"You're really good at playing the piano." 

That was the first time I've heard her voice, in fact, it was the first time we met. 

I was a loner in high school, almost invisible to the public actually. I had my head down everywhere, in classes, during lunch, when I talk to people maybe once in a week. Point is, I'm a nobody in this place, but I know, the only place I do belong was in the music room.

That was until I met her, Rin, the most beautiful, kind, and a person so perfect in every way possible. 

We met in the music room on a Wednesday, I could still remember every single second when I met her. The way her blonde hair pools on her shoulders and her gleaming blue eyes that seems to smile at me. I was shocked when she talked to me, it was the first time anyone has paid attention to me really.

"Really.. You think so?.." My voice was low, I couldn't put myself to look at her for too long, but I could already feel my face heating up.

"Well I haven't heard that old piano being played in a long time, I'm glad you're putting good use to it." 

"This.. piano.. uh.. it's like my only friend here.." I could feel my face heating up every second with each syllable leaving my mouth. I didn't know what made me say these embarrassing things, probably because I haven't talked to a person in such a long time.

"Your only friend? You're new here I assume?" I could see her white bow on top of her head tilt to the side as her head moves, to which I shook my head.

"I've been here for.. two years.." It was so embarrassing actually. Two years in this school but still no friends, no one even knew that I existed.

"Then you will be having two friends from now on!" Her voice raised up as I heard a soft bell like giggle. 

"Huh?.." I looked up at her with wide eyes, not being able to believe myself as I listen to her speak.

"Your piano and I will be your friend! Nice to meet you, just call me Rin!"

 And that was how I met her, my angel. I am in my last year of high school while Rin is still in her second year, but that didn't stop us from being the closest of friends. We always met up in the music room ever since that day, and well, she is a reason why I put even more effort into learning music, just for me to play it to her.

They say music is meant to make you happy, and I don't doubt that. I enjoy playing music for her, it brings me happiness when I see her happy because of my music.

"Len? Earth to Len?" There was that angelic voice again, I caught myself spacing out before immediately jolted up, my fingers pressing down onto the heavy piano keys startling me even more as I felt a hint of heat dusting my cheek.

"Geez, what happened to you? It's like you went to sleep with your eyes opened!" She chuckles as she stares at me, I did't know what to response to her as I stare at her eyes Her shiny blue eyes are so mesmerizing. It's like I can stare at her forever, but I stopped myself from doing so.

"It was nothing Rin-chan.. I was just thinking about something.."

I knew I liked her the moment I saw her, I knew I was falling for her as we became friends. But I didn't know that I was going to fall for her this much. I could feel my fingers caressing the smooth white keys on the piano as I sighed to myself. I've had this feeling and secret crush with me for a year now, and this would be the last year for me to be in the same school as her, I want to tell her how I feel.
