Make Your Heart Race

Feelings

I kept thinking about what I said, 'I can't believe I said that outloud!' I mentally scolded myself as we walked through with everyone. Natsuki's cheery mood as beginning to lift my own as we continued to walk.

"I didn't think we would be assigned seniors. Though, I'm glad we have them." Natsuki said. I nodded

"We will have more guidance at least, someone to teach us." and I glanced at Ai who was walking ahead.

"Right?!" Otoya smiled

"I'm sure we'll turn out to be great with their help." I smiled a bit in agreement, and we shared a laugh. "Tch, you guys aren't anything special." Ranmaru scoffed, "you won't be making it very far if you lay dependant on others." With him saying that I narrowed my eyes 'what's his problem?'

"Eh, what's wrong, Ran-Ran?" Reiji asked with a polite smile. Though Ranmaru merely scoffed again.

"I'm not interested in teaching these brats. I doubt Ai has any interest as well." I glared at him, 'how dare he..' I was so tempted to blow up on Ranmru. Then Ai turned to him

"Well, you're right with that. I really don't care muc for this. I am only doing so because I was told to do so. Not out of interest have I come here." Ai stated, I lowered my head. Ai doesn't care... Of course he doesn't.

"Kurosaki-senpai, do not think we have not what it takes to do this. We have the passion, and heart to put forth our all." Masato said. "Hmph. You say that now." Ranmaru scoffed. "We know what we are going to do. And do not need you to worry about us." Ren smirked. Ranmaru glared at Ren. "Hey, hey. Now, now." Reiji cut in to try and calm things.

"Why, Reiji? " Ai questioned making me look to him.

"it's pointless to fight for. They're not worth defending." Ai added. So, that's what he really thinks, he doesn't care. His words tore me apart a bit inside.. But before I knew it I was yelling at him.

"So, you think that we don't have what it takes?! That we don't have the passion to do what we love to to?! What the hell! I have faith and determination for Starish! We will do as we wish and deliver our music to our fans!" I yelled at Ai, I just had lost it. Ai stared back at me bewildered at my sudden outburst. I was breathing hard, slowly realizing I'd just blown up on Ai, my eyes widened, and my face began to heat up Natsuki laid a hand on my shoulder.

"Syo-chan..." I just stood there.

"I have faith in Starish too!" Otoya added. "We all do." Tokiya agreed "Tch." Ranmaru began to walk away "look at the runt believing he has something to stand up for." the silver haired male called back.

"You..!" I began

"Syo-chan... don't-" Natsuki began while trying to calm me down. I slapped his hand away.

"Stop it, Natsuki!" I snapped. Natsuki stopped his eyes filled with hurt 'damnit..!' I turned away from Natsuki and ran through the corridors, I headed for our room. Which we would soon share it with Ai...

I just sat on my bed curled up in a ball. All of my rage escaped me in tears. God, am I pathetic, sitting here crying.. Then, I heard the door open someone entered the room. I scoffed quietly to myself 'it's probably Natsuki..'

"Go away, Natsuki." I growled. I'm not in the mood for anyone right now. I pulled my blankets over my head and laid back. I heard foot steps approaching me. I growled a bit then shot up

"Natsuki! I said go--" I stopped as I turned around, my words caught in my throat..

Ai Mikaze P.O.V

Syo's out burst caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting him to defend Starish with such intensity. Though, I liked his determation. He is kinda c--... Wait, no! He's just a short brat, why am I thinking such nonsense.

But, soon after Syo ran down the halls when Ranmaru gave his immature comment. I wanted to say something to Ranmaru.. I sighed, 'why was I thinking of defending this guy..?'

"Syo-chan..." Natsuki sighed as he put his head down, he was noticably hurt by Syo's actions.

"I'll go talk to him." I offered.

"Eh? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Natsuki questioned.

"I don't know." I admitted but waved it off and began to walk away. I figured he might go to his and Natsuki's room. And with me being their mentor we will share the room. I figured he may be there. I reached the room after a while, I hesitated at the door. I hear a soft sound comming from the room. Crying... I hear crying... I opened the door and walked in the room.

"Go away, Natsuki!" Syo yelled, but I continued to walk toward him syo sat up quickly

"Natsuki! I said go--" Syo stopped in mid-sentence, his eyes widened and a pink hue arose his cheeks, and he looked away.

"o-oh it's y-you.." Syo stuttered. 'how cute.. ..! wait.. what.?' Syo glanced at me, and my heart began to beat faster. 'what.. what is this..?' "What do you want?" Syo asked.

"I came to see if you were all right." I answered.

"Hmph... I'm fine." Syo said with a light chuckle.

"I'm just surprised Natsuki didn't come instead." Syo added.

"Hmm.." I said as I walked closer to him. Syo began to become more nervous.. Why?

"It's bugging you isn't it?" I asked "Eh? What?" Syo looked down. "What Ranmaru said to you" I began "and to tell the truth he's like that to everyone. Don't let it get to you." I added. 'am I seriously trying to comfort him.?'

"It's not bothering me!" Syo argued. "Of course it's not." I shrugged. "What's that suppose to mean?" Syo growled.

"Nothing." I merely said "well now that you seem fine. You'll be needing to come down to the music room soon. Bye." I added then began to walk toward the door. All sorta of emotions swirled and churned inside of me, with Syo in mind. All these mixed emotions, I'm becoming confused. I hesitated at the door, then left. 'what is this...'
