Again, thank you to those who reviewed. I don't know why, but I find myself ready to update after two days or so… Hmm… I'm sure that this update rate will decrease since classes will start to get serious again…-sigh- Well, here's chapter 3, enjoy!

Slender fingers glided over ebony and ivory keys. Music filled the air and the wind blew softly letting stray petals dance around the young pianist. She played the music from a separate sheet music, one that cannot simply be read, understood, and played, but one that must be felt. It was the sheet music within her heart.
"May."
The girl ignored the voice as she continued to play her heart out.
"May."
Once again, it was ignored.
"MAY! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"
Sapphire eyes snapped open in alarm. Her hands reached for her bedside clock in alarm.
"NO!" she screeched, seeing the time. She jumped out of bed and ran into her bathroom, just barely avoiding tripping.
Max, her younger brother, just sighed and shook his head.
The scene faded and it was replaced by one of their kitchen. May came in with her schoolbag in hand. She was wearing the LaRousse Academy uniform.
"Hey April, what are you doing here?" asked May, seeing April clad in the same uniform while sipping some tea.
"Oh, I thought that you'd need someone to show you the easy route to school," she replied. May sat down at the table and started on a plate of pancakes.
"May dear, please hurry up or you'll be late," ordered Caroline, their mother.
"Ok mom," replied May before she drank a glass of orange juice and stood up.
"Let's go," she added.
April got up and smiled at Caroline and Norman. "Bye."
"Bye mom, bye dad."
Those were May's words before she dashed out the door, April chuckling to herself at her heels.
Then, the scene hazed up, then cleared up showing a marvelous flagstone institution where there were already quite a number of students.
"HELLO!" boomed a voice from behind them. May jumped in surprise while April whirled around. There, standing behind them was a junior with purple hair holding two cacti.
"Uhm…can we help you?" asked May.
"Hi dears, I'm Harley, part of the school's welcoming committee! Please accept a cactus each!" he exclaimed.
"Uhm…sorry but I'm not a big fan of cacti…" said May.
"Neither am I," said April. And with that, the two friends made their way to the bulletin board near the office to check their room assignments.
"Aw man, looks like I'll have to check back with you at lunch," stated April glumly.
"That's too bad…" May added also glum.
"Hey look! Jun's here?" exclaimed May confused, pointing at the name JUN KNIGHTLY a few names down from April's. April squinted.
"No way!" she exclaimed. Then, someone covered her eyes.
"Yes way," Jun was grinning from ear to ear, hyperbolically speaking of course. April took hold of his wrists and removed his hands from her eyes.
"Cool…" but then April sighed.
"Such a shame though," she added as an afterthought. Then, the warning bell rang signaling the students to get to class.
"See you at lunch," said May. April and Jun nodded.
"Let's meet here," May and Jun nodded in agreement. And with that, the three went to their respective classes.
The scene blurred slightly and cleared up at class 102. April and Jun walked in cautiously. It was just like any other class, jocks laughing boisterously, preps giggling flirtatiously, nerds studying frantically, and so on and so forth. The two friends headed towards the back but before they could get there, a cheerleader bumped into April.
"Oh, sorry," April mumbled. The cheerleader glared.
"Watch it."
April looked at Jun who just shrugged. They both managed to slip into seats at the back row.
"I hope May's better off. By the looks of our class, this is going to be one long school year," commented Jun. April nodded, propping her head up with her right arm, looking outside. Jun just shook his head and sighed.
It all blurred again and cleared up at room 105 where May was at. May went in, just barely avoiding a paper airplane.
"Oops, sorry."
The class was in too much of a commotion for May to figure out who apologized so she shrugged it off and sat at an open seat in the middle row, next to the window.
May barely noticed the green haired boy sitting beside her until some klutz fell over, knocking the boy's chair making him fall.
"Hey! Watch it," the green haired boy said, getting up while dusting himself off. He was just ignored though, the noise drowning his voice out. May giggled, finding the sight hilarious.
And that's how the day began.

Meaning behind the chapter title:
Accelerando – adverb. Gradually increasing in speed.
~Chapter three is entitled as such since things are starting to pick up.
P.S. ~ I do hope this chapter improved and there's a link to a picture of their uniform on my profile.
