Year 2014-15.
Hilary was led by a senior in the musical room. It was dark, since it was past sunset. They switched on the lights, but it seemed to be not needed since the moonshine was lighting and gleaming in the room. Cool breezes sauntered and crushed, flowing in eloquence. Hilary felt blissful in the cool winds.
"You liked it?" Simra asked.
"Yeah, Simra ma'am," Hilary smiled. There were large violins, pianos, guitars, flutes lined up of various types on the counter board. She loved guitars the most and their colors, navy blue, cream, brown. They were wonderful. However she didn't know how to use it. But she loved to learn.
"So, this is it." Simra said as she climbed on the podium and showed the microphones. Hilary was loving this hall. It was wonderful.
"Is everyone free to use this hall?" Hilary asked.
"Actually, I'm in charge of this hall, being the senior most Intern; so I've to see who wants to use it and why." Simra explained, "You're free to use unless you're not damaging any instruments here," she sighed.
"Uh, that just be hectic, then." Hilary said, clicking the piano keys.
"Yeah," Simra got up, "Anyway, I've got some work. So I'll leave. After you're done exploring the hall, you may leave," Hilary nodded. Simra strode out,
"Hey, I was meaning to ask you: Is your senior Daniel got a crush on your friend?" Simra asked suddenly. Hilary winced at the statement.
"I don't know! Really." Hilary frowned in tension. "At least, Delia is least interested."
"Oh. I've heard about Daniel's flirting during the first day meet-up with your batch, so I thought to ask. No worries," Simra consoled.
"There is nothing as such, ma'am. Delia is an innocent girl. She has gone through lot to come here for studying." Hilary explained.
"I understand. Anyway, carry on." Simra left.
Hilary sighed and gazed at the decor of the room. She kept on going deeper inside the endless hall. There was much more: Cello, large trumpets, saxophone, clarinets, ukuleles. She haven't even heard a few names.
She smiled as she felt how lucky she would have been if she could have used them all. Suddenly the lights shut off and the electricity was gone. Hilary terribly flinched and cried slightly. She seemed to forget her way. Calming herself and asking the help of moonlight, she walked carefully toward the window and breathed in relief. The curtains flung, air came in, and she held her fist near her chest.
Amid of her fears and rests, she felt someone walk inside. She wasn't scared, but she wondered who it was.
The sounds of footsteps far from her in the hall echoed. They were firm and strong. She frowned deeply, not knowing who that person was.
Softly, unexpectedly, a serene music flowed and filled the hall. The piano keys were perfectly played, followed by guitar's strings moved with accorded fingers of the musician. Hilary smiled and she felt a sense of peaceful and elated feeling as the calmness of the music played. She tapped her feet in accord. How beautiful can music be? How indescribable this sensation was. How rhapsodic it felt. The curtains even swayed more, the breezes was fluttering harder.
Hilary delightfully leaned against the window and closed her eyes in bliss. The feeling was so priceless. The music was driving her to a point of ecstasy from where returning would hurt.
It was so perfect, so fully admirable, filled with the calmness of humanity, nature and feelings. She felt like she would definitely friendship with this person.
The music ended softly and a tear of happiness slid down her eyes. She heard a breath of sigh. She didn't say a word, just gave applause heartily, shocking the musician.
"Beautiful it was!" She chirped.
"Who's here?" A masculine voice asked calmly. The voice seemed familiar but she didn't know whose it was.
"I'm your admirer." Hilary giggled softly.
"Thanks, but..." he stopped, "I don't appreciate intruders. This was a private moment actually. I'd taken permission from Simra ma'am to use the hall."
"Uh," Hilary frowned. What's personal in this?
"Are you of 2nd year?" She asked.
"No, I'm Fresher," he said,
"Me too," she said. "Sorry. Can I see you?" She asked.
"Let it be, leave." The other person sighed.
"Your kind name?" She asked.
"Hilary," he chuckled. Hilary frowned. "Hey, that's my name. How did you know it?"
"We are talking, I'm your classmate, so I just guessed. Anyway, I'm leaving, you guess my name till then." He smirked before he secretly walked out.
"Hey, please can you play that music again tomorrow?" She shouted but he left, though he had heard her and smiled.
Hilary smiled. Such a shy guy. Personal moment? Why? What was personal in that though. Hilary sighed. I will find out who he is.
