Because of all the wonderful reviews~ I'll be continuing this story! Thanks so much! *bows*

Now, just to note, I'll be using "HTT" instead of K-ON from now on, and the Old man/Angel took care of Ryu's admissions to the school. ;b Enjoy!

Mio POV

"It's not your fault, Mio. It's okay…I'm sure your friend wouldn't want you to be like this. So…please".

….those words…they made me feel so relieved. Even though he didn't know much about Ritsu…It almost felt like something that Ritsu would say.

His arms that enveloped me, and his calming scent just made the storm in my heart calm down…so easily.

The next thing I knew, I woke up to the voice of my mother.

"Mio. Wake up. If you sleep any longer, you'll miss school"

My eyes felt heavy, but I manage to open them to the bright light that was shining from my bedroom window. "nnn…mamma." I sit up with her assistance and rub my weary eyes.

"Morning, honey. Now get dressed and wash up. You're going to miss school!"

I nod and obediently get out of bed, put on my uniform, brushed my teeth and headed down the stairs for breakfast. But while I was eating, I noticed that my parents kept staring at me.

"uh…what is it? Is there something on my face?" *sweat drop*

"Mio-chan" my mamma was the first to speak, "do you remember anything from yesterday?"

"huh? Yesterday?" I begin to think back and had a flash back of being with Ryu and…"oh! Come to think of it! How in the world did I get back home?"

Papa explains that a 'Boy' claiming to be my 'friend' carried me home, and that he says that he knew where I lived from asking a neighbor.

*Blush* oh no! How embarrassing! First I fall into the arms of a guy I barely know, and then he "carries" me home? What if someone saw us?

"Ah, Mio. Although I'd like to talk about this more, you're going to be late for school!"

I Pick up my School bag and head out the door.

On the way there, I began to think more and more about Ryu. Just thinking about him made the cold winter breeze seem warmer. He was so much like Ritsu, and it felt nice to be around him. But does this mean that I'm just using him as Ritsu's replacement? I also feel like I'm betraying Ritsu's friendship now…I don't know what to think now…

Just then, a familiar voice calls out to me.

" Mio~" It was Ryu.

He was wearing our high school uniform for guys, and was carrying his bag over his shoulder…just like how Risu would.

Normal POV

"Yo, Mio! Morning!" Ryu gives a bright grin.

"Morning, Ryu. Are you excited about your first day at school?"

"huh? Oh! Yeah! My first day, right! Yeah! Of course I am!"

"….um…about yesterday…" a pink hue colors Mio's face.

"oh um…yeah. You kinda fell asleep on me there. Tired much? Ha ha ha~"

"Sorry."

"It's fine, it's fine. At least you let me go home when I dropped you off."

"what?"

"Ha ha ha. Looks like you don't remember, but once I got to your house and you parents helped me get off your back, you wouldn't let go of my Jacket! I didn't know you liked me so much, Mio~"

"I what?" Mio's face was redder than a stop light and steam began to come off her head.

"Ah~ Careful Mio, don't pass out on me. I might have to carry you again~" Ryu says in a teasing tone.

"Ah! Urusai!" Mio's fist makes contact with Ryu's shoulder.

"Ow~ that hurt, Miss Dangerous Queen!"

Mio freezes and her eyes wide open.

"W-what did you call me?"

"….uhh…."Shoot! My tongue slipped!

Briiiiing!

"Ah! The bell rang! Come on, Mio! We're going to be late!" S-Saved by the bell! Phew!

Ryu grabs onto Mio's wrist and begins dragging the poor bassist behind him.

"Ch-Choto! You're hurting my wrist!"

The two barely make it to class on time and Ryu is assigned in the same class as Mio. (XD of course.)

"Now, class. We have a new student with us here today. His name is Ryu…." The teacher looks at the registration and sees that there was no last name. His eyes narrows in on Ryu, puzzled.

"It's just "Ryu"…I don't have a last name…It's a long story." Ryu explains, giving a nervous smile.

"Uh…If that's the case…I guess it's okay since there are no other 'Ryus' in the school. Um…anyway, please have a seat in any vacant desks."

"Ryu-chan! Ryu-chan! Sit in my row!" Yui calls out, standing up and waving her hands towards an empty seat in her row. Everyone stares at the bubbly high schooler.

*sweat drops*

"Ha ha ha….Hi, Yui…um. Let's see…" Ryu looks around and sees that his 'old desk' was empty and takes a seat. The other students begin to whisper amongst themselves.

"hey, doesn't he look a lot like Ritsu?"

"yeah. And now he's sitting in her seat!"

"He's kinda hot!"

"I wonder how Mio-chan's going to react."

Ryu ignores these comments and just goes through the class period quietly…knowing that a certain raven haired girl was looking at him from behind.

'Uh…I hope that I didn't upset Mio bv sitting in my old seat.' *sweat drop*

Mio just sat there with one hand writing on the paper, and the other under her chin. Her eyes glancing up once in a while, to watch the back of someone that was so much like her best friend.

"….They're too similar…." Mio frowns and resumes taking notes in her notebook.

Apologizes if this chapter was sort of a letdown 'cause nothing much happened, but bear with me and I promise that there'll be more stuff in the next chapter! Please look forward to it and R&R! *Bows*
