Chapter 2: Juliet
"I'm late!" Ran shouted as she opens the door of her classroom. She saw all her classmates looking straight at her. "Hi" "Stand in the hallway!" the teacher shouted.
----------
'So rude" Ran said to herself. "I can't find someone who will fit to be Juliet." A man' voice said. 'Juliet, about the play' Ran murmured. She slowly peeked at the room near her where she heard it. She saw a guy and Mrs. Suzuki, their English teacher talking. "But there are many girls who auditioned for the play, there must be someone who can be Juliet." Mrs. Suzuki explained. "But they don't really want the part, they just want to be with Hanazawa, Rei, right?" "You're true, but" "No one has the will to play the role itself." he said. "Will?" she repeated. Suddenly, someone entered the room. "Um, Mrs. Suzuki, can I recommend someone?" Ran asked. "Recommend?" "Yes, Aya, Tsujimoto, Aya" "Thanks, but" "What's your name?" the director asked. "Um, Kotubuki, Ran" Ran introduced herself. "Ms. Kotubuki, can you be Juliet?" he asked as he holds her hand. "Juliet? No, I couldn't, but I have someone who wants to be on the play." "Okay, I'll put her in the play too, just be Juliet." "No, I ""I'll pay you." He offered. "Sorry" "There'll be free food, eat all you can, you won't have to pay for It." He pleaded. "I won't? This is a dream come true." Ran said as her eyes glitters. "But unfortunately, I won't exchange food for friendship." "Okay, here's the deal." The guy whispered something to her.
----------Dismissal----------
"Aya! Wait up!" Ran shouted. Aya stopped. "What is it?" "Can we go at a restaurant? I have to tell you something." She asked. "Sure."
----------
Ran sipped on her drinks. "About the play" she started as she place her drinks down. "What about it?" "They're looking for a Juliet, right?" she reminded. "Yes" "Well, do you want to be Juliet at the play?" she asked. "Um, I really wanted to at first, but I realized that I don't really want to be the lead actress. Besides, I have a stage fright." Aya explained. "The director offered me to be the Juliet and I don't know what to answer. I thought that you wanted to be Juliet." She said. "Really? Then you should have said yes to them. Besides, you know how to act and don't have a stage fright." "Thanks, but I'm just doing this for the free food during rehearsals." "I thought so! Well, good luck!"
----------Day of the rehearsals----------
Ran quickly went to the room where rehearsals will be held. "Oh, shoot! The rehearsal is already starting!" Ran shouted as she saw many people there. The room was full of people and props for the play. "Ms. Kotubuki! Please come here!" the director shouted. "Everyone! This is our lead actress, Ms. Kotubuki, Ran!" "So, she's the one who's been chosen, lucky her." A girl said as she peeks inside of the room. She quickly went on the girl's locker room and opened it. "Girls!" she shouted to draw their attention to her. The girls stopped what they were doing and looked at her. "I already know who will play as Juliet in the upcoming play!" "I know it's me" "I wish it's me so I can kiss Rei." The other girls said. "It's not one of us! They chose Kotubuki, Ran from class 3-C!" she announced. "Kotubuki, Ran" "She's not that beautiful" "How could they pick her?" the girls demanded. "But, there's one way to make her lose the part." "What is it?" a girl asked. "To injure her." "Injure? Isn't it rude?" "We're just doing this for her. We wouldn't want her to be humiliated, right? So, we can actually save her." "Now, here's the plan." The girls started to gather and talk about the plan.
----------Next Day----------
"It's good that you're not late today, Ran." Aya said as the two of them walk to the corridors of the school. "Yeah, but it's for the play, so I can practice to be early." "That's right, but about the play, I, Ran! Look out!" Aya shouted. Suddenly, a huge rock fell above Ran. Luckily, she evaded it. "Why is there a huge rock here?" Ran asked. "Somebody could've planned this. Someone who has a grudge against you." Aya commented. "Grudge? But I know that I'm a friendly girl, I've been declared Ms. Friendly at Tokyo grade school." Ran said. "Look! Someone unleashed the chain, it means he/ she's been waiting for you."