.
.
.
Hilary slowly walked out when the power came back. She huffed and left the hall. Shall I inform Simra ma'am about this guy?
An idea came in her mind and she immediately strolled out and ran in the corridor. She ran throughout the floor but she couldn't find her. She again rushed to the musical hall but there was no one. She sighed in disappointment.
"Hey, where were you, Hils?" Delia popped up.
"What?" Hilary jolted in suddenness.
"What?"
"I mean, you were at the lecture hall, right?" Hilary asked.
"Simra ma'am said that you were here so I thought to check you out. All good?" Delia shrugged.
"Where is Simra ma'am?"
"She's in Senior's library." Delia said. Hilary didn't utter a word, she ran towards the next building and though she was tired, she didn't stop.
It was nighttime and she didn't know if any ghost's spirits roamed here or not. Small streetlights lined in the expanses and grounds. She could hear the boys' sounds whistling and roaring, playing football. She ignored and crossed the expanse past the football court. The bushes were darker and she felt the air run through as she trotted faster.
I just wish Simra ma'am doesn't go anywhere else.
She sighed and panted heavily as she reached a new block. She entered the building. It was finely lighted. She was quietly panting. She climbed upstairs and reached the reading room. Her eyes roamed and examined the hall and she spotted Simra reading some magazine.
She walked silently towards her until Simra acknowledged,
"Hey, what're you doing?" Simra asked,
"Is she a Fresher?" Another guy beside Simra, seated with a grin asked. Simra nodded.
"Hey cutie, c'mon, tell me your BD," The guy smirked, full in the mood of ragging.
"Raf, not now. Please," Simra rolled her eyes.
"I just want to ask something to you, ma'am," Hilary said politely, "I will tell you my BD, just a second,"
"First tell your BD, girl," Rafael demanded.
"Fine." Hilary said reluctantly, "My name's Hilary Tachibana. I'm from Tokyo, Japan. I've come here to study. And my hobbies include sleeping in free time, reading when I feel so, listening songs recommended by my friends. And I don't have any crushes, bfs, right now. Thankfully." She said in one go.
"Wow, that included everything." Rafael gave a bare laugh, "Okay, you may continue with wherever,"
Simra gave a sympathetic smile to Hilary. "Simra ma'am, after you were gone from the music hall, the lights were gone for a while and in that time, a guy came in and he played some piano and guitar-some nice music actually but I didn't got chance to see him. Was he an invader or did he informed you?"
"Ah, he was your batch-mate. He asked me." Simra smiled.
"Oh," Hilary smiled nervously.
"Are you interested in knowing him?" Rafael gave a smirk to her. Hilary twitched. Yes, she wanted to, but why this senior seemed like he wanted something creepy, "NO, sir," Hilary said.
"That was Ryan Finlay, the gut-guy, as I've heard many of the fellows titling him," Simra said intuitively knowing that Hilary has come all this way to ask the guy's name but Rafa was trying to get on her nerves.
Rafael frowned at his batch-mate. "What? Why are you staring at me?" Simra frowned back.
Rafael ignored, peacefully continuing back reading the small sized novel he was reading.
Simra groaned slightly, "Hilary, is there anything else?" She asked to the brunette who was cautiously staring the duo.
"Haha, I'll leave." Hilary chuckled in utter fake voice and disappeared within seconds.
.
.
.
"Hey, where were you?" Margot asked. "You disappeared after dinner suddenly."
"I was at Senior's library." Hilary said.
"Or precisely at the musical hall, huh?" Delia smirked.
"I went from there to library, Delia," Hilary said.
"Anyway, I'm so excited and hooked up for Freshers from now. Our seniors seem to be on a bigger blast!" Delia said excitedly.
"Oh, even I'm looking ahead for it," Hilary gave a genuine smile.
"Aren't you participating in any of it," Margot asked, "I'm up for piano peacetime!"
"What's that?" They asked.
"Misty ma'am, an Engineering student and close friend of Simra ma'am came here for few days. She's in charge of it, she said me about this. There are few participants and they can give their best piano peace music to her and three will be selected which will be played in the midst of the event. The winners are also given prizes and are announced as well"
"Sounds boring," Delia rolled her eyes.
"Maybe," Margot pouted, "But I'm good at piano, so I'm giving it a try. I'm going to music hall at 5 PM tomorrow. Just asked Simra m'aam."
