3.- Chest pain

The moment Kumiko's head touched her pillow; the auburn haired girl fell asleep almost immediately. The euphonium player was very exhausted due to all the things that happened today.

Between the competition, where they did perform well but it wasn't enough to win, and Reina's double confession to their teacher, the auburn haired player was feeling more pain than she had originally expected.

The trumpeter's confession in the auditorium hit Kumiko like a ton of bricks. She knew that Reina liked her sensei but from a simple crush to actually confess twice, according to Asuka-senpai, was way more devastating than the auburn haired girl thought it would be.

The pain was so overwhelming that the auburn haired player kept quiet for the entire bus ride back to their school. What actually caught Kumiko off guard, was Reina's rude reaction towards Asuka-senpai's invitation before heading home.

Recently, the trumpeter had been reacting harshly whenever Kumiko talked about their senpai and the auburn haired girl assumed that Reina just disliked the third year brunette. But deep inside, the entire situation disturbed her.

Kumiko frowned in her sleep when the first rays of light were coming through her window and, minutes later her alarm went off waking her. Golden orbs opened annoyed when she checked the date on her phone.

Why did I put the alarm this early on a Sunday? It's not like I have something to do anyways, Kumiko turned over and covered her head with her quilt and continued sleeping for a couple of hours.

She heard the sound of a ringing phone in the distance. The auburn haired player groaned before answering her phone without looking.

"Yeah?" the auburn haired player mumbled while stifling a yawn.

"Oumae~chan" a cheerful voice resonated on the other side of the line.

"Asuka-senpai?" a surprised Kumiko almost drops her phone "Wha…".

"Can you come to the spot close to your house where you enjoy practicing your eupho?" the third year giggled before continuing "I want to show you something"

"How do you know…" Kumiko tilted her head confused.

"That's simple" the older girl chuckled "I just asked Asuza-chan"

No wonder…

"See you there in an hour, see ya" Asuka immediately hung up and Kumiko sighed, she didn't have time to say no so now she had to go.

What would Asuka-senpai want to show me? Couldn't it wait until Monday? It's just one more day, after all, thought a now curious Kumiko before getting out of her room towards the bathroom. The auburn haired girl took a shower and went back to her room to change clothes before heading to the kitchen to grab something to eat.

While making something quick to eat, Kumiko's phone screen lit several times but it wasn't until half an hour later that she checked it because she had left it in her room. As soon as she saw the LED light blinking, the auburn haired girl sat on her bed and checked her phone, there were four missed calls and two messages from Reina.

'Are you busy?'

'Can we talk?'

Kumiko sighed loudly before looking up. The auburn haired player didn't feel like talking to the trumpeter. It was still painful for Kumiko to think about her because the brunette soloist was in love with someone else and that meant that even if she confessed her feelings, her heart would be crushed even more.

Maybe Asuka-senpai's idea wouldn't be so bad, after all…

Checking her phone one more time, Kumiko realized that if she didn't leave her place soon, she would be late and the auburn haired girl wouldn't hear the end of it from her senpai. After putting her shoes on, Kumiko left towards the place her senpai was waiting for her.

After a short walk, Kumiko sat by the river. She took a small rock and threw it to the water, as soon as it got in contact with the surface, little waves started appearing. Kumiko thought about her feelings and sighed.

"By the way you sigh" a voice commented from behind the auburn haired girl "you sound like a maiden in love"

"I don't know…" Kumiko tried to compose herself.

"What I'm talking about, yeah sure" Asuka added before taking a seat next to the younger girl who rolled her eyes.

"I brought you here to give you this" the third year handed Kumiko an old music notebook "open it" the auburn haired girl obeyed and she was surprised to find that the notebook was half empty. On the written parts of the sheets, were difficult parts of famous compositions with side notes explaining the best way to play them.

"Talent is not everything Oumae-chan" Asuka took her silver euphonium and played some notes looking at the river "you do need to work hard to become better"

"Thank you I will treasure it, senpai" Kumiko gave the brunette a sincere smile.

"Don't treasure it" Asuka pulled some auburn tresses before continuing "use it to become as special as you want to be"

"I will"

"That sounds too distant" Asuka pouted "how about you try at least one part? I even brought my euphonium so you could practice" the brunette took the notebook and opened it in one of her favorite songs.

Kumiko took the euphonium and played the part following the suggestions, it took her a little while to get used to it but after five minutes she was able to sound as good as her senpai.

"Oh little Oumae-chan is having fun while indirectly making out with me" Asuka chuckled and Kumiko sighed annoyed.

What they didn't see was the person standing a few meters away from them and staring at the entire interaction with wide eyes. Kousaka Reina lived nearby and was coming back from the convenience store where her mother had sent her to buy some products she was missing to cook dinner.

After calling Kumiko several times, a slightly gloomy Reina pocketed her phone and decided to head home when the familiar sound of a euphonium caught her attention. Hoping to listen to Kumiko playing the euphonium, the trumpeter rushed her steps to see if her assumption was correct. It was indeed, but she was not ready to see Kumiko interacting with such closeness with Asuka. Her chest started hurting once more and Reina clenched her right fist in frustration.

Kumiko is keeping her distance from me and getting closer to Asuka-senpai. She didn't even answer my messages or calls.

Reina took her phone and sent a message to Kumiko. The auburn haired girl stopped playing and took the gadget with one hand and read the message before placing the phone back in her pocket without replying the trumpeter.

Why doesn't she reply my texts?

Reina's frown intensified when Asuka hugged Kumiko. The trumpeter decided to leave and started walking again.

Did I do something wrong?

Did I offend her in some way?

And most importantly, why I feel like crying after what I just witnessed?
