A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while! School has been taking much of my time, so I guess that the chapters are going to be a little short, but please R&R anyway!

It was the opening night for the play and I managed to memorize my lines. My ex-girlfriend Aki offered to help me, but I knew that she was only doing that in hopes of getting back together. The audience seats were filled up. My very proud mom was sitting up front beside my friends who were snickering at the fact I had to wear tights. I saw Aki, who was waving at me. When it was time for my part my heart skipped a beat, I guess I was kind of nervous-just a little bit though.
The stage was so bright, I practically had a seizure! When I saw Kari, I had to admit she was very beautiful. She was wearing a long red dress, and her hair was up with clips I got up to the part where I was to describe Julliet's beauty. I was about to speak, when suddenly I forgot my lines. Um…It was something about the east and the sun, I think. Uh-oh, I'm in trouble. I could just feel Ms. Tanaka whispering the lines, but that didn't help, she was behind me. I looked up at Kari's bright eyes, and her warm smile. "You are so beautiful, you're eyes; full of love, your beautiful smile could make anyone fall in love with you." I suddenly stopped. Kari was slightly blushing. The curtains closed for the next scene. Why the hell did I say that? I thought to myself.

The play was almost over, I was 'dead' and 'Julliet' was saying her last lines. Uh-oh, the part I dreaded the most was about to happen… the kiss. Kari finished her last word and moved her face closer towards mine. I had to keep my eyes closed. Our lips touched, and I admit, I liked it. Kari plunged the 'knife' to her chest and fell on me. The curtains closed and there was a loud applause. The curtains opened again and everyone bowed. The audience stood up for an ovation.

"Nice change of lines." Ms. Tanaka said patting my shoulder. "Thanks" I said and ran off, looking for Kari. I had to apologize to her about the lines thing. I caught a glimpse of her talking to her best friend Miyako. "Kari!" I yelled out. Kari stopped. "Yes?" she asked. "I… um… I'm sorry for screwing up on the lines." I said. "No need to." Kari said. "Huh, why? I totally screwed up and you know it." "Don't apologize for saying that stuff, if you do you would be apologizing for the truth." she said; as her and Miyako started giggling and walking away. Huh? Is she mocking me? I thought to myself.
A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short! Like I said, school has been taking much of my time. But at least I hope it's keeping you in suspense in what's going to happen next.! To be continued!
