One day, after school, Ryotaro was walking towards one of the music rooms. He planned to practice playing the piano. He was working on a new song. On the way, he bumped into Kazuki.

Ryotaro:Hey,watch where you're going,Kazuki.

Kazuki :Huh? Oh sorry.

Ryotaro knew something was wrong with Kazuki. He's not in his usual hyper self. His constant smile had been replaced by a frown.

Ryotaro:(looking concerned) Hey, are you okay? You look depressed. And I don't mean

"the ham sandwich in the cafeteria ran out or something like that" kind

of depression. You have a problem or something?

Kazuki : (chuckled) Oh no it's nothing like that. It's just that....

Ryotaro: C'mon. You can tell me. I'm always ready to help my friends.

Kazuki : (frowned) Hey Ryotaro, I know you must think I'm weird for asking this but...

can you..um..

Ryotaro: Well?

Kazuki : (taking a deep breath) Can you teach me how to ask a girl out?

Ryotaro:(confused) Eh?

Kazuki : You used to have a girlfriend right? So you must know about this things.

Ryotaro: I guess....

Kazuki : So can you please teach me how to ask a girl out?!(practically begging)

Ryotaro:Well,I...uh...

Suddenly,Azuma appeared.

Azuma :(smiling) Hey there. What are you guys talking about?

Kazuki :(turning towards him) Oh, Azuma. You're good with the ladies,right?

Azuma :(taken back) Well..I....

Kazuki :Oh don't be so modest. I know you are. Can you help me with one favour?

Azuma :Does this have anything to do with asking out a girl?

Kazuki : Yes, can you teach me how?

Azuma : Well, sure but.. I would like to know, who's this lucky girl?

Ryotaro: Yaeh, who is she?

Kazuki : (unable to answer) Uh...(pretending to here the school bell)

Oh well you look at that. The school bell rang. Gotta go,late

for class.(running off)

Once he's gone...

Ryotaro:Geez,that Kazuki. If he had to pretend, he could have done better that that.

"late for class". Oh please. The school's over already.

Azuma : Well, he's never good at acting. By the way, looks like almost the whole

academy is talking about the upcoming dance. Especially the girls. Don't

you agree?

Ryotaro:I guess. Kahoko just talked about it just now.

Azuma : Speaking of her,are you, by any chance on planning to ask her to the dance?

Ryotaro:I'm...not...uh...um...

Azuma : Not? Not what? Not planning or not sure?

Ryotaro: Not sure. What about you Azuma?

Azuma : I certainly haven't thought about it yet. Maybe or maybe not. I might be taking

Ayano instead.

Ryotaro: How's she anyway?

Azuma : She's doing just fine. Well I gotta go. I shouldn't be wasting your time like this. See

you tomorrow.

Ryotaro:Sure.

At Len's house...

Len : Good evening mother. I'm home.

Misa Hamai: Welcome home,dear. Len, is it true that the academy is hosting a special

dance next week?

Len :Well,yes.

Misa Hamai:That sounds exciting.

Len :What's so exciting about it?

Misa Hamai:I just figured...never mind. Anyway,who are you planning to take with you

to the dance?

Len :Uh... I don't want to talk about it right now.

Misa Hamai: Oh,okay then dear.

In Len's room,

Len: What is wrong with me? When she asked that question I suddenly thought of...

Never mind. Speaking of her, I wonder how's she's doing. With her violin I mean.

She needs to make sure her violin is always checked and maintained.(taking out

phone and started text messaging)

Back at Kahoko's house, Kahoko was busy practicing her violin when her handphone rang.

Kahoko:(stopped playing) Hey, I got a message. (taking her handphone) It's from...Len.

Meet me at the train station at am tomorrow. Don't be late. Bring your violin along.

Kahoko: I wonder what he wants.

Author: I'm done for now. Hope you enjoy it. Please review.
