Kaori ran downstairs quickly as her mom called her downstairs, smiling as she saw Kosei waiting for her in his usual perfect school uniform. She fixed her shirt before hugging Kosei tightly saying good-bye to her parents before her and Kosei left to go to school with Kaori holding onto her school jacket as they walked. Tsubaki was already at school at softball practice where Kosei and Kaori found her, cheering her on as she worked. They continued to watch her and as Watari walked over and waved at them though Kaori was a little cold to him, turning her head from him as she leaned against Kosei slightly. Watari sighed as he put his hands in his pocket as Kosei leaned in to talk to Kaori.

"At least try to give him a chance please, for me?" Kosei asked her quietly.

"I am still going to be pissed for a while Kosei…" Kaori told him. "He never even tried to let anyone know that he wouldn't be able to make it to the recital."

Kosei nodded as he looked at Tsubaki walking over to them, hugging Kaori tightly before she hugged Kosei and Watari before she looked at Kaori.

"Did Kosei treat you nicely while you two walked here?" Tsubaki asked him.

"He was a real gentleman and he even promised to take me to get something to eat after school." Kaori replied as she gently hugged Kosei. "Is that right Kosei?"

Kosei nodded as he sighed. "Yeah she told me about a nearby café that she was wanting to go to."

Tsubaki smiled and punch Kosei in the arm playfully as she smiled softly.

"Well I am glad you two are getting along so well." Tsubaki told them, as she did her best not to let the worry she felt show on her face.

Tsubaki sighed as she turned away from them, she was happy that Kosei seemed to have found someone that was making him happy though she didn't know why she was she felt so bad at the same. When she looked back the both of them were waving good-bye to her and Watari as he made his way over to Tsubaki.

"Do you know what is what is wrong with your friend Tsubaki?" Watari asked her.

Tsubaki glared at him as she turned towards him and put a finger against his chest.

"That was the friend tha wanted to meet you yesterday you idiot." Tsubaki growl. "Where the hell were you?"

"Sorry, I was held back slightly with soccer and lost track of time." Watari told her as he held up his hands defensively.

"Well a text would have been nice to let us know instead of her thinking that you just didn't care." Tsubaki told him before she headed towards the locker room to get changed for class.

Kaori sighed softly as she rubbed her face gently, leaning against the lockers as Kosei got his stuff ready for class.

"Are you alright Kaori?" Kosei asked her as he gently squeezed her shoulder.

"I guess, its just that seeing Watari just standing there and not acting like he didn't just ghost us yesterday." Kaori replied as she shook her head.

Kosei smiled softly as he gently brushed some of her hair out of her face.

"Well, at least try to give him a chance as a friend alright?" Kosei asked again. "I am not asking for you to do it right away but eventually alright?"

Kaori huffed slight and crossed her arms before she nodded. "Alright, but only because you asked so nicely, but I am only going to give him one more chance and that's that."

Kosei nodded, knowing not to push for any further. He knew what Watari did yesterday was hurtful for Kaori and there was no sort of excuse that he could think of to make it any better as he finished getting his stuff. After he closed his locker he walked with Kaori to her first class and felt his face heat up slightly again as she kissed his cheek softly before walking into her class and sitting down leaving him to go to his own homeroom.

As the lunch bell rang to let people out Kosei quickly made his way up to the roof where he usually ate his lunch and he was surprised to find Kaori already up there waiting for his with a brown paper bag in her hands.

"Oh hey Kaori. What are you doing up here?" Kosei asked her as he looked at the bag.

"Well, I noticed that you didn't seem to have a lunch so I ran over to the nearby convenience store and got some egg sandwiches since that since to be all that you tend to eat." Kaori told him. "You seriously need to get a better diet Kosei."

Kaori leaned towards Kosei as she put her hands on her hips as she looked at him.

"I know, I know." Kosei sighed. "I like the sandwiches and they are pretty cheap to get."

Kaori sighed and shook her head before they both sat down. Kaori opened up the bag and reached in before pulling out a sandwich for each of them, handing one to Kosei as she wrapped her own. They both started to eat as Kaori leaned against Kosei slightly, smiling softly. After they got done eat Kaori moved so that she was sitting in front of Kosei.

"Can I ask you something Kosei?" Kaori asked him as she looked at him.

Kosei raised an eyebrow as her looked at her. "What's up Kaori?"

"So uh… my accompanying pianist kind of quit after the stunt I pulled in the qualifiers" Kaori told him sheepishly as she smiled slightly.

Kosei nodded slowly as he ran a hand through his hair gently. "I would have to think about it Kaori. I am really rusty so I don't know how well it go over with the judges."

Kaori smiled as she hugged Kosei tightly. "Thank you Kosei, this really means a lot to me…"

Kosei nodded again as he rubbed her back gently as he held onto her and after a while they got up and made their way back down into the school.

After school was over Kosei and looked around as he didn't see Kaori around anywhere, though he did see Tsubaki and made his way over to her.

"Hey Tsubaki, do you know where Kaori is?" Kosei asked her.

"I think she said she had to go to the hospital to check on someone." Tsubaki told him.

Kosei nodded as he put his bag over her shoulder. "Thanks Tsubaki, I will talk to you later."

Tsubaki only nodded as Kosei ran out of the school, making his way to the hospital.
