Author's note: OMG it's the first time I'm submitting a fic here. So exciting, haha. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to upload the document successfully later... Well, wish myself good luck =X

My intial fic - planned a few months back - was cancelled, because I think there was another fic with a similar plot. So in the end I didn't publish any of the 4 chapters that I had already written.

Not that I have read each and every Corda fic in here, so I can't be for sure that my current plot hasn't been written before.

Meh, ah well. Hope you fans enjoy the story! (:

'Cuz Your Love is Fake – Chapter 1: Strength

"Hey, hey, did you hear? Hino Kahoko from 2-2 was dating Yunoki-sama secretly, and they just broke up recently."

"Really? Who found out?"

"Hino Kahoko herself spread the rumour to her classmates!"

"No way, such a person exists? And I thought her music was nice too..."

No, I didn't mean to. Everyone was asking me why I looked so dejected, so I just told them...

*bump*

Ouch, I wasn't looking where I was going...... Tsu-tsu-!

"Hey, are you blind?"

No way!

Even Tsuchiura-kun is treating me like this? Why?! Just because of one single rumour... Is that jerk's influence that great?


I have to say something...
"I'm sorry, Tsuchi-,"

"I'm outta here. I'm really disappointed in you, Hino."

Why? What have I landed myself into? Is it really my fault?
Everyone has turned their backs on me. I hate Yunoki Azuma, I hate him! But maybe it's my fault that we broke up. Aah, he still looks so mesmerizing from here...

"Hino-san! Good morning! Oh, I heard about it. Are you okay? I'm always there to catch you (insert heart shape)!"

At least I still have Kaji-kun. Should I give him a chance? I need romance to cheer me up. No, no, no. Gosh, what am I thinking? I don't have any feelings for him! I can't be so selfish!

"Hino..."

That voice, that coldness..."Ah, Tsukimori-kun,"

... Silence

Uh, why is he staring at me with such intensity?

...

"Um... may I help you?" I hope he doesn't disown me as well T^T

"Don't be late for practice today; 10 scales per minute."

He... he didn't give any snide remarks. He didn't mention about my break up. He spoke to me normally.

[Practice Room]

"You're late."

Huh? I am?

"You wasted 5 minutes of my time, waiting for you."

WTH?! O.O Aw, that's because you're early, Tsukimori-kun ^^" Ah well...

"You're right, I'm sorry."

"C minor – 50 times. N-O-W."

Sometimes I feel that Tsukimori-kun is a little harsh towards me. But I really appreciate him for taking time to teach me, despite my clumsiness. And the fact that he didn't abandon me because of my wrongdoings makes me feel secure.

*knock knock*

"Tsukimori-kun,"

OMG NUUUUU T_T Why does Azuma-chan have to come in so suddenly?!

"Yunoki-senpai,"

Oh lookie! That jerk greeted Tsukimori-kun but gave be a -_-" glance!

"I'm here to inform you of the details about the upcoming concour, which of course, some amateur wouldn't be taking part in.

I don't wanna listen anymore!!! Quickly tell him the details and LEAVE! I can't bear looking at you!

*slam*

Oh good, he's gone. Wait, why do I taste something salty? Why am I crying? We were not meant to be! We've broken up! I have to move on, right? But... why does he have to hate me so much?

"Are you done crying?"

...


Can't you be a little more considerate?

"Sigh, I give up. I'm going home,"

Wait...

"Practice ends here today."

WAIT, TSUKIMORI-KUN! Don't go... Shit, I can't force any sound out of myself. All I can do is cry. Why am I such a weakling? I need to get stronger, I NEED TO......

-To be continued-

Okay, that's it for the first introductory chapter. I'm pretty sure that I didn't explain everything clearly, so yeah, feel free to ask me your doubts and I'll answer them in the next chapter (:
