CHAPTER 4

"Satoshi! Wake up!"

"Uhh-wha?"

Satoshi tried to open his heavy eyes, and stretched his body. Ritsu sighed and pulled him from the bed, before his sleep again.

"What are you doing, neechan? Lemme take a nap!" Satoshi tried to release Ritsu's hand grip.

"Take a nap? Are you crazy? Take a look on the clock, Satoshi!" shouted Ritsu.

Satoshi saw the clock. It's 8.00 am… Wait… 8?

Satoshi ran out from his bedroom suddenly. He went to bathroom, took a bath quickly, wore his uniform and went to downstairs. His parents were waiting him; the dinner table was filled with many foods on it. Satoshi took a sliced of bread and spread strawberry jam on it. He ate quickly and drank a bottle of milk beside his plate, before he took his bag and ran out from his house. Ritsu followed him, she ran out from Tainaka's house.

"I'm off!"

~..~

"Ah, Satoshi-kun!" shouted Kouji.

Satoshi came to his class. His face was horrible, because he ran to this school quickly, and he didn't take a break yet. His breath was mess. Satoshi put his bag under the table, and put his head on his table. Kouji came to his table and sat beside him.

"Whoa, you almost late this morning. What happened to you? Your face is horrible,"

Satoshi sighed, still with his head on the table, "I almost late, so I ran quickly to this school…"

After said that, a teacher came to the class. Kouji sat on his chair quickly, but Satoshi still put his head on table. The teacher stood up and after a few minutes, she picked a list of student's name. One by one student came to in front of the class and introduced themselves. And now was Satoshi's turn. He came to in front of the class, and said, "My name is Satoshi Tainaka, nice to meet you,". Then, when he was back to his seat, his feet were slipped and he fell down. All of students were laughing him, Azusa just smiled, actually she wanted to laugh, but she kept it. Ui was worried about his head, though it was hitting the floor. Satoshi woke up quickly and sat on his seat. He was very very embarrassed and felt little sick about his forehead. Kouji looked at him and he was shocked. Kouji pointed his forehead. Satoshi was little confused, and he rubbed his forehead. When he pulled his hand, there were bloods in his hand. He felt a liquid fell down from his forehead and came to his nose. The teacher was panicked and brought him to infirmary.

~..~

"Are you alright, Satoshi-kun?"

"Uh…"

Satoshi woke up, he was in infirmary, his head was bandaged, and he was in a bed. Beside him, there were Ritsu and Mio. They were worried about him, so they came.

"Neechan…" Satoshi tried to stand up, but Ritsu stopped him.

"Hey, hey! Don't forced yourself! Stay in the bed!" said Ritsu.

Satoshi nodded, he was still on the bed. Mio checked the wounds. Her face was close to Satoshi's face, and make Satoshi's heart thumped faster.

"Aw,"

"Ah, sorry. Is it still hurt?" asked Mio

"Um…yeah, a bit,"

"Satoshi, you're careless. How can you tripped in your class?" said Ritsu.

"Sorry…"

"That's not your fault. Ritsu, don't say something like that," Mio turned to Ritsu. Ritsu scowled, ignored Mio.

"Alright, alright. Hey Satoshi, you wanna drink? I'll pick it for you," asked Ritsu.

"Orange juice, please,"

"Okay," Ritsu went out from infirmary.

Mio still sat beside Satoshi, she smiled. Satoshi tried to sleep, but he can't. His heart pounded loudly. How can a boy and a girl being together in this silent room? He was little panicked, but a soft sound shocked him.

"Are you okay, Satoshi? You're looks weird…"

"N-no, Mio-san. I'm fine…"

"Really? I'm glad to hear that," Mio smiled.

Satoshi's heart started to pound more loudly. Neechan…come here quickly…

"Satoshi?" said Mio

"Yeah?"

"Do you make new friends here?"

"Not yet, because I slipped in the class, hahaha,"

Mio was giggling, and said, "You must find a lot of friend here. School is not only for study, but for searching friends too,"

"You're right…" Satoshi pulled up the blanket until its hide his head. He felt something ridiculous. What is this?

Suddenly, Ritsu opened the door, and shouted loudly, "SATOSHI!"

Mio and Satoshi were shocked, and turned to the door.

"Ritsu? What are you doing?"

"Ahahah, just wanna add some joy in this silent room," Ritsu smiled and gave a can of orange juice to Satoshi.

"Thanks," said Satoshi. He drank it slowly. Actually, he was glad Ritsu came to this room on time, if she not, he don't know what happened to him.

~..~

After a few minutes, Satoshi was alright so he can go out from the infirmary. In front of infirmary, there were Kouji and Takeru waited for Satoshi.

"Satoshi! I'm glad you're okay!" said both of them.

"Thanks," Satoshi smiled.

They went around Sakuragaoka, expediting this school. Although it's a festival to freshmen, they were checking the club. They wanted to join light music club, to form a new boy band together. Satoshi as drummer, Takeru as guitarist, and Kouji as bassist. Now HTT member were made a performance in the hall, so they quickly went to the hall, to see them. The hall was very full, they got seats in behind, luckily Takeru brought a telescope so they can see them very well. HTT started to play Fuwa-fuwa time, the audience became excited. They were amazed, and saw their play seriously. After it finished, HTT went back to backstage. Satoshi and his friends came to backstage, and they met Ui in the way.

"Ah, Hirasawa-san! Are you going to take a look in backstage?" asked Satoshi.

Ui nodded, and they were walking together. HTT member were chatting in backstage and tidied their musical instruments. Ui came to her sister, chatted about their performance. Satoshi walked to Ritsu. Ritsu was drinking a bottle of mineral water, when Satoshi was beside her.

"Uhm, what?" said Ritsu.

"You were great…" Satoshi said slowly.

Ritsu smiled and rubbed his hair, and saw Fujioka and Takeru.

"Huh? Why are you here?

"Well…We want to join light music club…"

All of HTT member were surprised. Ritsu cannot said anything, her bottle fell down. Yui trembled, she was smiled. Mio covered her mouth, Mugi still silent. Azusa was happy, she wanted to cry. Ritsu turned to HTT members, and both of them jumped, and shouted, "YEAH!"
