Love is Blind, Right?

Chapter 5

Acting parts Of destiny

A few weeks, Eve's P.O.V

So far, classes are shockingly fun. Elsword and his buddy have been calm since that so called 'delightful' food fight. I still get glares, there irritating but tolerable. I'm in cooking class, were working on a new project and guess what?

''Alright class,'' speaks the teacher. ''The project is to bake a wonderful sew flay. You are partnered up with the person next to you. If their is an extra person without a partner, you are free to join a group of two.''

That's right, Elsword-who's in almost all my classes- sits next to me. Oh and we have an extra person joining us, Pikachu boy! Perfect. I sigh as he eagerly pulls up a seat and high-fives Elsword. I roll my eyes.

''So, what do we do first?'' Asked Chung, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

''I suggest we stir the batter.'' I say, turning the mixer on. While it was going, Elsword cracked eggs into it while I poured some sugar, following the instructions. So far so good, maybe we can actually get through this.

''Guys, we gotta make this the best dish ever. So, why not add some spice to it?'' Me and Els looked at Chung in confusion.

''What are you talking about?'' Asked Elsword. Chung looked down into his pocket and slowly pulled out a glowing chemical test-tube.

''I swiped this from chemistry class. I'll pour it in and give it a little kick, easy A right?'' He said with a smile. Is he serious? I mean how stupid can you-

''Chung, your a...GENIUS!'' smiled Elsword.

''You idiots! That sounds like a terrible idea!'' I say. They simply snort at me and continue with there plan. Chung poured the glowing chemical substance into the mixing batter bowl. I would say something, but what exactly? Oh I know, My partners are being idiots teach! You might wanna stop them!

Yet, I just stare and look, still shocked to how far their stupidity could go. Once it was in, they stirred and poured it in the square pan, ready for baking. They placed it in the oven.

''Watch and learn princess.'' Said Chung, nudging me. Alright, when did I acquire this 'princess' nickname? Moments passed as it stayed in the oven and I took a peak.

''Guys, our sew flay is looking a little, green...'' I say. It looked like as if it were pulsing as the heat in the oven hit it per second.

''Your just delusional! Let me see!'' Said Els, pushing me out of the way. Chung looked as well. ''Yeah, it doesn't look to good..'' Said Chung. FINALLY, a bit of common sense from the peanut gallery. ''Lets speed up the cooking! That may help.'' I face palmed myself. I stand corrected. God, why must I work with these Idiots? As we looked into the oven, now it was on full blast, it was only getting worse.

It was growing bigger! I backed away and hid behind a chair while Elsword and Chung kept tapping the oven. Then, it happened.

*KABOOOOOM*

The chair could not protect me, I gazed at my hands and clothes and felt a sticky substance in my hair. The sew flay has exploded. I'm covered in chemical cake batter! I walked over to Elsword and Chung, seeing them covered up as well.

''Chung,'' Started Elsword in a serious tone. What is this? Will the punk of an Elsword actually yell at his best friend? Growing a brain for once and taking credit for his actions?

''That, was, AWESOME!'' He yelled. I sighed, I knew it was to good to be true. The idiots gagged in laughter while the principal slowly walked up to us. Was I that distracted to the point where I didn't even notice a yelling teacher, the entire class staring at us and now having the principal here in this classroom?( Not yelling yet, I might Add)

''Siegheart, Altera, Seiker! My office, NOW!'' She screeched into our ears. So deafening! We jolted up in marching form position, following her with our heads down. Fabulous, I wonder what's in-store for us?

- Principals Office -

''N-no, please! ANYTHING but that!'' Pleaded Elsword.

''Don't, don't make us do it! PLEASE!'' Cried Chung. Principal Allets smiled wickedly and laughed.

''Sorry boys, that's just how the cookie crumbles.'' She said. Ok, this is ridiculous! Here we are, covered in cooking batter, just got yelled at and our punishment is to be in an upcoming school play? I'd take that over detention. So long as I don't have to do any main parts. Yet, why the hell are these idiots complaining!? I could think of worse things, like being expelled, or banned from an entire school(Trust me, you do NOT want to know why or how that could've possibly happened).

''So, when do we start this 'cruel' punishment?'' I asked.

''It starts next week, a casting of after school rehearsals. The play will be explained by Miss Ranger. Our schools new drama teacher.'' She said while pacing around her desk. Why does that name sound familiar? Oh, I think she's that blonde lady from my first day here.

''Expect big leading roles you three. I'm making sure she gives them to you.'' She then points to her door. ''Clean yourselves up and get back to class!'' We practically ran out of her office and rushed to the restrooms. I sighed, thinking how I could possibly get this gunk out of my hair and clothes. Well, another 'fun' story to tell Apple.

