Black and White ✘ Black Butler

Chapter 37

Hey guys, yep... I'm not dead. Yea sorry about that, but after my finals I've been so relaxed that I learned how to sleep again XD. I just decided that I should take some time to relax so I wanted to at least get a week off and get myself put together before I actcually starton writing. But, now I'm getting right back to work. So, it's been taking me some time to make some more chapters, but I'm doing all I can.

I'm getting through this series, but it has been a little hard since I'm trying to get these final thoughts in before I end the series completely. Last minute thoughts and lack of motivation definitely makes things a lot harder.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the chapter...

While cruising through the semi-crowded halls, my eyes were practically glued to the booklet lying on top of my hands. I paid little to no attention to the crowd of students that were, fortunately, evading my way. My mouth moved as I recited each line that my character spoke. If I didn't plant these lines in my brain by Friday evening, then the entire night will be a huge disaster. The last thing I want is to be humiliated in front of the whole academy. But, surely, if I'm in front a crowd, I will most definitely make a fool of myself.

Ever since this week started, which happened to be the first week back into school, everyone has been on edge. But, their stress is mainly due to the fact that the play is literally only 32-hours away. Their stress isn't similar to mine, which happens to be due the fact that any minute could be a life-or-death situation, but the play did add a few pounds to the load.

Literally, all that I've heard from my friends is recited lines and rehearsal changes. I'm just grateful that after tomorrow I will never have to deal with this again. If I have to hear another Shakespeare, it'll be too soon. But, I wouldn't necessarily blame my friends for practically talking nothing but the play this entire week; after all, we do want to put our A-game on the table. All of our single mistakes do affect all of us. Even if one of us makes a tiny mistake, then everything might as well come crashing down... Well, at least that's what Bell and Darla both agree on, but that didn't mean it riled everyone else up. I mean, who would want to be the laughing stock in the entire school? Definitely not me.

As mind full attention was on the papers in front of me, I jump when my shoulder collides with another solid force, making myself crash onto the lockers beside me. I grasp onto the script, pushing it against my chest as if I was holding onto my soul, while a chunk of hair fell in front of my eyes. With my hand, I brush the stray hairs from my face before looking around to see if anyone had noticed my Great tumble. No one did; they were all busy in their little worlds to realize that I was still in the halls.

I shake my head, trying to shake off the stress, then look at the double doors standing beside the lockers. I was so into the script that I didn't realize how far I actually walked. I was already in front of the entrance to the theatre.

After taking in a deep sigh, I push open one of the double doors and enter the theatre. It didn't take too much time for my eyes to adjust to the dim environment; the stage lights did provide a shed of light into the dark room.

I jog deeper into the room, placing my bag onto the nearest chair closest to the stairs that led up to the stage, and rushed onto the stage. Dress rehearsal wasn't until tomorrow afternoon, so most of us had to take the time to shove these lines into our brains and make sure they stay there. I need to get these last few lines in with Bell if I want to be confident enough to even withstand a dress rehearsal. With all these little changes Bell has made, memorizing these simple words proved to be a daunting task. I'm just hoping by the end of today I'm fully prepared to perform.
