Chapter 4: A little acting?
Alexeika dashed madly out her room taking two lefts and shouldering open the door on her right shoes in hand. Sliding in just as the bell rang in the clock tower Alex breathed a sigh of relief and moved over to Sandrina and Faldain who were smirking at her disheveled state.
"Don't say a word." She growled under her breath, smiling in response. A soft bodied, middle-aged woman with a mop of brown and grey curls raised an eyebrow and motioned the class to sit on the floor.
"I see our newest member has managed to find our class." The woman commented, silver eyes twinkling, "Today we will split into our groups and act out a three person scene written on a random piece of paper. One person will draw for each group from this cup. Alexeika may join Faldain and Sandrina since Thiaterika has left our class. Hope to it I want the scenes prepared for Friday. The most entertaining interpretation wins a secret prize!"
Faldain and five other guys moved over to the cup each returning to their respective groups. Alexeika and Sandrina had coveted a quiet corner near the music room and eagerly unfolded the sheet.
'An amorous tryst between a princess and a servant is interrupted by the worst person possible...'
"Faldain should be the princess!" Alex beamed, ignoring the prince's half hearted glare. "But who would be the most embarrassing person to witness the event?"
"The father?"
"The mother?"
"The mother who has also been having trysts with the servant?"
Several faces were pulled.
"The princess' intended who has also been having an affair with the servant? Who reveals the servant is the princess' illegitimate half brother?" Alex suggested.
"That's scary." Sandrina replied, "I like it."
"Yes but who shall take what part?" Faldain asked, nodding his head slowly.
"I still think you should be the princess." Faldain glared, Alex waved her hands frantically "It adds to the humour!"
"I want to be the prince then." Sandrina called.
"How shall we end it?" Alex asked.
"The prince and the brother could elope to Klad." Faldain suggested.
"Cruel, but fun."
"Let's do it."
The trio started writing up the plot on the back of the parchment in charcoal and began rehearsing. What the class though of Alex dipping the prince and pretending to kiss him senseless or Sandrina's smaller frame attempting to break them apart was unknown. Alexeika was having the time of her life, the trio played off each other's ideas by the end off the session they had already began planning certain props and costumes for Friday.
As they left the room for lunch they were still discussing the costuming.
"I think we should just tie flowers in Faldain's hair and give him a skirt from his cloak, we can just wear the breeches and paint on goatees."
"You can I'll pass on the facial hair thanks Alex." Sandrina commented turning to her room on the left hand corridor. "See you in a few minutes Dain." The dark haired pair turned right until Alex reached her door slumping her shoulders dramatically, "I wish I didn't have to wear long skirts to lunch they're soo impractical. See you soon your highness." She slipped in the door.
"We're friends it's Dain." He was rewarded by a smirk and a closed door. He shooked his head and continued down the corridor whistling.
Alexeika quickly pulled on the blouse and skirt quickly before grabbing her book bag and Sandrina and hopping, yes hopping, manically to lunch. The duo got a few stares at their entrance but quickly gathered some bread, ham and lettuce before sitting at their table beside their three friends. Faldain was an alarming shade of red once the girls had explained their acting project and lunch was finished.
A/N: Howdy thanks to the wonderful reviews my list of people who have read these books has climbed to four. Yay! Sorry this chapter is a bit short and long coming I've been rather focused on my extension2 major work for English. Yes I eventually plan for this to have a complication to the plot, but that can wait until I write it ;) hehe! Luv lyds