- Tuesday, After school In the Theater-

''Hello young and vibrant ones! Welcome to the after school drama club! I am your amazingly, lovely new drama teacher, Miss Ranger.'' Said the happy blonde haired lady. Same one from the first day of school. As promised(more like forced), I was present. I fondled through my hair as I noticed the people who were here.

Chung and Elsword of course, The mega hottie mechanic Raven, a few other kids along with Ara and Aisha. Aisha was here because of Raven. Ever since that Food fight, She always follows me to my last period class. She constantly asks him about cars and mechanical stuff. What amazes me is that her last period teacher never cared to question her, let alone let her out of class! (I later found out that she has drama class as her last period, go figure?)

When I told Ara I would be in the play, her eyes sparkled in joy and she immediately jumped up and said ''I wanna be in it too!'' She then questioned me nonstop until I told her to just show up on the day it starts. Regardless of everything, parts for me, Elsword and Chung were set in stone. Whatever those parts may be for the play.

''Alright everyone! The theme for this years play is ''Battle for Juliet!'' Yelled the drama teacher. Oh God, please, kill me now!

''Miss Ranger?'' Asked Ara. ''Um, Is this different from the original Romeo and Juliet?''

''Yes Miss Haan! It will have a spin-off battle for Juliet's love! Romeo verses Oemor! A singing solo from Juliet! Ah! So much will happen!'' She said with glee. Did she just create a character using Romeo's name backwards? She pulls out a clipboard and starts to speak while reading it.

''Casting as Juliet is Eve Altera, Romeo-Elsword Siegheart, Oemor-Chung Seiker~!'' The boys ughed. Ara jumped for joy while Aisha gave one low clap. How adorable, she cares. That or she's happy Raven wasn't chosen as Romeo. I notice that he's not even listening to Miss Ranger! He's zoned out, staring at the stage lights and props on the stage. What a space-cadet. With clipboard in hand, she assigned the other parts, checking off names one by one.

=.=.=.=.=.=..=.=.=..=.=.=..=.=..=.=..=.=.=.=.=

''Alright everyone! We will start practice today~!'' Great, she hands us scripts and tells us to start setting up things. I watch as everyone moves, getting whatever they can. Raven jumps on the stage while Ara and Aisha follow like adorable puppies. Aww, what a sight. As I start to look around for what I could do, I realize something that makes my stomach churn. I might have to kiss one of those idiots!

I shuttered at the thought. Especially, knowing it could be my first kiss...I walked up to Miss Ranger.

''So, um, what will the play be about, exactly?'' I ask.

''Well, it will be the romance of Romeo and Juliet. Yet, Romeo's brother; Oemor will Also fall for Juliet. With her heart torn between the two, they fight to win her heart. Yet who will win? Who will be Juliet's lover? Oh the drama, the passion! I can't wait to see it all come together~!'' She chimed which caused me to regret asking. She then sighed and spun around like a ballerina.

''I can't take it anymore! We have to get you and the other leads into character now!'' And so, she summoned me and the other leads, telling us how to get in to character. For me, how to be one with Juliet, that I AM Juliet. That I was born to be Juliet! A tragic teen who finds love out her balcony window. At least, that's what I think she wants me to understand.

She looked at the time and dismissed us. She told us to start practicing our lines. We meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As I start to dread what I'm doing, I remember something, Apple. When I told her about me being in the play, her reaction was priceless. I forgot how much she loved plays! Ok, now I have a new motivation! This will no longer be a punishment, but a present for my sister. Even if it means I might have to kiss one of those idiots. I walk out of the theater with my nose in my script.

- Normal P.O.V -

''Oh, to castle doors that chain me, Oh to be bounden away...'' Eve says aloud as she walks home from school. She sighs as she looks over her script. Realizing how much she has to memorize. Yet, she shrugs it off and remembers its for Apple. She yells more lines but with passion.

''Yo! Princess! Your going to scare customers away!'' Yelled a voice. Eve turned around, seeing Elsword, staring angrily at her. Eve didn't realize she was passing right passed the bakery.

''Uh, sorry...'' She said lowly. His face softened from hearing her. She then had her own angry face. Realizing she said that so natural, especially to him!

''You better remember your lines!'' She yelled. She stuck her tongue out and ran away.

Elsword's P.O.V

I stare in confusion as she runs away. What the hell was her problem? I swear, she act like a little kid! I grunt and walk back inside the bakery. I look around, checking on the baked goods. Yet, my mind wonders back to her. I stare without her noticing, wondering what her problem is. I never met a girl like her. Slapping me, talking back to me, fighting back at me! What makes her tick?

I get flustered just thinking about it! She's such a pain! It's her stupid fault that I have to be in this play. Ok, maybe it was Chung's. BUT it's her fault for that food fight! Ok, maybe that was my fault but, still! UGH! Why can't I think of anything else mean to think about of her!

