along the road
"why didn't you tell me that you can play
the piano?" kiyota asked looking at arika. arika blushed deep red and said,
"because i don't see it fitting to tell."
kiyota smirked and said, "i think it's
fitting to tell. you can sing well so i see you have the fitting to tell"
arika replied, "well now you know there is no point pushing it right?"
arika asked looking at kiyota.
"i can say you did surprise me!"
kiyota replied stopping in his tracks. "why don't you open up? reveal what
you got? prove yourself to everyone that you're not a loser, than you're not
just
ains but talent too?" kiyota pointed out.
arika sighed and said, "wish i
could..." kiyota exclaimed, "boy you got some self-confidence problem
arika" arika smiled sheepishly and said, "maybe because i don't have
the face" kiyota exclaimed, "ditch the face! what's important is what
you are inside, what you are as a person."
"k-kiyota..." arika exclaimed looking
at kiyota. "look, i'll help you, like you've helped me i'll help you"
kiyota replied. arika shook her head and said, "that's too much kiyota, i
mean... i got into the music club already..." kiyota then grabbed her by
the shoulders and exclaimed, "the music club? why not make yourself known
not only in kainan but to other schools as well?!"
arika sighed and said, "like i said, that's
too much. i don't mind fame really" with that she turned her heel and
walked away. "think about it arika! this might be your chance to get rid of
ria and show her what you got!" kiyota pointed out.
"my chance to get ria and show her what
i got? hmmm.... he has a point" arika thought stopping on her
tracks. she looked back and said, "all right then, i'll give it a try"
kiyota jumped saying, "yosh!"
next day, music club room in kainan
arika's pov
misa wakashi called everyone's attention at the
music club room. i closed my chemistry book and listened. "minna-san, the
annual kainan music festival is coming this coming month. as you all know, the
music club takes charge of it. from the program, presentation and everything
else." misa exclaimed.
murmurs stirred inside the room. misa hushed
everyone and said, "our theme for this festival is love and heart
eak.
there'll be an elimination for those special 15 who'll be performing for the
festival. those five will perform with angel of voice of shohoku, sakuragi veniz
and of course the singing jpop sensation yonekura chihiro. so, ganbatte
minna-san!"
upon hearing this i looked at kiyota who was
waving at me at the door of the room. i sighed. he heard it. now he'll bug me to
join the elimination. misa the continued, "the elimination would be held
here by next monday at 3:00 pm, our adviser mr. kigoru and sakuragi veniz would
be the judges and take note this is open not only for the music club but also to
others as well."
with that misa dismissed us. as i stood up, misa
called out to me, "nee fujisawa-san, i hope you'll join the elimination, i
have no doubt that you'll get picked" i smiled at her and nod my head. "like
i would..." i exclaimed in my mind.
"hey arika, i heard what wakashi-san
exclaimed. that's your key to prove yourself" kiyota exclaimed. "i
don't know kiyota. i mean... if i join this and get picked, i'll have to devote
my whole time on the festival itself, how about the science club?" i
exclaimed not looking at kiyota.
then suddenly jin appeared saying, "don't
worry about the science club arika-san, i'll handle all your job there"
kiyota winked at jin saying, "thanks man!" i exclaimed, "what?
you can't be serious jin-san! and besides, i'll never get picked!"
jin the slapped me at the back saying, "of
course you'll get picked! veniz is dammed amazed with you, you'll get
picked!" kiyota looked at me and said, "remember arika, you promised
me that you'll give it a try" i sighed, i'm getting pressured here.
"i'll think about it" i said not
looking at them and walked away.
