Hand of God

"So which is it: the boy who writes the songs or the boy who's in them?
Who's the girl? Is this truth or is he writing fiction?"
- Hand of God, Fall Out Boy.

This will be a collection of short drabbles and one-shots based on the La Corda characters.

Not The Only One

She was distracted.

That's what it had to be.

That was the only thing it could be.

Kahoko sighed and carefully placed her violin inside it's case. "There's no way I can practice..."

She picked up her sheet music and stuffed it in her bag before grabbing the case and out of the soundproof room.Once outside the room, she slid to the floor and leaned against the wall. Why does this always happen to me? She sighed again. How can they have that good concentration skills? Am I really that bad?

"U-um, Kaho-senpai?" Kahoko jumped, the violin case falling off her lap. She looked around wildly before she saw Fuyuumi standing next to her in the hallway. "Ah! I didn't mean to startle you, Kaho-senpai!"

Kahoko smiled up at the first year and patted the spot on the floor next to her. The girl took the hint and sat down, smoothing her skirt after she did so.

"Ah, it's perfectly alright, Fuyuumi-chan," She set the girl's fears aside. "I should have been paying more attention, anyway."

"Really?" At Kahoko's nod, the girl smiled. "U-um, Kaho-senpai, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, you don't even have to ask,"

"O-okay," Fuyuumi paused. "Kaho-senpai, why are you sitting here?"

"Eh?!" Kahoko seemed surprised.

"Ah, no! I didn't mean it that way, Kaho-senpai! I'm sorry!" Fuyuumi nervously bowed her head.

"Ah, Fuyuumi-chan!" Kahoko waved her hands around. "I was just surprised, that's all." Fuyuumi looked up and Kahoko smiled again. "I was just thinking. It was nothing important."

"O-oh," Fuyuumi looked up at her. "Are you sure? You seem troubled, Kaho-senpai."

"I-I do?"

"Y-yes, Kaho-senpai, you have." Fuyuumi looked concerned. "U-um, would you please tell me what's bothering you, Kaho-senpai?"

Kahoko set her violin case on her lap and stared at her hands. "Well, I've been feeling a bit distracted lately, Fuyuumi-chan. I haven't been able to finish playing a single song."

"I-is that all?" Kahoko looked up, surprised. Fuyuumi was smiling.

"Eh?"

"Kaho-senpai, everyone gets distracted."
