Mikan Behind Glasses [COMPLETED]

Chapter 11. Auditions

Mikan's Pov
~~~~~~~~~~~oOo~~~~~~~~~~~

Backstage there were dozens of chairs set up for us to sit in as we memorized our parts. I sat down in the chair with the number 25 on it and just sat there looking at everyone else.

Everyone were reading their parts over and over again not taking their eyes off of the sheet of paper. It kinda scared me even that they weren't even talking.

About three seats back of me I saw Luna who was sitting with her legs crossed as she glared at me. "What?" I asked. "What do you mean what? She said mimicking me on the last word. I squeezed my lips to a grim line and said, "nothing," I mumbled.

"What? Oh you're going to need to speak up especially if you're going to audition for this part, ugly." She said smirking and crossing her arms.

I wanted to punch this girl so bad, but I kept myself calm. Remember what grandpa taught you Mikan. "Try to be as nice as possible to any person because violence doesn't solve anything," I thought to myself breathing in and out slowly.

I smiled with the sweetest smile I could force out to Luna and said, "I said good luck, and I hope you get the part." Luna looked at me and gave me an angry face. "You're never going to get that role because I already got it," she huffed proudly.

"Why because you seduced the guy who's gonna pick the roles? Good for you." I replied not caring one bit. She looked at me and started to stand up ready to slap me but I saw her hesitate then sat back down not wanting to ruin her chance to audition.

Smiling that I finally had a victory I turned around directing my attention to a girl who just came out from her audition crying. With her friend comforting her. "It's alright, you'll do better next time," the friend said. But the girl who was still crying sobbed and said "b-but I wanted to be the princess with Natsume." I gagged at her response. Ew what the heck is with these girls wanting to be with that guy?

About 10-20 minutes later I heard Nodachi Sensei call number 25. I stood up from my seat, surprisingly not nervous and walked out into the stage.

The stage lights instantly blinded me for a second. But I soon got used to them. I saw everyone in the class sitting in the seats watching me. Some people snickered at the sight of me, but I just ignored them like usual.

I saw Natsume was sitting next to his friend Ruka in the front row looking at me with those Crimson red eyes. I saw Tsubasa, Misaki and Tono were giving me a thumbs up from the very back and my three friend mouthing words to me like "good luck." "Alright Mikan, I would like you to do your act now." Nodachi Sensei said snapping his fingers.

When I was done reciting my lines and acting I looked at the crowd and Sensei. Pretty much everyone's jaw was dropped except for Natsume's and my three friends. When Natsume met my eyes I saw him smirk at me. I glared at him.

"Mikan, I'm speechless," was all Nadochi Sensei said. Is it a good speechless or bad speechless? I thought. I hope I did well! "Alright, thank you for your time," I said and bowed. I left the bright stage and was backstage once again. Luna looked at me and said "that was a pathetic performance, I could do so much better," then she went back to her seat to wait her turn.

I huffed out of anger then continued back out. I was literally pounced on by Anna making me lose my breath a little, with Hotaru, Nonoko, even Tsubasa, Misaki, and Tono surrounded me. When Anna finally got off of me I was helped by Hotaru. "Mikan that was amazing!" Said Nonoko. "Yeah good job, little brat," said Tono. (It was my nickname from him and I hated it) I frowned at Tono but Tsubasa started messing with my hair, messing it up in the process. "Yeah! You were beautiful up there!" Said Misaki. I smiled and giggled at them.
