Special
The next day Kahoko was having lunch with her friends Mio & Nao.
"Hey Kahoko wanna go to the new cake shop today after school?" asked Mio.
"Sorry Mio not today. I have practice with Len after school. We still haven't selected the piece we will be playing." Kahoko replied.
"That's right. You both will be performing a duet. I'm looking forward to it." Said Nao smiling.
"Thanks Nao. But I'm no where near him. Len is in a totally different level." Kahoko said frowning.
"Don't worry. I'm sure in the end you two can pull it through." Nao said trying to cheer up her friend.
"Thank you Nao. I just hope you're right"
"Aren't you excited Kahako?? This is it! This is the REAL violin romance is about to start!" Mio yelled, her eyes sparkling.
Both Kahoko & Nao sighed rolling their eyes at their immature friend & continued eating.
Time skip……after school
Kahoko went to the practice room where she was supposed to meet Len. When she entered she found the room empty.
"I guess he's not here yet..." Thought Kahoko as she put down her violin case.
"Hey there Kahoko!" Came the friendly voice of Lily.
"Oh hey Lily. What are doing here?"
"I just came to say best of luck. Trust me you will need it. How did you end up with Len of all people as your partner? He's so quiet & antisocial." Lily said grinning.
Kahoko got angry at that comment.
"Hey don't be like that. Len is a nice person and it was because of his Ave Maria I started playing the violin. I owe him a lot for that." Kahoko said with anger in her voice.
"Alright. You don't have to yell. Sheeesh….Anyway practicr hard now Kahoko. Bye for now." With that said Lily disappeared.
Few seconds later the door opened & Len came inside carrying his violin case & some pages and tapes.
"Sorry I'm late. I was getting the notations for some of the pieces we could play." Said Len and closed the door.
"Oh don't worry about it Len. I wasn't waiting long." Said Kahoko waving her hands in front of her.
"Anyway we should decide on what piece we will play. It has to be something simple yet entertaining because you're not used to the type of pieces I usually perform" Len said looking through the notations.
"I'm sorry that you have to change the way you usually play because of me." Kahoko said looking down.
"Don't worry about it. It's good to try different music from time to time. Now lets see what we can play" Len replied.
After an hour the decided to perform the Krysler's Violin Sonata no.1
"Okay now let's play it." Len told Kahoko.
They started playing but Kahoko made mistakes in some parts.
"You're being too stiff. That's not like you. Relax a little & concentrate." He said.
Then they practiced for almost an hour but Kahoko still messed up in some parts.
"It's getting late. I guess that's enough for today. We'll practice again tomorrow after school." Len said putting down his violin
Kahoko was putting her violin in its case when Len gave her something.
"Take these with you. It's the notation & tape for this piece. So you can practice at home." Len handed her the things.
"Thank you so much Len. I hope that we do a good performance." Kahoko accepted them smiling.
As Len was about to turn the door knob to leave Kahoko called out to him.
"I'm sorry Len. That you have to perform with me of all people. I know that my music is not nearly as good as you are. But I promise I will try my best to put a good performance." Kahoko said looking down.
"That's not true…." Len said keeping his back to her.
"Your music is special….Kahoko." Then he opened the door & left without looking back at her.
Kahoko was very surprised to hear him say that. She just stood there for a few seconds staring at the door.
"My music…..is special..."
So this is the second chapter & thanks Akane Kotou & nettentennjilover I appreciate it!
