Okay, this is my first time writing school life fiction...I guess it's not only General/Romance. It's General/ Dramatic Romance (and maybe drama).

so please enjoy my story.(Set after the magic violin strings break. Yep, it's anime plot but it will follow a bit of manga later on, I guess.)

This is a revised version.

"Kanayan…she hasn't come to practice lately right?" A green haired boy asked.

"Well, to be precise after the 3rd selection, she never comes to practice anymore." Kanazawa answered to the boy.

"Do you know why?" The green haired boy continued to ask.

"Why don't you just go ask her yourself? After all you two were so close, isn't it?" Kanazawa saw the boy heavily sighed before he leaves the room.

"Kahoko! We're going to the shop at the front of the station, do you want to go?" A brown haired girl asked the red haired one.

"Of course, I would love to-"

"Come with me first, sorry, I've something urgent with her." The green haired boy dragged away the red haired away from the others without letting her protest.

"Tsuchiura-kun! Let go of my arm! Stop dragging me!" Tsuchiura didn't release his grasp on Hino's arm.

"The last selection is only six days away! I already asked Kanayan, you haven't practice after the 3rd concour right?" Tsuchiura shouted.

"Why do I have to practice? I'm going to withdraw after all; I'm going to tell Kanazawa sensei…I'm going to quit playing violin." Hino's voice was sad and painful.

"Why are you going to quit after you've come this far! Are you sure, you can live up with that?" Tsuchiura asked.

"Why do you have to care about me? It isn't your business, isn't it!?" Hino yelled.

"……If it wasn't you, I wouldn't be able to play piano again. I don't want you to suffer the same fate as me! I know how terrible it is! If it wasn't for you…if it wasn't for you…I wouldn't play piano again…" Tsuchiura's word made Hino stop struggling.

"Tsuchiura-kun….." Hino spoke, voice lowly.

Tsuchiura pulled Hino up to him and hugged her.

"Please…don't stop playing violin, I beg of you…for me…" Tsuchiura said.

"But…but…I don't know…I just don't know what to do anymore…that violin…was so precious because someone gave it to me and I broke it…..because of my stupid feelings…" Hino cried in Tsuchiura's arm.

"For now…go calm down, I'll see what I can do, okay?" Hino nodded at the boy suggestion.

"I'll walk you back to your house…is that okay with you?" Hino nodded.

Tsuchiura held Hino and together, they walked out of the school building and outside of the school wall.

"Hey, Hino cheer up a bit…" Hino didn't reply to Tsuchiura request.

Tsuchiura carried Hino onto his arm. "Tsu-tsuchiura-kun! What are you doing!? I-I can walk on my own" Hino protested Tsuchiura but he didn't put Hino down.

"This way, it will be faster." Tsuchiura ran with Hino on his arms toward her house.

Hino remains silent for the rest of time.

Tsuchiura rang the doorbell, and a few minutes later. A woman opened the door.

"Hino, we've reached…oh, she's sleeping. Umm…I'll take her to her room if you give me permission…" Tsuchiura asked the woman who opened the door and she nodded.

After Tsuchiura placed Hino on her bed, he bowed his head to the woman and she said thank you to him and he leaves afterward.

After a few hours have passed, Hino began to wake up.

"Mmm….huh…? How come, I'm sleeping on my bed…" Hino said to herself.

"Your boyfriend took you back home and he's the one who put you on the bed…he even carried things for you, how nice." A woman teased her.

"Huh? What are you saying, mom!? Tsuchiura is not my boyfriend! Jeez…" Hino said.

"Anyway, it's 7 pm now. Dinner is on the table okay?" Hino nodded before her mother leaves the room.

Hino went down the stair and go take her dinner on the table. After Hino finish cleaning up, the phone rang.

"Hino, will you get the phone?" Hino sighed but said ok to her mother.

"Hello…this is- Tsuchiura-kun? Ho-how did you know my house phone number?" Hino stuttered.

"That's easy, I asked your mother for it…anyway…are you free tomorrow? I already asked the old guy, he said that he knew someone who can repair the violin for you." Tsuchiura said over the phone.

"Of course, tomorrow is Saturday, so I'm free…" Hino replied.

"Then I go pick you up at 10 a.m. okay?" Tsuchiura asked.

"Okay…Tsuchiura-kun…thank you…thank you for everything…if it…if it wasn't for you…I wouldn't- I wouldn't.." Hino cried over the phone.

"Hino stop-stops crying…you're making me-" "blushing!" Another voice came over the phone from Tsuchiura's side.

"Any-anyway, see you tomorrow, Hino!" Tsuchiura hung up the phone.

"Nee-chan! What're you doing!? She can hear you too!" Tsuchiura yelled at his sister.

"What did I just do? Help you realize your own feeling. If you like the girl then why don't you-"

"Hino and I aren't like that!" Tsuchiura said.

"So Hino is her name. huh? She's dumb?" Tsuchiura's sister teased Tsuchiura's feelings and she's successes in doing so because Tsuchiura heated up very fast.

