The Rain Washes Away All Guilt

Chapter 3: Improv

Previously
-Yumi arrived at Kadic High where she found her friends at a bench near the vending machines, the same place they always were
-"You wanna know what's really exciting?" Odd said as he came up with his pockets stuffed with junk food and a bag of chips in his hands.
-"What?" Ulrich and Yumi responded in unison
-"The dance is tomorrow night."

>"Alright. Let's get to class then." They had first period together. While Odd went off to history and Jeremie and Aelita went off to Pre-Calculus, they went to drama. They walked in a second before the bell rang.

-----7:59am Friday-----
"Gee...wonder where you were..."

"Sissi, if you don't knock it off-" Yumi began to threaten before Mrs. Chardin walked through the door.

"Please take your seats students." Ulrich nudged Yumi to their seats so that she wouldn't get in trouble. He knew she'd fight Sissi any day.

"Today we're going to be working on improvisation skits. Who can remind us what improv is?" Hands shot in the air. Teacher's pets.

"Heidi."

"Improvisation is when you make up the scene on the spot."

"Very good. Now, who'd like to go first?" The same hands flew into the air. The same teacher's pets.

"Sissi...and...Ulrich." Ulrich's head shot up. Why was it that teachers always seemed to choose the people who didn't want to do something the most?

"I'd really rather not." Ulrich daringly responded to Mrs. Chardin.

"Well I'd really rather not fail you but if you don't get up here I will." At this Ulrich reluctantly got up and dragged himself to the front of the room.

"Alright...your scene is Sissi is ordering a meal at a fast-food restaurant and Ulrich is the server. However, she's ordering something the place doesn't have. Ok, quiet on the set," her way of telling the class to shut-up, "and, ACTION."

"Hello. I'd like some Diet Coke please."

"Sorry, miss, we don't have Diet Coke here...we sell Pepsi."

"I believe I asked for Diet Coke...not Pepsi."

"Look, do you want a drink or not?"

"Yes, but I asked for a Diet Coke."

"Yeah, and I told you that we sell Pepsi here."

"Fine. But maybe you and I should go out later for a Coke? Hm?"

"I'd really rather not."

"Don't you know who I am?"

"Apparently you're an idiot seeing as I had to tell you twice that we sell Pepsi not Coke."

"UGH! I believe you owe me an apology sir!"

"Well...sorry...we don't share the same beliefs." At this point everyone in the class was laughing their head off. It was Ulrich's chance to really sock it to Sissi without getting in trouble.

"We'll see how much service you get after this!"

"I think we'll live without the idiots ordering Coke."

"Jerk."

"Sorry, I believe you've mistaken me for a mirror."

"UGHHHH. You'll pay for this."

"I'm not the one ordering a drink here. Which reminds me. One Diet Pepsi. Will that be all for you today?"

"AND CUT!" Mrs. Chardin's way of saying, 'That's enough...we don't want to start a riot.'

"You may return to your seats, Sissi, Ulrich. Excellent job." Ulrich walked back to his seat next to Yumi who was trying to keep from laughing.

Just then the bell rang and the class gathered their things up and left.

"ULRICH!"

"What now Sissi?" He said irritated, knowing who it was without having to turn around, though he did.

"That skit was some good acting. I think we all know that's the opposite of how you really feel!"

"By we all...do you mean your imagination...or the insane part of you deep within your mind?" Ulrich turned away from the now fuming Sissi.

Him and Yumi walked down the hall to go meet up with Odd, Jeremie, and Aelita for their next class, Chemistry.