"Cool." Hilary smiled.
"Hey Hilary, you know two guys in our class are awesome at instrumentals, leave alone their singing though. I heard Annie ma'am speaking about them. Might be she noticed them," Margot said,
"Annie ma'am? The one who rag all boys in our college?" Hilary said in shock.
"Nah, that's Nainika ma'am, from Final Years. Annie ma'am is our Immediate senior, the one who was with Sar sir, remember?." Delia made a good guess. They look cute though.
"I'm scared of Nainika ma'am. She horribly did ragging of Rolly from our class and also of Ryan." Hilary mentioned.
"I saw that day, I felt really bad," Delia said sadly,
"Aha, as I was saying, those two guys are good at instrumentals," Margot said, "Annie ma'am said that Ryan and Rolly will be given prizes most probably from our batch for instrumentals."
"I didn't knew that," Hilary said in shock, "And by the way, who's this guy Ryan?" Hilary asked with a frown and slight frustration.
"Hey!" Delia waved a hand, "Ryan! The one who saved me on the first day from Daniel!"
"Oh yeah... HE IS Ryan?" Hilary asked.
"Yeah," they said.
"Never knew it. I knew Rolly though. The guy helped me with dissection the other day." Hilary said in praise.
"Is Rolly native of America?" Margot asked suddenly.
"Why would I know.." Hilary raised an eyebrow.
"He is! I heard him speak so fluently. Shame on us," Delia said.
"Wo! You're quick." Hilary said.
"That day..." Delia said, "Rolly and Ryan, bitterly were ragged by Nainika ma'am." She said in shudder.
"What exactly happened? I was with Vri actually, we went to terrace actually," Hilary said
"Is Vri our classmate or Senior?" Margot interrupted again.
"Classmate duh,"
"As I was saying, Nainika ma'am was standing with Oli ma'am and others. When she saw Ryan going with Rolly- I think they were going for some football match against the seniors, and right that moment, the duo was stopped by Nainika ma'am, though Oli ma'am understood her vile motives and tried to stop her but she didn't." Delia said,
"Then?" Margot asked.
"Poor Ryan, he was asked to stand on one palm for one minute and then flirt with any girl. Ryan hitched at that but he'd no other choice seeing how persuasive she was." Delia said with a sad look.
"Then?" Hilary asked, "Which girl he flirted with?"
"It was Ezabella," Delia said with a sweat drop, "Poor Eza, she was nervous in the start, like heck- a nervous wreck, then later I think he said sorry to her,"
"Phew, poor Ezabella," Hilary twitched.
"Then it was Rolly's turn. Damn, he was asked to gell his hair and prior to that, they made him say or precisely shout in the corridor 'I don't like girls!' for five minutes and all the girls were giving him murderous looks,"
"Don't know about Ryan, but I think Rolly will avenge Nainika ma'am, inspite of being junior,"
"Maybe," the girls giggled.
"Oli ma'am is sweet though. She gave the boys two Excellence bars! Yum!" Delia said,
"Hey, what was Daniel saying you in the morning, before Physiology lab?" Margot asked.
"He came to ask if I've got an extra apron! And why would I have! And why would I give! I said no and ran off." Delia said.
"I talked to Simra ma'am today. She was in library later with Rafa sir."
"Hilary, he's Rafael sir, not Rafa. One may mistake you nicknaming him and assuming things, I think you got me." Margot said with a heavy smirk and warn.
"Tch, I didn't know," Hilary said with a hard look.
"I'm all for piano!" Margot said, "Misty ma'am encourages so much. She said I'd potential to win this little competition,"
"Exactly, little competition!" Delia said smugly.
"Ouch," Margot winced sarcastically.
Hey, I was meaning to ask you girls: Did-" Hilary eyed evilly, "Did you saw that Kitty ma'am horribly insulted Daniel today!"
"Really?" Delia gave an unbelievable satisfactory smile.
"I really forgot to say this: Kitty ma'am and Daniel sir are classmates, and it seemed they were good friends. The guy had crush on her which she didn't reciprocate. And the fact that Daniel flirted with Delia made Kitty ma'am very angry and she scolded, insulted him amongst the Final years weekend's conference in their private lecture hall." Hilary said," Shav ma'am was speaking to her classmate, I heard it during the break,"
The girls gulped down the cold water and giggled once again thinking about Daniel and Kitty.
