The Villainess

Chapter 14

"Just need a little retouch here." Miss Lyka brushed lightly on my cheeks with a light pink blush, as her hand get's closer to my face I closed my eyes as the berry scent of the blush blended with her lavender perfume. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly with my mouth.

You can do this.

"Alright, you can go now. Break a leg out there." She lightly pat my head as she went to another kid to retouch her makeup. I faced the mirror in front of me, the warm lights reflected on my smooth fair skin. My make up was rather dark, my eyes became more emphasized with the purple shadow with a dark blue crease, my eyebrows were properly shaded, I wet my lips with my tongue and a shining blue lips came up. My hand twirled along my hair that was curled into drills, the hair went smoothly with my fingers because of my black laced gloves that fit my little hands perfectly.

Lastly, my dress. It's a black ballroom gown with traces of purple lace matched with a simple display of diamonds.

Now that you look at me, my features really is made for a villain role, no wonder some find me intimidating.

After doing a final check I stride towards the left wing where I will walk through for me to enter the stage, good thing I'm just wearing a one inch sandal or else I may really trip with my legs slightly trembling.

"Minnie." I called her out. She was peeking at the stage when she nervously turned.

"Sej!" She immediately ran towards me and held my hands. Her face was a mix of excitement and nervousness as her eyes beamed at me.

"There's a lot people who came!" She shrieked excitedly. My heart started to pound stronger against my chest, it was so strong that the pulsation ran through my entire body.

"Wow." Was all I could mutter.

"Are you nervous?" She asked, thinking she may have felt the pulsation of my heart I nodded.

"Me too!" She smiled and released my hands to touch her cheeks and slapped it two times. "I hope we'll do well." She pouted.

"Sejeong-ah." Sehun walked in between me and Minnie causing her to step back.

"Oh, the prince is here." She rolled her eyes as she stick her tongue out shortly.

Sehun is the one chosen to play as the prince and his partner would be Minnie who would be playing as Cinderella.

My eyes wandered to the person in front of me, he's wearing a white three piece suit with an honorary medal on his left upper body, his hair was fixed and combed backward, the suit really brought out how he is almost as white as the cloth, like a snow fairy that showed his human form.

"Sehun. What is it?" I asked. Minnie raised the side of her upper lip as she acted as if she's going to punch him but then she looked at me and raised both her eyebrows and left.

What was that?

"How are you feeling?" His eyes searched my face. The more he was staring at me the more I felt conscious due to the make up that I'm wearing.

"Nervous, but it's normal." I replied as I licked my lips because it was starting to dry up.

"You're going to be great don't worry. I'll be there on stage with you too." His hand found its way to my hair, he gave it a light slow stroke. "You don't have to worry about anything." He continued.

"Right." I smiled.

I have my friends with me on stage, they're also nervous about the play and so am I, but we will get through this together. The pounding in my chest started to be calm as I looked straight at Sehun's eyes.

"Let's give it our all Sehunie." His eyes flinched but he smiled back and the hand on my hair went down to my hand. He held it softly as if he was holding a crystal ball. His thumb fondled my palm, the warmth of his hand embraced mine and now my chest is finally as serene as it ever was.

"Okay, Sejeong-ah."

THE play is now starting, the curtains opened with Minnie in her torn and patched up dress as she was cleaning the floor with a wet cloth as she was singing.

"Now Sejeong." Timothy signaled me to enter, I nodded at him and confidently strides forward.

The lights hit me when I went out of the corner, when I got closer to her I got my folding fan and covered my mouth with it.

"What's this smell Cinderella?" My nose crinkled as I started to fan the smell away.

Minnie meekly smiled as she stood up and showed me a cheese plated in a white ceramic plate, as the cheese gets closer I took a step back and turned my face away from the stinky cheese.

"It's food for Gus." She said her line.

"How dare you put that rotten cheese on my plate!Do you want to be locked up again?!" I used my fan and hit the plate from her hands until it crashed to the floor, the ceramic plate broke into pieces as the cheese is still intact.

The audience gasped altogether, not expecting this type of acting to emerge from a 11 years old.

Minnie tragically looked at her cheese and fell to the ground picking the pieces of the plate. Of course the plate was already broken beforehand and is just plastic as the prop team in the corner broke a real plate, thus the realistic sound of a breaking plate.

"Cinderella, you are really leaving me with no choice." I disappointedly made a click with my tongue. "You're not allowed to go with us to the Prince's ball. Stay here with your non-existent friends and keep acting like a lunatic that you are."

"Even if you go, you'll surely have no chance to gain the Prince's attention, only my two beautiful daughters can." I smirked as I went near her and kicked away the rest of the pieces of the plate, as it scattered to different directions, satisfaction is displayed in my face as I turned around to exit the stage.

The lights were now focused on Minnie as she began singing again.

When I finally exited the stage I was welcomed by an astounding applause by the other kids.

"Wow! You are very good out there Sejeong! I almost believed it!" Timothy complimented as he continued to applaud.

I felt my blood rushed to my cheeks as I heard there compliments.

"Sejie!" Eunwoo who's now wearing a shining suit went near me and pointed his wand at me.

"My magic wand helped me! You were really good!" His eyes formed into a crescent shape as he smiled.

Even with that silly suit, I must say he looks pretty good as a God father. As silly as it sounds no one is as pretty as him so the class voted for Eunwoo to be the God father since he's like a fairy in terms of beauty.

I touched the magic wand with the tip of my finger and pushed it down as it was very close to my face.

"Thanks Eunwoo. I'm happy it turned out well too, but we have more scenes to go." I reminded him.

"Seje, after this let's take a photo toge-"

"Eunwoo, you need to prepare now." Sehun cut him off as he pushed Eunwoo to the side. He stumbled for a bit and gained his balance back as he pouted at Sehun.

"Timothy, get him ready. It's almost his turn." Timothy holding the script flipped it and confusingly turned to Sehun.

"He's still not-"

"Now." Timothy gulped and grabbed Eunwoo's hand as he pulled him somewhere.

"You were really amazing in there." Sehun grabbed my attention. My eyes that were looking at Timothy and Eunwoo snapped to the boy in front of me.

"Thanks Sehun." I showed him a small smile as I try to remember what scene will I enter next...

What just happened here?
