Utau was about to start talking, but Amu budged in. She told them about how they were always together and all, like a chain that can't be separated. After she told them that Ikuto was acting all weird and didn't wanted to talk to her, about her birthday and how she spent it alone, the scene in the middle of the road, and the accident.
Once she finish, she watch everybody's reaction even Utau was about to cry. Doesn't she know about this? Amu asked herself. Ikuto was hiding around the corner and had heard everything, again he felt guilty and he really wanted everything to go back the way it was.
He was deep into thought, but was back to reality when he saw Amu walking away from the and decided to follow her. She stopped at an empty music room, and sat down to start playing the piano.
Starting with an intro and waiting for the right moment, Amu began to sing.
Skies are crying,
I'm watching ,
Catching tear drops in my hands.
Only silence, as its ending,
Like we never had the chance.
Do you have to make me feel like,
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have,
You can break everything I am,
Like I'm made of glass,
Like I'm made of paper.
Go on and try to tear me down.
I'll be rising from the ground,
Like a skyscraper,
Like a skyscraper.
As the smoke clears,
I awaken.
And untangle you from me.
Would it make you feel better,
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken,
But I'm standing on my feet.
She started crying, and Ikuto was welling up as well.
You can take everything I have,
You can break everything I am,
Like I'm made of glass,
Like I'm made of paper.
Go on and try to tear me down.
I'll be rising from the ground,
Like a skyscraper,
Like a skyscraper.
Go run, run, run.
I'm going to stay right here,
Watch you disappear.
Yeh, ohh.
Go run, run, run.
Yeh it's a long way down,
But I'm closer to the clouds up here.
You can take everything I have,
You can break everything I am,
Like I'm made of glass,
Like I'm made of paper.
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down.
I'll be rising from the ground,
Like a skyscraper,
Like a skyscraper.
Like a skyscraper,
Like a skyscraper.
(This song is called Skyscraper by Demi Lovato)
Amu wiped her tears before standing up from the piano. She walked towards the exit; Ikuto quickly reacted and ran out of sight.
Amu POV
This song has all my feelings. I want Ikuto to know that no matter what he does to me, I will always stand strong. I feel my self-heating up as fountains of tears fall down my face. I want to start again, and I don't want him in my life.
Once I finished singing I wiped my tears off my face and walked towards the door. My eyes are puffy and red, I walk back to the cafeteria and see Rika smiling at me, I smile back but she notices that I've been crying and so does everybody else.
"What happened, who bullied you? Just tell me and I'll smash them up!" Kukai started jumping to conclusion. Everybody except Rika sweat dropped, she didn't care about Kukai and focus all her attention on me.
"So what happened Amu" Rika asked. "Oh, nothing. I was just singing in the music room." I gave her a smile so she wouldn't worry too much. "Ok, if you say so" she still looked worried. She knows what happened 2 days ago, and has been supporting me every time.
"Hey look, it's Hinamori Amu over there with Hoshina Utau and Fugisaki Nadeshiko!" A guy called out attracting attention. Soon everybody was swooping in and was mostly around me, "Get the hell away from her!" Kukai yelled at the crowd.
"Go away Souma-sempi!" One of the girl yelled out. "Hey show some respect!" Nagihiko yelled back at the girl. "You too, Fugisaki! Go away!" A guy said waving his hand as if he was shooing a fly.
"I'm sorry I was born" Kukai sat in an emo-corner next to Nagihiko both holding their knees. I rolled my eyes and I think everyone else sweat dropped. "Hinamori-san, how are you today?" The girl looked at me with sparkles in her eyes.
"Hinamori-sama..."
"Hinamori-san..."
"She's so cool'n spicy..."
"That's Hinamori Amu..."
Everybody was talking at the same time, I was getting really nervous and I could feel sweat dripping down my face. What do I do? What should I say? Having no idea what I was doing, I stepped on the bench then took another step and was standing on the table.
Every one stood there silence and was looking directly at me. I started to open my mouth... Everybody leaned forward waiting for me to say something, "Look. Just because you what to do something, you don't go around being mean to others. And I suggest that you say sorry afterwards or there will be consequences."
I gave them a glare and the annoyed look, but everybody just stood there. Now I was getting nervous, what have I done? Suddenly all the school was chanting, "Cool'n spicy!"
Friday
It was period 2, which means English. I tap my pencil of boredom, up, down, up, down, repeat. The sound of the overhead speaker was making weird noises till someone spoke, "Good morning students! Your principle talking, there are some important announcements so please listen, arigato gusaumasu!"
"Next week is the courage week, join the courage contest on Monday and see who the bravest couples are! Each student will have to pair up with the opposite gender and go into the haunted house where the year tens will try to scare you. Be aware because this year the year tens will be scarier than ever!"
(Ikuto is helping out because he doesn't want to join the other 'boring' activities)
"Good morning Students, Tsuji captain of the newspaper club speaking. I will be announcing the results for the voting of the new queen-bee. The votes are counted, in fourth place... Mashiro Rima... In third place... Fujisaki Nadeshiko... The new Queen-bee of Seiyo high is... Hinamori Amu-sama! Placing Hoshina Utau in second place! Congratulations!"
The whole class cheered as I just sat there on my desk with a blank face. But on the inside I was heating up, me... The new... Queen-bee? Not possible! "Cool'n spicy! Cool'n spicy! Cool'n spicy!" The class chanted.
"Listen up, I know you excited that our Hinamori Amu is the Queen-bee I am too. But listen to this and then you can cheer your hearts out.