''Stupid girl..'' I mummer as I sit down at the counter.

''So, Els, was that your girlfriend again?'' I hear my big sis question as she wipes the counter down.

''What?! No way! She's just some thieving...princess.'' I say and scoff. Yet, I wonder why would she steal stuff? She seems like one of those rich kids who try to live normally in the suburbs or something. I bet she steals for kicks, and makes fun of people who struggle! Or something like that.

''Hee! Your such a dummy!'' She said in a chuckle and ruffled my hair. What the hell is so funny? I roll my eyes and walk over to the sink to wash the dishes.

''No little brother, I'll clean and wash the dishes. Go home so you can get your homework done.'' She said this while practically pushing me out of the shop.

''But-''

*Slam!*

With that, she shut the door on me and locked it! I sighed and started walking down the street with my hands in my pocket. Annoying older sister. As I walk, I started thinking, remembering what 'she' said...

'You better memorize your lines!'

I stop, feeling a tiny light-ball ding in my head. I know how to get to her. She's obviously annoyed by me, so I could hang around her by using the excuse of practicing! Perfect! She'll probably get so mad, she'll transfer to a new school! Ha! Elsword, your a genius! I walk faster towards my house with a smile on my face. Oh! Yeah, forgot that she's an evil little thief! Why couldn't I think of something mean like that earlier?

Eve's P.O.V, The next day...

Ah Man! Another day. I stretch-out to the bright sky as I walk down the side-walk, heading to school.

''Oh Romeo? Where arth thow Romeo?'' I say out loud in a yawn. I feel so tired this morning, considering Apple was on me constantly about my lines! Cheering me on till midnight last night. So annoying, yet she still manages to wake up earlier before me!

Oh boy, I'm passing by Els bakery. I'm frequently looking over there almost everyday and I have no idea why. Is it the fresh-baked goods that enchant me? I close my eyes to avoid seeing the goodies, can't stop today. I'm on a mission of focusing, to learn my lines and do well in the play.

''Oh Romeo, Where arth thow?''

''I am here, young Juliet!''

I quickly open my eyes realizing Elsword is right in front of me! I jump back and try to slap him, yet he blocked it by grabbing my hand.

''Nice try.'' I growled and took my hand out of his.

''You dummy! Why would you scare me like that!?'' I yell, feeling out-raged. He smirked.

''Hey, your the one who said 'You better know your lines!' Why not practice with you, my lead Juliet?''

That, devil! What is he trying to prove? I stare and he holds his wicked smile and gaze. A starring contest is in motion. Yet, it only took seconds as I see them sparkle. SPARKLE! Practically making me blink! Why would his crimson eyes sparkle? I sigh and roll my eyes, knowing he won our little stare-off.

''Fine.'' I started walking around him and he slowly followed behind me.

''Oh by any other name, upon which we call a Rose.'' He yelled, right, in my ear! I swear, Elsword will be the death of me. I slowly followed along and said my parts aloud. We did this until we reached the school. Yes, finally! I can get away from him. Even if it's just for minor seconds!

''Well, I have a locker to visit. Goodbye!'' I say, walking faster into the building.

''Ok, just don't forget, we have practice after school!'' He yelled, chuckling. Dam him! It's bad enough I have him for just about all my classes, yet he has to remind me about after school!? If he thinks his obnoxiousness is going to get to me, he's got another thing coming! I will play my own game, annoying him with my lines! We'll see who caves in first.

=.=.=.=.=.=.=..=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=..=.=.=.=.=.=

A few weeks pass and I know most of my lines. Believe it or not, Elsword's annoyance is actually helping. I walk down the street and he immediately jumps out from the bakery, saying some random line. Trying to confuse me. Yet I know everything he says and can retaliate. HA! I leave him stunned all the time. I feel totally accomplished. Unfortunately, my good mood turns sour when I sit in math class.

The teacher hands me my test from a week ago. What grade is on it? A big old fat 'F'! I've been so distracted memorizing my lines that, I've forgotten about my other classes. Especially math! I hate math! Of course it's mocking me with this little wake-up call. Oh the torture. After class, I walked up to the teachers desk and asked her what I could do to make up for the test. I wish I could wait till the next one but If I don't pull this math grade up now, I wont be able to act in the play. EVEN though it's part of my punishment! Darn you grades!

''Well, you can retake it, but I suggest that you prepare for it first.'' She said, stacking paper after paper in order on her desk.

''Um, how?'' I asked, feeling dumbstruck for asking that.

''Tutoring in the morning. There is one student who is fantastic at that and loves helping. Meet him first thing tomorrow morning.'' I bow then head to my next period class.

(A/N) -Reviews are always welcomed~! :3 Also, YUSH! I know, those are probably not exact lines from the play! XD
