Sister, Back-off From MY MAN

Five days later in school.

After his classes got over Song Ji Hun went to the auditorium where some of the students were rehearsing for Cinderella's play.

Ian and Song Ji Hwan were already present there, sitting in the front row.

These two guys come here every day after their classes get over to watch the rehearsals for some reason.

Today was Friday and Song Ji Hun finally getting some time from his other activities came here to watch Kiaraa act.

After their school hours are over, the students who are in the play were staying back extra hours for rehearsals.

But Ji Hun couldn't stay back as his schedule was busy but every day at night, Ji Hwan teases him and says he should attend the rehearsals if he wants some entertainment and see Kiaraa in a more interesting light.

Ji Hwan didn't give him any more information making Ji Hun curious as to what Kiaraa is doing that Ian and Song Ji Hwan stay back every day after school to watch her.

So, today, he too decided to stay back.

Song Ji Hun took a corner seat in the middle row away from Ian and Ji Hwan who were sitting in first row with some popcorn.

Therefore, the two guys didn't notice him.

'Where did these two manage to get popcorn from?' Ji Hun thought and looked at the stage, where all the participants took their positions and were about to start the rehearsals.

A tired looking Cinderella, in her rag looking clothes was working. 

After a few seconds, Kiaraa appeared on stage with some other girl, who was playing the role of another evil sister.

The two girls look at Cinderella, who is doing chores and smirk at each other clearly harbouring some evil intentions towards the poor girl.

"Hey Cinderella, get some water for me" Kiaraa ordered the sweet looking girl, who was tired after doing all the household chores.

"My hands are busy…" Cinderella hesitatingly said as her hands were covered in foam, she was washing dishes.

"Then free your hands, wash them properly and get me some water" Kiaraa rudely interrupted her.

"O…Okay" Cinderella did as Kiaraa said and while walking towards her with the glass of water, the girl playing Cinderella tripped and the glass fell off her hand.

"I knew you were dumb but didn't expect you are so dumb that you can't even walk properly" Kiaraa taunted the girl.

The girl playing Cinderella glared at her as tripping and falling was not a part of the script, she genuinely fell down.

Instead of helping her, Kiaraa was scolding her.

"I genuinely tripped" The girl retorted not giving a damn about the play.

Ian and Ji Hwan looked at each other and excitedly smiled.

"Oh, is that so? I thought people intentionally trip." Kiaraa chuckled as if she heard a joke, "What a joke you are that you can't even walk properly"

"And what a joke you are, you can't even talk properly" The girl playing Cinderella shouted back.

"I can't talk properly? Which part of my sentence did you not understand, dumbo?" Kiaraa made fun of her.

"You…"

"Just go and do your chores as you are not good enough to do anything else." Kiaraa interrupted her.

"Why should I do the chores?" The girl got angry.

"Because you are sweet, innocent Cinderella with unparalleled temper" Kiaraa said and added, "But I think you are the wrong person for this character, you are more suitable to play the evil sister role with me"

"How dare you? I am perfect for the role of Cinderella not the evil sister" The girl again shouted.

The louder this girl shouted, the more Ian and Hwan enjoyed.

"Oh! you really believe you are perfect for Cinderella?" Kiaraa asked her.

"Yes"

"Then be a good Cinderella and get me another glass of water" Kiaraa smirked at her.

That girl tightly clenched her fists as she had the urge to punch on Kiaraa's face and to wipe away that smug smile.

"Go, there is the water" Kiaraa pointed at the setting which had a kitchen.

That girl looked at their teachers, who clearly looked worried and they signalled her to let go of Kiaraa and continue with rehearsals.

Out of respect for her teachers, that girl decided to continue with the rehearsals and got water for Kiaraa.

"Now, massage my legs, it is paining" Kiaraa comfortably sat on a chair and pointed at her legs.

The girl playing Cinderella looked at the staff, "This scene is not in the script" she complained to them.

One of the teachers decided to step up, "Kiaraa, this scene is not in the script."

"I improvised based on the situation" Kiaraa answered.

