Turning Back Time (Chapter 1)
Threads of golden sunlight creped into the little dorm room, illuminating small parts of the room. The floor was piled up moving boxes and suitcases full of clothing. A girl with long luscious red hair and brilliant golden eyes was suited in a cap and gown.
"Hino, its time to go. You better hurry up or you'll be late for the graduation ceremony," called out a very tall girl with blue eyes. Her name was Sarah Rowen. She attended Juilliard with Hino and played the clarinet. They had been friends ever since they met each other at the first day of school.
"Okay, Wait! Let me just get on my shoes." She quickly grabbed pair of high heels and put them on and dashed out of the dorm after her friend. Today was her college graduation. After her gradation she had decided to go to Europe. Whenever she thought of Europe the first that came to her mind was Tsukimori. Ever since he had left, she had regretted never speaking out her true feelings for him. If I had told him how I really felt about him would be together strolling down a park holding hands or will the outcome still be the same as now if I hadn't? She quickly shook the gloomy thought off her mind. It's my graduation, now is not the time to think about this. Hino quickly sat on her seat next to Sarah as the procession was about to begin.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe…
The sound of an orchestra sounded throughout the auditorium. The audience was quiet, awe-struck by the delicate, yet confident sound ringing through their ears. A lone violin had started to play; Quietly at first but then gaining speed and intensity as the song reached its climax. The sound each note had was beautiful, with a clear ringing sound, but cold. After the orchestra had stopped playing, the auditorium burst with clapping; clearly everyone had enjoyed the performance. The violin soloist bowed to the audience and exited the stage and quickly went into his changing room.
He loosened his tie and sunk into his chair, tired from the earlier performance. He combed through his cerulean hair with his hands. A man that worked at the theater knocked at his door and informed him that someone by the name of Kazuki Hihara. Hearing that name instantly brought up memories of his high school life.
A man entered into the room. " Hi Tsukimori- san! It has been such a long time since I've seen you. You look a lot more mature than I remembered you to be." Said Hihara jokingly.
Hihara also looked more mature but he still has the same friendly personality. " Have you kept in contact with everyone these past years?" questioned Tsukimori. Obviously he was curious about Hino and whether or not she was still playing the violin
"Somewhat," he answered, "We still occasionally meet each other, but I haven't seen Hino ever since she had left to attend Juilliard."
Hino. As soon as Tsukimori heard that name, he felt a huge hammer had been struck at his chest . He was probably the only girl that he had ever respected. He could clearly remember the last time he had gazed into her bright golden eyes. For some strange reason whenever he heard her name his heart would always feel uneasy and anxious.
Tsukimori entered a large building with many beautiful balconies. He went into the to elevator and pressed the gold and round button marked "11." He traveled down the corridor and stopped at a door labeled "1384", pulled out a key and unlocked the deadbolt. He flicked on the lights and quietly set down his violin. He took a shower and then went to bed. He had trouble sleeping because all he thought about was Hino.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at New York...
"John Bradson, Lilly Chou, Jamie Nat, Sarah Row..."
Hino nervously waited for her name to be announced to the stage to recieve her diploma. She thought back to all the times she spent here and all the new friends she made. She suddenly regretted not staying in contact with her friends back in Japan. I wonder how everybody is doing... Hihara, Yunoki, Shimizu, Fuyuumi, Tsuchiura...Tsukimori. She remembered the concours and Lilli the farie. If I hadn't met lilli I probably would never thought about playing the violin and neevr have met them.
"Kahoko Hino..."
Hino nervously and carefully walked up the stage making sure not to trip over the jumble of wires running across the stage. A man handed her diploma and she left the stage. The seconds on the stage felt like it actually comfirmed that she had gradutated from music school and was ready the face the world. She took in a deep breath. Europe...here I come!
