The Moment I Fell For You Genji x Reader

Chapter 4

Drama had been quite exciting. The story took romantic turns to feelings of betrayal on the parts, which you and Genji had pulled off pretty good. Different colored spotlights were being set up all around the theatre, being placed carefully before the bell had rung.

"There's still 9 lights left. They're not going to wait afterschool to be set up so hurry and place them." The prop president instructed. So, the rest of the team did, hardly screwing in the lights just so that they could finish. One nearly fell but was held into place by a freshman that just happen to be there.

"Daniel, I don't think this is safe. Shouldn't we make sure they're secure?"

"It's fine, I'm sure that the lights will stay in place. We wouldn't risk breaking 600 dollar lights." As they put the last light in its place, the bell had rung. None of the students but one looked back to the lights, regretting not screwing them in just a little bit more to make sure everyone was safe.

Later that day, the drama period had started so everyone was getting ready to act out the few final scenes of the play. You hadn't gotten your final parts along with Genji from Mrs. Puma, so you two were given a break. Instead, they worked on the lights, timed how fast they could move props, wall changes, and scene settings. The period was going slower than usual but there was a sort of bad feeling in your stomach, but you didn't know why.

A cracking sounded from the ceiling but was hardly audible to your classmates with all the moving around and such. The left light just above the teacher was becoming looser until it finally snapped and fell. Unconscious, Mrs. Puma laid on the ground. The students surrounded her, trying to keep her awake. You quickly rushed to your backpack to pull out your phone and dialed 911. Ambulances arrived while the principle told us what would happen to the play.

"I'm sorry students, but this play cannot be performed. Your teacher isn't here to guide you so-"

"Wait!" Genji shouted. "We have the scripts! We don't really need her! It's not that we don't want her here but as she would say, the show must go on! Please sir, the scripts are complete and we've been working very hard. Please.."

"Well, if the scripts complete and everyone behaves, I'll just send a sub to supervise whenever you need it. Please hope that you do not betray my trust." You were shocked at Genji's outburst. The script wasn't even complete because Mrs. Puma didn't even give you the final parts yet! Great, so much for being honest. The principle walked out, his head held high as the rest of us waited for him to leave. As the door closed, everyone looked at Genji.

"Genji, we don't have the last part! What are you doing!" You yelled. He just put his hand up to silence you.

"Relax Y/n. I'll ask Mrs. Puma, she's my neighbor so all I gotta do is go next door and get it. She's bound to be home by tomorrow, I hope. Also give me your number, I need to be able to reach you if I get it."

Giving him your number, you couldn't help but shake your head. How could this happen? It's so close yet now you and everyone else does not have a teacher! And the scripts! It's a sure disaster. "The performance is in 7 days, one week on Friday! We need to act quickly." The bell had rung so you went on for the rest of the day, drama not leaving your thoughts.

A few days later Genji decided to make his way over to Mrs. Pumas house. She had been home since Saturday but he decided to give her the pleasure of being home for one day. He walked to her front door which her husband opened. He greeted with a smile and welcome him into the home.

"Honey, Genji's here!"

"Genji? What are you doing here? It's the weekend! Go enjoy it while you're still young!" She said from the other room. He chuckled and entered.

"Sorry to bother you Mrs. Puma, but I came over to see if you had the last parts of the play. Plus, I wanted to see how you were doing."

"Well I'll have ya know that I'm doing just fine! The scripts are just over there sweetie, you saved me the trouble of asking my husband to deliver them to the school." She said while pointing across the room on her desk. Genji walked over and took them into hand.

"So uh, you're not going to be back in time for the play, are you?" She paused, her smile slowly turned into a frown as she spoke.

"No, I'm afraid not. Genji, because you're one of my favorite students, I put you in charge for the play. Make sure everything is right and amazing for Friday. I'll be there to watch it!" Her passionate words echoed off the walls. Genji put an arm over his chest and bowed.

"I am honored to do this, thank you so much. I should be going now and take care Mrs. Puma! Seeya on Friday!"

As Genji looked over the script, he couldn't help but notice certain scenes cut out. Rather romantic ones. A sinister smile crept on his face realizing what he could add in. So, he did. Changed lines and scenes that no one had seen to make this play rather 'interesting'. Besides, who would know?

The next morning was a Monday. Ugh, you hated the fact you had to get out of bed so early in the morning. You made some toast, put some jelly and butter on it and began to get ready. As you were brushing your teeth, your phone vibrated, the screen lighting up with a red blinking light. You picked it up. It was Genji, but why so early?

"Hey Y/n, I got the rest of the script from Mrs. Puma. Do you think you could come to the drama room in 15 minutes?" Well, you guessed it was a rushed day so you changed, put your hair up, grabbed your bag and zoomed out the door. Why couldn't he tell you this yesterday? Lazy, stupid, attractive idiot!

'Probably flirting with all those stupid girls he talks to.' You thought. As you walked through the doors to the drama room, Genji double looked at you and laughed.

"Phew, that's a new look for you. What's it called?" He smirked.

"Shut up. Where's the scripts?" He looked at you with a fake pout.

"That's a weird name for a hairdo. Rushed this morning?" Your face said it all as you glared. Of course it was! He didn't even let you know about any of this till this morning!

"Real funny Shimada boy. Now, could I have my script please?" Venom a little evident in your voice. Yet he didn't care and handed you your part lazily. You looked it over, nothing too much to memorize. The ending had quite a bit but that was about it! You thanked Mrs. Puma silently and smiled. Let's make this week productive!

"Well Genji, lets work to our fullest. Only 4 days left and the show is on."

"You could count on me Y/n."
