Transition (Hikaru X OC)

C.30

I went to school with my polish and when Club time came around, we didn't have any customers, so I sat at a table and started on my nails.

I painted them white, then double coated and started on designs. My pinkies had knives and tools on them that I did in black with the detail brush, I left the ring fingers blank, the middle finger had a deer and antlers on it, and my pointer had a glass of wine or blood, depends on your point of view. I then cleaned off the detail brush and filled the glass with red and started making blood splatters across my nails.

I finally went back to the black and wrote "EAT THE RUDE" across my thumb in tiny script.

I waited for it all to dry before putting two coats of matte topcoat on them all.

"What are you doing?" Tamaki came over. "Waiting for my nails to dry." I sighed, having my hands flat on the table and not touching anything. "Why are you doing your nails?" He asked and I shrugged. "Cos I wanted to." I sighed.

Then my phone rang on the table and looked over and saw it was Mr director man from the theatre I acted at. I hit answer and held it up to my ear.

"Mr Atsushi. Hi. It's wonderful to hear from you." I said, getting up and going to a corner. "Naomi, I heard you got your surgery. Full fledged female now, are you?" He asked and I hummed. "Yes, sir. And it's amazing." I smiled and heard him chuckle.

"Great. So, we're starting a new play, and of course, you being my favorite actress, I want you in it." He said. "Really?! Oh that's great, what is it?" "Repo the Genetic Opera." "Oh my gods, I love that movie so much! It's definitely one of my favourites. Do have any roles in mind for me?" I asked excitedly.

"I was thinking either Shiloh, Blind Mag, or Amber Sweet." He hummed. "Oh, I'm fine with anyone you give me... but please not Amber. Her face gets pretty fucked up near the end, and I think I would be horrified." I said and he laughed. "Naturally you would say that. Okay. Would you mind coming down this afternoon and singing for us so we can decide and get you your script?" He asked.

"Of course. What time do you need me there?" I asked, moving to pack up my stuff. "Are you busy right now?" He asked. "Not really." I said, eyes flashing to Tamaki's. "How about an hour?" He said and I scrawled down a note for myself. "An hour, I can do that." I nodded. "Great, I look forward to seeing you." "You too, and thank you so much, Mr Atsushi." I said and we hung up.

"Where are you going?" Tamaki and Hikaru asked. "That was my director, and they want to give me a new role in a play coming up. I have an hour to go..." I said and kissed Hikaru's cheek and got out, rushing home and getting dressed and mom driving me to the theatre.

I saw Atsushi and we hugged and he asked me to get up on stage. "Now, I presume you know most of the songs from Repo already?" He asked and I nodded. "Sing whatever you'd like for us." He said and I took a moment to clear my throat. "Well, the only song I can think of at the moment is 'Let The Monster Rise', so I guess I'll be doing both Nathan and Shiloh's parts." I chuckled and got started.

"Didn't I tell you not to go out?
Didn't I...?

You did...
You did...

Didn't I say the world was cruel?
Didn't I...?

You did...
You did...

Then tell me how this happened
What I did wrong?
Tell me, why?
Can we just go home, Shi?
And forget this dreadful night?

Didn't you say that you were different?
Didn't you... ?

I am...
I am...

Say you aren't that person,
Say it...

I am...
I am...

Then tell me how to act, Dad
What to say, Dad?
Tell me, why?
All you've ever told me,
Every word is a lie!

Didn't you say that you'd protect me?
Didn't you!

I tried...
I tried...

Is that how you'd help me?
Is it!?

I tried!
I tried!

Don't help me anymore, Dad
You are dead, Dad,
In my eyes!
Someone has replaced you.
Dad, I hate you!
Go and die!

Didn't I build a house? A home?
Didn't I!?

You did...
You did...

Didn't I raise her all alone?
Didn't I!?

You did...
You did...

Then Rotti took her from me!
Stole my Shilo!
He's to blame!
Have I failed my daughter?
Then let the father die!
And let the monster rise!"

I finished and got applause from the people that were there. After about ten minutes, they turned to me. "Welcome to the cast, you're going to be playing Shiloh Wallace." Atsushi said into the mic and I fist pumped the air then went down to grab my script.

Holy shit I loved production.
