Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Million Miles Away
Yuki's POV
"Alright, you guys have time for one more warm up before the people start filing in." Professor Amasawa, who was in charge of the drama and choir clubs, told us, "Pick a song you all know, I don't care where it's from, just make sure you all know it so you don't embarrass us if some people start coming in."
We all huddled together and chose a song that unless you'd been living under a rock, you knew it, and we all knew it would annoy the hell out of Amasawa. He had two little girls and he heard this song all of the time. Renge went over the orchestra and told them which song to play and then came back over to us.
"They willing to play it?" I asked her. She smiled evilly and nodded. I nodded, "Good. Okay, we all know who's singing what and that were all singing the end, so let's do this, go off into the guy/girl pairs your singing in, except for Sakura, Renge, Megumi, and Anju who of course don't have a guy partners, Sakura starts the song." They all nodded and went into their pairs. We started to sing Do You Wanna Build a Snowman.
"Whatever I do, I can never escape that song!" Amasawa exclaimed
"We sing it again louder." I replied.
"You're gonna be the death of me." Amasawa groaned, "Get in your positions and get ready to put on a show."
We all scattered to get ready to put on the show and into our positions.
Tamaki's POV
The show was going well. It was definitely better than last year. By the sounds of it, the students got to pick the songs this year. A group of girls did Cell Block Tango from Chicago. A group of guys did Officer Krupke from West Side Story. A small group did It Sucks To Be Me from Avenue Q. The whole cast did Dancing Through Life from Wicked and When I Grow Up from Matilda. They had solo acts filtered in between.
"We're going to slow things down a bit because what is a good musical without a romantic number?" Renge told us, "This musical just came to Broadway and after our next two members heard it, they went to the director and asked to put it into the show. I have never seen anyone fight so hard for a song. You will see them later in other numbers, but I would have to say they put the most heart into this one. Now, with the beautiful song A Million Miles Away from the new musical Aladdin, Yuki Suoh and Kenta Tokitou..." Renge went off stage and the curtain rose.
"Have you ever imagined what'd it be like to take off and never look back?" Kenta asked Yuki.
"Only every hour of every day." Yuki replied.
"What's stopping us?" Kenta asked her, before the music started to pick up as the song started. When they finished the song, the crowd cheered and they went off stage.
I didn't know a lot about Kenta, and I wasn't going to pretend to, but I knew my sister and knew why she would fight so hard for this song, she would probably think of acting upon it too if she knew what was going to happen, but Kyoya, for even considering it, was a completely different story. I knew he loved her, that was obvious, but if he had to, if it was the only way he personally could be with her, would he leave all of his family's money, if he had to choose between his family's wealth and her, would he choose her? Would she even be a consideration?
"Kyoya?" I asked. He looked at me. "Would you do that?"
"Do what?"
"What was in the song, if that was the only way you could be with her, would you do it?"
Kyoya looked at me confused, "It's just a song, Tamaki."
"Think about it, Kyoya." I told him as the next performer went on, leaving him to his thoughts. It was a hard decision to make and it was hard to say how long he had to think about it.