"What situation?" The teacher asked.

"Today, I played sports the whole day so my legs are aching." 

Ji Hwan and Ian tried to control their laughter as Kiaraa was trying to change the script according to her convenience.

"So?" The girl playing Cinderella glared at her.

"So, massage them" 

"Is she serious?" The girl looked at her teacher, who was confused wondering how to handle this situation.

"Kiaraa, dear, this is not funny" The teacher tried to politely make Kiaraa understand.

If it would have been some other kid, the same teacher would have removed her from the play long ago.

But Kiaraa is a special case as her grandpa is the biggest donor of this school. Every year he donates a huge amount for school's welfare. 

The main auditorium of this school is named after him, as a sign of respect.

Therefore, this teacher was a bit hesitant on being rude towards Kiaraa.

"Kiaraa, dear, this is not funny" The teacher politely said.

"What's not funny?" Kiaraa asked.

"I suggest let's stick to the script, okay?" The teacher had enough experience with Kiaraa to know what not to do.

"I was just improvising" Kiaraa muttered and went back to her initial position to continue the scene.

The next scene they rehearsed was of receiving invitation for a royal ball where all girls were invited.

"We got invitation to the royal ball. Let's dress our best for it" The other evil sister said to Kiaraa.

"No, I don't want to go" Kiaraa rolled her eyes sitting on the couch.

'Ahhhh this girl' The teacher frustratedly shouted in her head.

"Why not?" The other step sister was confused as this was not in the script.

"I just told you, my legs are aching, so I can't go to the royal ball" Kiaraa said.

This other evil step sister helplessly looked around, unknown of what to do as Kiaraa was not following the script.

"What would make you go to the ball?" she asked Kiaraa itself.

"Ask Cinderella to massage my legs, only then will I go to the royal ball" Kiaraa declared.

'What kind of a logic is that?' The girl playing Cinderella got agitated as Kiaraa was intentionally trying to attack her.

"Fine, then don't go to the royal ball stay at home" Cinderella too didn't budge.

"Sure, I won't and I'll keep an eye on you to ensure you also don't go to the royal ball" Kiaraa said and looked at her evil sister, "You go to the ball and get married to the prince. I'll ensure Cinderella won't be a hurdle to your dream"

Everyone, present there: "…"

"Is she changing the whole plot of Cinderella?" Ji Hwan asked Ian, trying to hold his laughter.

"She obviously is. Thank goodness these people got to know her intentions in the rehearsals itself. Imagine what would have happened if this was the actual play day" Ian said.

"Believe me it would have been more fun" Ji Hwan laughed.

"Kiaraa, what are you doing?" Cinderella shouted at her.

"Kiaraa? Who Kiaraa? My name is Drizella" Kiaraa corrected her.

Cinderella frustratedly looked at her teacher, "If she is in this play, I'll quit" she declared.

"Fifth girl to quit this week." Ian helplessly shook his head.

"I am not even surprised" Song Ji Hwan ate his popcorn.

"Go quit, you are anyway too ugly to play Cinderella" Kiaraa rolled her eyes and looked at her teacher, "I am telling you, give this role to my younger sister Aera, she will be perfect for it"

"Are you doing all of this so that you can have your sister play Cinderella?" Cinderella shouted at her.

"Yeah, she is more perfect for this role and having her adds a true flavour to this play. We will look perfect as sisters" Kiaraa smiled with the thought of having Aera with her, who would never dare to argue with her like these other girls do.

"Fine, then get your sister to play this role." The girl playing Cinderella lost her patience and stormed off.

Kiaraa then looked at her teacher, "She is the fifth one to quit today. You are not doing a great job at selecting the female protagonist. Take my advice, have my sister play the lead, she will be a great choice, you won't regret selecting her."

"Kiaraa, taking your advice I did talk to Aera but she was terrified with the idea of playing your step-sister" She honestly informed her.

"Terrified? How terrified? Did she cry?" Kiaraa looked excited.

Her teacher deeply sighed, "Let's halt the rehearsals for now, until we find a new Cinderella" she declared.
