~April, 1st day of school~

Etou Kiriya

Damn. Damn. Damn!

For God's sake, who the hell turned off my alarm last night? Today is my new start as a high school student and yet… I will be late!

No. No. Hell, NO! I, Etou Kiriya, the young and talented violinist whose skills are in par with –that—damn—yet—genius— Tsukimori, won't ever lose to anything! not ever to 'time'! not ever! Run. Run. Run, Kiriya!

*first bell rings*

Ah! Good. I WILL be late for sure.

No, calm. That's still the first. There are… hm.. ah! Two more. Two more bells until it count as 'late'.

The school gate. As I have came here for several times, I still have to admit that the one who design this school was truly great. This gate, especially, with some touch of Victorian style, it is great and strong. But…there's no time for praising this gate now!

One thing I hate from this school, they won't count 'passing the gate before the third bell' as safe, but 'make into the classroom before the third bell' is! It's fine for other schools, but please, not here and not now! Why? Reason one: because this school has a damn—big—garden that causing 60% of those who managed to enter the gate after the first bell still counted as 'late'. Reason two: cause my classroom in on the THIRD FLOOR! No! That's not a selfish reason. The truth is, all of the classrooms are on the second or third floor. The first floor is for offices.

Hm? Opening ceremony? Yes, yes. There is an opening ceremony, of course. And that means I should not go into the classroom? Yes. I'm just talking about 'if this happen in another day'. So, today the reason two is not valid? Yes. But let me tell you something, for today, the reason two is: the Hall, where they held the opening ceremony, is located BEHIND the school building!

*second bell rings*

Uh-oh. Okay, I'm entering the school building now. There's a map for the freshmen so that they can find the hall where opening ceremony is held. Some freshmen who are late, or I should say, in same condition as me –I mean, in a verge of late or not— rushing through the map. Heh, what a pity. For me, this school is pretty familiar. I even have gotten to know some of teachers here.

So, I got passed the school building. The Hall…ah, there! Quick!

*door opens*

*third bell rings*

Phew, safe…


Kaji Aoi

Ah~ the weather is good today! 6.00 a.m. Whoa, I guess I'm leaving for school too early. Well, that's not matter. It's good to have a plenty time before arriving at school. I can walk slowly and take a good look for many things I won't notice if I need to hurry. The sweet, sweet scent of morning is so nice~

*stretch*

Good weather, sweet scent of morning, beautiful landscape to look at. What a perfect day!

Ah, I managed to arrive at school…too early, of course. My house is just about 15minutes walk on foot from school. I stop in front of the gate. This gate, whoa, so big and strong. Yet it has a beautiful style. The artist must be a person who has a great taste.

Hm? Ah! I'm standing in front of the gate, looking on it, adoring it... What am I doing? Haha… I look like a kindergarten boys. Okay, okay. Stop this and enter the school.

The school garden! I love this place! So much! Somehow, it reminds me of 'that place'. That place, where I found her. Yes, it was as green as this school garden. The difference is, that place is located near the sea –which somehow make me see her as a mermaid rose from the sea of sound— and this garden is located near the…school building. Haha… of course! This is a school garden.

Entering the school building. Ah, there are the lists of classroom. Hm…Kaji Aoi…Kaji Aoi…Kaji Aoi…ah, there you are! Class 3-1.

3-1? Ah, yes. I'm a third year student now. It's almost a year after I transferred here.

Oh! And she is… where's her name?

"Huh? Kaji?"

"Tsuchiura!"

"So, you're early too. Which class are you in?"

"Tsuchiura too. Me? Ah, I'm in class 3-1."

"3-1, huh? Let's see…where's my name? hm…Oi, Kaji, help me search for it too."

"Okay, okay."

Tsuciura Ryoutaro…Tsuchiura Ryoutaro…Tsuciura— eh?

"Tsuchiura, is this yours?"

"Where? Ah, yes. That's me. Class…3-1?"

"We're in the same class!"

"Well, that's good."

"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!"

"Ah, kochira koso, yoroshiku."

Whoa, whoa! I'm in the same class with Tsuchiura! Wow! Wow!

"Kaji-kun? Tsuchiura-kun?"

That voice! It's—

"Oi, Hino. Here, here."

—her!

"Hino-san, ohayou!"

"What's up? So early too."

"Ohayou, Kaji-kun. Ah, yes. Somehow, I can't sleep."

"Eh, what?"

"Hm? I can't sleep."

"Eh? Hino-san, are you sick? Did you happen to see doctor? Do you—"

"Hahaha!"

"Ts— Tsuciura-kun!"

"Tsuchiura?"

"Hahaha…sorry, sorry. What are you? A kindergarten? Can't sleep before the school starts. Hahaha."

"That's not funny! I really can't sleep."

"That's why it's funny."

"Tsuchiura-kun!"

"Ah, gomen, gomen. I'm just joking."

"Hino-san, are you really alright?"

"What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine."

"Can you stand? Can you walk?"

"K— Kaji-kun... I'm okay."

"By the way, Hino, which class are you in?"

"Huh? Let me see… Hino Kahoko…ah, there!"

"Where? Hm? Wait, that is… Hino, you…"

"Wah! Hino-san!"

"Eh? Wh— what?"

"So, Hino, we are—"

"—in the same class!"
