Alright, remember the chapter at the assembly and Usagi's a freshman and Mamoru's a senior? Well, we're returning to that. XD Enjoy!
Disclaimer applies.
I couldn't believe it. I got into the the show! The first few rehearsals had gone by swell, but today I was extra nervous, and annoyed. Mamoru unfortunately got into the same play as me, as there were a series of 6 short plays in one show, and in this one they played a couple on their first date. I read the script, and the play ends with a kiss. I am NOT happy about this one bit.
I have to kiss Mamoru.
OF THE 50 PEOPLE THAT AUDITIONED FOR THE PLAYS, I GET STUCK WITH HIM!
Fate was cruel.
Very cruel.
Our play was next on the stage, and I quickly grabbed my script and entered stage left. We read through the lines until the end scene came.
"Uh, do you want us to actually kiss?" I asked, looking at the italics in my small book and how they instructed me to be kissed by him. What's worse is that these 6 plays are student directed, and Mina happened to be my director.
"Please? I want to see what it looks like. If I don't like it, we'll switch to a kiss on the cheek, or a hug."
I inwardly groaned. Mina's actual reason is that she thinks I like Mamoru- WHICH I DON'T!
So, I continued my line. Might as well get this over with and just get used to the idea of her setting me up with him by manipulating the situation and all, right?
My logic's bravado disappeared when he neared me. His face was coming closer to mine.
Closer…
And closer…
And closer…
And then…
Fireworks. Lights. Bells. Electricity.
These all came to mind as his lips met mine. But all too soon they were gone, and I tried not to frown.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he said his line.
"Yep!" I cheered, waving to him and then pretending to walk through a door and off stage right.
Claps were heard, and I reappeared on the stage with the other characters. Mamoru ended up standing next to me as Mina listed off everything we needed to work on.
"Alright!" we heard the drama teacher call the rest of the groups into the house, or where the audience sits. "I wanna get home, so pack up, and I'll see you guys tomorrow! Thanks, guys!"
I hesitantly walked off stage and slowly grabbed my bags.
Maybe being in this play wasn't so bad afterall.
I UPDATED!!
What do you think? I got my inspiration from the play I was just in!! And no, I didn't play in a play with a couple on their first date. I actually played a mom of a guy who's trying to save his theatre's production of Hamlet. It was pretty hilarious.
Oh, and I don't think that a school would put on a show in which two characters kiss. BUT I HAD TO WRITE IT THAT WAY. XD
REVIEW.
