Why We Act (TsukasaShizuha)

(Published February 22, 2020)

No One's POV

A certain orange haired was spacing out on her seat, in her classroom, which was devoid of her classmates' presence. A familiar person was standing by the door, seemed to be smiling at the girl who was spacing out.

The long haired person, who was by the door, clapped her hands, making the orange haired to snap back to reality.

"Ah! S-Shizuha-san..." The orange haired grumbled, moving her head to where the noise came from.

"Hi, Tsukasa! It's almost show time! We have to get ready now." Shizuha stood up straight, her hands on her hips, with a smile for increased enthusiasm.

"Hey..." Tsukasa called with a hint of wonder present in her eyes.

"Hm? What's the problem?" Shizuha asked, helping Tsukasa up with a hand.

"N-nevermind..." Tsukasa stuttered after meeting the others' eyes.

"Whatever that is, make sure to tell me sometime." She said with a smile.

"That sometime is sooner than you think." Tsukasa mumbled while she was being dragged by the other person.

The cheers of the crowd reverberated throughout the gymnasium after the school band played. Now, it was time for the play, their musical play.

"Good luck out there!" The technicals and sound committee cheered.

"We will!" Lalafin, a pink haired short senpai of the blonde and the redhead, responded.

"Of course! Like there's no tomorrow!" Aruru, a blonde in ponytail, hyped up the rest of the members.

"I'll be with you all the way." Misora, a redhead and the blondes' childhood friend, tapped the blondes' shoulder.

"Are you okay, Shizuha-san?" Tsukasa asked, reaching for the hand of the called girl to squeeze it, but had withdrawn it.

"I'm perfect! I think I'm going to do better today than our rehearsal." Shizuha pumped both of her fist, psyching herself up.

"It's time." The staff in the area said as the curtains were slowly lifted up. Everyone took a deep breath, smiled, and looked at the audience.

"Here we go. Watch us!"

The play went on smoothly and ended with a loud applause. The cast lined up in front of the stage and bowed to the audience together with big smiles on their faces. "Thank you very much!"

"That was amazing!" One person shouted.

The cast then happily went off stage and hugged each other in delight of such an amazing performance. The orange haired broke away from the hug first and walked away, determined look on her face, all the while pulling the taller girl with her, leaving their juniors to tilt their head in confusion.

"I wonder what's wrong?" Aruru asked, getting themselves at ease.

"I think there's nothing to worry about them, Aruru." Misora answered her, squeezing the blondes' hand.

"She's right, Aruru-chan." Lalafin added, looking in the direction where the other two have left.

"If you say so, Lalafin-senpai, then I'll believe both of you!" Her spirits were lifted and then suddenly ran away, pulling with her the redhead, who didn't mind it one bit. "See you later, Lalafin-senpai!"

"Really, these guys... They all really like leaving me behind. I'm sad guys... Give me some love and affection too..." Lalafin stood on her place, wiped faked tears, when in all actuality she didn't mind all that. All she wants is for them to be happy.
