"Minna-saaannn~"

"What is it Mii-chan?"

"Who's so loud in the morning?"

"Something wrong with the speech again?"

"When are we going to practice singing?"

"Did anybody see my chopsticks?"

"What should I wear to a chantou?"

"Hey guys, where are the decorations we prepared for the graduation day?"

"Why's everybody talking at the same time???"

It was a very hectic day and everybody has SOMETHING to say.

"Can you guys quiet down first?" Maririn said.

"Yeah. You're just making yourselves confused" I said.

Everybody quiet down in an instant and started listening to what we want to say. In fact, they sat in their own seats and paid full attention, with wide eyes and a serious face. Honestly, it was kind of funny.

"Relax guys, we were just telling you guys to talk one at a time. You know, like when the sensei tells you to raise your hand before saying something" I said, chuckling.

"That's right. We were thinking of practicing today afer school. Can you guys make it?" Maririn asked.

"I'll come if you treat me lunch" Sayaka said. Erepyon and Jurina nodded their heads, agreeing with Sayaka. Soon everybody was supporting Sayaka. Maririn and I could only shake our heads and laugh.

"Of course we can't do that. We're not that rich you know. Baka!" I said to them while laughing.

"So you won't treat us?" Tomochin pouted.

"Gomen, minna..." Maririn said.

It was after school and the bell just rung. We quickly packed up and bowed to the teacher. After that, we all went to the music room to practice the song we're going to sing. And for Mii-chan to practice her speech. Up front was Yuko who was leading the way. We arrived at the room and we put our bags aside.

"Minna, let's practice!" "Hai!"

We started practicing the song we were going to sing.

The area by the classroom window
Is warm and sunny
Not much time left on the spring calendar
When I look around in class
All my friends
Wearing the same uniform
Look grown-up
We’re all going to set out
To our respective futures
We have
The wings of dreams
On our backs
When the cherry blossom petals bloom
I can hear the bells of hope ringing somewhere
Giving us the freedom and courage
Of tomorrow
When the cherry blossom petals bloom
Someone is surely praying somewhere
To open the door to a new world with their own hands
There were times when we fought
And cried on the phone
For some reason I’m nostalgic
For the stressful days
When I look back, both my joy and sadness
Have left a road I was never
Alone I smile In our graduation photo I want to watch 
The seasons go by
Goodbye Petals of tears fall
Down my cheeks as I walk away
As I look up at the blue sky
And take a big, deep breath
Petals of tears fall
As beautiful as my memories
Let’s wave as we walk up the stairway to adulthood together
When the cherry blossom petals bloom
I can hear the bells of hope ringing somewhere
Giving us the freedom and courage
Of tomorrow
When the cherry blossom petals bloom
Someone is surely praying somewhere
To open the door to a new world with their own hands
Petals of tears fall
Down my cheeks as I walk away
As I look up at the blue sky
And take a big, deep breath
Petals of tears fall
As beautiful as my memories
Let’s wave as we walk up the stairway to adulthood together

"Souka, souka!" shouted Mii-chan. She really is hyped about this.

"We did great you guys!" Takayuko said.

We high-fives and fist bumped each other and headed home. Halfway there I got a call from Takamina.

"Acchan~ I'm thinking of singing the other song too. The ones that You, Yuko, Mii-chan, Harunyan, Tomochin, I, and the others sang. I'm sure it would be fun! You can ride the boat this time too!"

"That would be fun... Let's practice tomorrow." I said.

"Hai! Dewa mata Acchaaann~" With that I flipped my phone and slid it into my pocket. I strode home with a smile on my face.

"That song, huh?"
