Chapter 3

Hino Kahoko and Ryoutaro Tsuchuira walked down the hallway together to the band room.

Silently.

Under constant watch.

Ever since the concour, the 2 of them have been the hottest topic around campus. It was rumoured that they are a couple ever since the day Tsuchuira helped Hino when her accompanist went missing. It was the scene of the lifetime! How many girls would have wanted to be in Hino's position. However, still, it made sense that a talented young man would be together with an equally skilled musician. Yet while Tsuchuira was respected and admired by the girls in school, Hino did not recieve the similar treatment. Instead she was constantly glared at by jealous girls and sometimes, was even being thrown at. Sensing the seventh glare, she sighed.

' Hino, are you alright? Did you do badly for your test again?' Tsuchuira questioned.

' Hai, I'm alright. Why do you ask?' Hino replied. Glancing back, she was hit by the eigthth glare. She sighed again. If this were to continue, she wouldn't even last till the day ends. Why can't she have a normal love life?!?!!!!

' You are sighing all the way. Am I such a bad company?' Tsuchuira bent down till his face was inches away and looked at her with sad puppy eyes,

' Errrr...No..No..No..that isn't the case, I really love your company, you are funny, cool, talented, friendly and er...humourous and er..clever, and er...cool... did I mentioned that just now?..er..fun-loving...cool...erm.. Your are not a bad company, I really love you being around...You...'

' Hey, calm down. I get it, i get it. I'm a good company, ok? Don't need to be so uptight.' He grinned. 'But, I do hope that what you said just now was true.' He continued, his grin even wider.

'Ermm...ye,,,yeah..' Hino stuttered, as they continued to walk. She was so embarrassed! Just a comment from Tsuchuira-kun, she would get so nervous. At this rate, Tsuchuira would know that she like him and run as far as possible from her! No..nonononononononono, she wouldn't want that! She love Tsuchuira too much! If he runs away, she would not only lose her friend, but also the love of her life!!!! nonononononononononono!!! She would and must definitely come up with a plan to prevent that.

For the rest of the journey, they both were silent. Tsuchuira was definitely regretting his statement just now. It was just that, he couldn't not tease Hino. She was just so cute to be ignored. The conversation was too dead. Nah, from the first place, there wasn't even a conversation!!! Of course he must start something right?...

Well, on the other hand, Hino was squeezing her brains for ways to prevent Tsuchuira from knowing her little secret. No matter how much she thought, the same thing came into her mind.

' Here, finally, the music room.' Tsuchuira mumbled as he stepped into the band room.

She know what she would do... She would avoid him at all cost!!
