Chapter 6: Opening Night
(Quick A/N: I know nothing about this play because my school is too cheap to do it(lolz), so some of this stuff might be made up....idk.....thanks -animefairy14)
Tonight was the night, and Meygan was really scared. This would be her first major role in a school play since second grade, so it was kind of like, a return to the stage. She was sitting backstage with the rest of the cast, when she heard a few familiar voices. "Hi Meygan." said the voices. She looked to see her friends, girls and guys, coming toward her. "Hey you guys," Meygan greeted. "Thanks for the support. What are you doing back here?" "Just had to see you before the show." Sasha explained. "So kick some booty." Cloe added. "We'll be watching," Fianna said. "And if you see loads of camera flashes, it's Yasmin." Yasmin playfully socked Fianna in the arm. "It'll be Dana." Yasmin cleared it up. "Whatever." Dana said. "What they're trying to say," Nevra explained. "Is break a leg, Megs." "Thanks guys," Meygan giggled. "I'll make you proud." "You better," Dylan said. "We gave up a Friday night for this." "Shut up, Dylan." the girls and rest of the guys said together. Dylan smiled, then the whole gang left. Pretty soon, it was time for the curtain to go up, and the play started up.
The play was just about over. It was time for the kissing scene between Romeo and Juliet. It was the part of the play where Romeo comes in to find Juliet passed out on the floor, thinking she's dead. "Oh no," said Justin, in his role of Romeo. "My dearest Juliet, you mustn't be dead." In her role of Juliet, Meygan was perfectly still, making sure not to move a muscle. As she lay on the cold, hard stagefloor, the realized that she had to sneeze. She made sure she held it down as Justin said his lines over her. "I shall drink the poison that killed my love," said Justin. "I must join my love, in the heavens above." Justin, in his role, drank the empty, handmade clay wine glass, then dropped it. He fell to the ground, sprawled out like he was dead. Meygan, in her role of Juliet, sat up. "Romeo," she said. "Romeo, what has happened to you?" She crawled over to where Justin lay, then said her line, "My dearest Romeo, you must wake up, you must." She shook him, and as much as Justin wanted to move, he couldn't. Meygan, in her role, noticed the empty cup and said, "He drank the poison." She lifted Justin's head up and placed it oh her lap. "Oh Romeo," she said. May one kiss upon your lips, let me join you in the heavens above." Justin stayed in his role, not moving an inch. With that, Meygan leaned down and softly kissed Justin. After she parted, she whispered, "I love you Romeo." And with that, she fell back, sprawled out like she was dead as well. The curtain closed and everyone was clapping and cheering. With no one being able to see them, Meygan and Justin got up, and were joined by the rest of the cast. They all held hands as the curtain went up for them to take a bow. After doing that, they went backstage. "You were great Meygan." said Justin. "Thanks," Meygan smiled. "You were too." They all went into their dressing rooms and changed. Meygan got out of the costume and into a pair of comfy jeans, a black t-shirt, and her Converse sneakers of course. She hung the costume up on the costume rack, then got her bag and went out into the auditorium. "Meygan," said her mother, Valerie. "That was amazing honey." "She's right," agreed her stepfather, Tom. "Amazing." "You were great Megyan." said her little brother, Michael. "Thanks guys," Meygan smiled as she picked up her little brother. "I don't even know how I managed to keep it all together." She kissed her little brother's cheek, then put him down. "We'll see you at home." Valerie said. "Okay," Meygan said. "Bye." The family smiled, then left. Meygan made her way over to her friends. "There's our Juliet." Cameron said. The rest of the gang looked up and said, "Hey Megs." "That was so awesome," Yasmin complimented. "You are a true star." "Can this be our magazine cover story?" "Sure it can," Meygan answered as she watched Justin come on over to them. "Did you take lots of pictures?" "Yeah," Yasmin answered. "You saw the numerous camera flashes didn't you?" Meygan smiled as Justin wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Hi ladies." he greeted. "Hey Justin." the girls greeted back. Meygan hugged Justin tight, and kissed his cheek. "Well Megs," Dylan said. "We're heading home. Well, us guys are." "We're going to our office," Sasha said. "I have some pics I have to put on MySpace anyway." The girls and guys left and Meygan looked at Justin. "I love you." she said. "I love you too, Meygan." Justin said. He kissed her forehead, and they left out, ready to start their relationship.
