*We were given two hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see, and two ears to listen. But, why only one heart? Because the other one was given to someone else for us to find.

"OH. MY. GOSH!" Sumire exclaimed the minute that she entered the classroom.

"What is it Sumire-chan?" Nonoko asked.

"Yeah, what's gotten you so excited about, Permy?" Mikan added.

Sumire, who was too full of excitement, let out an ear-piercing squeal.

"Reo Mouri is going to be our substitute music teacher!" She exclaimed.

All of the girls who heard her announcement also squealed with delight. They surrounded Sumire like bees swarming around honey. Even the girls from the other sections and year levels joined the crowd.

"Are you serious?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"How long is he going to stay in the academy?"

The girls continued to interrogate and bombard Sumire question after question. It was a wonder how she managed to answer each one.

"Who's Reo Mouri?" Koko spoke up through the noise.

Almost every girl in the room gasped. They stared at him in shock. Koko didn't even flinch despite the glares that some of the girls were directing at him.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, completely oblivious.

The fan girls instantly surrounded him.

"You don't know who Reo Mouri is?"

"How can you not know him?"

"I can't believe that you're not even aware of how popular he is!"

Within a span of a few seconds, Kokoro Yome was enveloped in a mob of angry and obsessed Reo Mouri fan girls.

"This is so typical of Koko." Ruka chuckled. The others couldn't help but laugh as well.

But fortunately for Koko, the bell finally rang and after several minutes, the fan girls returned (although reluctantly) to their respective classes. And after two periods, the long-awaited music class finally came into session.

When Mikan and the others arrived in the music room, they were greeted by a handsome young man around his early twenties.

The man had red hair and intense amethyst-colored eyes. He was probably the most handsome guy that Mikan ever saw, well, apart from Natsume of course (although, she'd never let him know that). This was none other than Reo Mouri, one of the most famous singers and actors in Japan.

Almost every girl in Class 2-A squealed with delight when they saw him.

"Good morning, class." His voice was gentle, soft and most definitely, intriguing. Even Mikan couldn't help but be drawn to his voice.

Everyone immediately seated themselves, the front row mostly occupied by girls.

"Since this is our first day of class, why don't we spend the whole period getting to know each other?" Reo smiled at them. Almost every girl in the classroom sighed dreamily.

"Well, first of all, let me greet all of you with a song." Reo winked at them.

He grabbed the guitar on his side and started strumming. Everyone instantly became quiet and started to listen.

Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue.
