Miracle 8: Paths to Follow

"I guess I need to try and see what happens."

"I won't be able to get anything if I just stand around and do nothing."

"I have to ask K-I and see if I could join their group."

"If only, I had more confidence in my dancing skills. I wouldn't be feeling this way at all."

After I thought about my words. I sighed in defeat

"I can't do it." I couldn't really handle the fact that I lack confidence in being able to ask the idol group K-I.

After my classes, I walked out of the classroom. I soon passed by the student council door where the dropbox of K-I is. It's beside the door on top of a student desk. I bet they only had just now in order to put up the dropbox that's why it's on top of the student's desk and it looked a little... unprofessional.

I struggled to even look at the dropbox. Why does it look so intimidating?

I couldn't handle it. I left the hallway that I clearly forgot that I haven't registered myself in a club yet.

"Maybe I should not even try to think about joining them at all."

I wondered around since my mind has been on that dropbox of K-I.

I went up to the rooftop of my school in order to dance. I've danced to my favorite songs both international and local. With this and this alone, I've gotten an aptitude for dancing since I was younger. But I felt dancing is boring and pressuring if I dance for a crowd. I've never liked to show-off because I've put down most of my dance partners even though I didn't mean to.

I'm sweating bullets from my intense dancing session.

I took my rest on the rooftop as I laid my head on my schoolbag and rest under the shade of the wall blocking the blinding and searing sun.

"Maybe. Just maybe, I should try building up my confidence first."

Even after the indication of the end classes sounded by the school bell. The light brown, short curly silver haired girl once again walked to the same music room she went to yesterday. When she entered, the room's sunset scenery blended well with the long wavy red haired, pale skinned girl who's fixated gaze on the piano was interrupted as she entered music room. "Nice to meet you, Miura-san."

"Nice to meet you too, Aoki-san" Lucine bowed to her as she walked towards the podium in the music room as she took deep breathes and exercises her voice.

The two did their exercises before they began their practice together.

After a moment of silence,

Miura Lucine started to sing with a high pitched opera voice that many would claim is the voice of a goddess. Her voice echoes with a serene and calming sound that many would feel better after hearing her sing.

Aoki Kotone started to play the piano after she heard the serene voice of Lucine. Her skills in the piano synchronized with Lucine's voice making the entire music room a sanctuary of music.

Notes after notes

Voices after voices

It was sanctuary of euphoria where music is the sole reason of existence in this now transformed music room.

It was definitely another day to remember for these two girls who are musically gifted as they never met someone their age who has the same level of talent as they do.

After their splendid performance together, they stopped to take a take a rest.

"You're really talented Miura-san." Kotone complimented to resting Lucine.

"Thank you. You're talented too Aoki-san" Lucine began to play with her thumbs nervously. "Um... Aoki-san?" Kotone perked up to look at the silver haired girl curiously. "Yes Miura-san?"

Lucine looked at her thumbs as she played around with it very nervously. "Can I call you by your given name?"

Kotone's eyes blinked for just a moment, slightly shocked that someone she just met twice is finally asking for her to use her given name. The red haired maiden smiled at the nervous silver haired maiden.

"Sure, call me Kotone. In exchange, I'll call you Lucine-chan, got it?" She said with a slightly boastful tone.

Happily overwhelmed, Lucine jumped with joy and happily flailing her arms around.

"You seem to be very happy, is it your first time being called by your given name?"

"Yes. My family only addresses me through my given name but... this is the first time the first friend I ever made is going to call me by given name!"

Slightly flustered, based from what Kotone heard, since this is the first time anyone is really happy about being friends with her. She rubbed the back of her head and chuckled a bit "Ok, we're officially friends now alright?"

"Yup!" Lucine nodded very happily as things went well for the new duo.

Meanwhile, Aika left the school since it classes have ended today. She walked to the arcade immediately in order to play her favorite dancing games.

"No one is around. I have this all to myself!" Aika began to play the dance game in front of her. As she dance the song that she had chosen, the song began to play an upbeat and fast tempo. Her eyes were closed and as soon as she heard the electric guitar she began to dance accordingly to the dance illustrations on the screen.

"I'll gain much more confidence. I'll definitely do it!"
