Be My Valentine

Kahoko Hino was practicing her violin on the rooftop of the academy one day. She was terrible of course as she was still not used to playing a normal violin before. While she was practicing, she heard a sound of a door opening.

Kahoko:(turning around) Oh, it's you Len, Good evening.

Len :Good evening.(looking annoyed)Was that you playing just now?

Kahoko:Uh yeah. It was horrible wasn't it? The way my violin sounds, I mean.

Len :What do you think? It sounded like a cat meowing on the verge of it's death.

Kahoko:Huh?(confused)

Len :It's terrible. (sounding cold)

Kahoko: You don't have to put it harshly you know.(sounding hurt)

Len :I'm just saying the truth and you know it. Accept the truth don't run away

from it.

Kahoko:I know I know. You told me that once before. (trying to change the subject)

Anyway,you know that dance the academy is holding next week?

Len :You mean the valentine dance? What about it?

Kahoko: Oh I'm just thinking about the theme of the dance "Ballet of Romance".

Doesn't it sound romantic?

Len : I think it's best if you discuss this matter with a girl not me.

Kahoko: Oh right.(blushing) What kind of music do you think they'll be playing

at the dance?

Len : Classical music most probably. This conversation has nothing to do with me.

So I'll be leaving now.(walking away)

Kahoko: Uh sure.

Meanwhile......

In Kazuki and Azuma's class, they were packing their things when Kazuki spoke.

Kazuki: Hey Azuma, You know that valentine dance the academy is hosting?

Azuma: Yes, what about it?

Kazuki: Well, who are you planning to take with you to the dance?

Azuma: I haven't really thought about it yet. What about you?

Kazuki: Me? Um...er.....I....er-(lost for words)

Azuma: Oh, can't think of anyone?

Kazuki: No! It's not that. Actually, I do have someone in mind.

The moment those words left his mouth he mentally slapped himself when he heard what he said.

Azuma:(getting interested) Oh, do you? Who is it? Who's the lucky girl?

Kazuki;I-I'm not telling you. You'll find out on the night of the dance.(running off)

In another place.....

Shouko was on her way to one of the music rooms . She was deep in thought.

Shouko:(thinking) Valentine's Day is in two weeks. Then there's this dance. I wonder

who should I go with?

She was so deep in thought that she bumped into someone on the way.

Shouko: (fell down) Oof! Ow....(rubbing her sore head)

While doing so, she saw a hand extending towards her as if someone is offering help to her. She looked up and saw Keiichi with some books in his hands

Keiichi: (in a sleepy voice) Hey, need any help?

Shouko: (getting up) Uh n-no thanks, I-I c-can handle it . Sorry a-about that.

Keiichi:(sounding confused) About what?

Shouko: For bumping into you.(in her thoughts) Maybe....

Keiichi: Oh that. It's okay.

Shouko:Um where are you going?(thinking) Maybe he....

Keiichi: To the library. To return these books.

Shouko: Oh i see.

Keiichi:Hey Shouko. Can I ask you something?

Shouko: Uh s-sure.(thinking) Is he ...inviting me to t-the dance? No it couldn't

be. Could it?

Keiichi and Shouko stared at each other for a while. No one spoke. Suddenly,

Keiichi: Can you help me return this books to the library? I need to go somewhere

soon. (in a sleepy voice)

Shouko practically fell down.

Shouko:(crushed) Uh s-sure. Why not. (in her thoughts) I knew it. I shouldn't have my

hopes up.

Keiichi: Thanks a lot Shouko.(smiling his angelic smile)

Shouko:(blushing) Y-your welcome.

Author: That's it for now I guess. I promise to continue it as soon as possible. Please review!
