A/N: Hi, my name is Alina. I made this story for my 3rd period business skills class. It was a project. It's supposed to be a children's book though. But I suck at children's book and ended up making this. Since you people will never read this, it doesn't really matter. Oh, and every single character in here is majorly OOC!!(out of character for those who don't know what it stands for) and also, there is one OC.(other character) so I hope you guys like it. Flames are encouraged. If you think this story is stupid and crappy, feel free to say so. Also, please review if and or when you finish reading the story. So yeah, on with the story.
Why Are You Crying?
'"Why…
Are… you crying..." A male's voice echoed through the halls.
"I'm crying… because… I'm sad…"A different, female
voice echoed through the hallways…'
To this day, I still remember
what had happened when I first met her. She looked so beautiful, and
yet so fragile at the same time. I still remember what she said to me
that day.
Flashback - 5 years ago
It was near sunset, and my friends and I were talking, and joking around near our school campus, which is known through out the country for its beautiful meadow of cherry blossom trees near the school campus. We were still pretty near the school, so it didn't take log to get to the entrance. I always thought she looked beautiful, so much that words couldn't even begin to describe how.
It all happened 5 years ago, when we were only 14 years old. We were all playing around, laughing, joking around to our heart's content. "Hey Ayumu!" Hizumi exclaimed to me. "What is it?" I replied back.
"Do
you hear that?" Hizumi asked.
"No, I don't. What is it?" I asked in
curiosity.
"Well, I hear… something. It sounds a lot like music
to me." Hizumi answered back.
"Oh, Really? That's strange," I
mumbled "how about we go find out where it's coming from!" I
suggested.
"Okay!" Kanone, Hiyono and Hizumi exclaimed in unison.
We walked towards our school in search of the faint music that we could hear from our distance. As we walked closer and closer to the school, the ever more slightly did the music grow louder and louder. As we came closer and closer, I could now distinguish the noise, or rather musical instrument, which was being played, it was a piano. The only piano we had at school was in the music room!
Having
a break through on where the music was coming from I said, "Hey!
Guys! I think the music's coming from the music room! Let's go
check it out!"
"Yeah, okay!" Hizumi agreed. We ran towards the
entrance of the school, some sports teams still had practice, so the
doors were still unlocked. The music was getting even louder as we
got closer to the music room.
By the time we reached the school doors, we have stopped running, and were now walking towards the band room, a bit out of breath. "It's so calm, and peaceful. And yet soft and melodic at the same time." Kanone commented.
"I've
heard this before," Hiyono whispered. While walking just a bit
closer to the room, down the empty hallway, we already entered the
school, and were now only a few mere feet away from the music room.
"It's
called Kiss the Rain by Yurima. Almost every time I hear this,
it makes me want to cry." Hiyono whispered quietly, but still loud
enough for us to hear. Her eyes were beginning to fill up with unshed
tears.
"Aw. Come on now, don't cry." Kanone whispered to Hiyono, trying to comfort her. She sniffed a few times before she answered, "Yeah, your right." She now began to rub away her unshed tears. The music was pretty loud since we were now only at the end of the hallway at where the music room was.
"It's
such a soothing piece of work, that if you were mad, it could
probably calm you down." I said softly, but loud enough so that the
others could hear me over the piano.
"Hey, Hizumi, what do you
think of it? We haven't heard you talk all this time we were
searching." I asked Hizumi. "Well, I agree with you Ayumu."
Hizumi said.
We now started to walk down the hallway toward the music room's door. As we walked closer, we could see the person playing the piano, a bit more clearly through the glass windows. "Who do you suppose is playing the piano, Hiyono?" I asked her. "I'm not so sure, but who ever it is sure put a lot of their emotion into playing this. You can just feel this person's mixture of emotions in this piece." Hiyono answered back.
By now, we were standing only a mere foot away from the music room door, to our convenience the door was open, and we could see the person, or rather girl, that was playing the piano. She had beautiful shiny long blue hair; it was tied up in a loose pony tail with a headband with a pale skin color, just like a porcelain doll.
Her skin looked so soft, and smooth, yet also so fragile at the same time. She was playing Kiss the Rain, with her eyes closed; I also couldn't see her face that well due to the piano. She had tears rolling down her cheeks, whether from sadness, or joy, I couldn't tell.
The mysterious girl finally stopped playing, and stood up from her chair. "Who's there?!" the girl said. She now had her eyes open; looking in the direction we were hiding. Although she still had tears in her eyes.
"I guess you caught us." I said, walking into the room with my hands up in the air, followed by Hiyono, Hizumi and Kanone. "That was a beautiful piece of work you just played there." I said while I nodded my head towards the piano. 'When I first heard her beautiful voice, my heart skipped a beat. Why, why did it do that, and why do I feel this way? I feel like my chest is tightening at the mere sight of her. Why is this happening to me? Why?' I thought quietly to myself.
"T-t-thanks."
The girl stuttered a bit quietly with a small smile tugging at her
lips. She was still crying.
"Why are you crying?" I asked her,
while taking a few steps towards the girl. 'Something seems so
familiar about this' I thought. I remember…something like this
happened before, but when?
Different flashback
I
remember seeing this when I was younger. '"Why are you crying?"
A male's voice echoed.
"I'm crying… because… I'm sad…"A
different, female voice echoed through the dark but beautiful field…'
It's such a distant memory.
End of different flashback
"I'm crying because… I am sad." The girl said. Do you know who that girl was? Her name was Kyra Niwa. Ever since then we have become good friends with each other until this very day.
End Flashback
"Hey! Ayumu! What's wrong with you? We've been calling your name for the past few minutes! Didn't you hear us?" Hizumi said, while clinging a bit on my shoulder.Snapping out of my daze I said, "No, sorry, so what were you saying?" I replied back.
"I was saying, come on! We have to go now!" Not knowing what Hizumi was talking about for a minute, I just simply stared at him. "Oh! Yeah right! We have to get to class!" I exclaimed, finally getting what he meant.
"Well duh silly." Kyra said smiling at the silly scene. 'This is going to be a long day' I thought looking up at the sky with a small sigh escaping my lips...
