SOMEWHERE IN YOKOHAMA, JAPAN. JULY, 2004.

One year later...

"Morning sucks."

13-year-old Hanagaki Akari yawned quite loudly and slumped her school bag over her shoulder as she groggily left the apartment complex she was living. She wasn't really an A-person so waking up at six in the morning for school was a total pain in the butt. And fixing her bed hair with a hairbrush and a quick iron on her wrinkled school uniform wasn't doing any justice either.

"Akari-chan, good morning!" her newfound friend and also her classmate for a few months, Miyazawa Nanami, greeted her with a bright smile as the girl waited for her alongside the pavement. They always walked together to school since their houses were only a few blocks away from each other. She was nice and Akari reminded her of her best friend back in elementary days at her hometown in Shibuya before she got transferred to Yokohama when she started middle school. 

Akari smiled back. "Good morning to you too, Nana-chan." 

"It looks like it's going to rain soon," Nanami stated as she looked up at the sky.

Akari followed her gaze and saw dark thick clouds forming across the blue sky, almost covering the sun. "You're right. Let's get going," she said and they both quickened their pace.

"By the way, have you decided to join any school clubs?" Nanami asked her as soon as they reached the school gates along with the other students at the same time. Some stole a glance at the two girls chatting their way towards the school building, most specifically on the short raven-haired girl wearing an adorable blue headband, and blushed. All of them had thought the exact same thing: she was cute.

Akari shook her head. She never thought about it and wasn't really that much interested. "Have you?"

"Yeah. I planned to join the music club," she answered shyly, twirling a few strands of her long brown hair with her index finger. Cute.

"Well, you have a very beautiful voice. Joining them will be just a breeze for you," Akari then encouraged her. "You should go for it, Nana-chan."

Nanami blushed a little, embarrassed. The girl gave her a closed-eyed smile. "Thanks, Akari-chan."

Once they set foot on the school entryway, Akari replaced her outdoor shoes with her indoor ones and placed them inside her shoe locker.

Nanami also did the same. "Why don't you also join the music club too? It will be more fun especially with you there."

She shook her head once more. "I think I'll pass. My voice sounded like a squeaky door hinge every time I tried to sing. So no, I'm not qualified for that."
