=====

I've been called a genius by many. My teachers, my classmates, the people at the park, my father's friends, and the likes. Every time they speak to me, all I get are non-stop praises. But most of them, talk behind my back.

You might think I'm happy, but I'm sick of it. I'm sick of all the fake smiles everybody shows to gain my trust. I'm sick of all the fake compliments just to appease me. Everything they've done, they did it just because they want something from me. Just because I have talent, they want to be my friend. I'm sick of all these fake people, fake friends, fake everything. I'm sick of it all.

That is... until I met her.

"Where am I?" Catching my breath, I woke up lying on a bed, looking at the ceiling.

"Hiiro!" A girl suddenly hugged me, it was a familiar voice.

As I looked to my left, immediately, I recognized her.

"Ha... Haruka? Y-you're alive?"

Looking around, I saw medical equipment that looked strangely familiar.

"What's going on?"

"Hiiro!" Haruka cried while hugging me. "Thank goodness. Thank goodness you finally woke up."

"Ha... ruka? What's going on? Why am I in the hospital? A-and... why are you alive?"

"It's because of you," Haruka cried. "It's because you saved me. When I was about to jump on the rooftop you quickly rushed towards me. I was saved but you fell in the end. I'm sorry... I'm sorry Hiiro."

"I'm glad... I'm glad you're alive," I replied tightening my hug on her.

"Hiiro," Haruka said wiping her teary eyes. "I'm sorry. When I said sorry to your confession I was actually lying."

"Lying?"

"Yes. The truth is I like you. No, I love you. I've always loved you," Haruka said with her moist eyes.

"L-love?"

"Yes," she shouted. "I love you."

Wait, wait, and wait. What just happened? Is this really a confession?! This is real, right?

"Hiiro." Her eyes were sparkling.

"Y-yes?"

Ahhhrrg. She's too cute. I can't stand this at all.

"Hiiro..." she said, softly. "Can I... can I kiss you?"

"M-mnn"

It was like a charmed snake tamed by a flute. My hands slowly touched her face, caressing it while watching my hands slipping into her skin. It was as smooth as polished marble with her complexion as white as snow. Her lips were so pink, they shone as if tempting me to kiss her. Little by little, our lips were slowly meeting. For each second that passed, I could feel my heart beating faster.

She was so adorable right now, however...

"Hiiro," A mysterious voice echoed, a faint but familiar voice, stopping me from what I was doing.

"What is it, Hiiro?" Haruka asked.

"Hiiro," the same voice echoed again.

What is this voice?
