Who: Baku and Chloe
Where: Chitoku Music Room
When: Wednesday, April 19, After School
What: Ogata Baku stars in, "Violin Massacre!"

Over and over again, Ogata Baku would play the basic scales on the violin, and over and over again he would make one or two mistakes. And once again, he would grit his teeth and become even more frustrated than he already was. Just looking around, he could see that some of the other students were naturals at this. Progeny, even. He almost wanted to quit, seeing that his own contribution to the room was little but idle noise at the moment.

Almost.

And so he kept at it, repeating the same scales over and over. Though he hardly improves much, he eventually is able to do that much without messing up every time. Despite the improvement, it does little to encourage him. "Pick a culture club," they said. It will be fun, they said. These rules are just arbitrary, sometimes. True enough, he really did wish he was better with the violin, but the heat of the moment swirls in his thoughts, manifesting in a slight grimace on his face. Maybe everyone else was psyching him out. He decided to take a short break and watch the others for a while.

His questioning her quietly lit an angry flame in her chest, but she fought it down. Her grim expression never wavered, but she watched him as he turned to leave. Did she? Of course she did. Who in their right might would subject themselves to this kind of thing willingly? Even if there were people like Miyume, or Haruka, or even this Baku... there were about four times as many who were their opposites. She wasn't great at math, but those odds were not in her favour.

As he paused at the door to talk to her again, she saw the light in his eyes. He was a competitive one, wasn't he? Then came the name he called her. Kiiro-san? As the boy left the music room, one hand slowly raised to the hair that fell down into her face. Yellow...

After Baku left, it took a few minutes, but Chloe could hear the whispers start up again. They were quieter now, hushed slightly by the fact that she had actually spoken. For some in the club it was probably the first time she had ever spoken in front of them. As she heard the whispers start again, she looked grimly down at the keys.

"...I do."

And she continued playing
