Kahoko's PoV
I sighed for the nth time today while looking dumbly at the instrument before me colored in black and white as it shines from the light given by the sun through the windows. It was a sunny day, clouds were nowhere to be seen, and you could hear the birds singing their hearts out. all in all, it was a great, wonderful, beautiful, perfect day!
But not for me.
I sighed again. I'm sure you're all wondering why I've been adding some more carbon dioxide to the world even though the ozone layer is getting smaller by the moment. But I can't help it! The only songs I've managed to compose yesterday are 5 songs.
The first one was for Yunoki-senpai. I practically woke up screaming when I dreamt about the first time I saw Yunoki-senpai's 'other' side.
I sat up straight as I panted and felt my sweat trickle down my skin as I recalled my nightmare. But as soon as I looked outside, a tune began to play in mind. I imagined each not flying through the air as it played in my head. I quickly went out of my bed, but my blankets wrapped around me and I fell out of my bed with a loud thud.
"Itte~" I squeaked as I lay there on the floor, motionless. Trapped with a pink, bunny printed blanket. I tried to untangle the blanket but my arms were also caught. I started wriggling, thinking it would help, but failed nonetheless.
'bunnies... it sorta reminds me of a certain someone...' I thought as a small little blond boy with chocolate brown eyes holding a stuffed bunny and eating cake flashed through my mind. 'I wonder how they're doing right now...'
My thoughts were cut off when I heard foot steps coming from the bathroom as the door banged open and Tomo-chan came into view with a worried expression.
"Haruka! what was that loud crash I hear-" She stopped when she saw my hopeless state. I just smiled shyly at her as a blush crept to my skin.
"Ahehe... a little help, tomo-chan?" I asked shyly, still keeping the blush. She sighed and smiled warmly at me as she walked towards me and knelt beside me as she began to untangle the blankets kept me down on the floor
"Seriously Haruka, Are you still half asleep? " She said as she finally managed to get the cloth of me. I grinned sheepishly.
"N-no.. It's just that I suddenly got an idea for- Oh my gosh!" I said as I quickly stood up and headed straight to the upright sitting at one corner of the room. When I sat down I noticed that I forgot the music sheet and pencil. So I stood up again and almost tripped. As soon as I got the materials, I went back to the piano as I started scribbling on the paper while wearing a serious face.
"Haruka? What about classes?" Tomo-chan asked me. I looked back at her. I completely forgot about her presence. I shook my head and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry Tomo-chan, But it seems I'll be skipping today. I have a feeling that I won't only be writing one song... please pass it on to Ringo-sensei. I'm sure she would understand, and I'm sure the president wouldn't mind either. He has been rather... excited to hear the new songs after he saw the ones I wrote for Shimizu-kun and the group song for Starish..." I said as I remembered him suddenly popping out occasionally from random places. Asking me how the songs were. I sweat dropped at the flash back
"Alright, alright. But make sure to eat properly. I'll copy the notes for today's lessons for you. Now, I have to leave or else I'll be late. Bye~!" She said as she ran off. I smiled as I waved good bye. As soon as the door closed, I faced my piano and started playing the notes, making some correction at some points and adding in the others...
"Hah... It's finally done." I said as I felt a sweat drop from my chin. I managed to finish the song within an hour. I looked at the notes, it really fit Yunoki-senpai's personality. It was somehow sweet, but there was also something mysterious about it. As if there was a secret hidden within it. Just like his other side. The everyone, Yunoki-senpai was the perfect guy. He was smart, Kind, graceful, helpful, and so on and so forth. I also believed that. Until she found out I was very, very wrong. Surprised was an understatement for what she felt when he suddenly told her in a cold, irritated voice that I was annoying as he smirked at her evilly and pinned her to the wall... And now I saw him not as a kind senior, but a very good actor.
"I need some fresh air..." I said as I got up. I safely tucked the music sheet in a folder along with some other blank music sheets. Taking it with me as I went out of the room after taking a shower and changing out of her pajamas.
"Uwaaah... The breeze feels so... nice. " I sighed as I sat down on the green, soft grass. Feeling their blade-like texture through my small fingers. I found my feet taking me here as I walked around aimlessly. I looked at my hands as a memory flashed through my mind.
'' That's because your hands are small." A bluenette told me once.
"Really? My hands are normal..." I said as I raised my hands. I felt a blush creep through my skin as he put his palm against mine and said
"See? Your hands are small." He said nonchalantly.
I blushed hard.
"Why is it that... when it comes to him, I always get so... " I trailed off. I couldn't find the right words for what I feel... I look at the trees and saw two birds cuddling cutely to each other.
"...Love... with... Tsukimori... kun?" I said to myself as I blushed harder.
"No! That's impossible! Really really impossible!" I shouted. I mean, come on! It's not possible! Were polar opposites! It's like he's ice, and I'm fire!
'Well they do say that opposites attract!'
a taunting voice in my head said
"SHUT UP!" I shouted. I sighed and looked at my side. I brought along my violin without noticing it. I took it out and ran my fingers through the smooth, shiny wood, along the golden string, and ending at the scroll... I looked at the clear sky. as I stood up and positioned myself. I took a deep breath and played Gavotte.
'Hihara-senpai...' I thought as I played this piece for the first time back then. Now that I think about it, it was pretty ironic how our first duet together seemed to pertain himself. After I finished playing, I started playing a playful tune, it wasn't any of the pieces I know of. It was just... a tune. A tune that seemed to lift your mood if it was dampened, something that can make a person happy just by listening to it... something like... Hihara-senpai. My eyes snapped open as realization dawned on me. I sat down and started writing the notes on the blank score. The time I spent writing it was much faster than Yunoki-senpai's song.
