Chapter 2 : " It's hard being alone. "

The gates opened in front of me, And soon after that. My ' Great Parents ' left me here. I Carried my backpack towards the entrance, Suddenly a man wearing a strange suit was infront of me.

" Good Evening, Watashi wa ' Shining Saotome ' "

He did some weird dance, Strange. I watch as the man, " Shining Saotome." Slowly stop from the awkward dancing he was doing

I am the headmaster of this beautiful school, Welcome to my school! Ja-ne

Then he disappeared in mid air. Ok, That was entertaining in a freaky way. I notice that there was a paper on my hand,Strange. I don't remember holding a piece of paper. Once I open it, I see a map of the school. There below there was note written, " Do not be afraid to approach me if you want to talk to me " Then there was a goofy smiley inserted in the end.

What does that mean? I shrug off the strange feeling that I'm gonna need this note when time comes..., I follow the map. Literally This school's structure is amazing. It's beautiful here.

After some time I reach my room. I knock, But I quickly notice that the door is unlocked. Once I step was just one bed and all my stuff in boxes with different sizes.

I'm alone once again..., I drop my bag unto the floor. I see my uniform neatly folded on my bed, I look once again on the boxes infront of me. I'll just unpack them tomorrow. I should rest now or else I might get sick.

I placed my uniform unto my study table. I realize that all this time I was wearing my hospital

robe, Ok that was humiliating. I should bathe.

I placed my shampoo,soap,towels,toothbrush,tooth pace in my bathroom, I took a quick shower and after that I brushed my teeth. I changed into my pajamas which I took out of a random box.

I stepped out of the bathroom. I looked at the organ at the side of the room. The organ was beside the door which leads to the balcony. ' Organ ' It's been years since I've last played it.

I lifted the cover of the organ, I sat on a chair. When I placed my fingers on one of the keys, My hand started to tremble. I can't move my hands.

I standed up, I felt my hands once again. Now I remember, " Music was one of the things I've lost in my life. "

The reason why I can't play is because, " My Music Is Gone... "

I lied down on my bed, I remembered on of the questions I've asked my self awhile ago. I asked my self I I could still bring back the things that I have lost in my life. I started to doubt my answer awhile ago. Maybe there's no hope for me at all, No hope for me to ' Dream On '

I felt the tears fall down. " Why Is It that I always cry? If only Oka-san was here. "

Oka-san..., But now she's gone. And she's somebody I can never bring back at all. I wiped my tears, " It's time for me to sleep. I still have school tomorrow. "

I woke up from the sound of the alarm clock ringing. Sigh. I'm not used to waking up early in the morning. Obviously, I don't actually go to school before.

I brush my hair a little bit. I notice how long my bangs are, My bangs covered my eyes. But hey, I can still see. " I don't really care about my appearance. " I began to wear my uniform.

Wait a second, What about breakfast? I hate being the new student in a new school. What am I gonna do now? What section am I by the way?

Hmm, The map! I looked for the map hastily, Luckily I found it. Thank goodness. I checked thr map.

Oh I see, so that's where I know my section. This is the cafeteria. Ok I got it. I began to leave my dorm.

Ok I've got that credit card thingy for buying. I began to follow the map, While walking in the corridor, I can feel the peircing stares of the students. I pretended that they're not staring at me. I began to ignore them, But I noticed my pace going fast.

Soon I arrived in the cafeteria. And heck, It just got worse. Now they weren't just staring at me. They were talking about me.

" I heard she didn't take the entrance exam. "

" I heard that too. Why is she getting the special treatment, I had to study very hard to get into this school, She's not even pretty. "

My head started to ache, I was getting dizzy. Please stop, I murmured. But continuesly they still talked about me, I felt like I was some little child, A little child with a lost heart.

I began to pale, They're stares. they're voices. It reminded me on how I was so alone every single day of my life...

I began to run, After some time I was out of the cafeteria. My pace slowed down. I was stumbling on every step I took.

Then suddenly I lost my balance, I was waiting for the impact. I was waiting for the pain my body will recieve. But some seconds passed by and still I felt no pain.

I opened my eyes and I saw the face of man. Up Close .He was holding me, No more like. He catched me.

The man had Dark Blue hair which was straight. His eyes had a darker shade, I looked unto his eyes, He was calm.

" Daijoubu desu ka. "

Ha...Hai! The man was taken back on my answer, I felt my cheeks warm up. I controlled the smile that my face was forcing me to make. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. He was very composed.

" No It's alright, Just a reminder. Please watch your step. "

I watch as he left. That guy, He's very polite. I began to blush. Stop blushing Melody, I pinched my face but nonetheless, I continued to blush. Stupid face. Ok what I just said was stupid.

I began to watch my step just as he reminded me, I reached the place where I'll know where my classroom is.

I searched for my name and after awhile. I found my name, Section A.

I began to follow the map towards my classroom. I felt my stomach grumble, Oh I forgot, I did't eat breakfast.

I reached my classroom, Before I went in. I knocked first, The door opened and there was a girl in front of me.

" Oh, Your the new transfer student. But you do know that your late. Call me Ri sensei. "

Wait this girl is a guy? I hid the shock from my face. Umm, Yes I'm the new transfer student. I'm sorry if I'm late. I didn't know where to go.

" No, It's alright. Please come in, You should introduce your self. "

I came in and yes, Their faces had this. " Your-Not-Welcome-Here. " Sigh. I gulped, Watashi wa, Melody Suzuki. Please take care of me.

I knew they weren't paying attention.

" Suzuki san there is a vacant chain near the window. That is your seat till the graduation Audition. "

The seat near the window. I began to walk towards it. I recieved their glares. But i just ingored it. Ri sensei started to talk about our lesson. Suddenly I heard my name.

" Suzuki san,Can you please play the piano for us. "

No way..., I was nervous. Ri sensei approached me and I followed him to the piano. I began to sit on the piano's chair.

There was sheet music in front of me, I knew how to read it but after all the years, I forgot how. When I placed my fingers on one of the keys, My hands started to tremble once again.

My Classmates started to talk about me.

" Don't tell me she doesn't know how to play the piano? "

" She doesn't belong here. "

" She can't even read a score. She so worthless, She can't study here if she's like this. "

My hands didn't stop on trembling.

" Suzuki san, Why are your hands trembling? Are you ok? "

I felt like I was gonna black out. I can't feel my hands. My head aches so much. And I felt so dizzy.

I stood up and ran. I ran away from the class room.

I just kept on running, Then The rain started to pour. I ran faster until I reached my dorm.

I went inside my room and locked the door.

Tears strolled down my face. My music is gone,My Mother Is gone, My Family Is Gone, It's like My Life is also gone...

I remembered all the things they whispered about me..., I was worthless, I'm not pretty, I don't belong here...

Maybe I don't really belong in this world..., " It's hard being alone. "

If only..., If only Oka-san was here.

I looked at the Boxes then something caught my eyes.

I crawled towards it. I found a music box, There it was engraved.

" My Sweet Melody. "

When I took it, A picture fell.

It was Oka-san, She was reaching her hand out. Her face was so radiant.

I remebered that time when I fell to ground when i was still 4 years old.

Flashback..

" Melody My dear come here. "

Ok mommy, I started to run. And I tripped.

Uwahh..Wahh

" Melody My dear, Don't cry. You have to stand up. "

I began to reach out to my mother. Then I standed up.

" See, My sweet Melody. In life, When you fall. You have to stand up. "

End of flashback...

Stand Up..., I have to stand up...

I opened the music box, The tune was the song me and my mother used to sing.

Oka-san, " It's really hard being alone. "

To Be Continued...
