Chapter Eleven: Meredith
"Well are you happy with what you got?" Yukari asked Hitomi as they were walking home from track practice.
"I guess being the costume designer isn't that bad," Hitomi said with a sigh, "I just wanted a more important role but I'm happy I didn't get Roxane cause that would have been really awkward."
"I know what you mean," Yukari said with a giggle. "So when is the first practice?"
"Tomorrow, after school."
"I still can't believe that Meredith got the lead. She can't even understand French and everyone knows that she's just keeping the role so that she can get close to Allen."
For a moment, Hitomi didn't reply, she seemed to be lost in thoughts.
Realizing that her best friend was feeling uneasy about her boyfriend being in a love scene with another girl, Yukari said reassuringly, "But don't worry, Allen is totally into you. He won't chose that slut over you."
"You hafta admit, she is drop-dead gorgeous. I wonder how comes she's not one of the MGW?"
"Because of her reputation! You think she's already enough well known with the guy." With that, the two girls broke into laughter.

"Here are you scripts for the play," Mr. LaFortain said at the end of class the next day. "I trust that I will be seeing all of you tonight. Please remember that you have to memorize everything by the end of next week. We don't have much time, so everyone must work every hard. May I suggest that the stage crew and the costume designers start right away and those having trouble with their lines should come to me for help." Seeing that the no one had any questions, the teacher finished, "you may be dismissed."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, more than half the class was running out the door. Hitomi waited for Allen while trying to ignore Van's gaze. They haven't been talking much since the hallway incident.
Allen asked her to wait for him because he had a little surprise for her (it's supposed to be making up for the dance.)
"Hey baby," Allen leaned over to give Hitomi a quick kiss as he approached. "You ready to-"
"Allen!" a cry came from behind. It was Meredith. The tall redhead waved from her desk, signaling him to wait for her.
To Hitomi's surprise, Allen smiled at great big smile and returned the wave happily. When she finally approached the couple, Hitomi could clearly see why Meredith was so popular with the guys. She was wearing the shortest mini-skirt Hitomi has ever seen and her baby blue tank top was almost see-through. The ensemble showed off the young woman's curves a little to well for Hitomi's liking.
"And where is my leading man running off to all of a sudden?" Meredith asked Allen smiling, then seeing Hitomi she asked, "oh are you driving your little sister home? Selena isn't it?"
"Nah, she's not my sister, this is Hitomi, Hitomi Kanzaki"
'Okay, back up here! What happened to 'this is Hitomi, my girlfriend,' Hitomi thought very annoyed. 'And if I'm not mistaken, Van is the Cyrano, she should be drooling all over him not Allen!' "Hey, I'm Hitomi." She decided to say out loud while reaching out a hand, "Allen's girlfriend."
Completely ignoring Hitomi, Meredith continued, "Well as I was saying, we have a lot of intimate part together in the play." She now had a hand on Allen's chest and finished with a seductive grin, "so I was thinking that we should get together and practice. You did hear the teacher, practice make perfect!"
'Okay, this bitch is seriously getting on my nerves.' Hitomi fought to keep her hand from ripping the girl in two. 'How can she just make a move on him when I'm standing right here?' "chee, I'm sure the offer sounds very tempting but my boyfriend and I have a date that we need to be getting to." Hitomi said removing the girl's hand from Allen's chest. She moved between them and started to push Allen away.
Allen however was completely enjoying the moment. He liked having the two girls fight over him even if he was a little surprised by Hitomi's courage.
"I'm sorry Meredith, today isn't a good time. Maybe tomorrow." Allen suggested.
Hitomi was completely shocked by his answer. 'Am I going crazy or did he just accept?!?!'
"Well, alright then, it's a date." Meredith said still smiling. "Call me." She gave Allen a kiss on the cheek before walking away.
Allen was still smiling as the tall redhead walked away.
"What was that all about?" Hitomi demanded right away, "you partially just accepted to sleep them her!!!"
"Calm down Hitomi, I didn't accept to do anything else than rehearse the play. You can't blame a girl for having good taste and it's not like you and I are married or anything." He said with his own voice rising a bit. "I'd do the same thing if you were Roxane."
"But I'm not!" Hitomi said with her lips trembling, trying to hold back tears, "and I don't like the fact that you're running around making out with some good looking Barbie!" Out of a corner of her eye, she could see Van looking at her through the crow of girls that usually surrounded him.
"Aww, baby you know I won't enjoy it as much as I enjoy kissing you," Allen reached out his arms to hold her and added with a grin, "I can prove that to you right now if you want."
'Maybe he's right, maybe I be overreacting a bit. It's not my fault that he's so attractive.' Hitomi thought calming down. "Okay, whatever, * evil smile * but you have to promise me that you'll hate every moment of it."
Putting his arm around Hitomi, he directed her towards the school exit and said, "now that we got that cleared up, what do you say we go on that date?"

"This is sweet!" Dilandau said that afternoon after Allen returned from his date with Hitomi. "You got yourself a MGW girlfriend and in the same time, you have a perfect excuse to make out with a totally hott babe!"
"And you said I lost my touch," Allen said with pride.
"But didn't the lil lady say she didn't want you sucking face with Meredith?"
Allen just smiled for a minute, than said with a laugh, "tell me one thing Dilandau, when did Allen Shezar ever obey a woman?" All Dilandau did was laugh because they both knew the answer very well.
***So how did you guys like this chapter? Not what you expected it, right? ^_^ hehe, well it was obvious that Hitomi should get Roxane but like I said before, I wanna be a lil original. But that doesn't mean she's completely out of the picture, you never know what might happen next. *Evil smile* there was a lil bit of Dilly in this chapter. Someone said that he should have been a MGM and I know that. But in the beginning, I had him as Selena but since most of you (*cough-Chichirui-cough*) wanted him in the fic so badly, I decided to make them into different people. Next up: first rehearsal. Hope you enjoyed it! Later!***
