•••Neru's POV•••
Did Len just...

Neru: C-Can you repeat that?

Len smiled and stood up, now looking down at me thanks to my short height. Len gently caressed my cheek as he leaned into my ear and said:

Len: Will you be my duet?

I could feel my heart thump that i almost mistook it for a drum. I was about to say my answer but then remembered Teto. Her tears falling endlessly and yelling at me for being a terrible friend.
I don't want to experience that again.
I then remembered what Len did to me years ago. He hurt and broke my heart. I can't let him do that again.

Neru: I'm sorry. I can't be your duet

I then left, turning back one last time with a broken and guilty heart.

Neru: Please forgive me *muttering*

In class Len wasn't as cheerful and lively as usual. He was miserable, sad and heartbroken.

I went to go comfort him at break but Teto reached him first, bringing a smile to his face. Suddenly, my heart ached badly and it caused me to collapse to the ground, unable to dealt the pain. I still watched and noticed Len was positioning himself to kneel down. Another stab and this time i couldn't even move. I was in pain and suffering and i didn't know how to get out. Len just asked Teto if she wanted to be his duet, didn't he?

Eventually, i collapsed in blackness, hearing faint shouts growing in the distance.

After resting for most of the day, i decided to go to the recording block to practice my singing. I made a song inspired by Len a few months ago and i've always wanted to hear what it sounded like with affects.

I practiced and practiced, not daring to even croak. That showed weakness and i know i'm not weak.
I clenched onto my headphones and practically shouted but still sounded alright.

I just couldn't stop. I need to express how much i'm feeling with at least my voice.

•••Len's POV•••
I was walking in the halls, excused by the teachers since i was clearly not concentrating like usual.
I sighed as i stared out the windows i walked past, not caring where i was going.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a strong and beautiful voice echoed the halls like a bell. The voice sounded hurt and heartbroken.
Who could make whoever they heard to understand their feeling when singing? Who?

I walked passed studio 2 and saw a glimpse of yellow hair gliding in the hair in every movement. I stepped back, wondering who the yellowette was.

Len: Neru?

The angelic voice suddenly stopped. I slowly went inside the recording studio but saw no one. It was empty but a golden magnet headphone was hung on the lyrics stand.
I slowly picked it up and observed it; looking for any initials.

I sighed after looking it over multiple times.

Len: No initials. Damn

•••Neru's POV•••
I gasped for air after Len left the recording room. I was hiding in a locker that was only inches away from where he was standing. Some moments i thought he was looking straight at me. I'm so glad i didn't put any initials on my headphones. That would've been troubling.

After packing my things i headed back to the music room and went to go retrieve my things. Before i could open the door i noticed Teto looking out the window. I hid behind the door as i peered through the glass.

Teto: I love you. Why can't you just-

Len: No it's- *sighs*

Len? I peered closer, revealing Len leaning against a desk. My guitar was there, along with my bag.
Teto turned around in tears, slowly approaching Len. She held his shoulders and he stiffened.

Teto: Why can't you love me?

Teto leaned against Len's body and i noticed my hands trembling. I put my hand over it and forced it to stop. I then felt tears fall out my eyes. I leaned against the door and rolled down until i sat on my bottom, hugging my legs and gritting my teeth in frustration.

Neru: Why am i still in love with you?
