Chapter 12. The play-part 1
Sakura woke up, feeling a little tick in her heart, she got up, checked her calendar, it's the day of the play, she would perform the simple kind first with the kids at the elementary school next door, that was no problem. Sakura put on her uniform, got her rollerblades, and went to school; she came back once, because she forgot to bring her backpack.
Sakura ran out, and got out her gown. Sakura wasn't exactly comfortable, but it had to do. She can just hear her thoughts running through. It was a stupid promise anyways, who make up such a thing? Why did you even say yes, he's such a jerk anyways. Be quiet. Sakura hissed in her mind, getting rid of all her horrible thoughts, Sakura couldn't help it, well, those weren't true.
The play carried on, as everyone had a rest. It was four, and they were setting a stage outside. Sakura took off her gown, free of the tightness of the slippers. She started on a row of chairs while Tomoyo put on a scene manual on each and every chair.
Sakura could just imagine, all those seats, filled up with people, just waiting to see her blow her scene. Though it cannot happen, Sakura just wished, that she didn't have to do this, what am I saying? I had a choice, I always did, but it's too late to turn back now, I'm going in. She took out last of the chairs, lined them up.
"Sakura-Chan, is there something wrong?" Rika asked. "No, why do you ask?" Sakura gave Rika a smile. "Alright, if you say so, but then, why are you lining those chairs in squiggles?"
Sakura just noticed her mistake, nodding quickly and started to fix the chairs. She went to set the snack table, when Chiharu stopped her. "Sakura, you have the main role, get some rest girl, we'll take care of things." Chiharu patted Sakura on her back. Sakura nodded. Tomoyo went after her to get her ready.
"Tomoyo, not so tight." Sakura yelled, not so loudly. Tomoyo was tying her hair up with golden streamers, and she was doing it too tight. "Come oh Sakura-Chan, it's the only way to attach the crown streamers when your crown comes." Tomoyo pouted. "Alright." Sakura said, giving in.
Since the first scene, she wasn't in it; Sakura was put into a brown and dark yellowish dress with regular shoes since she wasn't a princess then. Sakura was thankful, oh how those shoes hurt her toes.
Tomoyo finished the details, and went to help with the settings. Just then, Hiroku, (the prince guy, whatever name I made up) came in. "Hey Sakura, just came to wish you luck." He said, hiding his hands behind his back. He gave out a banquet of flowers from behind. "I knew that, boys always try that trick." Sakura giggled. She wasn't in the mood to put Hiroku in a bad mood by saying she isn't interested in a relationship, so Sakura simply just smiled at him.
"You know how surprised I was when I was chosen, it wasn't what I wished, but when I knew you were princess, my heart was delighted, telling me you're so lucky. And well, now we're here…" Hiroku said slowly. He isn't going to kiss me is he? Sakura thought. Sakura closed her eyes, but only felt a necklace on her neck. "It's a cherry blossom; my dad helped me to connect the crystal I bought with the golden string." Hiroku explained. "Oh thanks." Sakura said. Oh no, now he's thinking I'm accepting a date or something, after a date, you always get a gift! Sakura screamed in her mind.
"Hiroku! I need a help hanging the ropes so the fairies could fly." A boy's voice called. "Coming!" Hiroku yelled back. "See you Sakura, have a nice time!" He yelled. Sakura pressed her head with her hand. It's going to be a long day.
That's all there is, well for now. From now on, I'll try to do some summaries of the chapters I've written. Tell me in your review if you liked it, or if you want it to continue or not. A no is accepted.
Sakura finished her simple play, (without the kiss) and was now getting ready for the big one. (With the kiss) Rika finds out she had a problem, and Hiroku goes to visit her. Sakura thinks he likes her because he gave her flowers, and said that he was delighted that she was the princess, and he gave her a necklace. (All things my friend might've said) Sakura doesn't want to be with Hiroku, and she had to kiss him. The play's starting any minute, and Sakura still hadn't made up her mind.
Review and a preview is revealed for the next next chapter later.
