"kahoko"

why did I have that dream...?

"kahoko'

I thought I already buried those memories in the past.. but why..?

"KAHOKO!"

"ah-!*thud*

"kaho-chan, are you alright?" mio asked me with a worried face.

"Ow... yes, I'm fine." I said while standing up.

"mou, what is wrong with you kaho? you've been staring off to space ever since you arrived at school." Nao, my other best friend, said.

"I-it's nothing... I was just... thinking about something..." I said as a certain group flashed in my mind. I frowned. Why are they still haunting me?!

"Ooohhh~! what, or rather, who were you thinking about, Kaho-chan?" mio asked me, a teasing smile displayed upon her face.

"A certain azure-haired violinist I presume?" Nao added with a wicked Smile on her face. As soon as I heard them, Tsukimori-kun's Face suddenly appeared in my mind. I felt myself blush while shaking my head.

"N-no! I Wasn't thinking about Tsukimori-kun-I just-were just-!" I couldn't stop stuttering while blushing furiously.

"There's no need to Deny it Kahoko." Nao said while smirking. Mio squealed in delight while holding her hands together.

"uwaaahhh~! the Violin Romance must be taking place!" Mio said with a dreamy expression on her Face.

"Come on guys! Me and Tsukimori-kun don't have that Kind of relationship! I don't even know if he considers me as a Friend, much less, a Lover!" I said in frustration.

Len Tsukimori, was a guy in the music department who played the Violin. He was pretty much the main reason why I've grown to Love the violin. His mother is Hamai Misa, a Famous pianist known throughout the world while his father is also a famous violinist who also owns a music company. We were both at the school Concours along with five other people. I only got to join because I can see Lili, the music fairy, who gave me a magic violin. A Violin that can be Played by anyone who wields it. however, this fact was kept a secret between me, lili, the principal and kanazawa-sensei. At first I was hesitant to join the concours and play the violin, 'cause I felt like I was cheating. However, when I heard Tsukimori-kun play Ave Maria, I was completely moved by the violin. It was also because of the violin that I met a new set of Friends and was reminded of how music can bring happiness and joy into people's hearts.I guess I've forgotten about that fact ever since that horrible incident...

"Oi, Kahoko, Are you alright?" Nao asked.

"I told you, I'm alright really." I faked a smile hoping they would believe me.

"Really Kaho-chan, We're getting worried. You Know you can tell us if you have a problem..." Mio said.

"I'm sorry... maybe next time I'll tell you... I just can't right now... I'm really sorry... I hope you can understand... Now's just not... the right time..." I said avoiding my gaze.

It pains me that I've been keeping a secret from my friends... They've always been there for me... While I've been keeping a lot of thing from them... and yet they still accept me... I didn't even notice that I was crying until a sob emerged from me...

"Kaho-chan..." I felt arms wrap around me. I couldn't help but Cry harder as I broke down and sat in the cold floor...

"Kaho, stop crying... Everything's gonna be alright."

"Kaho-chan, stop crying. Everything's gonna be alright. We're here with you..."

I suddenly stopped. Why... why are they still haunting me?! I ran away so that I could escape from al the pain... the guilt... the suffering... and yet...

"Kaho-chan, you don't have to force yourself to tell us, we can wait..."

I was about to tell them that I was thankful for having them as my friends when the door opened with a loud bang, revealing a rather sweaty and worried group that I met with the help of the Violin..

"Kaho-chan~! Are you ready to go ho-WHAT HAPPENED?!"Hihara-senpai said.

I laughed at how his big smile turned into a worried face, then into confusion when I laughed. It was quite entertaining on how fast his expresson could change in a matter of seconds.

"Is something wrong Hihara-senpa-HINO?! What happened to you?!" Tsuchiura-kun asked, his eyes growing bigger. Mio and Nao Looked at me Weirdly. While the others also entered the room, wondering what was going on.

"Kaho-senpai...? w-why are you crying...?" Fuyuumi-chan asked me, her face giving the usual blush.

"My my, this is quite a sight..." Yunoki-senpai added with a smirk.

"Kaho-sen... pai...?" Shimizu-kun called me almost half awake.

However, I did not expect to see the last one who entered the room. an Azure-haired boy carrying a blue case in his hand, wearing a blank expression, which turned into a surprised and worried one after taking a look at me. and something else... concern perhaps...? but it returned to a cold expression a minute later. He sighed then walked towards me then offered his hand. Everyone's jaw dropped while their eyes had widened of shock. I too, was speechless. I mean, It was Len, The Tsukimori Len, the infamous Ice Prince, offering me a hand?

"What are you staring at for? stop wasting my precious time. Take my hand and stand up from that ridiculous looking state, It's disgraceful as my student."

after hearing his cold tone i nodded and took his hand, sending electricity from his hand,scattering through my body.

"Oi Tsukimori! If you want to help, stop using that sharp tongue of yours-"

"It's okay Tsuchiura-kun." I said while patting my skirt.

"But-" he tried to reason but was cut off by hihara-senpai

"Kaho-chan! what happened?!" he asked again.

"I... I don't really want to talk about it, if you don't mind." I said while looking at everyone, stopping at Tsukmori-kun.

"ahh.. Tsukimori-kun... thank you for helping me." I said while bowing. Hoping to hide my blush.

"It was nothing. It's none of my business to know why you are crying, but please take care of yourself. Remember that you must be cautious to avoid getting injured. It might affect the quality of your performance, especially for you Level." He said, which earned him a glare from Tsuchiura. I lowered my head.

"Why you-"

"And also put it in that little clumsy mind of yours to stop making people worry about you." He added before Tsuchiura-kun could finish, which made him gawk at him. Tsukimori-kun, who seems to have also noticed what he had said stiffened. Then turned away, but before he could completely turn around, I caught a Glimpse of his flushed Face. So does that mean... he's worried about me...?

"I'm going home. I think you've wasted enough of my Precious practice time for this nonsense." He said, but he stopped when I tugged at his sleeve. He looked at me coldly.

"What do you need?"

"Please walk home together with us." I asked him with pleading eyes. While Tsukimori-kun's Eyes widned, I head gasps from my other friends.

"OI Hino! Are you sure You Want this Ice cube to tag along?!" Tsuchiura-kun said while glaring at Him.

"C'mon Tsuciura! you Know what they Say, The more the merrier!" Hihara-senpai said with a wide grin.

"My My" Yunoki-senpai said with a glint in his eyes. while Mio and Nao had teasing Smiles on their Face. Shimizu-kun was asleep and Fuyuumi-chan was trying to wake him up.

I looked Tsukimori-kun pleadigly when he sighed.

"Fine."

I smiled at him then noticed his lips twitching a little while he looked at the opposite direction. I looked at all my Friends smiling and Laughing together...

"this is my present now..." whispered to myself with a content smile while walking behind the Others with Tsukimori-kun by my side. I looked up at him and called him.

"Ne Tsukimori-kun..." He looked down at me and asked

"what?" I held onto his shoulders and tiptoed,

"what are you-"

"Thank you." I whispered before leaning to kiss his cheeks. His eyes widened and his hand touched his cheeks. I gave him another warm smile before catching up with the others.
