoko-chan.
"What did I sign up for?" Momoko said with a sigh and the boys laughed at her.
"You definitely got in" Zoku told Hikari.
"I know the somersaults are fun to do" Hikari replied back.
We did all of our try-outs so we grabbed our bags and waited for next week to see if we made it. But I already know everyone is going to make what they tried out for.
