I smiled ligtly as I pressed the piano keys slowly. It feels good to play once in a while. I started humming the words to the song I was playing and got kind of lost in time. I got my fingers off the piano and turned around to the clock.

„Oh, I should do my homework." I told to myself quietly and stood up. Well, it's been a week and I'm already feeling a lot better so it's about time.

„Zu-Zu-nee!"

„Stop shouting, will you?" I warned my little sister.

„Guess who's gonna come over in two weeks?" she said with sparkling eyes.

„Who?"

„Katsu-nii!"

„REALLY!?" now I was the one with sparkling eyes.

Well, I haven't seen my brother for almost half a year so I was really happy. And by the looks of it, my sister was really happy too. It's gonna be nice...

„Soyokaze-san!"

„Oh, Kimura. Good morning." I smiled.

„Morning. You're okay already?"

„Yes. Even though I wouldn't mind staying home for another week."

„Really? I couldn't stand that. I would get bored fast." she run a hand through her short black hair.

„How could I get bored with my anime, manga, food and tea while lying in bed for a whole day?"

Kimura started laughing and I joined her in a matter of seconds.

„What's all this about?" Kisara suddenly appeared followed by Minami.

„Oh, Soyokaze-san you're back!" Minami threw herself at me.

„When will you actually start calling me by my first name?" I exclaimed.

„Then you need to call me by my first name too!" Kimura shouted.

„Me too!" Minami threw her hands in the air.

„Mornin' Kimura." all of us turned around to the person - it was Fumihiko Hana.

„Morning Hana." Kimu- I mean Asuka answered.

„Oh, there's our class Shizuka. See you!" Kisara pulled me towards the said room and waved to the girls.

„See you at the school gate!" Minami ... wait ... I mean Chiharu waved back to us.

I walked slowly through the halls of Seirin High going to the practice. I missed it so much. As I opened the door all the familiar faces turned to me.

„Yo, Soyokaze." Kagami greeted me.

„Hi Kagami-kun."

I placed my bag on the bench next to the wall and took a deep breath. Let's do this.

„Soyokaze-san! Will you help me?" Aida shouted a tme.

„Sure!"

„Shizuka, you're late." Chiharu growled.

„Sorry, we were talking about Interhigh." I muttered as we started walking home.

„It's gonna be Interhigh already?"

„Yeah. My brother is talking about it all the time." Asuka rolled her eyes.

„Your brother is playing basketball? Which school is he attending?" Chiharu turned to her.

„Shutoku."

„Isn't Midorima Shintaro from Generation of Miracles there too?" Fumihiko suddenly appeared.

„Yes. Why?"

„Do you like him?" Kisara said with a smirk.

„What? No." she grunted.

„Do you have somebody you like Hana-chan?" Asuka asked.

„What the hell? Where did that come from?" she shouted, „ And even if I had I wouldn't tell you!"

„What? Why?" Asuka tried to act dramatically but ended up laughing.

„What about you Shizuka? Do you have someone you like?" Kisara asked and everybody stopped talking and looked a tme.

„Why me all of a sudden?" I bursted „And stop looking at me like that!"