----------Dismissal----------
"Ran! I heard what happened to you yesterday!" Miyu shouted as she went near her. "Yeah" "Who could've done this?" "I still don't know" "You should be serious about this." "I don't have time to think about all these stuff. Besides, we're in the mall, so we should have fun." Ran explained. "Ok." Suddenly, Ran felt that something was planning to throw something at her. "Get down, Miyu!" she shouted. They saw something hit the glass of the store. Then it broke into pieces. "Wait there!" Ran shouted as she ran after the one who threw the rock. She continued to follow her but she lost sight of her when a group of people accidentally pushed her because there's a concert. "I'll get you whatever happens!" she shouted.
-----------Saturday----------
"Dad! I'm going out for a walk!" Ran shouted. "Come home before nine!" "Okay!" Ran grabbed her bag and went outside. "I guess I'm going to the park." She decided.
----------Park----------
Ran found an unoccupied sit and sat on it. 'Who could've done these all? That's the second time yesterday. If I don't stop it, they could hurt my friends and parents. Should I report this to the police? No, I could solve this by myself, but what did I do to them?' she thought as she stands. 'I better go to Aya's house.' She felt that a car was going straight at her. "Shoot!" Ran couldn't move her feet. Suddenly, someone grabbed her and jumped at the other side of the street. Ran opened her eyes and saw Hanazawa, Rei. "Rei" she murmured. "Oh, wait!" Ran stood up and quickly followed the black car. "You idiot! I'll catch you even if I die! She shouted as she stops and takes a deep breath. "Kotubuki, Ran." Rei said. "Rei, thanks for saving me. I owe you." "What is happening?" he asked. A little puzzled. "I don't know. For some reason, someone tries to kill me. But I don't know what the reason is and who's doing this." "Why don't you report this to the police?" he asked. "Sorry, but it's my own problem so, I'm gonna deal this by myself." "What if you get hurt or something?" "Before they hurt me, I'll give them a punch or two first." She explained. "Well, I like your fighting spirit. Good luck." Rei started to leave. "Thanks again!" Ran shouted. 'She's not that sad even if all these are happening.'
----------Monday----------
"Ran! Hurry!" Aya shouted. "Okay! I'm just changing to my gym outfit! You go first! I'll just follow after!" Ran said. "Okay, but please hurry" "Sure" Ran took her rubber shoes and quickly wear it. "Okay, I'm all set." She wears a white t- shirt that has 'Tokyo high' written on it and a blue short shorts. She opened her locker and found a letter inside it that says: "Go to the alley in Kuwabara street at exactly six pm tonight." The letter instructed. "Kuwabara Street?" she repeated.
----------
Ran quickly opened the door of the gym. "Ms. Kotubuki! Come here!" the gym teacher shouted. "Yes!" she entered the gym and saw other students paired up but some boys are sitting on the bench because they don't have partners. "Mr. Hanazawa!" the teacher shouted. Rei went near them. "You and Ms. Kotubuki are dancing partners." "Dancing position!" the teacher announced. The whole class followed what he told them. Rei place his hand at Ran's waist and Ran's hand at his shoulder. "Do you have a problem, Ran?" he asked. "What? No." "Left foot then right." The teacher continued.
----------That night----------
Ran went to the assigned place. It has only few lights. "Show yourself! Where are you?" she shouted. "We're here! You went here, so brave." A girl said. "Who are you? And why are you trying to kill me? " We're not trying to kill you. We're just trying to injure you." "Injure me?" she repeated. "Because we all want Juliet's part!" they said in unison. "Attack her!" the leader ordered. "If you want to fight, I'll give you a fight!" Ran shouted as she stopped the bat hitting her. "What if you all beat me? Who will be Juliet? All of you?" she added. The girls stopped attacking her. "Yeah, leader! Who will be the Juliet?" a girl asked. "Um, well" the girls started to complain too. "Wait! I have an idea!" Ran shouted as she took a piece of paper and a ball pen on her pocket and started writing on it. "Here's Rei's cell phone number." The leader took it then looked at it. "This is Rei's actual number!" The group started to leave. "Thanks, Ran!" they all said in unison. "No problem! Just don't tell him I gave them to you! He'll be angry at me!" Ran reminded. She took a deep breath. "Glad that's over." She looked at the sky. "The stars are beautiful"
