While everyone moved their chairs out onto the roof terrace, Hiro helped bring out the cleaning supplies and a couple of the larger instruments. It didn't take long to set up, and the club members chatted amongst each other while they waited, most commonly about difficult notes and instrument tuning. Hiro plopped down in his seat with a sigh, rolling up the sleeves of the white hooded sweatshirt he wore underneath his uniform. It was warm out, so most of the members had taken off their blazers to enjoy the weather. Looking towards Yuki and Aoi, Hiro silently eavesdropped on their conversation. XXX
"Ah, that's right...well, most of the members don't actually use sheet music, since we usually memorize the notes instead, so I'll have to try and find someone who has the pages..." Yuki looked through her music folder with a disgruntled expression, and Hiro took the chance to be a hero, handing her his own music folder. "Oh! You can use these then, I suppose." With a smile, Yuki handed the folder to Aoi and walked off without another word. Hiro grinned at his blue-haired classmate and leaned forward lazily, using his violin case for support. "You can keep those if you want~" XX
Yuki then announced the piece that they would be trying out: Mozart's 'Divertimento'. They only played a short version of the song before moving on to a couple of others, after each one discussing whether or not it would be good enough for a judged concert. Two or three songs were voted off of the list for being too simple or too bland or even too over-played, but at the end of rehearsal, the list was still long. "Well, I guess we'll just have to narrow it down more next week. If you need to take a school-issued instrument home be sure to sign it out. See ya'll tomorrow!" Yuki said, laughing. XXX
"I have to get to work, so I'm going ahead! See you tomorrow!" Hiro waved to his classmates as he left, hopping down the stairs at a quick pace and hoping his parents weren't too busy without him. The street by his family's shop was always closed on Mondays, so there were fewer customers, and today the usual crowds would be back. His parents still had to make deliveries and would have to close the store every time they did if he wasn't there. XX
"Hiro!" The moment he walked in the door, his mother was there, holding a box of tambourines and her car keys with one hand, purse in the other. "Perfect timing! I have to make a last-minute delivery to an Elementary school, and we have an important customer coming in about fifteen minutes, so I need you to watch the store. Hopefully I'll get back before they get here, but if not, could you take care of the purchase?" Hiro nodded and gave his mom a thumbs up, dropping his stuff behind the counter as she rushed out the door and sped off. "I wonder who's so important..." XX

I was thinking perhaps Aoi's staff needed him to buy a new piano or get his fixed? Hiro's family does repairs and stuff like that. Also, the Tsuno store has a six-month warranty thing on all the instruments they sell, so if it breaks, they'll fix it for free (more excuses for Aoi and Hiro to see each other).
