"Me?," I said, pointing to myself to make sure she was talking about me.
"Maxx, go!" Vyrie pushed me, leaving me with no choice but to walk slowly towards Mrs. Clara.
When I looked around, I noticed that all of the students were staring at me.
"How come she is?"
"The role isn't right for her."
Embarrassed Because of what I had heard, I bowed and walked closer to the front until I reached it.
"And you're here," Mrs. Clara said cheerfully, holding my shoulder.
"Are you serious about taking over as Beauty, Ma'am Clara?" Ma'am Vein inquired, confidently.
"What's your issue with that?"
"No, no," replied Ma'am Vein quickly.
Ma'am Vein exited the stage and returned to her previous seat. She then took a piece of paper and walked back up to the stage, this time towards us.
"Here, You must master that as soon as possible." She handed me the paper she had taken, and I accepted it and looked at it right away.
"Everyone, pay attention because the play will be held next week after our former main character Seri was injured. Mrs. Clara wants Maxx to replace her, so we have no choice but to agree." Ma'am's vein is beginning to announce.
"There's no way."
"It has to be Seira."
"For the time being, you all are on lunch break, and we will resume practice later." She went on to say
Vyrie and I ate in the cafeteria with Kib, Klent, and Ryle. Renz hasn't been seen since he drove Seri to the clinic. Perhaps he is unaware that I am his new partner; I was wondering what his reaction would be. Vyrie stopped me as I was about to eat the food on my couch.
"Why?" I enquired.
"You must eat healthily as the new Belle in order to avoid gaining weight! Because Belle isn't overweight!" Vyrie said this as she removed the meat from my plate and replaced it with vegetables.
Tsk. She's a total OA.
Just be thankful that you have a good role; it's not like me I turned into a tree; in fact, I look better than you!" during our conversation, Klent responded angrily.
I'm not sure whether I'll laugh or be annoyed by what he said.
"Atleast you won't have a hard time; you'll just stand by. You're so OA!" He receives a response from Vyrie.
Because I don't eat like this, I can't eat the vegetable that Vyrie gave me.
"Vyrie look at the bird" she looked at what Kib said and I also looked out the window because of what he said.
"Where?, there are no birds tsk," Vyrie exclaimed as he looked up outside.
I averted my gaze and was surprised when Kib suddenly placed the fried chicken on my plate, so I turned to face him. He didn't look back and continued to eat.
"I've seen the bird; what's the matter with it?" Vyrie inquired of Kib.
"No, because it has wings." Kib retorted with a laugh. I laughed too.
"Are you insane?" Vyrie was irritated.
We continue to talk until...
"She isn't deserving to be belle."
"Look at her hanging out with heartrob boys to become famous as well."
"She looks more like a beast than she did in the film."
We became deafeningly quiet as a result of the conversations of the students around us.
"Don't worry about them, Maxx," Ryle said as he looked at me.
"Let's get out of here," Kib suggested.
Vyrie motioned for me to get up and leave, so I did. Because all of the students were staring at us, I bowed in shame. Nonetheless, I was complacent because I was happy with those with me because now I can consider them friends.
Today is the last day of practice, and tomorrow is the day of the event. Renz is also aware that I am his new partner. We started practicing a few days ago, and thankfully, the results were satisfactory, and it became easy for me to memorize the script.
The beast will transform into a human in the final scene. After that, we'll wrap up our practice and get ready for tomorrow.
The scene is that the beast is shot by those who rush at him.
[Acting Scene]
[Belle]: "Nooo !, beast!" I ran closer to Renz when he did his scene.
Renz breathing heavily.
[Beast]: "You came back." Renz starting to say his line.
[Belle]: of course I came back. I'll never leave you again.
[Beast]: I'm afraid. It's my turn to leave.
Ma'am Vein yelled, "Cut!" "We'll come stop right there. You did really great! That's all for today; you can go home and rest up for tomorrow."
Renz rose from his lying position on the floor and removed his costume. "You did great," he said as he approached me. "You, too," I complimented him. "Good luck for tomorrow," he said, and I smiled back.
I took a step closer to Mrs. Clara. "Ahm, Mrs. Clara," I said, and she turned to face me. "What is it, Maxx?" She inquired. "I don't know how to thank you, but please accept my gratitude for believing in me, Mrs. And thank you for choosing me" Sincerely, I said. "I didn't make a mistake in choosing you Maxx, you did really well," she said happily to me. "And don't worry about what you're going to wear tomorrow; I'll look after you," she added. "Thank you very much, Mrs." And we exchanged smiles. Mrs. Clara is extremely gracious. She is truly beautiful on the inside and out.
We all went out inside the auditorium. Vyrie and I were together. "Maxx do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?" She spoke up out of nowhere. "No, it's all right, I can handle myself." I give my response. She nodded and we said goodbye to each other.
