[u]Cont. / NINE[/u] [quote]"For the play, we are going to portray the exceptional Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. It doesn't require much costume so we chose it. Contacting much civilized places will be longer than we think. Maybe two weeks or so. While killing time, we'd just present this play. Everyone will have a task, alright? Miss Margaux will be the one who'll assign what you'll do.. For now, you may do what pleases you. But mind you, no going out of the premises of my home. Clear?"[/quote] Haay. I want to go home naaa. I'm so bored. Lalo pa na walang phone.. How sad. "Sammy.." "Yep?" It was Niyanne. I'm on our bed, sitting while staring outside at the same time. "Whatcha doing?" "Nako.. Obyus.. Sittin' and starin' darlin' Nee.." "Hehe. Patawa ako noh. Sorrey. Hay.. I miss home.." "Me too.. Hay.. Asan sina Sabelle and Phoebe?" "Oh, downstairs, nakikiusyoso kay Miss Margaux kung sino mga characters. And for sure, si Jarell na si Romeo.." "Malamang si Abbie niyan si Juliet." "Cheh, don't say bad words Serena!" "Hahaha. Serena ka dyan. Sama mo tlga, close to artista na rin yun kaya sigurado lang siya na." "Hello?? Ikaw nalang kaya. You did a play once right? Ikaw pa yung bida nun." "Heh.. Ano ba, ayoko nga. Yeah, that was like a year ago. At iba naman yun, Tinkerbell ako nun. Eh ngayon, seryoso kaya." "Mah dear, kaming bahala sayo.. Baboosh. :)))" May pakindat kindat pang nalalaman ah. "Hoy! May binabalak ka atang masama?? Balik ka ditooo... Nee!" I ran after her. Pero carefully habang pababa. Nako, baka di pa ko makauwi noh. I stopped at the terrace where most of the girls are. Girls with expectant and annoying faces. Except my friends, though. :D Some bothered to look at me. While others, seemed irritated. Haha, mga gagad kaya. Why don't they wait? :) I saw one girl from the other school who was headcounting. Sorry, forgot her name. "Miss M! We're complete na, maliban po sa mga lalaki pero they sure have roles na." "Oo nga po! Could we know the roles already??" "Oo nga!" "Okay, alright, girls. Where should we start? Hmm.. Lady Montague.. Sabelle. Lady Capulet.. Bea. The guys will have the roles. Some girls will serve as guys too.." "Awww.." They whined. Tumabi ako kay Phoebe and asked her by raising my eyebrows. She just shrugged and smiled. "The nurse will be... Blah... Blablabla.... Blalalalah...." All I could hear are blahs. I'm waiting for my name. And why isn't it mentioned yet?? Wait, whoa, I don't want to be an outcast.. I want to be part of the play too! "So, who else aren't mentioned?" Miss M asked. "Me." Abbie said. "Ako rin po." I followed. Then suddenly, Jarell and the other guys were arriving. "Hi Sam." He said. OMG. I was shocked. I mean, yeah, I could sense we're kinda close or something but.. to recognize me in front of everyone else?? Did I say JUST ME?? Okay, never mind. :)))) Everyone else (minus my friends and Abbie and Bea, I think?) looked at me sourly and bitterly. Well, I didn;t notice much. Who cares. :P "Hey." I bothered to say. "Miss M, if Jarell's Romeo, who's going to be his Juliet?" His BFF, Vien, asked. "I could- " Abbie started to say. Shockingly, again.. Jarell said.. "Can it be Sam?" "Uhhh.." Miss M looked at Jarell to me to Abbie. Whoa. WHOA. I'll be Juliet? Hey, how about HER? "There's another vacant role, Dear. Rosaline.." Miss M said. Referring to Abbie. OMG. Hey, I know the story. Rosaline's just going to be in the beginning of the story. Nothing much. "Sure.." Abbie said. Forcing a smile.. Which made me guilty. Hey. I'm not stealing anything from her right? Jarell chose me so it's kinda his fault. Abbie should be mad at him. Not me, right? Tsk.. I feel dizzy.. Aw.. I lift my hand to my head.. "Okay ka lang, Sam?" Phoebe asked. "No.. I feel dizzy.." "Tara Sam, I'll help- " Jarell said. No! I mean, no. Haha. Baka mamatay ako sa dagger looks ng mga tao dito. "No, no. It's okay.." I said lamely. "Sam, ako nalang. Wag kang makulet.." Rich said. Well, we're close friends actually. It's fine. "Fine.. Let's just get a drink and come back.." I clung to him while we headed to the kitchen.. Before we go, I heard murmurs. Tsh. Mga chismosa. Joke. I wonder what's Jarell Laoingco's reaction towards me declining him then saying yes to Rich? I just hope I'm still going to be his Juliet. ♥ Sort-of. :D