Hilary's thoughts shifted to the Music hall.
'Such a beautiful place it is... I'll make sure to visit it,'
"Umm, actually I liked the Music hall very much, quite of all, that's the best part in the campus!" Hilary said thinking.
"What's there in it?" Delia asked.
Hilary ignored.
.
.
.
The next day, she had downloaded the instrumentals of few songs, and after the college was over, she reached out for Simra.
"Hey, look where are you going!" A guy shouted at her angrily as she crashed at the entrance of 1st year's block.
"That can be said to you rather you know!" Hilary screamed impulsively. She regretted the moment she noticed that it was Rafael.
Rafael gave an amused and triumphant smirk. 'Juniors weren't supposed to shout at seniors ever.' The thought made her cringe in fright.
"I'm sorry!" Hilary bowed, "I mistook you for Ryan," Hilary said and again she regretted that she took Ryan's name.
"Aww, that's sweet," Rafael said with an amused huge grin.
Yesterday's library scene was enough to make her understand the motives the guy.
"What?" Hilary said, stupefied.
"See, Ryan is in your all thoughts. When are you guys going on your first date?" Rafael asked, "I'll make sure to help you guys, and I'll also give you the allowances for it,"
Hilary's face was puzzled with unbelievable expressions. She was dumbfounded. 'I-Is he a matchmaker or what?'
"B-But, I didn't even talk to him even once," Hilary said with the still shock.
"Haha I understand, you don't have to worry, I'll make everything perfect," Rafael patted her and his expressions said clearly that this matchmaking idea made him triumphant and he was going to let this happen.
'Will I have to pretend for some time that I and Ryan are a couple?'
Hilary sighed, "Where you've got yourself into, girl!" She shouted to herself.
She sighed. She was walking with a dull look on her face to the next block to the Music hall. 'I hope Simra ma'am is there around. I should have taken her contact. Why does singles have to suffer? In this college, is Rafael sir the only matchmaker or many others?'
She shrugged her hand as an ant crawled on and she twitched in crazy anger. She was almost reaching the block. The ground was as usual filled with boys trotting to football ground. She shook her head in monotony. A sudden gaze caught her attention. 'Isn't that Ryan...' She saw him. He was enjoying racing with Rolly and Ron and other classmates to the ground dressed in the football suit. She noticed how black those eyes were and that absolutely gorgeous messed up hair. A flush was approaching, so she shook her head again violently and ran into the block.
She saw that Simra was just talking to some senior.
"You'll like our college Misty, I'll show you the Musical hall, come in."
"Who's this?" Hilary mumbled to herself.
"Hey, Hilary, meet my friend, this is Misty," Simra said to Hilary, beckoning her to come.
"Hey, good evening, Misty ma'am," Hillary greeted.
"Hey sweetie, how are you?" Misty smiled warmly.
"Good," Hilary smiled genuinely, 'Except that Rafael is a damned matchmaker,'
"Are you okay?" Misty asked worriedly,
"Yeah," Hilary smiled nervously,"Can I use the Music hall, Simra ma'am?"
"Uhu, I was going to show it to Misty, Hilary," Simra said,
"Hey it's okay, Sims. We will go out and watch the matches," Misty suggested, seeing that Hilary was ardent in using the Music hall.
"Uh, okay, Mist," Simra said with a sweaty smile.
Misty ushered her out while Hilary was grateful to her to give her time for this privacy.
She strode in, the hall was lighted already. The sight of the instrumentals made her smile so earnestly. She wished if she knew how to use them. But she sighed, as she couldn't.
'I mayn't be a pianist, but I'm free to sing!' She grinned. She took her phone, checker for speakers, switched them on, and connected her phone which had the instrumentals of a song she'd downloaded last night- Someone that I needed by Jason.
The instrumental was hard to find and later however she managed to download. The instrumentals played in reverberate and she felt her heart beating in elation.
"Wow, this is so magnificent!" She loved how the loud music was playing.
