As I walked to the school gates with Cherry, Tails, Talon, Val and Larry we saw a crowd in the center of the school campus “What’s going on?” I asked “We won’t know till we join the crowd” Talon said excitedly as we went to the crowd and see what’s the fuss is all about. “Excuse me may I have your attention…” the crowd didn’t even pay attention to a single word the chairman said, then I saw….. Tsukiyomi Ikuto? What is he doing there? He went up to the stage and…. “AHEM~” the crowd went silent
“The chairman has something to tell so why don’t you listen” as he smirked to the crowd the most of the girls almost faint because of him, then he went to side and gave the honor to the chairman he finally said the news which is kindda horrible “Four days from now we will have a talent contest. We will choose to winners a boy and a girl, the winners will present at the park after the contest and also spend the night out with our beloved princess Astrid Marie – right princess.. that’s all pls proceed to your classes now” “Yea off course… Wait what??” it was all my reaction to the last sentence. Why did anyone planned about this maybe the chairman did and told mom and dad about it and approved it could be UHHHH I couldn’t believe it “Why did mom and dad ever agreed with this?”
“Because its time for you to get out and hangout a little with the others and of course mommy and daddy promised us that also you would have this experience. This has happened to us before, Talon was the last one to do it so I guess were all even” Valkyra explained why would mom and dad do this to me and it will be fine to me if its somebody that has a good attitude “Unlike a certain someone over there-“ opps I must have said it out loud “Its ok Astrid don’t worry we will join the contest because…. Mr. Nikiadou let us to” Talon reassured with a sighed. We all separated to our classes, as Talon and I reached our classroom we saw all of the girls in our class were giggling, squealing and blushing I don’t even know what’s going on, when I was about to ask Talon said it first and then I saw Ikuto playing his violin with a pleasuring sound. When he saw us he stopped and the girls were glaring at us but I ignored it as I walked to my seat and pile up my books and the worst is Ikuto walked in front of me and forcefully gave the violin to me, his smirk I just want to clean it off his face “Betcha’ can play violin” I can’t believe he said it “Wha-What?” “Since every people said that you’re a talented princess why don’t you prove it?” really people are expecting to much from me but of course I know how to play a violin I just a little had a little lesson from my uncle “Yeah of course I know how to play a violin….. a little” “Then play” I hate his guts. I tried to play the violin then I couldn’t maybe I was scared that everyone would laugh at me so It took a long time *(puts the violin down) I am sorry but… I can’t (runs out of the room)*…. I ran as fast as I could I went to my favorite place at school the forest of cherry blossoms I think I am the only one who knows this place but who cares at least I can leave all my problems here well unluckily my relaxation didn’t last long because a voice popped in “Hi princess afraid to play or you just don’t know how to play it” I know that voice “what do you want Tsukiyomi?” “I just wanted to know why you didn’t play the violin” after a long pause I was thinking If I should tell him or not but I couldn’t help myself so I told him “I was scared that the rest of you would laugh at me if I make a mistake - ….. so I guess that’s it” tears were streaming in my face and felt an arm wrapped at me. When I saw his face it was filled with pity or something, the way I see it, it seems like he wants me to cheer up, letting me know that everyone makes mistakes and I barely know that. He let go, rub me head like a cat and said “Don’t worry, I know how you feel it normally happens ……. I can teach you how to play the violin confidently, if you want to.” and I was like WHAT REALLY HE WOULD- I MEAN, IS THIS A TRAP OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW BUT MAYBE, I GUESS SO MAYBE I SHOULD “Are you sure about this, you’re not doing this so you would win right? Because it’s hard to trust someone that is a super popular playboy in the school… but since you act nice and friendly maybe I should for once” “well then let’s make a deal, I will give you four days for you to trust me we’ll rehearse violin together after class at the studio and when you trust me we will be friends okay? Is it a deal ornot?” phew that was a close one he is good at making deals fine I should “Deal” “Good we start today during the rehearsing time and after class- don’t ask why just grab your violin and lets go” great a trap sentence fine he wins I grabbed my violin with my magic and left for class.
~TIME SKIP~
Days passed and the contest is now here Ikuto and I did the last rehearsal from the very first note to the last and after that he told me that “just do it, if you feel that you forgot the note don’t think about it continue to play and everything will be just fine, you’ll know it by heart” now that I thought about it he is right I just have to but all of his words are making me nervous and it’s already my turn before I went up to the stage Ikuto noticed me struggling. Before I move a muscle he told me “Just remember what I told you and you’ll be fine I promise you’re a talented kid after all” he is stunning and I blushed, I smiled to him and “Thanks Ikuto” I said and went up to stage. I played the violin perfectly just like Ikuto taught me. After my presentation I bow down to everyone and they applause to me and I saw “him”
smiling at me then ran like a speed of light and thanked him with a hug then I waited for the result and thankfully I was chosen for the girls and worst Ikuto was chosen for the boys. Night has come, him and I had a chance to talk about the deal we made privately, I owe him a lot “I owe you Ikuto” I said breaking the silence between us while walking in the beach “I thought your just a black cat of misfortune, I must’ve misjudged you and I’m sorry. Now about the deal we made four days ago…. Well it is agreed” he is looking at me with a confused look at his face “does this means were friends?” he asked. “Yes we are and thanks to you I discovered my talent and found a nice friend” “really? Who is this friend of yours?” “it’s you silly. Well actually you’re the third guy I know outside of the palace. You don’t have to understand but this you should, It’s you and me Ikuto as violinists” I cheerfully said he just smiled at me and splash a bit of water at me and later we were chasing each other but who cares at least I did it, I found it. TALENT DISCOVERED.
