I pressed the green 'book' label from the app 'Taxi!' And stated that arriving at 20 minutes I checked the time and it's 6:52 Am in the morning. I and my music teacher announced the time of the performance is at 8:30 Am. Wearing my light black suit makes me feel proud already and felt that I just came out of the stage.

"Here Itsuki-Kun" Hayate-Kun gave me a bracelet the sides of the bracelet are rough and burnt looks like used many times, but it looks clean and familiar...

"Lucky charm?" I finished observing.

"Yeah although it is burnt and used it can still bring out luck" Hayate replied.
re
"Where did you get this?" I questioned him out of my curiosity.

{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}

A bright light shines onto my eyes thing so bright that I could see it when my eyes are closed. I lit up my eyes seeing my parents shouting "Doctor!".

The Doc came and examined me about my condition. Doc asked me if I have any pain at my body I replied with "none". I couldn't remember what happened when I was launched onto the floor. After Doc examined me he announced that I am fine and I would be released today.

My parents were very happy about the news and asked if I needed food and water. I replied with a desperate 'Yes'.

As I was consuming what my parents gave me. Mom raced her hand on the handbag reaching out something on her handbag. Mom pulled out a bracelet that is half-burned with its sides rough nothing about this bracelet is that It has a beautiful mixture between Blue and Brown.

"Your friend Daiki gave me this and was believed to be yours, Is this yours?" Mom questioned me.

"No Mom..." I unclaimed.

"Then who could be the owner of this?" Mom replied.

On that day I was now the owner of that bracelet with its owner unknown then it became my lucky charm bracelet giving way for multiple lucky events that happened in my life.

{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}

"So you pretty much stole it?" I asked.

"Half yes and no" Hayate shoots back.

I give him a pat on Hayate-Kun's right shoulder "Thanks man".

"No problem man, You look great in that suit" He admired my suit.

"Yeah I brought it from online by this guy named Zet Anderson" I replied.

"He did have 5-star reviews so it's legit" I added.

"Yup it's legit alright" Hayate admired.

The sound of the door sliding open cuts out my conversation with Hayate-Kun. I and Hayate turned to our right towards the origin of the sound.

Came to my sight a beautiful human being in a short light gray dress that is perfect for her. She is wearing a pink hairpin left side of her hair stopping some blue hair fall onto her blueberry eyes. Her make up is barely visible although she has a slight red lipstick onto her lips that suits her well. Even without makeup, she is beautiful. Hayate and I are drooling by Emi-San's beauty. While Miya-san is standing beside Emi-San shoulders.

She is so beautiful I felt like I am the luckiest guy in the world to have her.

"Let's go?" She curved her lips and closed her eyes giving way a cute smile cutting out my thoughts about her beauty.

I and Hayate quickly stood up from the couch and professionally fixed my tie.

"Let's go, Princess" I gave her a smirk causing her face to go slightly red.

She approached me slowly then wrapping her arms at my right arm. This caused Miya-San and Hayate-Kun to have romantic excitement. Then moderately heading to the exit door of Hayate-Kun and Miya-San's dorm. Before I and Emi-San leave we thanked the couple for the help that they gave us for the preparation of our outfits.

When we arrived at the taxi stand Emi-San continued to hug my right arm limb to the point where people started treating us a cute couple.

"How cute a fresh fair of young lovebirds" An Uncle in his 70's with his 70's wife beside him admired us.

As they pass the Uncle's wife gave another reply at us "She is quite the beauty"

Soon they vanished into our sights. We were ok with people calling us a couple it's not the "first time" that happened.

"Tell me Itsuki-Kun" I turned my head onto her glancing onto her crystal Blue eyes.

"Did the old Emi-San and you encountered the same exact words that we just heard?" She questioned me.

"Yes, I remember our friends congratulating us because we became a couple" I answered.

"Is that so?" She then quit hugging my arm and instead holds my right hand.

This caused me to blush and had that romance excitement. We were both blushing out of embarrassment. Then the cab that I ordered came to the Taxi stand and then parked in front of us.

I let go of Emi-San's hand and opened the door for her. She went in and sat onto the backseat I closed the door gently in front of her then went to the other side opening the door for myself then closing it.

The driver then stepped on the accelerator and drive towards our location. Silence filled the room and now trapped onto my thoughts.

Will all the members be present? Will we win? Or lose? Did I memorize all the guitar notes? I was anxious. Emi-San is calm she is not showing any signs of anxiousness nor anything negative. Maybe it's just me...

"You guys a couple?" The mid 20's driver named 'Nick' questioned us.

"No," I and Emi-San said in Unison.

"Oh... for a second I thought you guys are another cute couple" Nick replied.

"It reminds me of someone actually..." Nick added.

We had a conversation with Nick telling him about our performance at the auditorium. Before Nick could tell that someone we already arrived at the auditorium. I and Emi-San thanked Nick for driving us to the auditorium.

"Hey! Good luck you two I hope you guys win" Nick gave his words of encouragement.

"Thanks, man!" I replied

"Thanks, Nick!" Emi-San added.

