Sora's POV
I, Sato Sora, am in the biggest confusion ever possible. So, Daisuke comes to take me back home, and then Bunta-kun comes out of nowhere and we go to play tennis. Daisuke comes back again, and we argue then he tries to kiss me, but instead, Bunta-kun kisses me. Now, this is where it gets confusing.
Did he kiss me to get Daisuke to go home, or because he likes me? At first, I thought it was because he wanted Daisuke to go home, but then I thought about him liking me… I told myself that's not possible. I keep thinking and thinking and thinking but this is not working. I've been sitting down by the piano to calm myself down and that hasn't been working either!
"THIS IS SO STUPID!" I yell and hit the piano keys.
"Oh, sorry." I say to the piano. "Okay, Sora, you are going to play the piano to get your mind off things. Yeah, that should work."
I let my breath out and set my fingers on the keys. My hands flow freely along the piano without me knowing what I'm playing. I soon realize that it's a stupid love song and I immediately stop. I sigh and put my head down.
"Found you." I hear a guy say.
"What!" I scream and turn around. "Oh it's Niou-kun."
"Puri." He smiled. "I heard about Marui and you."
"Please don't bring that up. I'm confused about it enough." I say.
"And I'm here to stop the confusion." He said.
"What do you mean? And how'd you find me here?"
He laughed. "Marui told me you were here, and I told him that I'm going to look for Yanagi. That idiot falls for anything."
"Okay?"
"So, you're thinking that Marui kissed you to get rid of that other guy, whose name does not matter, right?"
"Kind of. I just don't want to misunderstand."
"Please don't take this offensively, but you are the same level of idiot as Marui."
"How do you expect me to not take that offensively?"
"Never mind about that part. Now I'm going to ask you something, even though I know the answer."
"Then why are you going to ask?"
"I just want to hear it from the person. Do you like anybody?"
I got surprised at this question, but I knew it was coming. "Uh, yeah."
"Does that person go to this school?"
I sigh. "Look. I know you know that I like Bunta-kun, okay. You can stop asking questions now."
"Sorry. I didn't want you to get mad. Just wanted to make sure."
"Oh. I didn't mean to snap like that. I can't think at all right now."
"It is seriously no wonder that he likes you. You're way too nice." He said and poked my cheek.
"Who likes me?" I ask.
"Who else than that red head? There are too many idiots in this world." He mumbled to himself.
"Thanks." Then I realize that he said that Bunta-kun likes me.
"Did you just say that Bunta-kun likes me?" I ask.
"Yes. I did. Now, this is a question I don't know the answer to. Why do you like him? Do you have a good reason, or are one of the fan girls?"
"I have a reason. It's just kind of embarrassing." I say.
"You're going to tell me. Don't try to get out of it."
"Okay. Oh, but you have to promise to tell Bunta-kun I told you this."
"Do you really think I would tell anybody?"
I turned to look at him. "Yes, I do think you would, which is why I'm asking you to not tell anybody."
"Fine, I won't tell! Just tell me why you like the dude!"
"Alright! So, when I first met you two, it was when Bunta-kun ran into me. But you know I turned around once, and made eye contact with you first. I was nervous, but Bunta-kun hit me, caught me, and then stared at me. I thought he was weird and then we were late for class. But I really did feel bad for you guys, so I lied to the teacher so you wouldn't get yelled at or anything. Now, it might be obvious, but I'm not good at making friends, so I was really nervous about who I was going to sit next to. I was expecting to sit next to a random person, but I was near Bunta-kun. The thing is, he gives a good atmosphere. I know it sounds weird, but I felt that I could just talk to him. No offense, but it was kind of different with you. You actually kind of scared me."
He laughed. "I did? I wasn't trying to."
"Yeah, I figured it out while we talked. But then, Bunta-kun heard me playing the piano and singing. He was the first person to tell me he'll support me. It was that second, I started liking him."
"You know I just asked why you like him, not the story of what happened the time you were here." He said.
"Oh, sorry. I got carried away."
"Well, now I know why you like him and… so does he." He pointed to the door, and I saw somebody putting his ear against it as if he were pressed against it. Niou-kun laughed and walked to the door. He opened it and Bunta-kun fell to the floor.
"Ow! Dude, you don't have to open the door!" he yelled. I just stared but walked over to him.
"Are you okay?" I asked and helped him up.
"Yeah." He said and we made eye contact. We both looked away immediately.
"I gotta go clean my room, so I'm gonna go now." Bunta-kun said and pretty much ran, but Niou-kun caught his collar.
"You aren't running away." He said. Bunta-kun crossed his arms and pouted.
"Well, I'm leaving. Bye." Niou-kun said and walked out. On the way he shut the door. Bunta-kun followed and put his hand on the door knob. He turned it, but it wouldn't open.
"What? Hey! Hey Niou! Open the door!" he yelled as he pounded the door. Niou-kun just stuck his tongue out and mouthed, "Puri."
"He locked the door, didn't he." I said. He nodded. I sigh and open the piano.
