Iridecent's POV

"Do you believe like I believe?
Do you believe in magic?"

The music stopped after I sung the last few cords. As I took off the headphones the sound of clapping flowed through the room. Looking over I saw Saotome, Ryuga, and Ringo. "Well done Neon. You still have your spark, don't lose it." The words of Saotome flowed through the speaker connecting the onlooker area to the performance room. "Now would that be the song for the assignment I slipped into your violin case, or something else?"

"Something else, I promised Ringo a song for his new album, so I've been working on one, though I got caught up in listening to some old rock music and ended up with this instead." As I finished that I earned some laughter. "Well, you might want to start on that assignment, you actually have a partner for this, his name is Syo, I told him I'd find you and send you to him since it's now lunch, now go!"

I quickly packed up my belongings and left the room running to the cafeteria. Running through I couldn't believe that I forgot one very important detail; I don't even know what this person looks like. "

"Hey, Syo-Chan, where did you go? SYO?" Syo isn't that the name of whom I got partnered with. Turning around I saw a tall blond guy with glasses looking around. Walking over I tapped him on the shoulder as he turned to look at me. "You are so cute!" As I heard that he went to hug me and I felt myself get pulled out of the way.

"BAKA! You can't just hug every one you see when you want to." Looking over my shoulder I saw a guy slightly taller than me with a fedora. 'Isn't he in my class? As I was looking at him I heard whining behind me and then I saw a pair of eyes lock with mine. "Hey aren't you that girl that ran out of the class room?"

"Now that you mention it, you're Ringo cousin, the one who played for us, so cute!" I felt a pair of hands latch onto me and pull me to a chest, "So what are you doing here?" Tilting my head back I saw the guy with glasses again.

"I heard that I was supposed to meet up with a Syo here for a project that was assigned to the entire class. Have either of you seen him?" As I moved my gaze to the person in front of me I saw him smirk and point to himself, "I'm Syo, and I'm your partner so have any ideas about what to do?"

"I have a ton, but none are for you, they are songs that I'm writing for presents, you'll have to wait, so a duet or single singer?" I got myself out of the hug and walked up to Syo with a tilted head. Not answering he walked off to a table filled with people and started to motion me over. "Come on we'll talk music later, come eat." Shocked I walked over only to be introduced to many more people; only one other person was in my class. The others recognized me from my surprising performance in the class room. Ren, whose name I learned in the introduction of the people at the table, was trying to flirt with me, stopped when he learned that I was only thirteen. Everyone started to laugh when he realized that not only was I Ringo's cousin, but four years younger than him.

"Hey, I heard you mention a recording studio, can you show us when our class is over?" Syo looked over with hopeful eyes. I looked around the table and saw everyone looking at me the same way, other than Haruka. "Why not, well that's the bell, you all should get back to class, and I need to go work on my song." Gathering my stuff I started to leave, "Hey, meet me in the abandoned art room." Running out of the lunch room I went towards the old elective hallway. Electives were a thing of the past, Saotome tried having an elective course, but no one was really interested so the rooms were left vacant, I now have overrun that hall with decking out the different rooms, and only a few people have keys to these rooms, and know to leave them locked. These people are Saotome, the janitors, Ryuga, Ringo and I. The woodshop class is where I fix my instruments and make props, the sewing room is my personal closet, the home Ec. room is still home Ec., I prefer to make my own food. I turned the Art room into a huge collage, though the other rooms do have custom walls, and it is where I practice, the walls give off perfect acoustics. Lastly I made the dance room is still a dance room, though the closet is large enough to have a bed in it, so the closet now contains a bed.

Entering the sewing closet I went over to the area where I keep my dance clothes and pulled out my outfits, looking over them I pulled the basic ballet outfit; this allows for the best movement.

After changing I went to the dance room and started to play different songs and practice song routines that either went with them or ones that I made. I began to lose myself in the music that I didn't check the time and the next thing I know I'm in the middle of a song that was in Ice Princess and was approaching the triple Lutz. I made the jump as I heard the door open. Startled I missed the landing and fell on my ankle wrong, producing a sickening crack. "Iridecent/Iri-chan!" I felt people approach me from my left. I raised my head while cradling my ankle; I looked to the left and saw the crew from lunch. "Hey, I see you found your way." I felt hands grasp both my back and knees. I turned and saw Masato picking me up. "Nurse or Ringo?" I peeked at his face in confusion. "What?"

"Do you want to go the nurse or to Ringo, he's your cousin correct?" Now understanding I gave the question some thought as he made his way to the door, I saw Ren open the door, "Little Doll, you must be careful, none of us want to see you hurt." After we got out I told Masato to turn left and he began to walk in that direction.

"So Iri-chan, what were you doing? Aren't those rooms off limits?" Otoya questioned. Everyone seemed to pipe in, other than Masato, at that statement talking about different rumors about this hallway. Such as music randomly playing, and the machines turning on at strange times of the day, and even blood covering the walls. Those all sound about right with what I know. I began to laugh at all the rumors they were talking about that I almost fell out of Masato's arms. Almost, he ended up holding me tighter to keep from dropping me. All of them turned to look at me as I started to calm down.

"So, what do you know about these rumors, you seem to not be scared to still use the art room, which was locked, and the dance room?" Syo chimed in moving closer to me, this head being bellow my eye sight, which was very odd seeing as most people are taller than me. Though, Masato is a very tall person as I rested my head on Masato's shoulder. "Those rumors aren't true, well they are, but it was all me. The machines and music, well I use those machines and I dance here, I basically live in this wing and the blood, people kept coming down here so I spread paint on the wall and freaked everyone out, no one comes down here anymore." They all cracked up laughing, I smiled at his, I'm making friends, I remember Ai Mizake, and he took me in and helped me with singing the high notes in a lot of songs. A lot of people believe he is a robot because AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, but I saw him get hurt and start bleeding so I know that it's not true. I began to feel the effect of dancing for three hours straight and yawned, everyone was in a conversation, though with Masato carrying me he heard and felt me yawn. I lifted my head and met gazes with Masato, I leaned up and came to level with his ear and whispered "nurse." Nodding Masato shifted way to lead the group to the nurse.
