Chapter 4: " A question I cannot answer. "

I went back to my dorm, err..., Room. I remebered the things I need to do for this night. I need to cut my bangs.

Walking towards the mirror. A scissor gripped tightly by my right hand. Hmm, I don't know how to cut my bangs, If I do it. I'm afraid I might get my hair messed up

Never mind the unknown consequence. I cutted the bangs in what ever way I can. After cutting my over-grown bangs. I noticed how much my eye sight changed. I can see clearer, Other than that. There was no longer any hair that bugged my eyes.

Hmm, Wait. I had Blue green eyes? Since whe-

Oh I remember, " I don't normally look at my face. "

I stared at my face. Strange, I look more ugly. Hmm, must be puberty, Puberty is increasing my ugly appearance.

I wonder, How am I supposed to face them tomorrow after my sudden outburst?

Standing up, I began to clean myself in the bathroom.

After changing into my pajamas, I hear the sound of a dying whale. Did that just come from my stomach?

Wait, Since morning up until now. I haven't eaten anything. I began to get my card and I hastily walked outside.

I'm starving. I reach the cafeteria. There were less people, , I walked towards the

Counter and I ordered food.

I asked them to take it out for me, And so. I walked towards my room. When I reached the entrance The headmaster was already blocking the doors.

" We need to talk, Suzuki Melody. "

Ok...

I was in the headmaster's office right now. And honestly It's freaking me out. What did I do wrong?

" Tell me, Who is your mother. I know from the fact that the woman your father was with is just you step mother. "

Hiding my face, I answered straightly. " Hikari, Hikari Hana Suzuki. " Why do you ask?

" I knew it. I know that you've been through a lot. But I don't know what you've experienced. Tell me the truth. I took you in into this academy with out you taking the exam is because I know your a prodigy. I know the talents your hiding. Tell me, Why do you hide it. "

I'm sorry, Saotome-san. " That's a question I cannot answer. " for now.

" For now? "

Yes, for now. Perhaps in the near future.

" I can see that the things you have experienced in the past, Are things that you cannot forget. "

Your correct. For any human being, This experience is something that no one can never forget, I'm quite taken a back by your sudden attitude. Our conversation is way too serious. Headmaster san.

" Suzuki Melody. I'll be prepared when the time comes, Oh by the way. Your mother is still alive. She's a close friend of mines. And you know what, She's actually in fact. A legendary acclaimed idol. "

My mother is alive..., The smile present in my face.I tried to hide my tears, ans succesfully I did. This is a smile for my mother, I feel more determined now to achieve my goal, I'll keep my promise. " Oka San "

" Suzuki, If you work hard. You might earn a debut. If you earn a debut. You may be able to take the Master course. Once your a famous idol, You might be one step closer to your mother. You might even earn a deal with me. That is if you work hard. "

Master course, So that's what it means. I'll earn my debut. Saotome san, I promise you.

" I look forward to that, ' My question. ' Don't forget to answer it when the time comes. "

Yes, Rest for now, " That's a question I cannot answer. "

Well then, I'll take my leave. ' Headmaster-san. " I walk outside the office and head to my room.

" That determination will create the new star in the vast sky. Suzuki Melody. Will you shine the brightest? "

I was currently walking towards the cafeteria. Good thing I woke up early in the morning. The students, As usual. Were talking about me, and a new addition. Now they were glaring at me. And some were a little bit shocked

" Hey I heard she ran away from her class. "

" She's so pathetic. "

" Look she got her bangs cut. "

I ignored them all and made way towards the counter. After I got my breakfast, I sat in a nearby seat.

While eating, I over hear about a certain band named " Starish " Well the band is not familiar with me.

I continue eating and afterwards, I walk towards our classroom. Coincidently, I bump into our homeroom teacher. Ringo sensei. I took my time to apologize from yesterday's outburst. But I do notice his long stare. shoving that aside, I start to apologize.

" Sensei, Gomenasai. "

" Suzuki-san, It's alright..., The headmaster told me that. You have. complications in your life. "

Ri sensei gave me a warm smile. He understood me, They both understand me, We. Ri sensei and me walked together towards the classroom. Finally, somebody who understands me despite my ' complications. '

I took my seat, My classmates giving me a glare and a stare.

" Alright everybody. May I see the hands of those who are taking the idol course. "

I raised my hand.

" And for those taking the composer course. "

I also raise my hand.

" That suzuki girl, She can't have both courses. That's absurd. Hey remember. She ran out yesterday becuase she can't play the piano. Also isn't is prohibited to have 2 courses? "

" Suzuki san, You are taking both courses? Ri sensei asked. "

Yes. Ri sensei.

" So Suzuki san, You compose and you sing? "

I hid my face, And once again. I answered straightly. " Sort of. " Probably now they're whispering about me.

" Your the first one here in the academy who has taken both courses. This is pretty rare indeed. "

" What? Both courses!? "

" Suzuki san. Would you please play for us. Any song would do, I want to see you try again. "

I stand up, Everybody was shocked. I sat on the piano's stool. " I'll do my best. "

Ri sensei was beside me. I placed my fingers on top of the keys. And I started to play the song my mother and I used to sing. I enjoyed playing the song, It overwhelms my body and soul. A feeling I've never experienced after 10 years. The sensation ran through my whole body up until my toes.

My pace slows down, And soon. The song was over, Every body had this This-Is-Not-Happening face, well except for Ri sensei.

" That song was beautiful Suzuki chan. "

Ri sensei added an endearment to my name, well I don't really mind The sudden changes. I took my time to thank sensei. " Arigatou, Sensei. "

Class ended fast, And we were given assignments to write a song that best describes ourselves.

Soon it was already afternoon. I was making my way back to my room when I saw a injured bird.

I approached the little bird. " Oh you poor thing. " I carried the bird in my hands, I might as well take care of it.

I reach my dorm quickly. I began to treat the birds wounds. For the mean time, You'll stay with me until you get better.

Then the bird whistled a beautiful tune. The tune was entrancing. which I thought was the best tune for my song. I took the time to write the music notes of the tune. I have a tune now. All that's left are lyrics.

" Arigatou, Little birdie. "

The bird chirped back. I wrote lyrics on my new song. Then the thought about ' Starish ' popped into my head.

I wonder, What kind of group is " Starish ? "
