Chapter 8
It was another day of rehearsal and mom had decided to forced her self to drive me there so she could see the palace for herself. To my protest obviously but mom can be really stubborn some times. Kovu had to come along as well because he didn't like staying with the neighbors and didn't want to be left home alone either.
" mom are you sure you shouldn't be home working. I mean this look like too much stress for you." She was dressed like a 16 year old going on her first date with the leather jacket and ripped Jeans she wore. "I don't even know why you are in a leather jacket, it soo hot outside. Hence why i am mot wearing my hoodie right now, I am only depressed in leggings and tank top." Instead of responding She just spared me a glance and looked away.
I groaned and turned on the radio know that this was going to be as long as drive with my mom driving. Good thing we left home 1:30min earlier if not I would have totally regretted. Instead of brooding about how I didn't want my mom to come alone with me I brought out the script and went though the poem we were going to be working on today. The title of the poem was so appealing that I zoned out on my surroundings and focused on the poem which says
FROM HERE ON.
Hurry up my love.
Come be my warmth in human form.
Hurry up my precious dove.
Bring a little more of warmth with you to calm my chaotic storm.
For I see that little light , that shines so bright that it burns my eyes.
Remember when I met you.
I really wanted to hate you.
But look at me 12 days later, needing you like I have never needed you before.
Hurry up, Hurry up.
Come and be my forever after.
There is no use waiting.
For your my light, in the darkness night sky's.
You're my sun in the coldest winter.
You need to heat me up like a burning flame.
That is why from here on I'll keep loving you like there is no one else.
" Whoa!" I exclaimed after reading it like five times and finally understanding it on you the fourth time. Mom exclaimed saying the same Thing and I looked up on to see that we weren't the academy. "whoa!Kori!! I didn't not know this is where you have been doing the rehashal! why didn't you say anything" I shrugged in response getting down from the car it was 7:30am and I Need to be in the hall by 8am on dot.
I grabbed my back tied my hoodie around my waist and heading for the entrances. " okay hunny see You !" She yell when I didn't respond. I just kept working not bothering to look back, it wasn't me she will embarrass not when Griffen was heading for the entrance at the same time. " whoa short stack! I didn't know you had an even hotter twin sister that looks just like Bridget Anderson.
No way! is she by any change the actual Bridget Anderson that stared on the movie The Sun Is Also the Spark. Gawd I love that movie." I groaned in annoyance does this guy does not know when to shut up! In as much as I want to just pause and I lash out my frustration on him I decided to be matured about it by ignoring him. "Hello earth to Kori? are you related to Bridget Anderson or not? It's a simple yes or no question." We were at the doors of the hall where we do rehearsal now when i finally stopped to answer his ending lesson questions.
" you know what, yes we are related, we have the same same surname as proof and no, she is not my sister, she is my mother. There does that answer your question" I said in one breath Im My calmest voice ever as I glared at him. He just raised his hand In mocking surrender like he wasn't the reasons why I was upset. " what I was only curious." I gave him a fake smile before turning to open the door to find Raven and Jace waiting for us. " sorry we are late guys. Someone was just too curious to keep his questions to himself." I said glaring at Griffen but all he did was blow me a kiss and I visibly cringed at that.
" okay love bugs, glad you didn't break each others face on your way here. Ehen can we get back to the script.?" Jace said snapping us out of our glaring contest we looked at Him at the same time and it occurred to us we weren't the only ones in the room, we took our sit and i clear my throat "yes so, I went through this poem, the one we were supposed to rehears today and emmm, it's a bit urr." I stuttered going through the Poem one more time before speaking again. "Emotional? Raw? Truth?" That was Griffen's voice, it sounds raw and raspy and I was looking at me in that manner again, that manner that makes me go week in the keels.
"Yea, you are right. Let's get to the rehearsal part." We went though the poem one more and I acted my part as I began to fall into character. While I was acting it out I had no ideas Griffen was watching me the whole time. In as much as I wasn't so comfortable with ideas of Griffen's eyes on me — not like everyone else wasn't watching me, but the fact that Griffens eyes were, souly on me, it makes me so uncomfortable. Regardless i kept acting out each and every line each and every stanza of the poems bring it to lift with my acing skills till the very end of the poem.
" who that was intense! Ehemm Griffin what do you think. Griffen? Griffen? Griffen!!!" Jace practically yelled Griffens name to get his attention. Geez what was he thinking; did he actually get lost in thought while looking at me. He looked started by the way Jace yelled his name and I had to hold back the giggle. He was really lost in thought starring at me, I smiled looking everywhere else but him. " what do you think of her acting. I thing she did good. But you need to portray more emotion in stanzer 4." I took my script went through it and noted what he said. " yes, Um, Dude is right more emotions in stanza 4" With my eyes still on the script I just nodded and hummed in response.
We kept on rehashing especially that stanza 4 which I was finding difficult. It took a while but I finally got the hang of it and just when I was feeling proud of my self for the improvement Griffen just had to ruin my mood by saying "not bad Shortstack not bad at all." I glared at him my nose flaring in anger but I chose to contain it, instead I just picked up my back and walked out of there saying " I'm heading out for lunch I don't know about you guys."
