She was just looking out of the window, staring at the sky. Her eyes were glazed as she was deep in thought. Within a minute, she faced away from the window and shut her eyes. She was feeling a headache coming and she definitely didn't like it one bit.

I shouldn't have slept too late last night.

A brunette with a trademark yellow headband walked towards the silent black-haired girl when she saw the latter closed her eyes. Usually she wouldn't be too concerned but after seeing her friend's tired form earlier this morning, she can't help but worry about the shy girl.

"Mio? You okay?"

The mentioned girl opened her eyes as soon as she heard her childhood friend's voice. Since she was the type that doesn't like worrying others, she gave a small smile and answered," Yea, Ritsu. I'm okay. Just sleepy."

The brunette raised one eyebrow as she suspected that Mio had lied and she obviously recognized that the smile was faked. However, she let the matter slide for now. The door of the classroom slid open and a teacher went in. And so, the lesson started. The lesson went slowly for both of the bassist and the drummer but they have different reasons for it.

As always, Ritsu got bored listening to the teacher's lecture since the teacher spoke monotonously; a complete opposite of her whole being. She was a girl of rhythm- and that means, she can't stay still too long especially if the subject got dragged too long.

Mio, on the other hand, was busy fighting to stay awake and tried to fend off the headache. Sometimes, her sight blurred and she can't focus on the lesson. She met the darkness as she collapsed sideways but luckily, Ritsu had closely observed her and managed to move and catch Mio before she hit the floor.

"Sensei! Akiyama-san fainted. I'm going to bring her to the nurse's office," Ritsu yelled out, cutting the teacher's sentence. The teacher was a bit surprised by the sudden outburst but gave permission to go to the sickbay.

Ritsu carried the unconscious girl to the doorway bridal-style and noticed that the door was already opened.

Who opened the door?

She looked around the classroom and found out that the two HTT members watched her and then, nodded before smiling a reassuring smile. Ritsu laughed inside her head and whispered a soft 'thank you' before steeping out of the classroom with the door sliding shut silently behind her.

"As I was saying…"

The teacher's voice faded away as she walked away, heading towards the infirmary which is located a floor below. Ritsu held Mio as closely as possible to avoid herself from losing her grip on her. That would be very disastrous and Mio would be mad at her if she knew Ritsu accidentally dropped her. Anyway, she carried on to her destination without much hindrance; all the students were in class studying and the teachers didn't try to stop her when they saw the unconscious girl in her hands.

They were only accompanied by the chirping of the birds as they flew past the blossoming Sakura tree in joy. The wind invited the petals to a dance, twirling in the air like a ballet. The day was very peaceful with a few streaks of sunlight passing into the hallway and the warm glow of sunlight illuminated the room perfectly.

The two teen girls had arrived at the nurse's office and with much difficulty (considering that the petite tall girl was still unconscious in Ritsu's arm), Ritsu managed to slid open the door. Inside, they were greeted by the school's nurse.

"Ara, what happened?"

"She collapsed during the lesson so I brought her here. May I borrow a bed for her to lie down?" Ritsu responded.

"Over here, be careful."

After Ritsu tucked Mio into the bed, she moved away from the bed, intending to return back to the lesson and took notes for Mio but then, a hand reached out to stop her.

"Don't go," Mio murmured in her slumber.

"Looks like you're going to be hanging around here for a while. Want some tea?" The school nurse offered as she saw the extended hand reaching for Ritsu.

"I'll take your offer, sensei." Ritsu sighed as she sat by the bed.

So you won't let go of my hand, huh Mio. I'll be right here.
