Thanks for the reviews!

Thank you to x-hikari and Catgurl2004!

Saturday 18th

Johnny has had me booked. I'm now expected to write a 1,000 word essay on behaviour and discipline, and I'm grounded for the week.

…

Thanks McGregor.

One day, I'm going to get hold of him and wrap him around a lamppost.

In my study room,

Tala and I are revising for our Russian History assessment. Well, we've got our Russian History notes open as I watch Tala practising a hand stand.

"Have you tried out for Mulan?" Tala asked from upside down. I glanced at him over the top of my glasses.
"What as? The man who, it the motion picture, had Donny Osmond as is singing voice?"
Well, he that character was an army leader. You can shout and yell like one of those,
"I can't sing though Tala,"
"Hm, s'pose,"
"Anyway, I'm in it already. Anyone who does weaponry is in the 'I'll make a man out of you' bit. We're doing something with the katana,"
Tala straightened, pulling his shirt down which had ridden up around his neck.

"Was rehearsal good last night?"
"Wonderful. Tyson and Max fell off the stage, an Enrique wondered on when he wasn't supposed to. No-one would of noticed if he hadn't of fallen over a few prancing hyenas. Then when I went on stage, someone on the ropes swung a rope out and clobbered me with a harness that was attached to the end,"

Tala sat down at his desk.

"Why don't you try out for Mulan Tala? You'd make a good Hun,"
"Nah, the hats don't appeal to me," Tala joked, smirking. He flicked his hair around, "Might flatten my hair,"
There was a knock on the door. I let Tala get it, slipping my glasses off.

It was Kane, and Rei.

"Come o, we've got an emergency gymnastics practise,"
I felt like beating my head severely against a wall at that.

This school is trying to kill me.

At gymnastic practise

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson is playing. I'm sitting on the bench at the side of the gym, skiving, and watching as Kane yelps and falls over, attempting to land from his flips on a bad ankle. I'm supposed to be helping him but…

…

well.

I'll just sit here and mouth along to the song whilst Miss-Lets-Prance-Around-Some-More helps Tala flip on the bar.

Rei collapsed next to me, panting.
"Aren't you supposed to be practising? Or helping Kane?"
"Yeah,"

"Some friend you are,"
I didn't bother answering.

"You're mean,"

'Be Prepared' (from the Lion King) Rehearsals

Tyson was annoying me by dancing like Michael Jackson and I couldn't stop him since the director was watching me with that 'shouldn't you be somewhere else' look. Yes, I am supposed to be somewhere else, I'm supposed to be doing my job in the lighting box.

Tyson was seriously getting to be, so I kicked the director's nasty cat. It ran off hissing and spitting.
"Hey, what had the cat done!" Tyson cried.

"Nothing. But hopefully, now he has been abused, he will go for a mouse, and the mouse, having been lashed at, will go for you. I hope,"
"And what will I do when I've been attacked by the mouse thanks to you!" He really doesn't get that that was all just wishful thinking.

"Nothing," I finished, "You are the last in God's great chain. Unless there's an earwig around here you would like to victimise,"

In the lighting box

I've been banished up here to do my job.

Life is just getting steadily worse. My days are becoming more and more horrible.

I get up, have lessons, have lunch, have lessons, have practise in whatever area, have rehearsals, revise for some test, then have my genitals trapped repeatedly in a car door.

Actually I found out last week that the last part was, after being informed by Rei, Johnny giving me a lecture on my day's behaviour.

Wow. I never noticed the difference.

Still at rehearsals,

In lighting box,

Tyson's prancing around being a hyena. OK, I must admit, he and Max are good as Hyenas. They are good actors. But still, I am allowed to laugh when the guy playing Scar drops Tyson in the wrong place, and sends him crashing through a trap door into the store room below.

I have Billie Jean and my routine stuck in my head thanks to the gymnastics practise.

Ugh, save me.

End of Kai's diary.

Normal POV

Luka Lilly had just about finished her quick supper at the back of the hall, when her friends came piling onto the row she was sat at.

"Hey Luka! Aw, didn't you save me a cheese sandwich!"
"Nova, sh!" Luka hissed, hitting her friend on the shoulder, "It's the middle of rehearsals! Be quiet,"
"Sorry," Nova said, not sounding very sorry, picking at the bits of cheese at the bottom of the empty sandwich packet.

Rehearsals finished soon after the girls arrived. They ran onto the stage to mess around with the scenery.

They froze when a spotlight swung around onto them.
"Freeze! This is a police raid,"

Came a voice over the sound system.

"Great, look what you've done!" Luka hissed at her hyperactive friends, frozen.

"Hey, wait!" Eddie Carlisle cried, peering through the blinding light of the spotlight, "Kai? Rei?"

Rei waved from where he and Kai were sat in the lighting box, Kai with his hands on the spotlight.

"Got you!" Rei said through the microphone he had in his hand, his voice ringing out from the speakers on the wall.

Eddie made a very rude gesture at the pair of them.

"You scared me," Luka gasped, hand on her heart.

"Oh Luka, you didn't really think they were the police did you?"

Luka squealed as Max came up behind her and slipped his arms round Luka's waist.
"Maxy! N-No…I didn't,"
"You two are good hyenas," Nova commented, snatching Tyson's hat and flinging it like a frisbee down the hall, "Fetch hyena,"
"Nova, you are not funny!" Tyson fumed. That was the fifth time she had done that to him today. He stomped off after his hat.

"So, Luka, how were the Mulan auditions?"
"Oh, great," Luka said, brightening. They asked me to sing Reflection like I thought they would do,"
Rei and Kai came down from the lighting box as the rest debated about the Mulan play.

"Why don't you try out for something Kai? The auditions are still open,"
"No thank you," Kai said, curtly.

His place in these plays, were up in the lighting box, not on the stage. Particularly if there was any trampolining involved, which there seemed to be with almost every production.

"How about you Rei?"
Rei shook his head.

"Oh come on guys!" Nova cried, from where she was seated on 'Pride Rock', "I mean, Tyson and Max are hyenas, how lower can you stoop?"
"Hey!" both Max and Tyson cried, throwing their supper at her.

"If I remember rightly Nova, you were a rock in last year's performance,"

Nova rallied Tala, by beating him severely with her fists.

"Nova, leave Redhead alone, we have dance practise!" coming Nova said in a sweet-sing-song voice, skipping after Eddie and Luka, leaving Tala groaning on the ground.

Kai's diary

In bed

I think I can hear Johnny rampaging after someone in the corridors.

Boy that guy is psycho.

"Kai?"
"Yes Tala?"
"Are you planning to sleep with your glasses on?"
"….No,"
I slid my glasses off.

I make a fool of myself sometimes.

Not such a good chapter, but the next one I will post v. soon to make up for it. That 'victimise an earwig' bit comes from Blackadder. Not from my own mind, however much I would like that to be.
