*~*~*~* Hallo! It's me, finally got to updating my story. I just wanted a
lil note before the start of this chapter.(I got a email about this so I
thought that I should make it clear) You guys probably realized that in my
Fanfic, I describe Van with blue eye. He really has brown eyes but I don't
know why…I'm just think people with black hair and blue (or green) eyes are
really kool looking. Even though Van's already extremely hott *drool,
drool, drool* I just thought it'd be kool. So just wanted to let you know
that I know he has brown eyes. Ne ways, on with the story…*~*~*~*
Chapter Twelve: First Rehearsal
"I seriously don't see the point of me being here," Meredith leaned against the back stage wall, "I've been stuck back here ever since I came."
"The play goes on in one month, that's not a lot of time and you're one of the main characters, of course you need to be at every rehearsal." Hitomi replied as she searched a huge cardboard box for some items.
"I wasn't asking you," Meredith rolled her eyes. "Who do you think you are anyways? Just because you were told to help me with my French doesn't mean you can boss me around!"
"I wasn't bossing you around, I was simply-" Hitomi stopped seeing Meredith walk away. It was obvious that she wasn't listening so why waste the energy trying to reason with her?
'Bitch, how did she ever get the lead? She can't even speak French. I'm only trying to help her and she snaps at me every chance she gets. Who died and made her queen of the word?'
Hitomi's thoughts were interrupted as she heard someone yell on stage.
"Meredith!!! Get off the stage! You don't come in until later!"
It was Steve, the assistant director. He's a really smart and ambitious guy. He likes everything to be 'perfect' and got cranky whenever people go in his way.
"Look nerd boy, I've already wasted 2 hours here and I didn't even get to go on stage. We are rehearsing my lines now or I'm leaving!" Meredith said looking very annoyed with her hands on her hip.
"Okay, ça va pour aujourd'hui, étudier vous ligns et nous nous revoyons demain à la même heure. (Okay, that's enough for today, study your lines and we'll see each other tomorrow at the same time.)" Mr. LaFortain said getting up from his chair. "Good work."
"WHAT? You mean we're finished?" Meredith shrieked.
"Yes Miss Robinson and now if you will excuse me, I will see you tomorrow," the teacher said as he walked towards the exit.
"Damn, this is so cheap!"
Hitomi returned back to her work but was startled when she felt two strong arms encircle her waist.
"Hey baby," Allen said giving her a kiss, "Ready to go?"
Hitomi turned around so she can return the kiss more easily, "I have to stay a bit to finish some work," she said after they broke apart. Deep inside, she was secretly hoping that he'd offer to stay with her.
"Well that sucks, I'll see you tomorrow than." Giving her one last kiss, he walked away.
"Allen, wait up!" a tall redhead yelled out.
"Hey, going home already? How bout giving me a ride?" Meredith asked as she caught up with him.
"Sure!" he answered a little too enthusiastic.
'Great…' Hitomi thought as she watched the young woman walk away with her arms around Allen.

"kimi o kimi o aishiter, kokoro de mitsumete iru, kimi o kimi o shinjiteru, samui yoru mo…" Hitomi sang to herself 10 minutes later as she searched though a closet looking for one of those dummies you use to hold the clothes (A/N: what are they called?).
"Did anyone every tell you that you have a beautiful voice?"
She jumped as she heard the voice behind her. "Oh hi Van. I didn't realize anyone was still here." She said blushing. It was the first time they talked since that day.
"Yeah, I stayed behind for some …um… work." He said with a nervous smile, "I'm helping out the stage crew."
"Wow, you're playing the lead and your helping with the crew? That must be a lot of work!"
"No problem."
There was a moment of silence as Hitomi struggled to get the dummy out of the closet.
"Do you need a hand there?" Van asked
"No…I…got…it, just a little more…Ah!" Hitomi screamed as the dummy finally came out the closet. She was pulling on it so hard that the impact made her stumble backwards.
Noticing that she didn't hit the ground, she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a beautiful pair of dark blue eyes. Hitomi just stood there for a moment, completely lost in those eyes. It seemed like forever, until she finally realized that she was staring at Van who had his arms around her. (A/N: He caught her as she was falling. She has her back to him but her head is like on his shoulder so she can see his face and all. I'm not good at describing things but you know what I'm talking about.~_~)
"Oh! I'm sorry," she said awkwardly freeing herself from his hold, "I mean, thanks…for catching me that is..."
"Oh, no problem" Van blushed.
They stood there once again without saying anything. This time, Hitomi didn't dare to look at him. She was afraid that if she did, she would see those eyes, and then, she'd never be able to looking away.
Desperately looking for a distraction, she looked at her watch and said, "well, it's getting late and I'd better be going,"
"How-bout-a-cup-of-coffee?" Van blurted out quickly.
Seeing that Hitomi was feeling uncomfortable about the idea, he added, "I mean just as friends, nothing else…just friends..."
"I don't know…" she finally said slowly.
***oooohhhh….is that a no? Can Van handle 'just being friends'? Wanna know? Hafta wait till the next chapter! Sorry if I'm not updating as often anymore. I have so many projects to do and I have this huge history midterm coming up. _ Not to mention course selections…so much work, ick. Ne ways. Keeps those reviews coming cuz I love reading them!!! ^_^ Hope you liked it! Later!***