She went to the microphone and breathed in, getting in the rhythm, tapping her feet,
"No one there to talk me off the edge," she recited the verse with feelings, feeling curious and gleeful to hear her own voice,
"Caving in, I just hold my breath," she exhaled out for a tiny pause, "Maybe I can make the dark a friend, walk beside me but not get ahead," She tapped her feet, feeling absolutely lost in the rhapsody of the melody,
" 'Cause my heart beat bleeds into all the wasted time, and every time I sleep, I'm afraid of what I'll find...I'm so hard on myself, looking for answers from everyone else but If I dig real deep, maybe I could change my mind," She was wobbling her chin in tune and rhythm finding everything intuitive.
"In the darkness
Close my eyes and breath in
Focus on the feeling
Floating through the ceiling
Is the secret
Hiding underneath this
Mess of broken pieces
Someone I believe in
Someone that I needed" She caroled sweetly. She was even surprised how her own voice was came out so nicer than she'd thought.
'Damn, I've wanted to experience this feeling...' She thought. 'This is so good,'
The instrumental was done since it wasn't downloaded completely. Hilary smiled at herself in admiration. "Woo!" She chirped happily. She strolled on one heel.
An applause echoed. She stopped and froze, turning in a second to see a person clapping for her, his face smiling in admiration, looking absolutely happy.
"Hey," Hilary almost mumbled, "What were you doing here?" She asked timidly.
"This is my time to use the music hall. I am waiting since past few minutes,"
"You're watching me?" She said appalled,
"Apparently, yeah."
"That's wrong! You'd not invade someone's privacy!" She huffed.
"That's what exactly you did yesterday. Didn't you? And you applauded for me. So I did I. It wasn't fake though. You sang well." He said with a smirk.
"You're Ryan, right?" Hilary pointed a finger to him, frowning in astonishment.
"Bingo. So what brings you here?" He asked as he walked towards the aisle and picked a guitar, testing its chords, "Are you participating in the singing competition?"
"None of your business," Hilary gave a sarcastic smile.
"Though I'd suggest you to participate, you're good singer," Ryan looked at her puzzled face, "Really," he smiled. She felt a jolt of pleasure, but she gulped.
Before she'd ignore him and walk away, he had started playing the piano first, followed by guitar, its chords getting her full attention, making her stupefied of the instrumental he was playing. She turned at him and looked at him in surprise with mouth slightly agape.
'Daoko of Fireworks.' The song immediately came to her mind.
"How can you play both of them almost at the same time?" Hilary said impulsively, keeping a muffled tone.
"Hm," he threw a microphone in her direction which she caught easily,
She still was confused, "Should I sing?" She asked in physical action.
He nodded. "Ano hi miwatashita nagisa o ima mo omoidasun da," she chorused nervously, noticing how bad she sounded,
"Suna no ue ni kizanda kotoba kimi no ushiro sugata
Yorikaesu nami ga ashimoto o yogiri nanika o sarau
Yuunagi no naka higure dake ga toorisugite yuku," the huskiness in her tone gradually filled,
Ryan smiled at her. She blushed. She definitely felt attracted to him. There was something alluring and attractive about that cool and calm face and that smile felt so touched and intoxicating.
"Patto hikatte saita hanabi o miteita
Kitto mada owaranai natsu ga
Aimai na kokoro o tokashite tsunaida
Kono yoru ga tsudzuite hoshikatta" She serenaded again, her expressions in perfect accordance, as he bet the small drums whilst, followed by guitar chords, chilling up.
"Ato nando kimi to onaji hanabi o mirareru ka na" tte
Warau kao ni nani ga dekiru darou ka
Kizutsuku koto yorokobu koto kurikaesu nami to joudou
Shousou saishuu ressha no oto" He sang almost like how it was in the song. Hilary was beyond shocked of how his fluency was so perfect though he was American native. Japanese was not everyone cup of tea, how beautifully he was perfect. She gave a speechless thumbs up to him.
"Nando demo kotoba ni shite kimi o yobu yo
Namima o erabi, mou ichido
Mou nido to kanashimazu ni sumu you ni" He sang the next lyric. They paused as he played the guitar and strings with drum alongside. The instrumental wasn't perfect since he was the only person handling it, but it gave a beautiful sensation,
"Hatto iki o nomeba kiechaisou na hikari ga
Kitto mada mune ni sundeita
Te o nobaseba fureta attakai mirai wa
Hisoka ni futari o miteita" Hilary serenaded cheerfully with a full smile.
Ryan noted her.
