"This wasn't supposed to happen." I frowned as I looked at my parents who sat down on the loveseat while I stood in front of them. Both envelopes and invitation letters lay in front of them on the coffee table. Aniki sat on the recliner chair to my right.

"What do you mean Hoshi?" my Otou-San asked as I sighed.

"Your not suppose to tell me it's my decision. Your suppose to tell me what to do. That's what parents usually do." I explained.

"Then got the Germany." Otou-San suggested.

"But studying music at La Musique Academy could be an awesome experience!" I exclaimed.

"Then go to France." he said.

"But Albert Academy has THE best soccer teams." I countered.

"Then stay in Japan." he said unsurely.

"But this is a great opportunity." I reasoned as Otou-San looked left and right.

"What's that? gorillas are attacking Canada? I'm coming!" he shouted as he scurried over to the kitchen.

"Hoshi, we won't always be there to make decisions for you. You'll be faced with a lot of difficult decisions in life and you should start to face them…whatever you choose we'll support you 100%. Why don't you go to sleep and think over it." my Okaa-San suggested as she handed me the letters while I nodded my head and went upstairs to go to bed.

[A Week Later]

I looked out the window to see a group of 3rd years jogging around the school with pink faces. It was getting into the cold weather of winter for Japan. All the Sport Clubs were canceled but that still didn't stop a few students from practicing on their own time. I sighed as I looked at my uneaten bento box. All my favorites where packed but just looking at them had caused me to lose my appetite and give the bento a sad look.

"Oi." a voice from in front of me said as a pair of chopsticks poked me in the head.

"Owie…" I mumbled as I rubbed the spot where the chopsticks had poked me while looking at Ryoma who sat in front of me while he ate out of his bento.

"You ok?" he asked as I nodded my head. "Sure? You've been out of it all week." he continued as I looked at my bento.

"Ryoma." I stated causing him to let out a 'Hmm?' as he glanced at me. "Would you miss me if I left Japan?" I asked as he looked at me.

"Why do you ask that?" he inquired as I took out the two letters and handed them to him. He took both pieces of paper and quickly skimmed through them. He looked back at me with a look of surprise before handing them back to me. "Which one are you going to?"

"Huh?" I asked as I blinked while he sighed.

"Which school are you going to attend?" he asked as I looked down.

"I don't know yet…what do you think?" I questioned as he shook his head.

"It's not my decision." he said as I pouted.

"Do you think I should even go?"

"That's up to you. But just listen to this. No matter what you choose no one will hate your decision. It's your life." he stated simply as I leaned back in my chair and looked up at the ceiling.

"My decision." I repeated as I closed my eyes before sighing and letting my head fall on my desk with a 'thud'. "This is too hard." I mumbled as I looked back up at Ryoma. "You didn't answer my question."

"Hmm? What question?" he asked obviously confused.

"Would you miss me if I left Japan?" I inquired as he looked me straight in the eye.

Before he could answer the bell rang signaling the end of lunch and beginning of 6th period. Ryoma and I packed up our stuff before leaving the classroom to go to our next class.

[Three Days Later]

"Okay. Music is my escape from the world. Soccer gives me the adrenaline I love when I play sports and it's sorta the only sport I can play." I said as I wrote down the Pros and Cons of going to La Musique or Albert. "I can already speak French. I'll have to learn German. I heard Éclair goes to La Musique Academy. I also heard that the training at Albert's is really hard and intense. Music comes easy to me…but so does soccer…compared to everyone else in the Regular Team I'm probably their…3rd best player…maybe 4th. I'm really talented in music…" I trailed as I looked at the sheet of paper.

I sighed before looking around my room. I spotted my violin case leaning against the wall near my closet door. I got up off my bed and walked over to the violin case and opened it to reveal my violin that laid in the case with it's bow resting right next to it. I took out the violin and bow and sat on my bed as I got into position to play the violin. I moved the bow across the violin strings to produce a melodious and beautiful lullaby that I had remembered my Obaa-San would hum to me as a child whenever I was sad. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath as I glanced at my cleats and shins that I had tossed to the corner of my room near my lucky soccer ball filled with autographs that rested on my desk that had a few soccer trophies and medals I had won while playing soccer. I looked at the photograph of me and the Girl's Soccer Regular Team next to the picture of me and my friends from my violin classes. I stopped playing the violin and placed it down on my bed as walked over to both picture frames. I was happy in both pictures…but which one was I the happiest? This was hard to tell. In the picture with the Regular Team we where all smiling as we huddled around each other, frosting and sprinkles where all over our face, hair and shirt from the cupcake fight we had just before the picture was taken. In the other one was a picture of me and my music friends dancing to some crazy music that had blared through the stereo. We where all dancing weirdly and just goofing around. We where all smiling and some where on the floor laughing at how one of the girls was dancing like a monkey. I smiled at both pictures as I sighed and looked out my window. It was night time and you could see all the stars shinning brightly in the sky. This got me thinking about the future and what would happen, the best and the worse, if I chose to go to Germany or France or maybe just stayed in Japan. Staying was always an option but…this'll probably never happen again. So I closed my eyes and thought. Soon enough I fell asleep in all my thinking. A few hours later I slowly opened my eyes.

"I know what I'm going to do." I mumbled to myself as I exited my room and headed towards the phone.

Once I picked up the phone I dialed in a number and waited as the phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi. You have reached Albert Academy. How may I help you?" a voice rang throughout the phone in Japanese.

"Uh…hi I'm Tezuka Hoshi. Sorry for calling so late." I apologized timidly into the phone as I twirled the phone cord with my finger.

"Ah it's fine. We have waited to hear from you. What is your answer?" the male voice asked in anticipation.

"I…I'm sorry but I don't want to attend Albert Academy." I declined hesitantly in the phone as I glanced at my feet.

"Oh it's fine Tezuka-San. Arigato for taking the time to think about attending our school. Good-bye." the male.

"Bye." I mumbled as I placed the phone back in the receiver before picking it up again and dialing another number.

"Moshi Moshi. You have reached La Musique Academy. How may we assist you?" a female voice asked in Japanese.

"This is Tezuka Hoshi. I would like to accept the invitation to attend La Musique Academy." I answered confidently through the phone.

"Wonderful! We shall get everything settled for your arrival. We would like it if you could make it over after Christmas since a new semester will begin at that time. Is that ok?" the lady inquired as I nodded my head before realizing that she couldn't see me.

"It's okay." I answered simply.

"We are very pleased to be hearing that you'll be joining us. Have a nice night." she said.

"You too." I replied as I heard a dial tone while I hung up the phone while looking at my toes.

"You ok Hoshi?" my Okaa-San asked from behind as I nodded my head.

"They want me to leave after Christmas." I answered as I faced my Okaa-San.

"I'm proud of you Hoshi. You made this decision on you own. Now let's get some hot chocolate." she suggested as she walked downstairs with me in tow.

Only one thing ran through my mind and it irked me a bit.

How am I going to tell Ryoma?


Yeah. Well Hoshi is too sad so I decided to be nice to her and not let a tennis ball hit her or for her to get into a tennis related mini accident. Also I've been evil and moved her away. So...yeah. Here where the results for you curious people.

MUSIC: 20

SOCCER: 10

From the websites FanFiction and Quizilla. So that I means I love 30 of the readers of this story! And those who commented on how they didn't want Hoshi to move instead of telling me whether she was to go to Germany or France. Anyway…few more chapters…like maybe 2 or 3 more before I'm going to start on the sequel.
