Chill Out! [ SonAmy Story ]

Chapter 22 ▪ Oh, Juliet!

3 days to go before the festival, and I still have so much to do. Well, not just me. All of us have to decorate and make the final adjustments on the floats, prepare the booths, decorate the entrance, and most importantly, plan out the events.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" I yelled to everyone that was in my way.

Today, I'm in charge of handing out the event list to each classroom moderator. But, according to the Vice president, handing them out won't be easy since all the teachers at this time are relaxing at different places around the school. It means that most of them are lounging, just anywhere, or to any possible places around the school. But the school is so big! How am I supposed to find them in a short amount of time??

I quickly ran to where one of my schoolmates saw Sir Gilbert, carefully not to bump into anybody I quickly ran to the theatre. Entering the theatre, I quickly saw Sir Gilbert sitting on top of a throne that the theatre kids built. I quickly ran up to him, and without a word, just handed him the event list. There was only one event list to give and I'll finally be done!

He took it and smiled, "Miss Charlotte is in the library!"

"Thanks, Sir!" I said before I quickly ran to the exit. 

"Only one event list to hand out then I'm done." I thought to myself, as I quickly passed and dodged the students that were moving boxes of fake flowers and cloths to use for the floats. Before I knew it, I was inside the library, trying to spot Miss Charlotte.

While I was walking around inside, I immediately saw, not Miss Charlotte, but Sonic. But here's the catch, he's with Via. I smirked and hid behind a bookshelf, maybe trying to catch a glimpse of them flirting. 

"So here is where we must place the stands then we'll place the rides..." Via told Sonic, pointing at a paper using a pen. "Oh, then we will place the food stalls on the side," Sonic added before he explained his idea. "This is boring," I whispered to myself, as I began to stand up. "And I should really get going--" "Hey, there you are!" I heard a familiar voice said. I then felt a hand pushing me back down with a whisper, "Sshh, you'll miss this out."

Before I was about to say anything, I heard my name from Sonic and Via. "It's Amy." My eyes quickly shifted to them, confused as to why I was mentioned in their conversation. "Hmm, you should've kept listening." Miss Charlotte giggled, nudging my shoulder.

I rolled my eyes and blatantly handed her the event list before I stood up. "I'm sure I wasn't supposed to hear that," I told Miss Charlotte while I removed the dust on my skirt and walked away.

I pushed the glass doors open, leaving the scent of books and flowers inside the library as the light greeted me warmly.

I sighed, "Should have taken the clean-up duty instead. I shouldn't have snooped around with their conversation." I made my way back to the Yearbook club room, regretting the decision I've made a moment ago. I sadly pushed the doors open, and before I could get inside, I heard yelling. "It's not our responsibility to find a replacement for Juliet you dumbo!" Levi yelled at the theatre kid.

"But I really need your help! Our Juliet actor has broken her leg when she was trying to go down the stairs!" One of the theatre kids yelled.

They continued shouting, unaware of my presence and quickly went behind Zendaya who was biting her pen aggressively. "What's going on?" I asked her, looking at her and the people arguing.

"Their Juliet actor is injured, and there's no one to replace her. But for starters, why are they asking for our help?" Zendaya told me.

I shook my head and sighed, "People these days are crazy." Before I could move away from the crowd, one of the theatre kids suddenly pointed at me. "How about her? Amy isn't it?" The boy walked towards me with a desperate look.

I raised my brow in confusion, "Huh? Me?"

"Yes, you! We could use your help! I saw you act once in a drama class, and you were amazing!" The girl behind him said. "Huh?? But I'm not used to acting in front of so many people before!" I answered, shaking my head.

"Oh come on, if she says you're great, then you are! Come on, just this time, please! We really need a replacement!" The boy replied, looking at me with sad eyes.

I looked around, trying to process some of my clubmates expressions. Seconds later, I heard Levi sighed and nodded, "If it's okay with Amy, then she could be your replacement."

"Well, what do you say? Of course, we'll help you!' The girl insisted. I looked at them with a worried face, before I sighed. "Okay, since this is an emergency." I smiled.

The theatre kids rejoiced while Levi approached me. "Sorry if we're putting this pressure on you, it's my mistake as the club leader." He sighed. "Yeah, well at least everything's okay now. So don't feel bad about it." I said.

I felt his hand pat my back lightly, "Well, then do your best!"

I nodded, I left with the theatre kids. Knowing that for the next 2 days, I'm gonna be busy memorizing and getting prepared for the role.

"Ugh. What a day it has been so far." I thought.

"Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Via asked.

I felt something bad happened, but maybe it's just my head that's playing with me. "Nothing. I just had a thought... " I muttered, looking back at the checklist I was holding.

"Well, that's not gonna help us finish the preparations. So let's get out heads back in work." Via smiled, as she lightly nudged my shoulder.

I chuckled, "Sure." Moments of silence has passed as we were busy checking the long list that the student council gave us.

"Thank you really, Sonic. For helping me check the preparations, no words can ever repay back your kindness." Via sighed, putting down her pen.

"No, I really just wanted to help. I couldn't bear seeing you stress these things all by yourself." I grinned. She smiled before she looked away, "I've been thinking about what you said earlier, I think it's possible."

I looked at her in shock and awe, "Huh? Wait-- really? Are you sure? I mean I don't want to force you into something you don't want to do--"

"Yep! That's my final answer!" She grinned. I smiled and patted her head softly.
