Chapter 10
Friends Again.
We're here, to getting to know Katlin School, the Ex of Kumiko,
And a former concert band of her, of her. Lucy and Arianna.
And again the school Kumiko school
Scuola secondaria di primo grado (Middle School)
The Scuola secondaria di primo grado (lower secondary school, previously scuola media, middle school, by which it is still called) it is mandatory, lasts three years (roughly from age 11 to 14) and is the first stage in which different specialized professors teach different subjects. It provides further education on the subjects studied at the scuola primaria, with the addition of technology and a language other than English (typically French).
It has a common programme for all pupils, and covers all the classical subjects (Italian language and literature, history, geography, mathematics, natural sciences, English language, a second foreign Language, French, Latin, technology, arts, music, and physical education).
At the end of the third year, students take an examination which enables them to continue their education, which includes:
Four written tests prepared by each examining board: Italian, mathematics, and the two foreign languages
an experimental nationally assessed test for tracking progresses in reading comprehension, language knowledge, reasoning skills and basic mathematical skills
an overall oral examination on all subjects
The final grade is a number from 6 to 10 (the best).
Before the Moratti reform it was called "scuola media di primo grado" or "scuola media inferiore".
Scuola secondaria di secondo grado (high school)
Thescuola secondaria di secondo grado– formerly known as "scuola media superiore" (high school) – lasts five years (even though someistituti professionalimight offer a professional certificate after three years). Every tier involves an exam at the end of the final year, calledesame di maturità, required to gain a degree and have access to further university education. Any type of secondary school that lasts five years grants access to the final exam, calledesame di maturitàoresame di stato; this exam takes place every year between June and July.[1]It is designed to give students the skills to progress to anyuniversityorhigher educational institution.[2]
For historical reasons, there are three types ofScuola secondaria di secondo grado, subsequently divided into further specializations.
Types of liceo include:
Liceo classico (classic lyceum) – dedicated to humanistic studies, features Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian, history and philosophy as its most important subjects.
Liceo scientifico (scientific lyceum) – dedicated to scientific studies, shares a part of its program with liceo classico in teaching Italian, Latin, history and philosophy, but is more oriented towards mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and computer science.
Liceo linguistico (linguistic lyceum) – puts emphasis on modern foreign languages learning; the languages usually taught are English, French, Spanish and German – although recently Russian, Arabic and Chinese have been introduced as well.
Liceo artistico (artistic lyceum) – which is oriented toward arts teaching – both in a theoretical (i.e. art history) and practical (i.e. drawing sessions) way. Its subjects are painting, sculpture, decoration, graphics, design, audiovisual, multimedia, scenography and architecture.
Liceo delle scienze umane (human sciences lyceum) – where the emphasis is more on relational, behavioral and educational, such as pedagogy, anthropology, psychology, sociology, and social research. It replaces the previous istituto magistrale (which once educated elementary school teachers).
Liceo musicale e coreutico (music and dance lyceum) – often linked with a conservatory, which comprises two sectors:
musicale – which specializes in music and teaches students to play an instrument.
coreutico – which specializes in dance and choreography.

Yes. Really, Mr. William you know me better..
Not really, because there's a friends, parents, sister, know you, but they just don't want to ask you if you are okay, because they know that asking you, will only regret them..

Come on, just this once... so any song request.
Just once in a life time…
Hahaha
How about you play a piano over there a duet song..
Oh my sure, why not
Playing…. Here comes the first song
Almost Is Never Enough
I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right,
But that's a lie, that's a lie
And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows
Almost, almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms
Here we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'll be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve oh
Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
Truth is everyone knows
Almost, almost is never enough (Is never enough, babe)
We were so close to being in love (So close)
If I would have known that you wanted me, the way I wanted you, babe
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each others arms
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
Someone already at the club. Who would it be?
Kaori: Asuka, Do see Kumiko..
Asuka: Kousaka san..?
Haruka: She's in faculty room.
Asuka: Kaori, Why are you looking to Kumiko chan
Haruka& Kaori: We're here to ask about the girl name, Aurora
Asuka: Why don't we go to the club and waiting for her there
Hazuki& Midori:Tanaka senpai (crying face)
Asuka: What's the meaning of this…

[Verse 1: Pink]
Right from the start
You were a thief you stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep
Oh Oh
Things you never say to me
Oh Oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love[Chorus: Pink]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again[Verse 2: Nate Ruess (and Pink)]
I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everything
And it's all in your mind
Yeah but this is happening
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh
You used to lie so close to me
Oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love, oh our love, our love[Pink & Nate Ruess]
"Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
[Nate Ruess]
I've never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
[Pink & Nate Ruess]
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again[Bridge: Nate Ruess and Pink]
Oh tears ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean[Chorus: Both]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again[Chorus: Both]
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again[Outro: Both]
Oh we can learn to love again
Oh we can learn to love again
Oh
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Miss Kumiko.
I'm such a fool, right
Why you said that..
Wahhhhh!
Shhhh…..
"When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside - that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything."
"When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way."
Hazuki&Midori: Kumiko..
Asuka: Kumiko chan
All: Oumae san
Shuuichi: Kumiko..
(A/n Reina thought) Reina: I want to run, I want to hug her, asking her... When I'm about to go she's running this way, Kumiko running this way, When I'm about to held my hand to her..
Asuka Senpai… It's frustrating, it's frustrating me that I want to die, I want to get over it, I want to die…
Kumiko chan…. It's okay, it's okay
Kumiko: It doesn't matter anymore. Asuka Senpai, I guess things happen for a reason. Tears eventually fade and one day everything will be exactly how it's supposed to be. Moving on is a process and I have to promise myself that I'm really ready to let go.
Reina: Kumiko… Can we talk..
Pass through…..
Kumiko I need to talk to you…
…
…..
…..
Ogasawara senpai Sorry, for using the piano without a permission again.
It's okay.
Kaori: Oumae san Where is Miss Sebastian?

MUSIC ROOM!?
Back to school
(A/n Kumiko thought ) Kumiko can we talk? Those words you say still remaining to my mind
"Okay... now I am going to try to ignore you... I gonna try to screw you up..."
In a place of nowhere
I am lost As I struggle to get up It hurts when I know Sleep seems to be Now
I keep tumbling
on the things I can't see.
I heard laughs
faint but I know
it's there.
the joke
came from me.
I learned how to
ignore.
the only medicine.
So I drench myself
in fantasies
to where I have much
control.
I walk in pain
knowing I can't
let go of something
I have no control.
(Kumiko and Shuichi conversation Whispering)
Kumiko is it true?
About What? Shuuichi.
Leaving...
Where did you hear it?
So, it's true...

Bella: hahaha
At that night Bella and Reina been friend….
When you say nothing at all
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
Follow, Favorite and Review. Tell next time
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
