chapter Five 2
"Ah! I can take your place!"
"Get lost, I'm the only choice for the heroine!"
"I...I already know the heroine's lines by heart!"
As soon as Yamazaki Yuri finished speaking, many girls jumped out from the surroundings, and they all rushed to recommend themselves to Senior Dongyun.
So cunning! Actually, these girls all want to be the heroine. If this happens, they will want me to be kicked out immediately. How can they cooperate with me in rehearsal?
"Ming Chacha, what do you think?" Although Yamazaki Yuri's expression was still as pitiful, there was a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.
“Shut up!” Senior Dongyun glared at her angrily and was about to stand up for me. “This is obviously a trap! Cha Cha won’t…”
"I agree!" I said loudly, "but isn't this bet too unfair?"
I, Ming Chacha, will never avoid this challenge. Even if it is a trap set by Yamazaki Yuri, I will jump into it willingly.
"Why should I be expelled if I lose, but when you lose, only the girls don't cause trouble?" I took a step forward and looked directly into Yamazaki Yuri's eyes. "If you lose, you should also be expelled!"
If the tiger doesn't show its power, does she think I'm HELLO KITTY!
"Jono Star" is irreplaceable!
Two hours later.
"This...this, a piece of, a rose, not a daisy..." I stammered as I recited the lines.
What the hell was the line… What the hell was this scene… Looking at the anxiety flashing in the eyes of Senior Dongyun across from me, I could only feel cold beads of sweat on my head, sliding down my cheeks and into the collar of my uniform.
Oops, how come I never knew that my mind goes blank when I’m nervous?
"Cut!" Yamazaki Yuri, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She rushed to me and pushed me angrily. I was already as stiff as a piece of wood, and at this moment I fell straight to the ground with a thump.
"Ming Cha Cha, your acting is terrible!" Yamazaki Yuri looked down at me with a smug look in her eyes, "You also read the lines in a mess, the correct line should be 'The daisies sway, just like the scene when I saw you in my dream'!"
I sat on the ground, feeling as if there was a huge stone blocking my heart, making it heavy.
I looked up blankly and found that the other students who played supporting roles were also looking at me with contempt, as if they were saying with their eyes, "It's a waste of our time for someone like you to play the leading role"...
“Yamazaki, stop it!” Senior Dongyun pulled her away, helped me up and asked with concern, “Chacha, you didn’t fall, did you?”
Looking at his beautiful eyes that were faintly familiar, a sense of guilt rose from the bottom of my heart. In fact, compared to me, as the president, he should be under more pressure. After all, this international award is not a joke.
I lowered my head and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too stupid..."
"It's okay. I was even more nervous than you when I first went on stage! Just practice more and it will be fine." Senior Dongyun rubbed my hair, and his palms exuded a reassuring warmth.
However, others did not think so. A boy with light freckles on his face shouted anxiously: "President, the official performance will be in two days! How can we have the time to accompany Ming Chacha to familiarize herself with the script!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others couldn't help but burst out and started talking one after another.
"Yeah! Isn't it our time? I want to practice my part, too!"
"I'm so angry, I must have screwed up this time!"
"Although Yamazaki is a bit of a weirdo, at least she knows how to recite her lines..."
…
The discussions flooded into my ears like a tide , and every accusation they made, intentional or unintentional, was like a knife stabbing my heart.
" Hey! Shut up, all of you!"
Senior Dongyun was still arguing loudly with the members of the drama club about me, but I knew very well that they were right and it was me who let him down.
The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and the cold sea breeze blew through the glass window and hit me, making me feel cold and lonely.
"Stop arguing!" I shouted and everyone looked at me in surprise.
The room was so quiet that I could hear a pin drop. Everyone had a strange and wary look on their face. I involuntarily took a step back. Suddenly, my head made a buzzing sound and I didn't know what to say.
"What are you arguing about?"
At this moment, a familiar low voice came from somewhere. Although it was still so lazy, it was like a ray of light penetrating the twilight.
Ayano Yuu?
"It's Ayano Yu, Ayano Yu is here!"
"Ahhh! Prince Yuu!"
…
All of a sudden, the girls from the fan club became agitated, filling the already crowded room even more. They didn't bother to blame me and looked around excitedly to see where Ayano Yuu was. Even I was suddenly pushed into the corner by the window.
With a "bang", the glass door made a loud noise and the girls screamed and rushed over there.
"Ayano Yu! Give me an autograph!"
"I want to take a picture with you!"
…
I blinked, but before I could react, suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed my arms from behind, and then a warm breeze blew past my ears.
“Ming Cha Cha, follow me!”
I turned my head back suddenly. Ayano Yu was so cunning! He actually hid outside the window quietly. But if it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have been able to get away so easily!
Seeing that I was standing there without any reaction, Ayano Yu simply exerted his strength and lifted me up through the window. His strong arms were wrapped around my waist. For a moment, my heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
"Run!" He grabbed my hand tightly and rushed towards the flower field in the distance.
"Ah! It's Mingchacha... Mingchacha is running away with Ayano Yu!"
"Wait for us!"
Almost instantly, I heard the exclamations of those people behind me, and I silently rolled my eyes in my heart.
Do you have eyes? It's obviously this guy who's pulling me to run...
Whoosh—whoosh—
The wind whistled in my ears.
The white petals of daisies brushed my face. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on my head. But the hands holding me were so warm that they drove away all the coldness in my heart. I couldn't help but have an illusion that I could run to the ends of the earth like this, and I would be willing to do so...
I don't know how long I ran but the shouting behind me finally disappeared and I couldn't run anymore. The guy finally stopped.
"Huh... this, this... where is this place?" I gasped for breath, holding my stomach tightly, and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
I have to say, although I have known for a long time that Jono Gakuen was very big, I did not expect it to be so strange. There was actually a small red telephone booth built on the rocks by the sea. In the distance, dark clouds were spreading in the sky, and the wild wind blew up the corners of clothes, but this red glass-framed telephone booth stood firmly in the strong wind, lonely and helpless, giving people an unexpected feeling of touching.
Ayano Yu brought me here, did he know that I was very uneasy and wanted to encourage me?
Suddenly, a warm current rose from the bottom of my heart, like a pool of warm spring water, flowing over my cold and dry heart.
"How should I know?" Ayano Yu looked around and scratched his head. "I just didn't want to be caught by those nasty guys. Who knows how I got here?"
I take back what I said before. I think he is the most annoying person in the world!
"But you are too bad," he looked at me with contempt, "You were easily speechless, and you were out of breath after running a few steps."
In an instant, inexplicable anger replaced my feeling of being touched. Could I beat him?
"You're the one who told me to replace Yamazaki Yuri as the heroine. Otherwise, how could I be so tired..." But now, I really don't have the energy to argue with him. I waved my hands tiredly and sat down on the reef. "Hey, how big a grudge do I have against you? Why do you want to hurt me like this on purpose..."
"Mingchacha," Ayano Yu walked up to me, "No, I believe in you, you can do it."
His voice suddenly became low, not at all as lazy as usual. It was the first time I discovered that Ayano Yu's voice was so beautiful, gorgeous and magnetic, as if it had a magical power that could make people's hearts beat faster.
I raised my head and met his obsidian eyes, with countless stars flowing in them. Unlike senior Dongyun's eyes full of expectation, when Ayano Yu looked at me, his eyes were full of trust.
This guy really believes that I can do it...