"Yosh~ It's done!" I said aloud as I smiled at the score full of , the wind blew, taking the paper along with it.
"Ah! Wait!" I screamed, as if the paper would come running back at me. I took my stuff and started running after it. It took me a few minutes before the wind finally settled down.
"Thank goodness..." I sighed in relief as I took it. Securing it in my folder. I looked around and realized that I had entered the woods.
"Oh no... I'm lost." I said as my eyes widened in horror. My sense of direction was not that much. All I see were trees. I walked towards a random direction.
"I think I'm going deeper into the forest." I sweat dropped. I looked around as I continued to walk, I started to panic. Why? Why was I given the curse for having the weak sense of direction?!
I halted when I heard something like... a water fall? I continued to walk as I followed the sound, and after a few more minutes, I gasped as I took in my surroundings. I was right, there was a falls. It was a few hundred meters tall, and the walls of earth that stood next to it were full of plants with different kinds, some even had flowers. the stream that it flowed to was crystal clear, and I could even see some fishes swimming. there were two trees that formed into an arc a few metes after the falls. I quickly took a picture of it in my phone before I sat under one of the trees. I never knew that there was such a place like this in the school. I thought back to my days here in this school, together with starish. We had such good times.
I looked at the top of the falls and smiled as I remembered Syo-kun. He used to have a fear of heights that he was practically shaking when he climbed a tree. Syo-kun...
"AH!" I squealed as I got up and fumbled through my things and took out my pencil and started writing the noptes that came into my head. It was like a heroic song, lively and warm. Just like how Syo-kun is. I finished writing as the birds came to sing in a nearby branch.
"Finally done..." I sighed out and looked at the sun... it was getting hotter. I looked at the birds again and saw them cuddling to each other.
"Love... huh?" I as I looked at my reflection in the water. Am I really in love with an ice cube like Tsukimori-kun? If I was... then there is absolutely no chance for me.
"That guy is so cold that he'll never look at me! How much more for him to return his feelings. I might as well become a nun or grow old alone..." I said as I sweat dropped. Imagining myself in a nun's robe. I sighed as I leaned back in the tree. If only I was like Ren-kun who had such charisma..
Before I knew it I was once again, scribbling on a piece of paper while humming out the song. And once I finished it, I stood up and started stretch. I've been sitting there for hours, so I wasn't surprised much when my back hurt. But I was surprised when I heard a small voice suddenly speak behind me.
"These are some great compositions..."
I slowly turned around and almost screamed as I saw a small, chibi-like figure going through my song compilation. She was as small as lili, and wore pink clothing. Her skirt were like petals put together, and her top was a long sleeve the formed a V-shape when it ended on her hands, the tip of it connected to a ring on her middle finger. She had long golden hair that was tied in a high ponytail, and had eyes that were as red as rubies.
"y-you are...?" I reluctantly asked after I managed to compose myself. She turned to me, surprise registered on her face as she flew towards.
"You can see me?" She asked, I merely nodded before her face broke onto a full smile.
"That's great! Almost no one sees our kind anymore! I am Lila a-"
"Fata fairy..." I cut her of. She looked at me once again with surprise.
"How did you know about that?" She asked me, I just smiled slightly as I answered.
"I have a friend at my original school... He's also a fata, like you. His name is Lili." I said and watch with amusement as I noticed her cheeks get red.
"D-did you say L-lili?" She asked in a soft voice, her face getting redder. I silently mused on her cuteness.
"Yeah. Do you know him?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.
"Y-yeah... sort of..." She replied meekly, making me laugh lightly.
"What?" She asked me.
"You like him." I stated. It wasn't a question. I laughed as she blushed harder/
"NO! I mean-I-He-" She stopped as she glared at my grinning face.
"Fine! I do like him..." She confessed. I laughed at her again as I held out my hand to her and brought it closer to me when she landed on it.
"It's okay. I won't tell him." I assured her.
"really?" She asked me. I nodded
"Yeah, but would you mind if you help me get back to campus? I sorta got lost..." I said as I scratched the back of my head while smiling sheepishly. She stared at me before she started laughing. Landing on one of the branches of tree while trying to control her laughter,
" ahaha! O-okay, I'll help you. Come one." she said as she started flying again and headed towards the right. I smiled as I knew that I had made another interesting friend.
A/N: I'm reeaaallyyy sorry for the super late update. I was sort of busy with school and all... And life, and right now I'm in a dilemma. :( not, don't worry, it has nothing to do with the story. You see, I think of myself as plain, but my friends say that I'm pretty and adorable, but I always contradict that. Well, I have been in love ( i guess) with my friend for three years, and I aldready accepted that it was one sided and planned to bottle it up 'til graduation, so I can move on when we seperate ways on college. It was only a year left for that to happen. However, a guy from a lower year was suddenly introduced to me by a friend. He sort of had a crush on me. I entertained him, thinking that maybe I would grow to like him. But sadly, I didn't. And I was horridied to know that what he had was a simple crush, he said he had fallen for me. I was horrified because I KNEW i couldnever return his feelings. He was a noce guy, he was in the honor roll, a great guitarist, etc.. Who wouldn't like him? Sadly, me. I was too in love with the other guy, and I can't bear to give up my feelings for hiM. But the guy at the lower year level said he won't give up. I'm in a dilemma, because I already told him that I can't return his feelings because I like ( no I never told him I loved the guy, besides, the guy already had another girl. I was just content to stay as a friend by his side) , and I don't want to hurt him. What Should I do? I feel guilty... :'(
