Morning soon approached and the second day at school for Aoi and Chiyoko soon began. As the limousine stopped by the school's gate, it gained pretty much the same overwhelming attentions like yesterday. It seemed that this will go on for quite some while though. "Well, I'm heading up first since I'm having duty today. Have fun at your class, nii-chan." The pink-haired girl said to her brother and made her way up to her class.
When Aoi stepped down of the limousine, he immediately saw that Akihiro was hopping towards him, with another girl walking behind him. "Good morning, Tsuna-san, what's up?" He politely asked as the younger boy told him his invitation to join the Orchestra club, saying that it won't hinder his activities at Instruments club since any activities are only held once on Tuesday. The girl then gave Aoi the application. Gazing over the boy and then the application, Aoi then replied, "I will check my schedule first and tell you guys about my decision later. Thanks for the invitation, anyway."
As the bell rang, Aoi quietly walked his way up to his class while not trying to bump into anyone and completely ignored the exciting and admired looks from the students. While he was walking, he quietly thought about Akihiro's offer and skimmed through the application, which is just similar to the one he filled yesterday to join Instruments Club. It's true that he doesn't have to perform while he's still studying and it would give him a chance to observe how musical activities going on around this school. I guess it wouldn't hurt joining another club.
The morning lessons went on peacefully without any fusses. The class was as energetic as ever, but all Aoi did is just focusing on what the teachers teach them. Some of the students sitting next to him exchanged a couple of sentences with him and he could noticed that Akihiro was glancing at him for times to times, and of course, with a grin each time. Out of every member of Class 3-A, it seemed that the boy pay attention him the most. But Aoi didn't mind much though, as he'd pretty much gotten used to being noticed. Though he was quite intrigued - again, by the way he casually addresses him.
When it was lunch break, Aoi sat at a rather hidden table and continued with composing his unfinished piece while enjoying a bowl of hot, spicy mapo tofu. Chiyoko and Naoki are having lunch with their clubs right now so he was all alone again. There aren't many people sitting in the cafeteria so Aoi doesn't have to worry about receiving their admired gazes.
"Shimizu-senpai." Minori carried her tray of food and approached Aoi, gaining his attention, "Would you mind if I sit here?"
"Sure, not a problem." Aoi said while making space for the younger girl. She sat down on the opposite with him as they went on with their lunches while began to converse quite casually.
"I heard Kanzaki-san who is the president of the Orchestra Club said that she invited you to join her club. It's not like I'm curious but have you made the decision?" Minori raised the question as she took a sip from her soup.
"Oh, that?" Aoi looked up to the black-haired girl, "Well, I was thinking that perhaps it wouldn't hurt joining another club. Plus, they didn't seem to have frequent activities like we do and it seemed that they're in need of pianists too, I've already filled the application too. Is there any problem with it?"
"No, it's nothing. Instruments Club often collaborate with their club in a couple of performances before. So I can say that we have quite a good relationship." Minori said, "Though I must say I'm quite jealous of them, Orchestra Club has always been a popular club around Miyagi, and Akihiro-kun was the reason. Now that you're joining them, I'm sure they'll gain even more attention. It's not like I'm saying that you're influential or anything, but there are already a couple of applications for our club after you joined." She chuckled.
"That couldn't be helped, I guess. It's more or less a 'curse' when you've accepted to become a public figure." Aoi shrugged, "So, can you tell me a little about the members of Instruments club?"
"I can say that they're all talented and they have the passion with their instruments. We're not as popular as Orchestra Club, but our performances have always receive positive feedback from everyone. However, since we're a bit shorting of members at the moment, I think everyone isn't motivated enough so their spirits had been down." Minori sighed, "It was lucky that you've joined though. I've always admired how straightforward you are so I hope you can help us to improve our strengths more."
"It would be my pleasure, Minori-san. No one is perfect and who knows whether even I can learn from all of you. It's been a while since I actually got to work with a considerate person like you. To be honest, I've had the first impression of the club members as a frantic bunch, but I can rest assure now that they've got a capable president." Aoi said with a light smile.
"Everyone would have thought the same. I always have to be strict to them to put them in order, but we're always as close as a family, so I hope you can get on well with them too." Minori tilted her head with a smile.
After having finished his lunch, Aoi excused Minori and made his way towards the Orchestra Club room. Knocking the door, Aoi was then greeted by the president, Yuki. "Hello, Kanzaki-san. Here's my application." He gave her the piece of paper and she looked as if she could jump in excitement. Gazing inside the room, it seemed that Akihiro wasn't there. The school bell rang and Aoi excused himself to went back to his class.