"Patto hanabi ga" she chorused,
Ryan repeated after her
"Yoru ni saita" She rushed, he repeated again after her,
"Shizuka ni kieta"
"Shizuka ni kieta" he repeated, following her,
"Hanasanaide"
"Hanasanaide" he was quick but his tone was deeply suggestive that he was loving it.
"Mou sukoshi dake" she sang almost in an exhale,
"Mou sukoshi dake,"
"Mou sukoshi dake, Kono mama de," the strings were softly played and Hilary realized that she loved the way he stared at the guitar, there was a pause,
"Ano hi miwatashita nagisa o ima mo omoidasun da
Suna no ue ni kizanda kotoba kimi no ushiro sugata" she sang heartily in soft and slow tone, feeling literally feeling a heart burst in happiness.
The strings were played louder with beats on drums,
" Patto hikatte saita hanabi o miteita
Kitto mada owaranai natsu ga
Aimai na kokoro o tokashite tsunaida
Kono yoru ga tsudzuite hoshikatta" she sang in rush, ending the song. Ryan played the last strings which finally ended a beautiful memory of this song.
She sighed heavily and gave few exhales. Ryan was even more tired. He himself couldn't believe he played almost three instrumentals and sang with her. He was smiling at her as he was exhaling breaths.
They laughed happily at each other, heartily.
"That was wonderful!" Hilary said joyously.
"Of course," He giggled softly. Hilary smiled genuinely at him as they laughter subsided.
"I heard you and Rolly are awesome at instrumentals. And guess what, I've seen that today." Hilary admired. Ryan stared in her ruby orbs, "You really sang well, and I appreciate it seeing that you're actually an American," Hilary said,
"Haha," Ryan laughed softly, "My mom is from Japan actually and dad is native,"
"Oh," Hilary was curious, "That explains... but still, your voice is so seraphic and delicate while you sing," Hilary said,
"Damn, Hilary anything but just stop praising me. I feel so flattered already," Ryan said.
Was she praising him too much? She bit her lip.
"Sorry?" She said politely, "Oh, thanks for admiring me too. I'm not a good singer, just the feeling get to me."
"Yeah of course, it gets to everyone, but voice is a god's gift," Ryan winked.
"Maybe," Hilary's face was still smiling and she looked at the instruments they used,
"I want to learn piano, wish I could learn it," she expressed.
"Its okay, don't regret." He picked up his bag, "I'm leaving. I'm having arm wrestling match with Rolly," He turned, "See you,"
"Bye," she said. She expected to have some more time with him. Probably she could have taken his contact, or asked him to stay longer.
'Arm Wrestling match. Duh.'
.
.
.
She called Delia and told her that she's coming to room, but was informed that Delia and Margot were at the wrestling match witnessing stunning matches there.
Hilary gasped.
She immediately rushed to the sports' block within five minutes and took another five minutes to reach the large crowd witnessing the ongoing match.
She barreled and reached in front of the crowd to see Ryan and Rolly already giving harsh stares and evil smiles as they clutched each others palms, fingers tight, trying to move their fists in their sides.
"Whoao, c'mon guys!" She yelled.
Ryan was almost on the verge of defeating Rolly but Hilary's voice gave a good distraction and Rolly used the opportunity to turn the tables and within a second, it was Rolly who was almost about slam Ryan's fist on his side.
"You're going down, Ry" Rolly smirked triumphantly.
"Hey, it's all right," Ryan tittered.
"It was that girl, right," Hilary heard a few muffled voices.
"C'mon guys!" Delia yelled, "Ryan you can do it!"
"Do it!" Hilary said in a low voice.
"And I win," Rolly threw his fist in air, "Congrats buddy," Ryan smiled lightly. The boys gave half hug and laughed. "You built fine muscles," Rolly commented and Ryan giggled, "Less better than you," Ryan said.
"Phew, well that was quite a match," Hilary smiled looking at them.
"Well, I must leave now, I've got the imposition to write down," Rolly said with grimace as Dr. Evyan came in his mind who gave him the imposition for being late in the morning to write down the anatomy of scalp five times.
"Good luck," Ryan laughed.
The crowd was fading out and there was more air to breathe in. The ground was smoothered with gentle turf and the sunset was nearing.
"C'mon Hils, let's go," Margot and Delia yawned, "Had enough for today. Lets get a nap and snacks,"
Hilary nodded as she still had her eyes secretly and unknowingly on Ryan.
"See you," he passed by her giving a glance.
