Chapter 8
As the hands of the clock whizzed by, Natsume scribbled conscientiously, writing out all that she knows.
"Stop all writings…put down your pens and NO talking while I collect the paper" The teacher said.
The teacher walked down the lane, collecting Natsume's paper, with Sasuke's paper behind.
(A/N: As Uchiha and Uzumaki are quite close alphabetically, so they are sitting a desk apart)
"So…how did it go?" Sasuke asked.
"I think it went well…for once I think I will ace!"
Sasuke just gave a thumbs up, Natsume responded with a "v" sign by the side of her right eye.
"Arigatou Sasuke-kun" Natsume said.
"What for…this is what friends do!"
Natsume smiled.

A week later…
"I'm handing out the papers now, please check for any mistakes and double-check before returning the papers" The teacher said.
As the teacher handed out the results, Natsume trembled nervously with Sasuke beside her. Sasuke patted on her shoulder, hinting for her to relax. Natsume flipped up all her papers, peeking at them. Then her eyes widen in bewilderment.
"OH MY GOD…I ACED THROUGH…I ACED!" Natsume screamed in sheer happiness, hugging Sasuke.
He patted her on the back.
"I knew you could do it…" Sasuke said, winking.
"Next up class…keep quiet first…only after utter silence will I continue…" The teacher said.
The class quiet down quickly.
"Okay…the annual class play is about to commence in two weeks time, so I've decided to choose the play, Romeo and Juliet!" The teacher said.
"The male and female lead will be drums rolling Sasuke and Natsume!"
Immediately upon saying that, the class went into an uproar. Sounds of "BULLSHIT" and "STUPID TEACHER" resounded through the classroom. The teacher just placed his fist out as a sign to halt the noise, the class responded rather quickly.
Actually, Natsume was also hoping for the female lead to not be her as she knew that it would involve a kissing scene.
"No…tut tut…shush…I shall now pronounce thee, Juliet Capulet and you, Romeo Montague!" The teacher proclaimed.
A solid cry of "NOOOOO" reverberated through the classroom (includes Natsume).
"The first meeting will start tomorrow after school…class dismissed" The teacher said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, half the class (not all are required) stayed back at school, making their way to the choir room (cause it has the sound-proof thing so I think practices done there are more appropriate), the group includes Sakura, Gaara, Ino, Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba, and Rock.
"Thanks for joining in with us…sorry for dragging you guys in…" Natsume said.
"No problem…that's what friends do right?" Sakura said.
"Still…thank you all very much…"
The minute they step into the room, the teacher started yelling out orders.
"Okay…chop chop…no time you know…actors and actresses, follow me"
The teacher directed them to a corner of the room, and then began handing out the scripts to the different characters.
"Memorize the verses by hard, I must ensure that at least my batch will win for this year" The teacher said, with sparkling tears of ambition in his eyes.
"Okay teacher…relax…we will do u proud" Kiba, Neji and Rock chorused.
"Very well then…I shall entrust these duties to each you…show me what you all are made of!"
"YES SIR!" The group chorused.
Then they started packing their bags, preparing to leave the room, coming back on Monday to start the first actual rehearsal.
Later that night…
Sasuke dialed Natsume's house number.
"Hello…is Natsume in?"
"Oh…yup…speaking…you are Sasuke-kun right?"
"Yup…I want to ask you if you'd like to, by any chance, go out now…"
"Now? But it is already ten in the night!"
"Come on…you can afford it you know…its Friday night…"
"Hmmm…"
B/G : (Friday night
Baby are you sleeping
Friday night
My heart is still beating
It's alright
Open up your sleepy eyes
Come alive, come alive on Friday night)
-Friday night (The Click Five)
"Okay…but give me some time to change…"
"Sure…no prob…"
"Then meet you outside your house"
"Okay…"
"Jaa"
"Jaa!"
Natsume put down the phone and prepared to go out, screaming to her parents that she is going to go out. After getting a thumbs up from her parents, she began changing her clothes and putting up her make-up.
