You're the One I Truly Love
Chapter IX:
Try: Play Auditions

Book I: Loving Her

Point of View: Sora

We left the theaters about an hour after the movie ended. Apparently, Mister Hop-Hop somehow got revived, turning into some kind of Super-Duper-Ultra-Mega-Bionic Bunny, and sent Doctor Hare back to No-No Land, and saved Planet Cutie. Isn't that just dandy?

I saw Kairi and Riku walking off somewhere, chattering away. We snuck up behind them, finding out that they went to another movie. I hate my life. I hate my life. I hate my life.

As we walked to Yuffie's house, I just couldn't help but feel a little happy— I realized Yuffie was my first date. Ever. . . .
And I kind of liked it, even if we did see a stupid bunny movie. That's...weird.

"That movie was so cool," Yuffie said, stretching out her arms in the air. "Did you hear there's gonna be a sequel? Invasion of the Mutated Bunnies II: The Return of Doctor Hare."

"Woo-freakin'-hoo."

"Oh, you're just mad 'cuz we went to the wrong movie. Deal with it, will you? Besides, I had a great time. We should go out again, huh? Saturday, maybe?"

"Yeah, but I'm going to pick the movie next time."

"As long as you pay for me." She winked, and added,"And you hafta pay for my food."

I smiled. "Sure."

When we got to Yuffie's house, we ended up just watching I Love Yuffie—er, I mean Lucy—at ten 'o clock. All the popcorn I ate at the theaters must have been poisoned or something 'cuz I'm really not myself today. I mean, we were gonna go out again next Saturday, for God's sake...oh no.

I just made another date with Yuffie—and this one isn't one of those crazy plans to get Kairi to be my girlfriend. This is an actual date...well, kinda. How many times can I be stupid in one day?
Wait a minute...YUFFIE HAS A BOYFRIEND. A BOYFRIEND! God, I'm such an IDIOT.

"Yuffie," I blurted out. "I can't do it. I just can't."

"What the hell are you talking about?" she barked.

"I can't go out with you! You would be cheating on your boyfriend! How could I do that to you? Oh, how can I be such an idiot? I'm so, so, so stupid! So, so, so, so—"

"Sora," Yuffie interrupted,"Shut. UP."

"What?"

Yuffie snapped. "First of all, who ever said we were going out? Just because we went to the movies together doesn't mean we're actually going out. Second of all, I would never cheat on my man. I love him, he loves me. Or something like that. And third, you're stupid—we all are. We're only human; nobody's perfect!" She took a deep breath as I sat there, mortified. All of those points she made...they were right. Yuffie smiled and said,"Wow, I feel smart."

I seriously could not talk now.

"Hey...are you mad at me?" Yuffie asked. "Sora?"

"N-No," I mumbled, fiddling with my jacket zipper. "Sorry."

"Good."

And then she rested her head on my shoulder. Oh, God. She whispered,"Good...'cuz then who else would I go to the movies with? Vinny's gone off on a business trip for a month."

Vinny? That's probably her boyfriend...but what the hell kind of name is that?...Oh, wait. I'm the one with a girl's name.
Before I could say anything else, Yuffie had drifted off asleep.

...I could have sworn she whispered my name before she was gone.

"Sora..."

I'm back at the place I hate: school.

It's third period—Ms. Lionheart's English class, except Ms. L was absent, so we had a substitute instead; know who that is? Mrs. Carl, who's worse than Mrs. Moon. Seriously.
She's always out to get me, just because I told her something("Mrs. Carl, you're not supposed to talk on your cellphone during class."). Hey, it's not my fault the damn principal made that rule.

"Okay, take out your reading books and read for twenty minutes," the teacher said, while dialing a number on her cellphone.

As I pulled out my book, I felt an object hit me on the head. "Ow!"

Mrs. Carl pulled away from her precious cellphone. "QUIET!" And she shot a glare at me. I nervously smiled. I focused on reading my book until the person behind me tapped my shoulder and gave me a piece of folded-up paper:

Hey, are you gonna try out as Romeo in the play? —Yuf

My eyebrows arched for a second. What play?...oh, right. In drama class. I wrote back, and we started having a conversation over the paper:
Yeah, maybe I will
MAYBE?
Fine, I will
U say it like u don't want to try out
I never said I didn't want to
I never said you did
You're confusing me now.
YOU'RE confusing ME. Gawd.
OK, so we're confusing each other. Anyway, are the auditions today?
Yes, you butt.
Don't call me that
BUTT BUTT BUTT BUTT

I laughed when I read that, earning another glare from Mrs. Carl, and then she went back to talking on her cellphone,"Yeah, I know. She is soo stupid...I know!..."

Hey...why am I auditioning for Romeo, again?
Geez, you sure have a bad memory.
Well?
KAIRI! Duh
Oh, yeah...
I'm auditioning as the cow
You are? Since when were you in drama?
I was tired of being in choir so I switched
...Why do you want to be a COW
I'm good at being a cow. MOOO. See?
Haha

"SORA!" Mrs. Carl barked. "Why are you NOT reading your book? I clearly told you, to READ your BOOK. Why are you not—KAIRI? Are you chewing GUM? That's against school rules. BOTH OF YOU HAVE DETENTION!"

Neither of us said anything, for if we did, we'd get two weeks of detention. Great...but at least I won't be alone in detention.

-

Time flew by fast, and I found myself up on the stage at sixth period (Drama). Earlier, that bastard Riku had tried out as Romeo. It seemed everybody wanted him to get the part. Riddiculus, really.
All we—whoever was trying out the part as Romeo—had to do was saying,"Hi, I'm Romeo." Some drama class this is. Seriously, all we have to do is say ONE line—and that's it! You're done auditioning!
I've always thought this school was cheap. Really, I have.

"Hi, I'm Romeo—" I began.

"Good job! BRAVO!" Ms. Heartsilly cheered. "Awesome job! That was just AMAZING!"

See? I told you.

Selphie came up to me as I began to leave the stage. "Can you believe this?" she said. "Ms. Heartsilly is such a terrible teacher! Geez, I tried out as Juliet, and all I had to say is,'Hi, I'm Juliet.' WHAT KIND OF PLAY IS THIS?"

"Shut up! She can hear you, you know!" Ms. Heartsilly was glaring at the two of us.

"Hi, I'm a cow!" we heard Yuffie shout. "MOO."

"Awesome job, Yuffie! Excellent!"

RIIIING

"Get going, class. The results should be up by tomorrow."

Author's Note thing:

Guess who's back! Back again! Daggerly's back! Tell a friend!
...Sorry. Heh heh heh.

I had to stop there 'cuz my sister wants to go on. Stupid her. If there's any errors, sorry—plus, stupid document manager hates me and keeps screwing up this. -shakes fist-

Oh yeah! I'm gonna divide this story into 'books', kinda like this one book called The Tale of Desperaux (dunno how to spell it, heh heh). There's probably gonna be three 'books', so yay. o.O
Oh, no reviewer responses now 'cuz I have to go soon.
I'm gonna rewrite all the chapters, but you won't have to reread them because they're gonna be the same thing, except with bold/italics and stuff.

REVIEW PLEASE! You're wasting your time if you flame, 'cuz I won't care about them.
Next chapter: The play audition results! And detention!
O.O This play is gonna be so screwed up...bwahahaha...