"Hey," she turned, "Are you coming to Music hall again tomorrow?" She asked.
Margot and Delia were curiously listening.
"I'll see, not sure." He hung his bag on his smooth shoulder, "I've few other work tomorrow, but I'll try,"
"Oh, you can call me if you're coming," she said with a hopeful smile.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" A sudden voice startled them. Hilary twitched her eyebrows when she looked at the intruder. 'Not this matchmaker again,'
"Going on date already?" Rafael said in enthusiasm.
'What?' Ryan gasped, blinking a couple of times, confounded.
"Hey, why is your mouth hanging," Rafael walked towards Ryan. Delia and Margot were becoming extremely curious for this probable secret of their friend to unfold.
"Chill up. You're not the first couple of this college," Rafael patted.
"What are you even saying?" Ryan said finally, surprised in the same way he was moments ago,
"Aha, we are going. We were just deciding the timings for tomorrow, Rafael sir," Hilary said, nervous wreck from inside.
"Good good; where are you both going by the way?" Rafael turned towards Hilary, noticing Delia and Margot in the process.
"Canteen. It's the liveliest place," Sarcasm dropped in her voice which the senior boy didn't notice.
"What? That eww canteen?" Rafael asked, "Stop being fools, if you didn't have money, you could have said me," He growled slowly.
"No no, I'm having." Hilary said, "We'll go out at some cafeteria."
"Good," Rafael patted on her back and strolled away.
Delia and Margot looked in amusement and shock at the duo. Ryan himself was staring in bewilderment at the brunette.
"Will you guys stop giving that look!" She shouted,
"Really?" Ryan asked.
"Look, that guy is a matchmaker. Yesterday," Hilary looked at Ryan, "I went to Simra ma'am to ask her about you,"
"Me? Why?" Ryan raised an eyebrow,
"You used the Music hall without revealing your identity. I was a little suspicious and I thought to ask her, since she's the in charge. It was past sunset and I went to library. Rafael sir was along with Simra ma'am in library." Hilary took a breath. Ryan urged to continue, "And when I asked her, he assumed something hugely wrong about you and me like we are nascent lovers or something and since then, he was put no ends on pestering me to go on a date with you," Hilary said with slight disgust.
Ryan blinked for a second and nodded.
"Why were you so curious to know who that person was in music hall yesterday?" Margot questioned.
Hilary looked at Ryan, "Answer her,"
"Phew, this grew out of control." Ryan wobbled his head in utter disbelief.
"Now what are you planning to do then?" Delia asked with a curious grin.
"What?" Ryan interrupted.
"We have to go, at least pretend to. He'll not leave us or else," Hilary gulped in.
"I'm not coming to the music hall tomorrow." Ryan said abruptly.
Hilary was suddenly worried, did she annoyed him?
"Hey... why?" She mustered courage to ask. He was already walking away,
"Because I've to go on a date with a girl who doesn't know how to play instrumentals," he said in a fading tone.
They were quiet.
A/N:
Note 1: No offense. This has been written purely for fun, and I don't have any bad intention regarding anyone.
Note 2: Ragging is a punishable offense, don't support it. But make sure you promote it as much as possible in fictions XD
Note 3: Seniors are to addressed as ma'am and sir, unless you've got beyond close with them and they don't mind. XD XD
Note 4: I've completed with the Flashback part, I just have to prof read it once. There are more seven parts, excluding this part (Total eight,)- it came out of about total 45k+ words. In these Flashbacks parts, part 7 to 12 is of about First year (2014-15), part 13 and 14 is of 2nd Year (2016-17). There've been incidents and content given already in previous normal chapters for 3rd, 4th and just completed Internship of Hils, so nothing about that in these parts. These all parts talk about before Ryan's health was bad, when he was cool, happy, very cheerful and healthy.
...
So, how was it? I hope you've enjoyed it. I haven't been able to include all characters right in this chapter, but they will all come soon, promise ;P

There are use of songs and music multiple times, if you've liked it, please listen while you read, or you may just simple read, :)
Reply to Guest11: Thanks for reviewing. :D Kai, Max, Ray and Daichi currently do not know about Tyson's accident. I will show their parts later. Hilary will also come to know what happened. I've removed the name in the previous chapter's reply. You can check. Is it okay if its used in Flashback chapter though?
Review please. :D
