Chapter Two: A Star Nobody Can Reach

Four words, what in the world!?

Ai blinked, feeling confused but his face refused to show it. Last night, after robbing and beating up students leaving them in the streets, he had met a girl who had declared herself as an angel that came down from Heaven. At first Ai had thought that she was a fan girl cosplaying as an angel in order to get closer to him but now he had changed his point of view at the girl. She was not a fan girl or a cosplayer… she was a stalker.

Tsukimiya Ringo, the homeroom teacher of class 3-A gently clapped his hands, his long pink hair flowed with the summer breeze as he blinked taking the attention of his students, "Now listen up everyone, you have a new classmate!" he shouted pointing unto a girl with short-pinkish hair. Ai openly sighed as he ignored the class, looking outside the window.

"Umm… my name is Nanami Haruka, p-pleased to meet you everyone. I hope to get along with all the students inside this classroom," she declared. Gasps and awes were heard throughout the room. Questions were also asked regarding the newbie of the class. Most of them wanted to know more about her while some decided to flirt.

"Do you have a boyfriend!?"

"Do you play any instruments?"

Haruka forced a smile at the questions as she tried to laugh, "Umm… yes, I am currently single. Regarding instruments, I can play the piano quite well," she said showing her pearly white teeth. Her smile was innocent and kind, it made the boys somehow blush while the girls grinned in awe. Who would hate such an angel like her? Ai somehow twitched at his classmate's reactions, his nails digging deeper on his desk. What was it? For some reason, Ai felt a pang on his chest, wanting for everyone except Haruka to vanish from his sight.

Ringo looked at Haruka with excitement, "Well this is a surprise, we just happened to have a piano positioned at the very back of this classroom. Can you possibly play a song for us Haru-chan? There are still a couple of minutes left before the end of homeroom," he pleased. The shorter girl simply nodded in agreement as she made her way towards the piano with graceful footsteps. Her beautiful fingers slid on the piano keys, creating an elegant sound to occur.

The students looked at her with anticipation. She sat on the chair and took a deep breath before looking at the piano with a smile, as if she was talking to the piano, she gently whispered words, "Euterpe-sama, please guide me as I play." She closed her eyes, positioning her fingers on the piano keys. Silence confined inside the room, her concentration amazing everyone. A light swirled around Haruka as a crown symbol showed upon her chest. Ai gasped, his eyes widening in shock. His orbs traveled around the room looking at his classmates who were only grinning happily. He then returned his gaze to Haruka, no one… can see her shine?

The moment came when Haruka finally started to create a melody. As she played a piece composed with difficulty and ecstasy, the beauty of an unknown piece was brought into life. The setting then ever so suddenly changed. Once, everyone was inside the classroom but now, it seemed like they were in a grand opera hall with Haruka performing on stage. It was amazing how someone like Haruka can draw out the refinement and class out of a song, she seemed so professional. A star nobody can reach.

Everyone inside the room traveled a musical journey throughout a magical place that nobody somehow knew, the glamour of the music enchanted and allured everyone leaving them with smiles and satisfied reactions. As the song reached its end, everything seemed to return to its normal place. They were all back in their classroom and it made everyone silent. Haruka's talent was so astounding that it alarmed everyone.

Ai looked at Haruka, his face showing his disturbance. His eyes widened in astonishment along with his mouth that gasped. His brain took a while to process the situation but the moment that he recovered he whispered upon himself, "Angel Beats, My Soul Your Beats." He looked down, his bangs covering his eyes.

"Scary…" he continued. He didn't deny the fact that Haruka's music amazed him. Instead, he had a hard time accepting it. The fact that Haruka was actually an angel that came from Heaven. That song she played proved it all to him. The way she pressed the keys, her gracefulness and swiftness, the way she hit the notes beautifully, the song sounded like an angel's ballad.

Ringo's lips curled into a beam, his face showing a pleased emotion, "Bravo! Bravo, Haru-chan! That was exquisite! You have such great t talent in a young age! I know that you'll still continue to improve! Work hard and you might become a professional when you grow up," he announced. Haruka simply nodded with a satisfied look plastered upon her face as she nodded in agreement. Ai somehow stared at Ringo. If Haruka continued to improve, she would dominate the nation… no, the world with her top class piano playing skills.

The bell rang throughout the entire school, a sign for classes to start. Ringo looked at his students before shifting his gaze upon Haruka, "Well, you'll seat beside Ai-kun, Haru-chan. Have fun with class everyone!" he pointed unto the seat beside Ai. The said girl stood up walking towards her seat and sat down. Meanwhile, her classmates groaned at the actuality, the first subject is already going to start.

Ai looked out of the window, staring at the clear blue sky as the white clouds passed by, "What are you doing here?" he asked with his tone was demanding and stoic. The shorter girl lowered her head, a slight frown replacing the smile on her lips. For some reason, Haruka's face looked really familiar that it reminded Ai a memory, a memory that he couldn't remember.

"I… already told you my mission, Ai-kun. That is to melt your frozen heart," she said, her voice reflected sadness and somehow disappointment.

"If I'm not by your side then how will I do that?" she asked, looking at Ai who had his eyes focused on her face. She simply forced a smile that seemed very natural on her divine face. The teal haired guy couldn't help but forcefully stare at her face even more, his face that is always monotone like black and white showed color for the first time. It was like the sun had shined on a barren, forgotten place filled with nothing but darkness.

His lips gently curled up into a smile with his eyes softening in kindness," If that satisfies you then do what you want," he declared. Haruka somehow gasped at Ai's reaction, she simply didn't say a word because his emotion immediately faded. She felt butterflies flutter inside her stomach and her cheeks flush. For some reason, Ai couldn't help but be kind to the girl. For some reason, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her. For some reason… he didn't have the strength to push her away.

"Haruka,"

She will certainly without fail, melt his frozen heart and all of this will end. Ai frowned. He somehow didn't like that idea of her disappearing.