"I can't believe that kid Tsuchiura is in love." Tsuchiura sister giggled.

"Shut up…jeez…" Tsuchiura walked up to his room and slammed the door shut.

"Ehh….did I over do it, mom?"

"You sure are…"

"Mom…I'll go take a shower and go straight to bed…I'll be out for tomorrow too." Hino didn't wait her mother's answer and went up stair, taking a shower and went straight to bed.

"Hino…I…" Tsuchiura leaned his face towards Hino…

"Kahoko…Kahoko! Wake up already, your friend's come to pick you up!" Hino's mother shook the girl body.

"What is it…mom?" Hino said drowsily.

"Your friend is waiting! It's already 10 am!"

"What!" Hino rushed out of the room to getting herself ready. Hino mother sighed before walked back down the stair.

After Hino finally dressed herself up, she grabbed the violin bag and ran down the stairs.

"I'm sorry, Tsuchiura-kun. I slept over!" Hino apologized.

"Heheh, it's alright. So are you ready?" Hino nodded.

"Then mom, I'm off!" Hino said to her mother and Tsuchiura bowed down his head to Hino's mother and then they take off together.

"Feeling any better?" Tsuchiura put his hand on Hino's shoulder and grabbed it gently.

"Yeah…thank you, Tsuchiura-kun…If it wasn't because of you…I…I would…" Tsuchiura smiled and tell Hino that it's all right.

"Hey, we're at Minami instruments at last." Tsuchiura opened the door and take Hino in with him.

"Oh, Ryou! Good timing, here. He is my friend, he knows how to repair violin well." Minami introduced.

"Please to meet you, called me as Nakata. And you're?" Nakata asked.

"I'm Hino, Hino Kahoko." Hino introduced herself.

"So I guess you're Tsuchiura Ryoutarou. I heard about you many times, but I'm not here to talk. Miss, may I see your violin?" Hino nodded and took out her violin.

"Does it have any damage? Three…three strings snapped all at once…." Hino said. Nakata took around the violin, observe every pieces of the violin.

"Hmm, from what I've observe…there's no damage to the violin itself even three strings snapped at once. Just replace strings and it will be ready to be play again." Nakata said.

"Umm…if possible I like to keep this golden string…can I?" Nakata nodded.

"Then it's A, D, G, three strings.

Nakata taught Hino from beginning how to replace and how tight it should be. After they finished replacing the strings. Nakata bid farewell and told the two men to help Hino tune her Violin.

"Why was he in such a rush!?" Tsuchiura said.

"Ahh…don't mind him. It was already a good thing that he came here. Then let's tune Hino-san's violin. Tsuchiura nodded.

"Then let's try with G first, it's Sol sound." Hino nodded.

Hino played the violin but the sound that comes out sound like a screech sound.

"Hino…" Tsuchiura muttered.

"Please…please don't ask anything about this…this is me…the real me..." Hino said

Tsuchiura looked at Hino with worried eyes but if Hino didn't want to say about it then he won't ask or say anything.

They tuned the sound for a while after they have finished, Tsuchiura says. "Hmm…somehow you stance isn't right…I mean…in the past it looks more correct. You probably have to ask someone to teach you. Maybe Ousaki-senpai or Tsukimori."

"Then…would you mind come with me to the amusement park? I have something to tell you…" Hino nodded, she never turns any request from her friend down anyway.

Tsuchiura takes Hino into the amusement park and went straight to the Ferris wheel.

"Tsu-Tsuchiura-kun…" Tsuchiura looked back at Hino and smiled. He dragged her up into the Ferris wheel.

"Sorry…for rushing like this…" Tsuchiura said.

"It-it's okay…but what do you want to tell me?" Tsuchiura didn't reply but kept silent.

"If I tell you…will you hate or angry with me?" Tsuchiura asked but his voice contains a little bit of sadness in it.

"No…I won't…I promise…" Hino said.

"Then close your eyes…please…" Hino slowly closed her eyes as the Ferris wheel the highest. Tsuchiura leaned his face towards Hino as theirs lips finally met.

Hino was in quite a shock and after Tsuchiura broke off, Tsuchiura said "Hino…I…I love you."

Hino used her hands to cover her mouth and unable to say anything.

They remained silent for the rest of the wheel…

After the wheel reached the end, Tsuchiura whispered to Hino's ear that 'I'm sorry' and ran off.

Hino walked silently back towards her home. Hino opened the door to her house and ran up stairs without caring to listen to what her mother said to her.

"Tsuchi…Tsuchiura-kun…Tsuchiura-kun…is…but…what about me…how do I…feel about him." Hino let her tear ran down her face. Tsuchiura was honest with his feelings but Hino…never realize it.

Hino's POV

What do I feel…with Tsuchiura-kun…a friend? Or more…but when he was at my side…I felt happy…it's different from everyone else…it's a warm feeling around him that made him special from the others.

Maybe…I'll go talk with him tomorrow.

