A/N: Sorry for the long update!
After our last period dismissed us we went to our lockers and placed our books and notebooks back. I see Magnus being excited for this play. Wait oh-shit! Before I could even open my mouth, Magnus hurriedly dragged my arm to the auditorium. Against my will I guess
"Good thing we're early" I heard Magnus said and we both went to the backstage. There weren't much people in here. I see Izzy walking to our direction with a script in her hand, She waved at us
"Oh look she showed up" I heard someone's voice at our back and we turned around. Jace
"Of course I showed up. Wouldn't want you to look like a lost puppy in stage" I said and passed by him
"Okay this morning you scolded me and Alec for flirting. Now it's time my turn to scold you two" Magnus said
"Actually he scolded you two for eating each others face's" I added but got hushed by Magnus
"Enough about that" Magnus said. We then heard someone's voice at the stage. We went to the side of the stage and saw Madame Dorothea. Such joy
"Don't tell me Madame Dorothea is handling the drama department this school year" I said
"Where are my Romeo and Juliet? Mr. Bane where in the starts are you?! Can you please get Mr. Bane" Madame Dorothea told some staff when Magnus went up the stage and called her attention
"Madame I'm here" Magnus smiled
"Good. Where are my Romeo and Juliet?" She asked
"They're here" Magnus said and motioned us to come up stage
"Mr. Herondale? Ms. Fray? I never knew you two like acting" Madame Dorothea said. I don't like acting. I hate it
"Are you sure these two can portray them perfectly?" I heard Madame Dorothea asking Magnus
"Of course Madame" Magnus sticked to his idea
"First rehearsal is next month. Don't screw up. You've got like three weeks to practice so I suggest you two practice with each other" Magnus said after talking to Madame Dorothea
"Izzy, the scripts please" Magnus shouted and Izzy came running to us with two thick scripts for us
"I never agreed to practice this many lines" I said and Izzy handed them to us
"Then you two better start practicing" Magnus said and went backstage. I was reading the script when I feel like pair of eyes was watching me. I looked up and saw Jace staring at me with a smile. I feel like there are thousands of butterflies flying around my stomach
"What?" I asked
"You look cute when you're stressed" Jace said. HOLD IT! He just said I looked cute. That's not normal I repeat that's not normal for Jace to say something like that. I don't know if I should enjoy the butterflies that are flying in my stomach or slap some sense into him. I chose to look surprise at him. Yeah I know it's not in the choices
"Whatever" My sense came to me and slapped his arm. We were watching the other casts practice in the stage while Magnus observe them
"Okay. Scene one. Enter Sampson and Gregory, of the house of Capulet" Magnus said while sitting in a director's chair.
TIME SKIP
"Okay enter Capulet and Lady Capulet" Magnus said and Maia and Jordan came up the stage as Capulet and Lady Capulet. I guess Madame Dorothea had a meeting so she couldn't direct right now leaving Magnus to be director
TIME SKIP
"Now enter Montague and Lady Montague" Magnus added. Simon and Izzy came up the stage
TIME SKIP
"Enter Romeo" Magnus said
TIME SKIP
After two scenes it's now my turn to go up the stage with Maia and our 'nurse'
"Enter Lady Capulet and Nurse" Magnus shouted
ANOTHER TIME SKIP
Good thing we had our scripts and it was just practice. I can't believe that this is only scene three and yet I keep on forgetting my lines already
"Okay cut! That's enough for today" Magnus said
"I never knew directing was that stressful" Magnus massaged his temples while Alec came to his side and massaged his shoulders
"You all did great!" Magnus said as he stood up from his seat
"We just need a lot of practice to perfect it" Magnus added and smiled
"Romeo, Juliet you two better start practicing cause your parts are almost coming up" Magnus said
"That's a wrap. We all should better be heading home" Simon said while Izzy was around his arms
"Yeah. I'm exhausted, My brain is bleeding for reading too much old English" Izzy said and rested her head on Simon's shoulder. We all were walking to the parking lot when Jace suddenly grabbed my hand
"Hey, so um, we should practice tomorrow after school. You know and maybe we could catch up with each other" Jace said. He's so cute when he's nervous. Snap out of it clary! You're falling for him. Great.
"Sure" I smiled and he smiled back
"Mind letting go of my hand now?" I teased making him realize he was still holding my hand
"Oh yeah sorry" He said
"That's fine" I smiled and walked to my car when we got the lot
A/N: Review please =)
