A/N: Ok, this proves that I have not totally vanished off the face of the earth. This is kinda short, and I'm not very pleased with it. But at least I wrote something...


Oh, yeah. Life totally sucks sometimes, especially at times like these.

Chihiro decided that she had taken enough crap from everyone. Since they could not even decide something as inconsequential as this, she would do it. She had had enough.

"Okay, you know what? Everyone, LISTEN UP!" Silence met her words. It was surprising how the normally quiet, demure girl could make such a sudden outburst. They stared. She scowled at them. "If all you wimpy, girly ninnies want to play the stupid princess, so be it. I'll be the wicked witch, okay? Just stop arguing, damn it!" Then she stomped off the stage and sat herself down at the piano which was situated at the foot of the stage.

Chihiro angrily rifled through some of the music sheets that they were using for the play. Pulling out a random piece, she slammed the folder shut and positioned her fingers on the black and white keys. She began to play, her fingers moving fluidly over the keys, the music flooding the hall. Unaware of all her other classmates gaping open-mouthed at her, Chihiro let the music swell, soothing her frustrations and taking over her mind completely. This reminded her of why she was still in this useless dump of a school, putting up with fools everyday.

"This play is a waste of time, isn't it?"

A silky voice sounded behind her ear, startling her out of her meditative state. She stopped playing and turned around to give the speaker a glare. "What do you want?"

"I never knew you could be so fierce. Neither did I know that you were such a good pianist. I have misjudged you, Ogino Chihiro," said Haku, one of the less obnoxious boys in her class. She shrugged grumpily and turned back to her piano.

"Wait-" She suddenly felt a warm hand on her arm, pulling her back and preventing her from turning away from him.

Chihiro had never known Haku very well before, only that he was one of the smarter students among a bunch of idiots. Not that she was that perfect herself, but still. However, to have him treat her in such a familiar way made her feel confused and to be honest, a bit thrown off. Seldom did boys willingly want to talk to girls. Furthermore one who was more introverted like her.

"You're not like other girls I've met," Haku stated bluntly. Chihiro almost groaned, thinking that he was going to insult her for her non-girliness. She raised an eyebrow at him. "How so?"

He examined her from top to bottom. She blushed slightly under his intense gaze. "You're just different," he said, "but not necessarily in a bad way."

Chihiro did not know how to respond to that. Slowly, she turned back around to face the piano keys. Then she felt a sheaf of papers being stuffed into her hands. She grasped them and turned to look at the person who gave them to her. All she saw was the retreating back of Haku.

Suddenly he turned around and gave smirked at her over his shoulder. Then he called out to the rest of the class milling about on the stage, "I'll be the witch's apprentice, then!". He strolled towards the doors of the hall without a backward glance.

Looking down at the papers in her hands, Chihiro realized that they were the piano scores of a music piece, with the title: You Belong With Me. Trying hard not to read too much into the title of the piece, her attention was caught by a brightly-colored Post-it stuck onto the front sheet of the scores.

Meet me at the field after this shindig has ended.

It was hard not to read into that.


A/N: Sorry for the super late update! I have been feeling the stress of homework and tests lately and I actually have a test tomorrow. But I felt like updating, and this story had been on my com for a while. Writing makes me feel less depressed. I think this was not very good, so I need some input? Thanks for reading! :) Reviews are welcome. :))
