Chapter 3

"What? So you're telling me you were lying?!" Matsukawa cried out to Izumi. We were finally at the plaza and of course of I told them that everything Izumi said earlier was a lie. "You were in a pinch and I wasn't lying, I was acting!" Izumi said , explaining the situation. "Acting is when you play a character, lying is when you say something false." I said, putting my hands in my pockets and leaning on a post, "Know the definition before you try to use it as a excuse."

"Does that mean-" "Nope, We don't have new members." I interrupted Matsukawa, breaking the news to the poor guy. Matsukawa fell to his knees, in disbelief over the truth. "Are we really being shut down?" Sakuya asked, Izumi turning to his direction. "No, we just have to find new members before that even happens!" Izumi answered, Matsukawa protesting in tears with "Are you kidding me?! It's to late for that now!". "C'mon, you never know until your try!" "That's impossible!" Everybody left and I was the only one that stayed and has been trying to keep this place afloat ever since then!" As Matsukawa continued to whine, I crouched down next to him and began to pay his back. "There, There, We understand that these past few years for you have been tough.".

I than got up and told him "Now get back on your feet and handle this like a man, you really going to accept defeat after staying with the place for so long!". Matsukawa got up, dusting off his pants, saying "Right! I should fight and save this place!". Man, you can really cheer up this guy by a simple motivational speech. Izumi smiled and said "Now that were all on the same page, let's think of a way to get more members!"
———————————————————————————

"Yeah, I'm not doing this." I said flatly, watching with Izumi as Matsukawa and Sakuya did a "Street act". Sakuya said that we should do one, as on the way to the theater earlier, he saw one involving two actors from this "God troupe". The street act were basically auditions, and trust me it was painful to watch.

"Hey director!" Matsukawa called out to Izumi, trying to drag us into the act, "do you have any questions you would like to ask our Auditioners?". Izumi joined in and approached were Matsukawa and Sakuya were at, pretending to be the director. "Want to join too, Assistant director?" Sakuya asked me, which caught me in shock. They already dragged me to save the company, now they dragging me into this cringe inducing stunt. I ignored Sakuya, getting out my phone and pretended to check for any new texts.

As Sakuya continued to call for me, a spectator tapped my shoulder and asked "um, I think that guy's calling for you?". I looked up and them and answered with "Don't know them, Don't care.". The entire act was exactly what you expect from the three. Everyone that watched thought they lost a bet and shrugged them off. After I noticed that they had given up their street act, I walked over to them, asking "Want to go to square one?"

"Yeah, no one's giving us a second glance anyway..." Sakuya said, but a figure caught my eye. I looked towards it and saw a teen staring. Right at us, leaning on the railing. The teen had black hair and blonde hair underneath, a mole on the left side on his mouth. He wore a black leather jacket, a T-n  camouflage pattern, and a white shirt underneath. He also had white headphones resting on his neck. Others would describe him as handsome, but I only considered him Jacob Black 2.o.

I walked towards him and said "Hey Creepo! If your not interested in joining, Scram!". Sakuya came over to me and said to himself "Is that Masumi?"." Masumi?" "Yeah, he's a year below me in school." The teen named Masumi seemed to hear us and asked to Sakuya "Sorry, Who are you?". I looked over to Sakuya as he put his hand to the back of his head smiling, saying to the pink haired boy "Looks like the guy doesn't recognize you."

Masumi looked down at me and asked, "What you said earlier, about joining...did you mean Theater?". At first I was taken back, but I got back my composure and answered him with "Yeah! You want in?". Masumi than asked "Are you...part of the company?". "What! NO! Never in my life would I be apart-" "What are you talking about, y/n? You're the assistant director." Izumi interrupted me, as she and Matsukawa went over to us. "Assistant director?! Wasn't that just for the act?" I asked in confusion to my big sister, turning towards her. "I thought you disliked acting, not production" "If it involves theater, than I still hate it!"

Masumi got down from the railing and approached me, saying "If your in it, than I'm willing to join." He got close to my face, a blush appearing on his face. "Dude, six feet apart!" I said, pushing him softly away. "And tough luck, I'm not in it-" I got interrupted and was grabbed by Izumi and taken far away from Masumi. "y/n! Did you forget what we're trying to do?" Izumi whispered to me, "you need to say that your apart of the company!". "But I'm not, you obviously know my feelings towards theater." I whispered back. Izumi gave me her puppy dog eyes and said "Please...just do it for me...I won't involve you any farther than this..."

I nodded, me and Izumi returning to Masumi. "Yeah, I'm the assistant director for the Mankai company." I said to him. Masumi blushed again and said "Than I'm in.". "Wow! Really Masumi, that's great!" Sakuya exclaimed, going over to him. Masumi only asked who Sakuya was, still not knowing who he was. "Are you happy now?" I asked annoyed to Izumi as she smiled back to me. "Totally, we have a new member so it's a good start!"

Izumi decided to have Masumi try the street act, telling him to introduce himself. "Member number 2, Masumi Asui, age sixteen. My hobbies include listening to music I guess and I joined the company, determined to do my best for our beautiful assistant director." Masumi said, which instantly made everyone that hade a vagina near us fawn over him. As every lady near in his radius crowded over him, me, Izumi, and Matsukawa watched. "Wow, Masumi's amazing isn't he?" Matsukawa said, The only thing coming to my mind being "But he only introduced himself, anyone could do that!"

I than saw Masumi up close in my face, asking me if he was doing an alright job. "You were a natural!" Izumi answered on my behalf, But Masumi only brushed her off. "Yeah, I'm not asking you..." Masumi said in a deadpan way, causing Izumi to go back in a sulking manner. I only sighed and said to Masumi sarcastically "You're doing great, sweetheart.". Masumi seemed to think I really meant it and another blush came onto his face.

"S-Sweetheart?" Masumi said as a faint smile came onto his face and walked back to where he was, continuing his street act. "Don't tell me he has a crush on me.." I said to myself as I watched as more ladies continue to crowd around Masumi as if he was a magnet and they were metal.

God, please don't let that be the case...
