Chapter 12 - Acting

"So, it can be said that speed here refers to..." the fourth lesson, physics lesson. I've long since stopped paying attention. With a teacher who is an old woman who is quite indifferent to her students, as long as they can answer questions if she asked. If not? She is crueler than any teacher. I've mastered the material she's currently explaining, and sensei didn't tell us to copy the questions on the blackboard either, so right now I can think freely.

With my right hand supporting my chin, I fiddled with the pen in my left while thinking about what happened earlier.

'I was reunited with Kawajima-san, and I forgot to ask where her class is. Haha... Stupid me. If so, how can we meet again? I think Kawajima-san must not know my class either. Unlucky... '

'the only thing I can do right now is just hope to see her again I guess. The best chance to meet hee is in the canteen, because the canteen is a place where students from all grades and classes mingle. But with so many students there, it made it hard for me to find her either. I need luck'

'Whatever. But, I have to remind myself to ask for her number if we meet again. After all, we're already friends. So that's fair right? I don't have any ulterior motives, of course. I just want to continue hanging out as friends with good people like her. '

'but... If we really ended up in a relationship, I guess that wouldn't be bad either I guess.'

I smiled gently, imagining if a day like that really happened. Since this is a world with an inverted sense of beauty, I definitely have a lot to gain. With no other competitors and an easier approach, what else do I have to complain about?

No. Stop thinking stupid things. What happens let it happen. But for now, I have to think about more important things.

The lime group that I just joined yesterday as a new member, we as new members were informed that we will have a practice session after school. If I was at a regular club, I shouldn't have to worry about anything. But the thing is, this is a drama club. The club that yesterday did something stupid with such audacity. Perhaps, among the senpais who appeared foolishly yesterday, they might be the children of a doctor, lawyer, and other big family. But seeing their behavior, I felt that the elite of this school was disappointed when faced with them.

And, what I'm afraid of is... what I'll act like when I practice acting. I really hope, and pray to the god up there not to make me do weird things like senpai did yesterday.

*ding dong deng deng!

Otto, looks like I'm daydreaming too much. Before I knew it, the last hour of today's lesson had ended. And the sensei of the physical lesson , after hearing the school bell, immediately went out of the classroom after speak a few words to us.

'the time has come'. It's after school time, to me, meaning it's time to attend the drama club. With all the equipment stored, and after I finished storing everything, I stood up and finished the front with a bit of administration.

"Toru-kun!"

At the front of the class, giving an advantage to my classmate named Asuka Joozu. She is the only student in this class who belongs to the same club as me. Yes, Joozu-san had also registered yesterday, and after finding out that we were in the same club, we decided to go together to the clubroom starting today.

"Hey Joozu-san, ready to go?"

"yes!"

Walking with Joozu-san beside me, we quickly arrived at the club room. Inside, there were only a few people who seemed to have just arrived.

"Hello"

"oh! Isn't this Toru and Asuka! Come here, I'm lonely just being with this girl~~"

"How dare you say that huh? Want me to make fried duck?"

"a-ahahaha, kidding! I was just kidding!"

As usual, the duo of Ichiba and Kazuki still got along very well. Smiling at their antics, I sat down next to them and started talking and telling jokes to each other. One by one, senpai and the other members started arriving, and after our leader, Akira senpai entered the club room, it was finally time for the club to start.

"hello everyone! As you know, today we will practice some acting practice. Here we seniors will see how your acting is to put you in the right place for the future"

"senpai!" hearing the explanation from the chairman, Joozu-san raised her hand up. Seems to have a question. 'Good, Joozu-san. ask him'

"Oh? What's wrong Joozu-chan?"

"What are we going to act?", finally the long-awaited question arrived. I smiled inwardly and waited for an answer to come from him.

"oh~~ yeah, we haven't told you guys what you're going to do yet huh? Hehe, you guys are going to be acting in a Happy Pottah story today. You know, those witches?"

"Oh, I see. Fine, thank you chairman"

"Hahaha, no problem. Don't worry, you won't be doing the things we did yesterday. For today, we will practice seriously"

"Okay, continue. Here, we have several roles. Starting from the main character, antagonist, supporting actor, and background player. Raise your hand if you want to play a role that I will mention one by one after this, understand?"

""""haaiii"""""

"Good. Then starting with the main character, Happy Pottah. Who wants to play this role?"

"Me! "

"Me Me! I can!"

"Me"

"Hmmm... Then Ichiba. You will be the main character" After thinking for a moment, he pointed at the person who looked the most excited. Who else but Ichiba the little girl.

"Wooho! Cool!" Ichiba jumped happily and smiled happily.

After that, the selection of roles continued with various supporting and antagonist characters. I myself was chosen to be the arrogant kid who is the rival of our protagonist Happy Pottah. Namely, Daraka Malfis.

Fortunately, things did go seriously according to what the chairman said. We read the script while modeling our characters on stage, everything went smoothly and to be honest, today's activities were really fun. I also really enjoy and find it easy when playing Daraka, especially when our protagonist looks like Ichiba, a little girl who is very easy to threated.

Time passes very quickly. I didn't realize it was getting dark. After finishing our training, several senpais started to assess and explain to us some of the advantages and disadvantages we have. After that, we were allowed to go home. And in a good mood, I went home with my club mates.

'Today was really fun, I'm starting to look forward to club activities later' I thought on the way home. Today is wednesday, club activities should be on tuesday, thursday and friday. But due to some circumstances, the senpais couldn't do it on thursdays, so yeah, we did today. Tomorrow there will be no club activities, so I have to wait the day after tomorrow for other club activities.

Note: I actually wanted to write about the part where they were acting, being a ridiculous chapter about a parody of a witch movie, but I thought that would be too long and slow. So I passed it -_-#
