A little Pain (BoyxBoy) --Chapter 14 onwards..

Romeo et Juliette

21.

"Uhh. Takeda-san and Miura-san."

There was an awkward silence inside our classroom when our names were picked.

"Oh shi--...Geez..." Our class president covers half of his face with his palm. "The two of you will play Romeo and Juliet on our school play."

The girls squealed of excitement. The guys on the other hand became hysterical. Everybody knows how close I am to Daiki. As what they all claim, we're couples but the truth is we are definitely not one. Their loud reactions made my heart thump and my stomach churn even more. I could feel cold sweat emerging from my skin. I feel anxious and awkward at the same time. The whole situation reminded me of Daiki's confession, and then again, it stirred back the confusing emotions inside of me.

"Yuki would really be soooo cute when he plays Juliet!!!!!" One of my classmates giggled of excitement.

In return, I only smiled at her.

"H-hey!! Since both of them are popular, why won't we add a kissing scene between the two of them?!?!" The other added.

Now I could feel myself blushing up until my ears. I wish I could just walk out of this embarrassing situation, but doing so would only make it worse—they would definitely think I'm guilty about everything. Secretly, I glanced at Daiki to see his reaction about this but unfortunately, he's sleeping with his headphones on. For sure, he doesn't have any idea what's going on.

"Hold on." Nanase stands up, proudly presenting herself for some reason. "I'm going to be the scriptwriter!"

"Nanase???" I stressfully replied.

She can't be the scriptwriter. She's a sadist. Who knows what scenes she would be adding to the play? For sure, she would definitely add a kissing scene. The question is, how many of it would she add???

"Okay then. It's settled." The president replies. "Nanase, you're the scriptwriter. Our lead will be Miura-san, who plays as Juliet and Takeda-san who plays Romeo. If you want to audition for the supporting characters, you may come here and do so." He then glances at us before he takes his leave. "Uh, there's one last thing Miura-san, can you please do me a favour? You see, the costumes are kept inside of our school's stock room. Won't you please get it for me??"

"U-u-uhhh..."

"Look, we're busy." He begs me with his eyes already sparkling. "You can ask Daiki to accompany you. Those stuffs are quite heavy."

"I-I can manage. He's sleeping anyway."

"What??" Now the president's mad.

Daiki loves to sleep. He's the type of person who sleeps whenever his bored. Sometimes he would just put on his headphones and doze off, or he would excuse himself, lie that he has a terrible headache and that he must go visit the clinic—but the truth is, he's not. He'll visit the rooftop and sleep there. Apparently, for him, our homeroom class is boring him enough to make him do so, but this time, he decided to sleep in his desk. The funny thing about him is that, even if he sleeps the whole time, he still manages to get high grades in every subject and top the class. That's why, I think, the teachers no longer care if he sleeps or not.

The only person who hates to see him sleeping is of course, our class president.

Immediately, without even hesitating, he gets the chalk eraser and throws it, aiming it on his head.

"TAKEDA DAIKI!!!! WAKE UP!!!!"

His voice is so loud it woke him up even if he's wearing his headphone.
