"You really are going to audition with that song Suzuka?"
It has already been a week since the entire student body received the invitation to audition for the biggest and most successful band of high school- Prevail High- and on the huge theatre stood about three-hundred freshmen and two hundred Second and Third years. It was only for batch one.
"Sure." Suzuka replied as they approached the registration table and wrote the both of their names there.
"Both of you are amazing for having guts entering this audition! Do your best and don't forget me once you're famous. By the way, my shoe size is 8 and my favorite color is black. I like chocolates as well!" Camie said as she showed them her well-made banner for her friends. Shiro and Suzuka looked at her with bawling eyes, attempting to cry for the heart-felt support.
"You really are the best!" Suzuka and Shiro said as they hugged her tightly.
[Please assemble according to your numbers.]
"Crap! They are already calling for the contestants! Camie! Watch us and be amazed!" Suzuka said and ran with Shiro on her arms. Camie, on the other hand, waved her banner up high with said expression on her face.
---------[Must be nice… having guts like that.]---------
"Expecting someone from the auditionees?"
At the backstage, after the huge red curtain that separated them from the stage were the members of the Prevail High preparing for the commencement of their much-awaited auditions- while Kuu was busy scanning the crowd for someone. For the past week, he had been trying to hunt down the girl he saw on the old music room and he knew everyone was aware of it- sadly, she wasn't on the crowd yet.
"Yep. I was. Come on Satori, aren't you looking for some people as well?" Kuu teased.
"You bet I am!" Satori said and took Kuu away from the curtain and slipped his eye on his place. Kuu laughed it off and gazed at his enthralled bandmates, however, he couldn't avert his thoughts from her- if she was real or if she was a ghost because when he tried to ask the other students whether they saw a pretty girl, white as porcelain, straight-haired, green-eyed, and pretty tall but smaller than him, everyone just tried to set him up with someone who matched the characteristics he said. If she was a ghost, then she was a pretty ghost, but what a sad thing she's already dead.
"Hey, you okay?"
Kuu flinched as he was suddenly called out by a frail voice. He looked at her and smiled wide, trying to conceal his thumping heart after remembering Anonymous.
"Oh, hey, Naza! I-I'm fine! By the way, were you from the audience?" Kuu asked and Nazarene smiled at him.
"Yep, in fact, two of my juniors are there to audition. I couldn't be happier!" Nazarene said and sparkles seemed to appear from her eyes. But just as she was about to go, Kuu caught her sleeve and shyly asked.
"Uhm… was there someone oddly beautiful there? I-I mean straight-haired [Yes, there are lots of them]- oh, is that so- what about green-eyed [How am I supposed to look at their eyes and remember the colors you idiot] Oh yeah right. Tall but smaller than me [Seriously are you insane]- how about a porcelain ski-"
"Ready now? Contestants are all set divided by their acts. First, drums, guitar, dance, flute, piano, bass, violin then vocals." Murase, their adviser said and interrupted Kuu's interrogation.
"Sorry Kuu, but, rest assured, I know you will find her. I hope." Nazarene said and tapped his droopy shoulders- and Kuu nodded sadly. Nazarene lined up and Satori pulled Kuu down the line as the lights dimmed.
"What's with you spacing out and looking depressed asf when you are going to face tons of chicks admiring you from afar?" Satori said with a smug smile which made Kuu glare at him. "Waah. Scary!"
"You have a terrible personality." Kuu told him while Satori just laughed at his remark, taking his statement as a compliment.

"Hi everyone! Are you ready?" the members of the official band stepped onto the stage and the people who'd audition erupted in cheers as they looked at the cool personalities on stage. "We are very happy to be with you today and we are looking forward to hearing and seeing all your acts! I am Yume, your main vocal"
"Satori, Drums!"
"Naza, Vocal,"
"Jiro, Vocal,"
"Satowa, vocal,"
"Kota or Kuu, Guitar,"
"Josef, Violin"
"ABCDE, Flute,"
"Karina, Dance head,"
"Light, piano,"
"and Hope on Bass!"
"SAIL THE SKY! WE ARE PREVAIL HIGH! NICE TO MEET YOU, SMILE!"
If someone from outside, who doesn't know about the audition, he or she will be invoked to think that people inside the theatre were hostages because of the sudden outburst of different voices easily misunderstood. The auditionees themselves held banners and cheered for Prevail High, almost using up all their voices in exchange of doing so. Yume held her fist high and everyone stopped making noises to listen to them with anticipation.
"Let the MUSIC begin!"
