Things aren't the way they once were, everything stays right where I left it, everything stays but it still changes.
Natsu is missing as usual but, he's never been missing for this long. Aki, after what happened in the garden he disappeared, I tried asking about if anyone knew where Aki was but each time I ask a fellow classmate or teacher, they always pointed at the thin air.
I never understood where the two has gone, just what is going on?
"Senpai~!" Before I had the chance to react I felt a pair of thin arms wraps around my waist, "Woah! Haru!" I loosened the weak lock, "stop tackling me out of nowhere like that!" I sighed as I watch the cute male stuck out a tongue trying to act cute, "sowwyy~" he apologizes, "are you ready for the festival!!" He says with excitement.
I nodded, "yeah, my class has already completed most of the preparations, it was pretty damn hard to book the theatre since there are other classes and clubs that want to book it too, but luckily we were able to get a good time slot around the afternoon." I said proudly.
"That's great~," he said cheerfully.
"Hey, since the festival is next week, how about we spend some time alone, like a date?" He said with a mischievous smirk, "a date?" Haru feverishly nodded.
I have never been on a date before so I'm not sure what to say.
"S-sure I guess," I stuttered as I rubbed the back of my head, overflowing with happiness, flowers were practically around him to express how happy he was.
"Great! After your show at noon, we'll go on our date afterwards! Oh! But don't tell Ken about this!" I looked at him oddly, "why not?" I questioned, "just because~~" I looked at him rather confused.
"Anyway remember our date okay!" I nodded as I watch him skipped away as I wave him goodbye.
I looked at the grand clock which is meant to be decoration for the hallway but I mostly prefer to use it to check the time, I noticed it was 5 minutes before the next lesson so I was quick to make my way to my next lesson by running- I lied, this is a fantasy book, go to hell stairs!! As I teleported to my desk.
The lessons passed on pretty quickly which was a bit boring since we have already gone through this subject but for revision sake, we went through it again.
As soon lesson was over the class started to buzz about the festival coming for they all have their parts to do and just like them, I have to do mine.
"You want me to make a new song?" The class leader nodded as she handed me a couple of blank music sheets, "the whole class agreed it would be pretty boring if you sang Amazing Grace so we were hoping if you could make a new song before the festival!" She said with glee.
I-Is she crazy?? The festival is literally in a week time and she wants me to make a new song?!
As I was about to open my mouth to reject the idea--

YES, YOU DO NOT HAVE AN OPTION ⬅
NO
SYSTEM HAS BEEN SAVED.
----- "Sure I can do it." The class leader glows with happiness as she thanked me again and again before walking away after leaving me a pile of blank music sheets.
I sighed as I knew this was going to be a pain in the bottom, why did I even agree on composing a new song??
I grabbed a pen and the stack of papers and was quickly about to make my way to the music room until an unexpected someone was standing outside the classroom.
"Ken??" I questioned as he looks up to me, "big brother~" he says in a somewhat playful tone, "can we have a small talk please?~" I got goosebumps from his odd way of talking, that way of talking kind of reminds me of Haru?
But since he was my younger brother I nodded and followed him to the emergency stairway and leaned on the wall behind me as I listened to what he has to say.
"Big brother, I don't think I can take this anymore," I tilt my head confused, "take what?" Slowly growing a bit concerned I leaned in a bit closer to him as he looks down at the floor, "I-I don't think there's a way to do this anymore," his voice trembles.
"Alex," he grabbed me by the collar and pulled me down to level down a couple of inches to meet his soft lips.
My eyes widen by the sudden sensation, but before I could even react properly by the sudden move.
"please wa--!"
SYSTEM OVERWRITTEN.

-------"Hm?" I look around my surrounding to see I was in the emergency stairway, but why?
I look down in my hands to see that there were blank music sheets, ".. oh right I was meant to head to the practice room!" I'm such an idiot.
I sighed as I quickly made my to the practice room by the power of teleportation.
But why does it feel like I left something behind?
I shrugged off the feeling of something like Déjà vu.
I sat down on the piano chair and began thinking about what song I should do.
Maybe something from my previous life? Tong Hua? Teenagers? Video Game? Baby Shark? Paper Hearts?
[A/N: these songs are just my preference 😂]
So many choices, this isn't going to be easy.
I kept on thinking, but it was clear that choosing only made it harder for me, I like all sorts of songs from K-Pop to classical music.
I tried a couple, I even pressed a couple on notes on the piano but nothing was popping up, was choosing a song was always this hard? I looked around the room to see if anything reminded me of something.
God, why did you make it so hard for me?
'..... Boy, do not go on blaming this on me, how rude!'
I flinched by the sudden familiar voice, "OH MY GOD YOU SCARED THE LIVING SUGAR OUT OF ME!" unaware I straightened my posture from the sudden surprise.
'LOL YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACE!!' I hear the annoying voice cackled, without lashing out my anger at god I tried to calm down.
'... do you want me to help you pick a song?'
"How can you help me? do you even know any songs from my old world?"
'... who knows maybe I do~'
I rolled my eyes back, "suuuure you do" with a hint of sarcasm.
'Hey do you want my help or not?'
I shrugged in response
'... How about Titanium?'
I took God's words into consideration and thought for a while, " that actually is a pretty good idea," I nodded, "but why did you pick that song?" when I questioned God they went quiet for a bit before they could answer anything.
'... Because this song resembles you the most, you're brave, you're strong, although you may be weak at times and that's fine since there will always be someone by your side to help you stand up again and again, so don't forget that.'
I was confused even more and asked, "what do you mean?" but there was no answer, I waited for a couple of more minutes expecting a static sound to happen again, but there was absolutely nothing.
I looked at the music sheets that I laid on top of the grand piano and picked up a pen and one of the paper, my hand started writing like crazy, I used the piano to help me remember all the notes and recorded them all down along with all the lyrics on top of all the notes.
I spent 3 days in the practice room, every minute I had to spare was all in the practice room to remember everything and ensuring it was all correct.
Once I had gone through it again for a quick run through, I was finally confident enough to show it to my classmates and they all quickly fell in love with the song, I saw the buzz and excitement in their faces as ideas were sprouting from each and every single one of them, ideas for instruments, ideas of the stage to be set out.
I also grew excited along with everyone else as everyone's cheery attitude boosted up as they all cheer happily before pouring out of the practice room to get started on it.
'I hope you'll be happy --- for this will all end very soon.'