Soon he drove off the auditorium and never to be seen... What a Nice guy he is.

I and Emi-San went inside of the auditorium It was 7:21 and we had to regroup at the backstage of the auditorium. When I and Emi-San entered the Auditorium we were greeted by staff and directed us to the backstage.

After staff directed us to the backstage we were greeted by 4 more music club teams. The schools that we were going to fight with is Jindai Senior High, Koganei Kita Senior High, Kurume Senior High, and Kiyose Senior High. I examined the crowd looking for our team eventually we had to ask the staff where our team was.

The staff knew where our team was placed and directed us to them. While walking people started murmuring about Me and Emi-San it is giving me anxiousness, but I suppressed it and continued on.

When we arrived where the staff directed us we were greeted by our music teacher and my Club mates. They were all chilling because we all have memorized what we are supposed to do at the final act.

"Hey, Itsuki and Emi-San did you guys memorized the notes that I gave you?" Sir Akimasa questioned.

"Yes we did it with Xenophon and Frank on the dorm building roof about yesterday after school" I answered.

"That is great! But remember about my speech yesterday it doesn't matter if we lose or win at least we tried our best and have fun" Sir Akimasa reminded us about the speech yesterday about our performance.

"Yes Sir," We both replied in Unison.

Soon Sir Akimasa was called by staff to have a discussion about the event he then went to where the staff was directing him. I and Emi-San sat onto our respective places in which we would wait for the start of the event or practice.

"Good morning! Mates" Xenophon greeted us.

"Good morning!" Emi-San replied.

We then sat down onto our places "So have you guys memorized the notes that we practiced yesterday?" I questioned them.

"Yup," They answered in Unison.

"I can't believe we are going to fight the three best high schools in Tokyo" Frank added.

"Well I mean we are also enrolled in one of the most intelligent schools in Tokyo so it's reasonable why we are going to fight them" I commented.

"I don't know if we will win this..." Xenophon replied.

I placed my right hand onto his left shoulder "Hey it doesn't matter if we lose at least we tried our best" Then gave him a pat on where I placed my hand reassuring him and reminding him about the speech that Sir Akimasa gave.

"You're right thanks mate" Xenophon replied.

Sir Akimasa then rushed to us and disrupted our conversation "Alright guys! Prepare we are going to be the first to perform! Remember your training back at school and remember our meeting yesterday!" Sir reassured us then standing up wearing my electric guitar.

Why are we going to be first!? I was expecting us to perform on third why!? I was a nervous wreck trying to calm myself down my hands trembling out of my nervousness. I then felt a soft, warm, and smooth hand like object It was Emi-San hand holding mine calming down my nerves.

I turned my eyes onto her "It's alright at least we tried" She then smiled eliminating the remaining anxiousness from my brain.

I smiled back and slightly tighten up the grip of her hand smiling "Thank you".

The guitars are not that heavy that it is supposed to be, it feels light and slim.

"Welcome everyone to 2020 Music Wars! I'm Stacy Sato from Johtoh Senior High school" Stacy introduced.

"And I'm Jeremy Yuuta from Jindai Senior Highschool and welcome to 2020 Music Wars!" Jeremy added.

The crowd of students started to cheer and screaming for their school band's name.

"Alright! Now the schools that would be fighting are Jindai Senior Highschool" Stacy announced then the Jindai students screamed and chanted.

"Next is! Koganei Kita Senior High!" Jeremy added then students from Koganei screamed and chanted.

"Then Johtoh Senior High! Wooooooo!" Stacy screamed with the rest of my batchmates chanting our school's name.

"Kurume Senior High! and Kiyose Senior High!" Jeremy Announced then the two groups were screaming and chanting louder than the previous chants.

"The competition hasn't been started yet and students are now screaming their lungs out" Stacy commented.

"You're right Stacy-San the crowd should be saving their voices for the first contestant to play on the stage!" Jeremy added causing the crowd to scream.

"But before that Jeremy, we should introduce the judges for today's competition" Stacy-San added.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that" Jeremy replied.

"The Judges from today are from The University of Tokyo!" Stacy added.

"That's right Stacy! They are all professional music teachers that would be rating our performers!" Jeremy added.

"Now the prizes for the competition" Stacy announced.

"The First place prize would have a gold trophy and a free tuition fee for this school year for all of the performers and an additional 100000 Yen" Stacy added.

After hearing that, some of the students inside the backstage started murmuring about the prize. My nervousness came back to me but was suppressed by Emi-San's warm and soft hand.

"The Second place prize would have a silver trophy and 100000 Yen!" Stacy added.

Students from the other school started murmuring about who would win"

"Third place prize would have the Bronze trophy and 50000 Yen!" Stacy added.

"Now all being said we shall start the competition!" Jeremy announced.

The Students from the Auditorium shouted and chanted their school's name making a lot of sound inside the Auditorium.

"May I present to you! The Batch of 2020 Couple of Johtoh High!" Stacy announced causing my batchmates to scream out their lungs out of romantic excitement. The other students inside the backstage looked onto us and noticed us holding hands. We both blushed out of embarrassment cursing out Stacy.

