The Purple Hyacinth

Chapter VII Sports Fest Week

The first day of the sports week have started. The crowd in the open field are overflowing with excitement. The cheerers from different departments are preparing their cheers for the opening ceremony. Lily and Aiko are seated at the bleachers with their co-department students. The first day starts with the opening program, the speech of the distinguished personalities who sponsored for that said event and other programme things.

In the middle of the event the program was interrupted because there was a sudden shortage of electricity and while they were finding alternative, the student council put up a little show to entertain the audience. Ken Burnett and three students will sing a song for the crowd. Everyone was delighted. Ken is popular with the girls because he has the charm and the voice that could truly captivate a maiden's heart. Even when they were just starting to play the crowd won't stop cheering especially the ladies. Lily and Aiko were annoyed by the deafening shout of the fan girls at their back. There was a sudden silence when Ken was about to sing.

I think about you Baby,

And I don't know what to do

All I think about is you

Seems everything around me

Things I'll never understood

They all makes sense when I'm with you ohh

Oh I have heard it all before

To find that so called love then you leave it behind

But now I feel so sure

I listen to my heart this time

Put my heart before my mind

I know what I found

It was once in a lifetime

And I know there's no way out

Cause its once in a lifetime...

Everyone shouted and cheered, some sing along to them and as the song goes on, the crowd gets more pumped up.

I know what I found

It was once in a lifetime

And I know there's no way out

cause its once in a lifetime...

Their song ended and the crowd was asking for another one. By a sudden change of mood someone shouts out: "Noriyama-san your turn!" Everyone looked around in search of that man and the person who just mentioned him point him out of the audience. Noriyama just smug it off and grin but the girls from the Hotel and Restaurant Department doesn't stop calling him.

"Noriyama!"

"Noriyama!"

"Noriyama!" the girls begin to chant and the others go on with the flow. Some guys are pushing him to the stage. He has no choice but to stand in the stage beside Ken Burnett. Burnett gave him the stage and the rest of the students begin to play the song that was just requested by his fans. Forced by the sudden change of pace, Noriyama started singing...

What day is it?

And in what month

This clock never seem so alive

And I can't keep up

And I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me

And all of the people

With nothing to do