Tsuchiura POV.

What the hell did I just do to Hino…Isn't this cheating Hino? I ran off…without hearing her feelings…Heh, what a man I am…damn…what were I thinking!?

I ended up hurting…Hino…feelings. In the end…I…

Tsuchiura punched his fists into the wall of his room.

"Hey, mom. Is Ryoutarou alright? He looked so depressed." Tsuchiura's sister said.

"Who know? If he doesn't want to talk about it then you shouldn't force it out of him." Tsuchiura's mother said.

"Then I'll go ask Ryoutarou-niisan." Tsuchiura's little brother began to ran upstairs but his sister grabbed him before he reached the stairs.

"Hey, didn't you listen to what mom just said?" The girl scolded the younger boy.

"But don't you want to know? Maybe it's about his girlfriend." The boy didn't give up his intention.

"Even so, I would rather hear from himself when he's ready!" The boy frowned but stopped.

"Leave him be for now."

The following day, Hino keep getting her locked up in her room but when her phone rang. She answered to the phone.

"Kaho-chan? Are you free today, let's go shopping!" Mio said over the phone.

"….I guess…I will be free for the whole…day." Hino replied over the phone.

"Kaho-chan? Are you feeling okay? Your voice seems to be-"

"I'm okay, Mio…" Hino cut the girl off.

"…Okay, then let's meet up in one hour at the mall entrance okay? I already called Nao-chan. Then don't be late." Hino put the phone down after Mio hanged up the phone.

Hino began changing her dress for going out. After she finished get dressed, Hino tell her mom that she will be going to the mall with Mio and Nao.

"Be careful, out there! Kahoko." Hino's mother told the girl before the girl leaves.

Hino walked to the mall and waited for Mio and Nao to show up. Hino watched her watch and look around, viewing the people's action.

"Ah, Kaho-chan!" Mio called Hino.

"Mio…Nao…" Hino muttered.

"Come on, cheer up. Kaho! We want you to relax, after all you seemed so tired after the Concour." Nao said.

"You two….thank you…" The girl hugged then they spend a few hours, shopping, karaoke, and talking about theirs life.

"So, Kaho. Did you get your violin fixed? I heard from the guys that the strings were snapped." Nao asked.

"It was fixed…someone helped me." Hino said.

"Ehhh, by whom do you mean??" Mio asked with curiosity to know.

"…….." Hino didn't reply and keep silent.

"If it's troubling you…you don't need to answer. But you will continue to play the violin right?" Mio asked.

"I guess so…" Hino replied.

"Hey, come on. Cheer up! Kaho." Nao said. Hino looked at her watch, it's already 5 pm.

"Nao, Mio…I guess I'll call it a day. I want to try the violin, after it was fixed. I haven't had the time to play any pieces." Hino told her friends.

"Okay, then good luck, Kaho-chan. And be careful on the way home!" The girls went separated way back to theirs respective home.

Hino walked her way back home. "Mom, I'm back. Anything happen while I'm away?"

"Hmm, ah, there was someone called, he wanted to speak with you. I forgot to ask his name."

"It's okay, mom…I think I know who called me" Hino said before walking up the stairs.

Hino took the violin and tried to play Gavotte, but the result wasn't good. The sound that came out was very different from the time she used Lili's magic violin to play.

"The sound was bad…I'll have to try harder…" Hino continued to practice her violin with all of the pieces she have been playing so far

Today's Monday, she has to go to school but Hino doesn't know what she had to do if she has to confront Tsuchiura.

Hino walked passed the entrance gate of Seiso's academy. She looked out for the green haired pianist. After she didn't see him, Hino walked up to the General Education Apartment.

Hino choose the route that avoiding Class 5 as far as possible. After she finally reached her class, Hino slowly opened the door. Hino saw Sasaki talking with Mio and Nao.

"Umm…Sasaki-kun, if Tsuchiura-kun come looking for me, told him that you didn't see me…okay?" Hino asked the yellow haired boy.

"Huh? And why's that? You know…Tsuchiura was very scary if he's angry. I don't want to face that side of him…" Sasaki asked.

"…He probably tell you soon…but please…don't ask anything…" Sasaki nodded. The school's bell rang and they have to begin the class.

Tsuchiura talked to Sasaki during the lunch break.

"Sasaki…is Hino looking down? Tsuchiura asked his soccer club friend.

"I don't think so, what's the problem? Something happened between you two?" Sasaki asked the bigger boy.

"Well….."

"Kaho…why do you have to avoid Tsuchiura?" Nao asked.

"It's nothing…I just don't want to see him right now." Hino replied.

"Are you really happy with that? I guess that this was really why you were feeling down yesterday, right?´ Nao really knew Hino well.

"It's nothing to be worry of." Hino said.

"No, it's not. I don't want to see you looking sad right this!" Nao shouted.

"Nao…"

"If you don't say anything, then how could we help you?"

"I….I…."

"It's okay, Kaho-chan. You could count on us." Mio said."

"Well…."