"The Johtoh High Music Club!" Stacy added.

I and the rest of the Johtoh Music club came out from the side of the backstage. My batchmates continued screaming and chanting, but we didn't mind that. I and Emi-San let go of our hands as we go to our respective position.

Our band contains 4 guitarists, 1 drummer, 6 trumpeters, 5 Violinists, and one conductor. Although some of the club members didn't get in because they only knew piano and other instruments that the event doesn't have. Instead, the others that were not joined they get to watch it amongst the crowd.

The students slowly went silent waiting for us to play the song that we chose to play. I begin to sweat nervously looking at my clubmates. I gazed onto the conductor and nodded a sign of which "Start,".

Play this song before reading below to understand what are they doing.

I would like to share this song since I loved this song from Akane and it fits this scene.

The once silent auditorium was replaced by the sound of all our instruments simultaneously playing according to plan and it is perfect.

The students from the other schools started cheering for us especially from our school. All of us performing were smiling knowing that everyone is already cheering for us at the start.

14 seconds into the song I and Emi-San quit playing the guitar letting Xenophon and Frank play it.
I sang out my first part that was planned.

"You've woken up! Well, it's about time! I've been waiting for so long... What's wrong? Why won't you look me in the eye?" I sang the first verse. Singing at the stage has never been my dream, but it felt good just singing that first verse.

" 'You're late," you say... Well, sorry 'bout that! I got lost upon my way, but hey, I got here quickly as I can!" Emi-San sang before pausing to lead the second verse.

"My heart raced before my brain to you! I've never felt it beat so fast!" She leads.

"Just the sight of your hair's shine, the Sparkle in your eyes it makes my chest heat up!" My voice quickly moved in and added it.

"We're breathin' the same air in! The same moment! I never wanna' let it go!" She snatched.

"It's a voice I'd never heard before...
until it showed up one day!" I quickly steal.

"A time before the light was born!
What am I supposed to say?" I added.

"So many days, years, lives, lifetimes ago, I think I found something that I never knew!" She leads.

"I've traveled the galaxies, but somehow that smile I see upon your face, it led me right to you!" She added.

"So many pieces disappear to the wind, and when we're scattered to the air! I know it's not the end! You're still somewhere out there, and I'll wait for you 'til then!" I added.

"Or maybe I can fly to the ends of the sky and start the universe over again?" I and Emi-san played the guitar again simultaneously playing with the rest of the band. We all caught the cheer of all the students from the different schools.

"Okay, you're here... Now, where do I start?
From the time you were asleep, or every moment that we've been apart?" She leads.

"So many things that I'd like to say! Stories worth a thousand light-years, or at least enough to fill the space!" I lead.

"I just wanna' play around, your head's up in the clouds, you're like a shining star!" She leads.

"I just wanna' love your pain! The scars that never fade, they make you who you are!" I lead.

"You and I have met before! A memory so far away!" I added.

"But when I take that hand of yours... I know I can't make you stay..." She added.

"So many days, years, lives, lifetimes ago, I felt like I lost something I never knew!" I lead.

"I've seen many miles of tears, but somehow that laugh I hear above the rest, it led me right to you!" I added, then turned my head onto her bright crystal blue eyes then creating a curve onto my lips.

My batchmates started screaming and cheering about our band's name having an aneurysm out of romantic excitement.

"So many things could change in one night alone! Together, we could make
our lives our own!" She leads, then glances back onto my brown eyes curving her lips into a smile.

"I'll never lose my way! No, never again, you'll stay in my heart eternally!" She added.

"And I will struggle beautifully, forever and every day until you return to me!" She added, then we quit staring and turned our heads back to the audience smiling.

We played our guitars joining with the Violinists and trumpeters creating this synchronize tone and a fun one.

"Waooohhh" Frank and Xenophon sang their part, while I am clapping my hands onto the air with Emi-San taking over my guitar solo.

We were all smiling and laughing by the sound of the tone and forgot that we are performing in front of the judges. Sir Akimasa is also having fun laughing and smiling throughout this part.

Then a short pause for all of the instruments except the drummer. Ikaru does his drum solo for this part, then. All of us except the Violinists and the trumpeters jumped with Sir Akimasa.

"Days, years, lives, and all of our time, I found what we've been looking for all along!" I and Emi-San sync our voices into this part. All the instruments played at once creating this fun and rock tone.

"A smile so innocent!" I lead.

"Laughter so different!" She added.

"Who knew that it could play this kind of song!" We sang out.

"So many pieces disappear to the years, but even if you fade away!" We added.

"I know it's not the end!" She leads.

"You're still somewhere out there, and" I added.

"I'll wait for you 'til then!" She snatches.

"I'll hum our tune for centuries, for all of eternity, until I see you again!" We sang the last part.

All of us played all the instruments at once for the last time. Ending it with all of the trumpeters and Violinists creating a loud and glorious tone.

The crowd cheered onto us even the judges stood up and clapped for us. I glance into Emi-San and she was smiling and crying. I am as well.
