Chapter One: In a Flash

Setting

Amo, Hino, Fuyuumi, Mio and Nao are sitting together in the crowded lunchroom. The competition has ended four months ago. Hino and Fuyuumi are joking around with Mio and Nao as they discuss the school gossip. Hino notices that Amo's face is creased with annoyance as she is deep in thought.

"Amo-san…" Hino starts…

"I JUST DON'T GET IT!! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!?!" the school journalist suddenly yells as she stands up and glares at Hino. The lunchroom falls silent as heads turn toward the sound. The red-haired violinist is frozen with shock, staring at her friend.

As she realized what was going on Amo snapped out of her angry trance. Blushing furiously as she stuttered, "G-g-gomme na s-sai," and sheepishly lowered herself back into her seat.

Not to be deterred though Amo puts on her it's-exclusive-interview-time-and-I'm-going-to-juice-the-information-out-of-you-no-matter-what face and turns toward the still frozen, slightly terrified Hino.

"Sorry about that," Amo begins in a lower tone, "but I'm curious Hino-san." She pulls out her notebook. "You've heard about the violin romance?" she begins with a sly smile.

Hino, still a bit shell-shocked, replies, "Yes but isn't it a bit late for that? The competition ended a long time ago Amo-san."

"Yes I know it ended a long time ago! And YOU Hino have still not had your violin romance yet!" exclaimed Amo. "I mean it wouldn't be hard for you though, with all the guys already liking you and everything."

"Hah?! No way it just isn't…" Hino denied, only to be cut off by Amo.

"You're just too dense aren't you Hino?" Amo said shaking her head. "So tell me," she said coolly, "What you think about Ryotaro Tsuchiura?"

That caught Hino off-guard.

"Tschiura-kun?" Hino replied. Tschiura is a close friend. He's another General Studies student I can talk to anytime, almost like a big brother. Close to me, but still a friend.

"He's a…friend. A close one but not in the way you're hoping it is Amo-san." Hino said matter-of-factly.

Amo's pen scratched the information down into her notebook, "Then what about Yunoki?" she inquired.

"Yunoki…"Hino started.

A guy who puts up a façade of being a sweet heaven-sent gentleman and wins all those foolish girl's hearts. Really he's like a demon ready to prey on unsuspecting victims (a.k.a. me.) Hino thought to herself.

"Yunoki is okay…I guess. He seems like a good person." Hino replied putting extra emphasis on the SEEMS as she remembered all the times he had teased her.

Amo's pen kept running across the page as she said, "Hihara? Shimizu?"

Hino sighed. Hihara, the walking sound system, he's nice but still acts like a child. His music is beautiful though, it always cheers me up. Shimizu is like a little brother, sleepy, a talented cellist and has the smile of an angel.

"Hihara and Shimizu are friends too." Hino answered.

The pen scratched so furiously across the page Hino wouldn't be surprised is the notebook caught on fire!

As her writing slowed Amo sighed. "Then what about…Tsukimori?" she asked, the last male concourse participant whom she had not grilled Hino about.

Hino fell silent at the mention of that name. Tsukimori….I like him…kind of….as a mentor. But there's no way he could like me. She thought sadly.

"He's a skilled musician, smart and good-looking…"Hino stated, "But there's no way he could like me."

"You're a hopeless case Kahoko Hino." commented Amo as the table fell silent.

Soon enough though the conversation started back up as Fuyuumi told the table about the new fans she had found. As the bell rang Hino, Mio and Nao left for class, Fuyuumi dashed over to the music department and Amo made a beeline to the journalism room for her trusty camera and film.

Later after class let out Hino walked to the practice rooms with her trusted and treasured violin in hand. Today was the day she would finally master the piece she had been working so hard on. "Hm hm hm hmmm…hmm hmm hmmm…"Hino cheerfully hummed the tune as she skipped inside a room.

After a very fulfilling practice session Hino tenderly stroked her violin as she lowered it into its case. "We did a good job today didn't we?" she praised her violin. Books, music and violin in hand Hino walked towards the door when all of a sudden Tsukimori burst in!

Hino, shocked, fell backwards. Len held a hand out for her as she flailed about books and papers flying everywhere and violin crashing to the floor. As she grabbed his hand she effectively (and on accident) pulled him down with her. As they both crashed to the floor Amo-san ran into the hallway. She was following Tsukimori in hopes of getting a comment on his view on the "Violin Romance".

In the practice room Hino groaned. She lifted up her head and looked around. Her books and music were scattered everywhere. The female violinist sighed in relief when she saw her beloved instrument was still in perfect shape. Then Hino froze and let out a shriek!

Amo, upon hearing this, rushed to the practice room she heard the sound from. Tiptoeing closer without a sound she peered in. What she saw astounded her.

Tsukimori and Hino.

Alone in a room, door closed.

Hino's skirt up.

Tsukimori's hand on her thigh.

Both of them staring intently(lovingly?) into one another's eyes.

Amo Nami's SCOOP! alarm went off in her head.

Flashback: The Fall

As Tsukimori and Hino were falling Len stuck out his hands to brace his fall. But when they landed his hand, on accident (yes on ACCIDENT), fell on her exposed thigh. They had stayed there, frozen in shock, noticing for the first time how beautiful the other person's eyes were.

Back to the Present Time

Hino's mind was whirling as her heart beated 100 miles per hour. What happened? Why are we in this position? Wait. Calm. Down. He has such beautiful golden eyes… AH! How did we get like this? Why is he…Hino's thoughts were interrupted as all of a sudden, in one moment, the unthinkable happened.

It was all over.

A camera flashed.
