Adopted Soldier

Now that everyone’s attention was on Katrina she finally announced who would be the female lead . "Everyone of you knows that Emily and I have changed the script to fit the added actors . So because of these changes, we decided to have a female lead in our story . So without further ado, our female lead for the upcoming play is none other than Kei Kaido . "

When everyone heard Katrina’s words they got confused . They all thought that they had misheard what was said .

"Sorry Katrina, did you say Kei?" One of the members of the Drama Club asked .

"Yep . "

"As the female lead?" Another asked .

"Yep . "

"You do know Kei’s a guy, right?" This time it was Rachel who chimed in .

"Of course I do know that . I’m just saying we’re going to dress him up and turn him pretty . " Katrina smiled mischievously .

"Oh . " All the girls said in unison . Kei who was still in a state of shock due to the failed confession he did, was once again shocked by the sudden announcement .

"I’m not doing it, no, I’m not!" After saying this Kei made run for it .

"Get him!" Katrina yelled, in which Alex responded and gave chase . Seeing it was Alex who was giving chase no one else moved .

"Is this your idea, Emily?" Rachel came close to Emily and asked her .

"Not entirely, at first I said let Niel become the female lead . Can you imagine that guy wearing makeup and dressing up . " Rachel thought of it for a second and imagined Niel wearing such a thing . She imagined the tall Niel wearing a gown, and wig, with some make-up the result was a hot older lady with long silky black hair .

"Oh my God, she’s even prettier than my mom . "

"Right . . . But seeing as he has bandages covering his arm, he wouldn’t be able to do it . So the next choice was Kei . Even though he wouldn’t be able to match up to Niel, but he would be still very cute . Here is a picture I made using some photoshop . " Emily gave Rachel the picture, she printed off a Kei wearing a wig and some make-up .

"He is pretty cute, but why choose a guy to do this? Won’t it be better to use an actual girl?"

"We could do that, but where is the flare in doing that? Wouldn’t it be more exciting to shock the audience by showing Kei’s transformation?"

"I guess you’re right . . . Also, we could have fun dressing him up, and applying make-up on him . " Rachel couldn’t help but smile mischievously as well, as she thought about it .

. . .

After a few more minutes Alex was able to capture Kei and bring him back to the clubroom . Some of the members of the Mercenary Club was shocked to see that it took Alex awhile to capture Kei . Seeing speed wise it wasn’t even a contest .

Even Alex was shocked that Kei was able to elude him for so long . This strengthened his doubts that he was getting a bit rusty .

Unknown to everyone else, the reason why Kei was able to elude Alex for so long, was because he knew the layout of the school better than Alex . He knew every shortcut, every timed appearance of a person passing by, he knew it all .

Even though Alex did some recon on the layout of the building as well, he wasn’t all as adept and knowledgable as Kei .

. . .

Kei who was knocked out by Alex finally woke up . He felt like something was different . He wasn’t wearing his uniform anymore . He was wearing a nurse’s uniform and was even wearing a bra with some apples placed in it .

He then noticed everyone was taking pictures of him . It was at this point his clarity came back and he knew what had happened .

He was going to get angry and rip off the nurse’s uniform in rage, but before he could do so someone stopped him . His right hand was being held down by Rachel while his left hand was held by Emily .

"You don’t want to do that Kei, not only is the uniform a rental, the moment you undress in front of all these people taking pictures, while you are wearing make-up wouldn’t really do well for you," Rachel whispered to Kei .

"Besides when you like this you stand out more . Wasn’t that one of your goals to stand out more, well right now you’re doing it . " Emily jokingly spoke to Kei as well .

Kei then noticed Alex, Oliver, Niel, and the three boys of the Drama Club . Kei looked at them signaling them to help him, but no one did anything . Oliver put his two hands together while saying sorry with no sound just his lips moving up and down . The three boys of the Drama Club weren’t much help as they were also taking pictures of Kei .

Niel just showed his fits, as if saying you can do it . Finally, Alex didn’t understand why he was asking for help . To him, Kei wearing the nurses uniform with a wig and some make-up was what he needed to do, to help the Drama Club .

If Katrina the Drama Club president told Alex to cross-dress as well, he would’ve done so, if it was for the club .

. . .

Seeing as the other guys were of no use, Kei had no choice but to accept his fate . Not only was his confession a bust, but he was now put in this embarrassing situation . While Kei was feeling sorry for himself Emily suddenly whispered something .

"I’m sorry about this Kei, at first Niel was suppose to do it, but you know what happened to his arm . . . Let me make it up to you . This Saturday how about we go out and do something you like, or eat something you like, my treat . "

When Kei heard this, he remembered that steak place he wanted to try, but was unable to get into because he had no budget . Seeing his reaction Emily smiled . "It seems like you’re not against it . I’ll be waiting in front of the statue near the park, you know the statute of the founder . It’s a date . "

Kei who heard this was brought back from his daydreaming and was about to cancel, but before he could do so, Emily already left the scene . He was then about to follow, but the group of girls surrounded him while giggling and taking pictures of him .

When Kei saw the fading back of Emily, he could now only sigh . What a day this was, first he was scared sh*tless about learning that Sayaka was an assassin . Then he failed to confess his feelings of infatuation, while one of his friends did so instead . Now he was dressed up like a girl, and then finally he was invited to a date by Emily .

What a day it was .
