Ying Xuan sat down with a thump and held her head in her hands. She had just messed up at the same scene for the seventh time in a row.
Wei Jingyu knelt down beside her and said in a worried voice, "What's wrong Xuan? You were doing so good yesterday. Are you not feeling well?"
Ying Xuan looked up and stared at Jingyu. They had both perfected all their scenes together just yesterday and a that was left now was to co-ordinate with the rest of the actors. Only two days were left and every person had their part down, the only difficulty was that Ying Xuan kept messing up her parts everytime.
Shi Weiwei walked upto the two of them and said, "What happened Xuan? Please try to do a little bit better. We have to perform in front of my teacher just the day after tomorrow." She sounded tired as Ying Xuan looked up.
"She's doing her best Weiwei. I don't know what's wrong? Xuan was doing so good yesterday." Wei Jingyu said, leaning over Ying Xuan.
Shi Weiwei sighed and said loudly, "Take a break everyone! We'll begin again after a few minutes."
Everyone in the big empty classroom they were practicing in groaned as they scattered away. Ying Xuan signed, 'That's enough Weiwei. Everyone's tired. We've been practicing the whole day today. They have to study for their exams too.'
Shi Weiwei bit her lip and deliberated before she gave up. "Fine. Everyone! This is enough for today."
There was happy murmuring in the class when the door suddenly flew open. Su Shaoyan burst in, yelling, "I just got the dresses. Everyone, it's time to glam up!!"
Though the students still had not accepted Su Shaoyan completely, they were opening up to him. There was excited murmur as Su Shaoyan walked over to the three of them in the middle. "So Xuan, your dress looks perfect!! I just can't wait to see you in it!!!!" he exclaimed.
Ying Xuan forced out a smile before hanging her head again. Su Shaoyan frowned as Shi Weiwei sat down, cross legged. She said, "Fit the others first Shaoyan. Xuan amd Jingyu can wait a moment."
Su Shaoyan nodded and motioned to the other students to follow him to the adjoining classroom, which he had made into dressing rooms for everyone.
As all the people bustled out of the class, Shi Weiwei looked gloomy, "I'm sorry Xuan." She said in a small voice.
Ying Xuan and Wei Jingyu looked at her, very surprised. 'Why are you apologizing?' Xuan signed.
Shi Weiwei: "I shouldn't have forced you to act."
Ying Xuan hung her head as Wei Jingyu piped in, "What are you talking about? Xuan is perfect for this role. And she was doing so good yesterday!!"
Shi Weiwei looked up as Ying Xuan signed, 'I'm really not cut out for acting. Sorry Weiwei, for spoiling such a good play.'
Shi Weiwei forced out a smile, "Don't worry. I know you get stage fright. Just.....try to focus on something and not think about the people okay?"
Ying Xuan nodded as Wei Jingyu offered her his hand, "From the top?"