"You know that guy is actually pretty smart when it comes to stuff like this. You know he set this whole thing up in less than 5 seconds." He said.
"Set up what?" I ask.
"To make sure we both get stuck in this room."
"How?"
"When I told him about what happened today, he told me that he's going to go find Yanagi and ran towards the school. I remembered that Yanagi goes to his room to study after practice, not in school. Niou knew that it would take me a while to realize that and I got mad and ran after him. Then I come here and see you talking to him."
"Oh, it was all set up. I should have expected that." I said as I press a few keys on the piano.
"Yep. I'm mad at myself for falling for it." He sighed and sat on the floor. We both stayed silent for a long time.
"Is what you said to Niou true?" he asked me. I pause and stare at the piano keys. I really don't know what to say.
"Um, well… Let's see, uh…"
"I like you." He said. My head automatically turns to him. Again, I'm speechless.
"I hope I don't sound too un-cool. I've never said this to a girl before."
"Wait, what? Did you just say…?"
He smiled and nodded. "Of course, I have a reason too."
I slowly nod, wanting to hear the reason. "Are you going to tell me?"
"I have to. I heard your reason."
"Okay…"
"So you know how we first met right?"
"Yeah, when I fell and you caught me." I said.
"Right, and the reason I stared at you was because you were the prettiest girl I've ever seen." He was surprisingly calm and his face wasn't that red. My face was.
"After that, I ate your cake which was amazing. That made me think of you in a different way."
I laugh at that.
"But what really made me like you was how serious you were about your music. I'm used to seeing people play a sport and be really passionate about it, but it was the first time seeing somebody be passionate about another thing."
"So we both started liking each other in the music room."
He nodded and we both laughed. "So, what now?" I ask.
"I don't know. We're still locked in here." He told me as he tried opening the door again.
"I don't have my phone, which is stupid. Do you?"
"Nope," He replied, "I have gum. Do you want some?" he threw me some before I answered.
"Thanks." I smile, "When did you start chewing gum so much?"
"When I joined the tennis club. Yanagi told me that gum can relax you then I got addicted to them."
"Oh, is it the same with sweets?"
"Uhh… that's just because I like them."
I laughed. "Man, we have to do something to get out of here. Niou-kun left already right?"
"Yep. There aren't any windows here, and the door is locked. We don't have our phones either. That just means waiting for somebody to find us."
"Right…"
We just sat there and did nothing for a while. I could tell Bunta-kun was pretty much dying out of this boredom. He just kept snapping his gum and tried to see how big he could blow a bubble. It was a bit awkward. I stand up and look for music sheets. I found a drawer with a lot of them, but they were hand written.
"Hey, Bunta-kun, what are these?" I ask and bring them over.
"Those? They're music assignments for 2nd years."
"Really? Does that mean that Akaya-kun's might be here?"
He laughed. "Yeah, probably." He started looking through them and we found his. It was erased a lot and it barely filled half a page.
"Wow…" we both said at the same time.
"Can you play it?" he asked me. I nod and sit by the piano. I start playing the song, but it was really all over the place.
"I'm sorry to say this, but that boy does not have any music sense." I said.
"I agree. Maybe we should help him out so he doesn't get a bad grade." He suggested.
"But what if he can't play it?"
"Oh, well, we could make it really simple and teach it to him before his test."
"I guess. Is there a pencil around here?"
He handed me one and we both worked on it together. The turnout was okay and we both made sure it was at a level where he can both play and it'll sound like he wrote it. We both high-five each other when we finished it, and we looked at other students' work. We both knew it was wrong but it was very fun.
"How long have we been in here?" I asked.
"I think about an hour. I don't think anybody would come at this time." He replied. I sigh. "Okay. Then what are we going to do?"
"We've been doing playing other kids' music for a while."
"Yeah. I'm going to go check if the door's magically open now." I get up and put my hand on the door. I turned the knob and it magically opened.
"What?" we both yelled at the same time. I looked in the hall and Niou-kun was there.
"Niou! Since when were you here?" Bunta-kun asked.
"The whole time." He smirked.
"What?" we said again.
"Yeah. I unlocked it when you guys were sitting together by the piano. You guys really are idiots."
Bunta-kun stuck his tongue out at him. I just laughed, thinking he got me again.
"So are you two, like, together now?" Niou-kun asked.
"Huh?" we both responded to the question.
"Well, you guys like each other now, and you two kissed. Why not?"
"Uh, you know that fan girls could attack her?" Bunta-kun said.
"So? She'll just stay by you the whole time. That'll be better for the both of you. Are you saying you don't want to be his boyfriend?"
"No!" he immediately replied.
"Then why not? Sora-chan, do you have any problem being Marui's girlfriend?" he asked me. I shyly shook my head no.
"And obviously Marui, you're in live with her, so ask her out." He said to Bunta-kun.
"Wha-, I uh…"
Okay, super sorry for the ultra late update. I plan on finishing the fanfic by the next chapter, and I've already thought of a new one. Please review, because they just make me happy ^-^. Thank You!
