Kikyan's POV
It was my last class when the teacher suddenly called me.
"There's a quick drama meeting so you may leave early. Also, can you also get Mr. Yanase?"
Oh yeah, he's now going to help be in charge of drama… "O-Of course." I replied and left the classroom.

(KNOCK x2)
"Enter."
"Here I go…" I muttered and walked in. The whole class stared at me, but I ignored them.
"Yes Miss. Kikyan?" Riki asked with a smirk.
I swallowed nervously. "Mr. Yanase, there's an urgent drama meeting…"
"Oh alright." Riki stood from his seat and said to the class. "Behave while I'm gone, or else."
"Oooh! I should be bad so then he would come and punish me…" One girl sighed and clasped her hands.
"I heard that." Riki said with a serious tone and the girls 'oohed' more. "Let's go Kikyan." He gently placed his hand on my shoulder and guided me out. I felt daggers on my back as Riki and I left quickly.
"Nice going." I sighed as he closed the door.
"What's up?"
"Because of your… Gesture, a bunch of daggers were shot at my back."
"Really? Where?"
"Ugh!"
"You know I'm kidding."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I don't like that attitude missy."
"Suck it up."
"Hmm…" Riki turned me around and made a suggestive smirk.
"LET'S GO!" I blushed deeply and practically ran away, leaving Riki to chase after me…
Hiro's POV
"What's taking them so long?" I glanced at my watch. I've been waiting for Riki and Kikyan for 10 minutes… Well… My class is closer to the auditorium so I guess I could wait a little longer.
(BAM)
"HERE!" Kikyan and Riki panted as they ran towards me.
"Heh." I smirked. "Ran out of breath? Did you have to rush here in the middle of your 'session'?" I chuckled.
"NO!" Kikyan exclaimed flustered.
"Well, anyways… The student council president is going to announce something." I explained as a tall girl, with a red bow on both sides of her hair, walked to the front. Her name was Chiharu Tama. She is one of Kikyan's best friends. (She looks like Chikaru from Strawberry Panic. Also what she wears is the school's uniform...) She was the first girl to talk to Kikyan and now they're pretty much besties… She already has a fiancée but he doesn't come to this school…
"Hello everyone!" Chiharu happily waves. "I'm sorry for calling this unexpected meeting, but I have a few things I would like to say… First of all, because the drama head left early for maternity leave, she won't be able to come back for this play..."
"WHAT?!"
"But… We now have a new teacher who will take her place until she can return. Please welcome, Mr. Yanase. Please come up."
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
"Go Riki." I nudged for him to walk up.
"Thanks. I'm Mr. Yanase for those of you who don't know me." Riki started. "I may not be as good as the previous head of drama, but I promise I'll do my very best to fulfill what she started."
"WOO! Go Mr. Yanase!"
"He's pretty popular." I said to Kikyan who nodded with a bright smile on her face. "You're not worried that he might like someone else? Oh wait, that's impossible since he did had sex with you on his desk not too long ago." I smirked and she instantly turned beet red.
"H-Hiro! Don't say that out loud!"
"Who can hear?" My smirk got wider. "With all of this cheering? I doubt it."
"Ugh…" She playfully rolled her eyes at me.
"Also." Chiharu started and everyone went silent. "For the rest of this hour, we will do auditions."
"What play are we doing?" One asked.
Chiharu happily clapped with a wide smile. "Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare."
"Oh my god! I'm so excited!"
Everyone started bursting with excitement. In the corner of my eye, I saw Kikyan looking nervous.
"You're nervous?" I asked and she nodded shyly. I smiled. "Kikyan, you'll do great. I promise. Be confident. Who knows? Maybe you'll be Juliet."
"Haha, as if… My acting may be horrible."
"You'll never know unless you try." I held her hand. "Make Riki fall in love with you all over again." I whispered and she started giggling.
"I'll try Hiro, thanks."
Third POV
"NEXT!" Chiharu exclaimed as one girl nervously walked away. Chiharu was testing the girls first to find 'Juliet'.
"Geez, so demanding Chiharu." Hiro chuckled as he leaned on her judging desk.
"Sorry… But I only accept the perfect ones. No offence." She replied with a funny look. "I do not want to disappoint the head."
"I see I see… So what if they did well?"
"Then I call for the next one. At the end, I will announce who gets what."
"I see."
"How's it going?" Riki asked as he sat in his seat that was next to Chiharu.
"Pretty well Mr. Yanase. I'm just doing the girls first… Do you wanna do the guys?"
"Um…"
"Or would you rather watch for this one?" She must've sensed it because he slowly nodded.
"Sorry about that…"
"It's fine. Next is… Kikyan Nigihayami!" Chiharu smiled as Kikyan walked forward with her script in hand. "Alright, I want you to act out the part where Juliet is like, 'O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?' Got it?"
Kikyan's POV
"Alright." I slowly inhaled and exhaled. Truth was, I memorized a good majority of the play, and I guess I'm just nervous acting it in front of people… Hope I do well… I got it! I'll pretend I'm talking to Riki! Alright, here goes nothing… "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet."
"!" Everyone just stared at me. Ohh… Did I do that bad? Everyone was wide-eyed speechless. Chiharu quickly recovered. "Thank you Kikyan." She smiled and I left the stage. "Next please." I heard her call out.
"I hope I did alright…" I muttered to myself nervously and waited til the auditions were over…
Riki's POV
All of the auditions were over and everyone was called to gather on the stage.
"ALRIGHT!" Chiharu clapped loudly to get everyone's attention. "I would first like to thank everyone for being in drama. The roles are all decided and will be up by the time school is over. List is outside! Thank you!" She waved and everyone dispersed.
I looked around for Kikyan once everyone left the auditorium. "Kikyan!" I smiled as I watched her elegantly walking over. "Hey darling." I smirked to hide my blush.
"D-don't call me that! T-That's embarrassing!" She exclaimed and looked away.
"Heh." I chuckled and picked her up bride style. Then slowly spun her around.
"KYAH! RIKI!" She wrapped her arms around my neck and I took that opportunity to kiss her. "Mmm…"
I sighed and sat her on the stage. "You did great."
"I totally did not; all of you looked at me funny." She blushed and looked at her hands.
"That doesn't mean I didn't like it." I smirked and leaned closer.
"Can I look at the list?" She asked as I pecked her on the lips.
"Sure, I wanna see it too." I replied.
"Kikyan! Can I talk to you about something?" Chiharu waved her over.
"Go ahead. I'll take a picture of the list for you and show you when we get to LRN." I said and gently nudged her forward.
"Kay, thanks Riki." She whispered and secretly blew me a kiss, then ran over to Chiharu.
I waved to those two and left.
/ / /
"Here's the list…" I said as I started taking out my phone when some names caught my eye. Wow! Kikyan's Juliet. That's wonderful. My smile faded when I stared in shock at the name next to hers. "Romeo… Is…" DAISUKE?!
What do you think? :)
