Rain Shall Fall

Chapter 8

Miss Zoe handed them both the scripts and said,"Well, our scriptwriter has written these a couple months ago. But until now, he hasn't given it a title." Armin read briefly through it.

He smiled,"May I speak to you in private, Miss Zoe?" She nodded and they both walked to a small area in the theater where there wasn't anyone there.

Annie read the script. She asked,"Bert, are you acting as well?" He shook his head,"Nope. I'm the backstage crew." She shrugged.

Armin with Miss Zoe came back. She clapped her hands twice and said aloud,"Come round! I've got something to say."

All stopped their work and crowded around the front of the stage. She smiled,"One of your fellow schoolmates have suggested a title for our play. Finally. But I would still need to talk to our director to officiate it. Dismissed. Oh, and Moblit?" The boy nodded. "You're in charge. And tell them their roles." He nodded once again.

She then walked out of the theater.

Moblit then approached Annie and Armin,"Armin, you have the main male role. Annie, you got the main female role." Armin grinned while Annie stared in disbelief,"What!?" Moblit shrugged,"You can't change that. Miss Zoe has already decided." She sighed in frustration,"Fine..."

The blond boy placed a hand on her shoulder,"Well it's okay. I'm happy to work with you in this." She looked up at him (she's shorter than him, remember?) and said, adding sarcasm,"Yeah I'm so glad."

Miss Zoe came back and took a microphone,"Students! Mr Smith has agreed on the title of our play. It is now called 'Rain Shall Fall'."

Annie glared at Armin, who grinned at her.
