CHAPTER 13
"Good Morning class. Everybody prepared with their compositions?" Ms. Serina said as she entered the music room.
"Very well then, let's start!"
I was holding my music sheet close to my heart as I was waiting for my turn. I was kind of nervous, which is a bit new to me, to perform today. It is not that because I am not prepared with my performance or anything. It is just because my performance for today would surely mean a lot to me. This composition is a special one.
"Mikan Sakura, are you ready?" I saw Ms. Serina looking at me, waiting for me to come up on stage.
I nodded and I stood in front of my classmates.
"Hello. Today, my composition is about something that I have never tried before. So this is the first one. The first composition which I hope could send you a message of what I am feeling. So here it is'' I bowed as I sat down towards the piano.
I inhaled a deep breath. Then I concentrated and focused, then I thought of that one person that this was dedicated to, Natsume. I then started playing my composition, All Myself To You (a/n: All Myself To You is a song and owned by Yiruma, no copyright infringement intended)
I opened my eyes as I finished the song. I heard my classmates clapping and some were wiping their tears and even Ms. Serina seemed teary eyed.
"That was wonderful Mikan that was really heartfelt" she smiled at me.
"Thank you" I replied back with a smile.
I was busy chatting with my seatmate when Ms. Serina all called our attention on the stage.
"So because we still have plenty of time before all of you can head home, I did not expect that we will end up earlier. A proper recognition for a brave soul should be given today. So please let me introduce to you from the Applied Music Department, Mr. Natsume Hyuuga"
What? Natsume is here? What is happening? I heard my classmates squealing at the sight of him and I just simply felt myself blush.
As expected from him, there were no exchange of conversation that happened but he just nodded in greeting to Ms. Serina. I wonder what he is doing today at my class and he also did not bring his guitar with him. What's happening?
He started playing the piano.
There's a shop down the street
Where they sell plastic rings
For a quarter a piece I swear it
Yeah I know that it's cheap
Not like gold in your dreams
But I hope that
You'll still wear it
He is singing and playing the piano at the same time? What's happening right now seriously?
Yeah, the ink may stain my skin
And my jeans may all be ripped
I'm not perfect but I swear
I'm perfect for you
And there's no guarantee
That this'll be easy
It's not a miracle you need
Believe me
Yeah I'm no angel
I'm just me
But I will love you endlessly
Wings aren't what you need
You need me
There's a house on the hill
With a view of the town
And I know how you adore it
So I'll work everyday
Through the sun and the rain
Until I can afford it
Yeah your friends might think I'm crazy
But they can only see
I'm not perfect, but I swear I'm perfect for you
And there's no guarantee
That this'll be easy
It's not a miracle you need
Believe me
Yeah I'm no angel
I'm just me
But I will love you endlessly
Wings aren't what you need
You need me
(You need me, I know you need me,
You need me, I know you need me)
Ink may stain my skin
And my jeans may all be ripped
I'm not perfect but I swear
I'm perfect for you
And there's no guarantee
That this'll be easy (this'll be easy)
It's not a miracle you need
Believe me (don't you believe me)
Yeah I'm no angel
I'm just me
But I will love you endlessly
Wings aren't what you need
You need me (You know You need me)
There's a shop down the street
Where they sell plastic rings
For a quarter a piece I swear it
Yeah I know that it's cheap
Not like gold in your dreams
But I hope that
You'll still wear it
After I played the piano, I just kept staring at her as if we were the only ones in the room. Nothing felt better than anything like right now.
I nodded towards her direction, which I think she got the impression. She walked nearer to me.
"Happy Monthsary" I whispered in her ear as I saw her blushed a deep red and I smiled at her like everything else in the world did not matter.
"Happy Monthsary" he said to me and I felt myself blush and he smiled at me, his genuine smile that I love to see.
"Happy Monthsary too" I replied back as I smiled at him.
He stood up. And went towards Ms. Serina's place.
"I'm Natsume Hyuuga and I thank you Ms. Serina for allowing me to perform in your class, I will not further interrupt your class and I'll go ahead" he bowed down as my classmates stood up to give him standing ovations.
"Before I leave" he stop abruptly in front of the door.
"Mikan Sakura" he said my name as all my classmates' eyes fell on me, "I love you" he said and he left smoothly as if he did not say something big.
Our class felt like the world stopped as all of us remained silent and tried to grip what just happened in front of us.
Then as if one by one, my classmates went nearer to me, to crowd me, to squeal and give me congratulatory remarks for having Natsume which I returned with an awkward smile.
I was walking at the corridor when I hear some students gossiping.
"Hey isn't that Mikan Sakura? Natsume Hyuuga's girldfriend?"
"You're right! I just heard that he performed on her class and even said I love you!" then they squealed.
I bowed my head because of embarrassment when a voice stopped me on my tracks and I heard girls squirming.
"Being embarrassed now are we?" his voice was mocking.
"It's nothing like that Natsume" I said and tried to hide my blush.
"Stop hiding your face, you look cute when you blush like that, honestly" he said and as I looked at him he was smiling.
"Let's go practice?" I offered him.
"There will be no practice today, we are going somewhere special" then he started walking and leaving me bewildered.
"Hey Natsume! Wait up!" I called onto him as he just raised his arm with his wrist watch in reply and I understood what he meant.
"Seriously, you need to be patient with your girlfriend" I huffed beside him and he just chuckled a bit in reply.
I intertwined our hands, as we both smile at each other and I know that nothing could break us apart anymore.
"This tree is really amazing, right Natsume?" she said. I did not reply and just looked at her. God I really love this girl. If only everything could be as perfect as this every day.
"Natsume are you crying?" she looked at me.
I closed my eyes for a bit and inhaled deeply, "No. Just something got stuck"
"I really thought you were" she then smiled at me. "Let's go?" she asked me and I nodded in reply.
As she stood up, I tried to stood up as well as pain shot through my leg and grunted.
"Are you okay? Something wrong?" she looked at me worriedly waiting for me to reply.
I tried to stand again, "I'm okay. Let's go" and I entwine my hands at her, holding her tightly than before.
