Drama Teacher Ch. 4

By now, the boys had already finished running their laps. Ryoma was going towards the courts when he saw Inui writing in his green data book again.

"Ryoma playing the main part of Romeo in the school play....interesting..." muttered Inui as he was scribbling in his data book. Ryoma scowled at Inui.

Eiji bounced towards Ryoma. "Nya! Ochibi!! Let's find out who's playing Juliet!!!"

How many times must he say the same thing? "No,"

"Why not? You'll have to know who's playing her anyways, so why not find out right now?"

"I don't want to," and with that, Ryoma left Eiji.

They all began tennis practice. Ryoma was warming up on the courts. He had to admit, it was kind of hard to not think about who was going to play Juliet, since he was playing the main male part. Why was he chosen anyway? The teachers knew that he didn't bother making an effort in school work, yet why did the drama teacher choose him for the part?

While Ryoma was still warming up, Eiji and Momo were whispering behind his back.

"Hey, who do you think is playing Juliet??" whispered Momo.

"How should I know, nya! Everyone's wondering about that same question!"

"Does Horio know? He knew Echizen's part,"

"I don't know, nya," (A/N: ....)

"Then how do we found out!?"

"Nya! I say we go to Echizen's fan club! And ask them!"

"Who?"

"We can always ask Sakuno-chan and her friend, Tomoko-chan, nya!"

"Good point, they're both in his class,"

"When do we go??"

"I don't know....after practice??" Eiji was about to reply when Tezuka's voice stopped the two. "15 laps around, you two! Now!"

In a frenzy, Momo and Eiji started running....but only one thought remained in their heads: They were going to find out who was playing Juliet.

After tennis practice

Momo and Eiji ran out of the locker room first thing after they changed. They made an excuse (a really lame one...) and rushed out.

"Nya, where do we go??"

"The girls' tennis courts! They've got to be there!"

They ran to the other side of the school and reached the girls' tennis courts. Momo was right, Sakuno and Tomoko were there.

"Sakuno-chan!!! Tomoko-chan!!!"

The two girls turned around. "It's Momo-chan-sempai and Kikumaru-sempai," said Sakuno. "They seem to be panting hard....did they run all the way here?" wondered Tomoko.

"Something wrong, Momo-chan-sempai? Kikumaru-sempai?" asked Sakuno.

"We heard that your class got picked for the school play," explained Momo.

"Nya! We wanna know who's playing Juliet!" said Eiji.

At Eiji's statement, Sakuno's face turned a bright red. Tomoko stood there, smiling...

"Hm? Nya, did I say something wrong?" asked Eiji.

"N-no..." said Tomoko. Obviously, neither she or Sakuno had expected the two sempai to come over and ask such a question, "It's just that..."

"It's just that what?" asked Momo.

"Erm...Sakuno...." Sakuno turned even redder.

"Sakuno??" the two older boys looked at each other. What about Sakuno? Suddenly, the idea hit them, "Ah!!!" Of course! Why didn't they think of it before!?

"Nya!! Is it true?? Really??? Is it true that Sakuno-chan's really playing Juliet???"

"Is it true???" Momo was just as excited as Eiji.

Sakuno, already red, just nodded. She couldn't find her voice. Tomoko sweatdropped.

"Nya!!! Ochibi is going to be so lucky!!! We'd better go tell him!!!!"

"Yeah! Let's go, Eiji-sempai!"

Eiji's statement snapped a light bulb in Tomoko's mind. Sakuno was just as surprised.

"Wait!!!" called Tomoko, "What did you just say???"

"Hm?" Both the sempai said at the same time.

"Repeat your last statement, Eiji-sempai,"

"Uh...Ochibi is so lucky, nya," Tomoko and Sakuno looked at each other.

"You don't mean..."

"Echizen's playing Romeo," finished Momo, with an evil grin.

Sakuno turned 10 shades redder. No way...she had never thought that Ryoma would be the one who got chosen for that part...Tomoko, on the other hand, was pleased. "Yes!!! I knew it would happen!!!" she thought excitedly.

"We'd better go...thanks Tomoko-chan!! Sakuno-chan, good luck!!!!" the two boys ran off. Tomoko waved after them, "Thanks for telling us the information!!!!" she called.

Eiji and Momo started running back to the boys' tennis courts. They both couldn't believe what they had just heard. Sakuno-chan? with Ryoma? Now that was something worth seeing.

"We have just got to tell everyone!!! This is just unbelievable!!!" said Momo.

"Nya! We really need to go to that school play!!" replied Eiji. The boys ran around the corner...

SLAM!

Both boys landed on the ground, along with someone else. Momo rubbed his head. "Ow....what happened..." Momo looked up, "Huh? Fuji-sempai?" Indeed it was. Fuji was there.

"Nya, Fuji, what are you here for?"

"I had a feeling that you two were going to do something...so I followed you two...but it seems I didn't arrive in time..." replied Fuji.

Momo and Eiji looked at each other and turned on an evil grin. "Fuji-sempai," said Momo, "You won't believe who's going to be with Echizen,"

"Who?"

"Guess!"

"Who?"

Eiji couldn't take it anymore. "Sakuno-chan's playing Juliet!!! and then Ochibi's going to be Ryoma!!!"

Fuji's eyes were open, revealing some of his blue orbs. Even he hadn't expected it (A/N: of course, we all did, -) to be that way.

"I see...Echizen sure is lucky, isn't he?" he asked mischieviously, "I'll need my camera that day. I want to take some pictures,"

"We'll bring a video!! Nya!!!" said Eiji. "We're telling everyone! Let's go!!!" said Momo.

The trio ran back to the rest of the Seigaku's team members. They excitedly told everyone the news. Ryoma couldn't believe his ears.

Ryuzaki was playing the main female part.....no....and he...what can come next...
