The Shirako Household
"You're getting better and better everyday, Rika," complimented the teacher as the music stopped. "You'll become a famous musician someday."
Rika blushed. "Arigato."
"How would you like to play a duet?"
Rika was puzzled by the sudden question.
"A duet? Why?"
The teacher smiled. "You know Oshitari Yuushi, right? The tennis player in your school?"
"What about him?"
"He plays the violin too, you know," the teacher pointed out.
"Yeah, I know, everyone knows that he-"Suddenly, she stopped.
She gasped. "You don't mean that- Him? Me? How…?" she spluttered.
I'm playing a duet with HIM? Why? Why me? Why him?
Wait. Does he even know that I exist?
Her mind was filled with millions of unanswered question. She stood there, her mouth agape, like a complete idiot.
The teacher nodded with a smile on her lips.
"Oops, gotta go," she said as she glanced at her wrist watch.
"There," she said, handing out a piece of paper to Rika. "Next week, lessons at this address. The time is also listed down there."
She left Rika dumbfounded, before walking out of the door.
