Chapter II- Anna's POV
"Alright, everyone in their places, please!"
The director commanded.
But first, you might be wondering why there is suddenly a director, huh?
Truth is I was leaving that early morning of summer, from the person I loved the most…Asakura Yoh. No matter how long it's been, three years-to be exact, I still can't stop thinking about him. And every time I hear his name, my heart ached…Like it was being hit by a toothpick over and over again. Funny how love makes you feel such emotions…
I was the Ice Queen.
That's right, was the Ice Queen.
When I left Funbari Inn I found a part-time job, working as pianist in a five-star restaurant, so my pay was quite a breath taker. Then a director of a famous auditorium, Madame Serena saw me playing that very night.
I remember very well, it was a week after I left Yoh, and I was backstage, getting ready.
I then took one last glance at the vanity mirror in my room.
Perfect.
I was wearing a red long-sleeved dress, which reached just above my knees, a pair of black, high-heeled sandals and a black pendant surrounding my neck. Not to mention some dangling earrings on my neck. My hair was also in a tight bun, with a few strands of blonde hair, hanging.
I then proceeded to the stage. As usual, people clapped and cheered. Some of them whispering praises, like "Gerald, that girl is very talented!" or "She's 14, yet she plays like an expert!"
I then played five symphonies and two short skits. Slowly opening my eyes, to acknowledge the end of my presentation. People cheered and clapped merrily, then preceded with chatting or either just continues with their eating.
I then headed backstage. I took a quick shower, then changed into some comfortable clothes, namely, a black jacket, with a red tube underneath, brown faded jeans and my 1080 prayer beads, of course. Also, some Navy Blue Converse shoes.
I then grabbed my Black velvet bag and hurried out to my apartment.
Suddenly, someone called me.
"Excuse me, miss. Excuse me!"
"Hai?"
I then turned around to face a woman, about in her middle-age wearing an office uniform. Though, how formal she was, she looked kind of nice.
"Well, you see my name is Madame Serena, a director of the town's auditorium." she explained.
"So?"
"So, I saw you play tonight and I for one think, no know that you are very talented indeed. Also judging from the audience's feedback, I would like to offer you a chance at the auditorium."
I closed my eyes for a while, thinking of a reason why.
She seemed to have noticed, as added more.
"Though I am not forcing you…But if you do decide to join us, you may come at the auditions next week."
I slowly opened my eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Arigato Gozamaisu for spending time to listen to me…I do hope to see you there. Sayonara."
Was all she said as she left me, dumbfounded.
I then sighed, as I headed back to my apartment.
All night I thought about Madame Serena's offer. Thinking of the possibilities that could come up. If I would even fit in. And I also relayed the events that occurred that day.
I breathed out a long sigh, as I completely covered my body in my blanket as I fell asleep, with my thoughts on Yoh…
The next few nights, I was still playing in the restaurant, though I never saw that woman ever again. That night was the night before the auditions. So before I slept I spent all my thoughts of going or not.
But fortunately, I fell asleep with a decision…To go to the auditions.
The next day as I woke up around six am, I slowly went to the bathroom for a quick shower, I then changed into black cycling shorts and a black spaghetti top, with my Mp4 hanging at the left side of my waist.
I then went outside with my bicycle, as I rode around the park and back home, or was it?
All the while, remembering what Yoh and I used to do in the park. I sighed yet again.
When I finally reached the apartment, I went in straight to the kitchen, to cook myself breakfast. After which, I changed into a dark blue mini skirt, with three chains hanging, a red Chinese top, black boots, my 1080 prayer beads and my usual red bandana. Also a pair of earrings with skull designs on it.
I then grabbed my skateboard that Yoh bought for me when we usually go skateboarding and Yoh felt guilty I couldn't go with him so he bought me one.
My helmet was also on my head, which was colored black with flames at the sides. I then headed to the town's auditorium, not forgetting to bring my cellphone on the way.
When I reached there it was extremely crowded. I then went in line, for the signing of names.
"Kyouyama Anna." Was all I uttered, and then I went to the corner of the overcrowded room and observed the people.
"Kyouyama Anna." Mdm. Serena called me through the microphone.
I then walked over to stage, or rather people pushed me onstage.
As I saw Madame Serena, she smiled at me, and amusingly, I did the same.
I slowly walked over to the large piano, in the center of the stage. Settling myself down at the chair. I prepared to play.
My fingers moved gracefully from one key to the other; one symphony to another.
After which, I opened my eyes and walked off stage.
Everyone clapped at my performance and Madame Serena just smiled.
After everyone was done, it was finally time to call the names.
One of the judges slowly made her way to the microphone, as she spoke;
"For the male vocalist, Asakura Hao."
At that time, I was completely shocked…
'Asakura Hao? How can that be? I thought, no know he is dead.'
I asked myself over and over again, but I still kept my calm composure. I guess I didn't notice him audition, since I was so busy in my thoughts…
But my doubts were confirmed as he walked onstage. He looked at me smiling, while I gave him the 'how-can-you-be-alive' look.
Seeming as he wouldn't answer, the judge continued on…
"For the pianist; Hiroshi Kinamazu."
And for the 2nd time, that day, Anna was shocked.
'Why didn't I get picked?'
Just then, a girl with short black hair, walked onstage and took a quick bow. She was smiling."
I sighed heavily, quite disappointed, I was about to leave when…
"And lastly, Kyouyama Anna, for the female vocalist."
And for the third time, I was shocked, but I slowly got over it as people pushed me onstage-again.
I guess you could guess what happened?
Unfortunately, Hao became my singing partner for three years, in different sorts of musical plays. And as much as I hate to admit it, I enjoyed it…
Until that very night…
"Anna…"
I spun around as I saw Hao standing at the doorway of the exit to the changing room. I smiled.
"What is it, Hao?"
"This may sound weird…but Anna I love you."
He came closer & closer to a shocked me, until he was a foot away.
"I understand if you don't love me back…"
Hao looked away guiltily.
"I love you too, Hao."
Suddenly, Hao's face lighted up with joy.
Then he kissed me…My boyfriend, Hao
