The pale and crescent color of the moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky.

As the man walks slowly into the street, You could hear his heartbeat loudly.

'Is there any other way to stop this?"

"I hope there is... but..."

"I need to help yuko even with or without your help. I need to save her Akari!"

"Don't rush Yui, I know what you feel towards yuko. But do you think that Mrs. Mizuki will listen to us we are just yuko's friends and still she is her mother."

"But Akari..."

"Yui you are not the only person who hurt in here, Yuko hurt here the most if you cherish your friendship let's make yuko decide."

"Akari... I love yuko and I don't want her to suffer anymore. I want her to be by my side, I want to save her this time, I know she's needing help this time."

"I want to save her too, Yui... "

=============

Saturday eight days before the school event starts.

Specks of dirt seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the window. Office workers having a nice newly brewed of coffee, Chit-chatting with each other. Teenagers taking pictures of the gorgeous yellowish color of the sunlight. Akari was waiting for the group to arrive inside the coffee shop.

"Why did you announce that there is a meeting today with such short notice?" Koharu asks Akari

"You better have a reason for it because I have to study. Or else I'm going to kill you." Yuki said

"Don't be so harsh miss Yuki, have a sit both of you, here have some coffee" Akari said

"so where is yui and yuko?" koharu ask

"They will be here soon..." Akari is patiently waiting for them to arrive

"All of us are here I want to share this with you all. Most likely related to our performance." Akari said

"I already make a composition to it, here I recorded it, You want to her miss Yuki and mister Koharu?"

"I'm glad too," Yuki said

"you better not messing with us Akari" Koharu replied

both of them hear the composition of Akari but Yui and Yuko didn't have a chance to listen.

"It was clear to me and I like to participate with it why do you say Koharu?"

"I think your composition will perfectly fit. Im on it akari" Koharu agreed

"What are you talking about? Is it really good?" Yui was curios

"Yes, you and I think it will benefit us all." Yuki calmly talking to Yui

"Anyways here is the script I made. We need manpower for the types of equipment, Koharu can we borrow the basketball club for this?" Yuki hands over the script and distributes it to them.

"Ohh sure I will ask them for some help, I've already talked to Michi and things are getting better."

"That's good to hear Koharu," Yuko said

"Akari looked at the sky and the stars are almost showing up. The meeting lasted for three hours and they plan to keep moving forward."

"I think we should better get going right now," Akari said

"Yeah you are right it was almost seven o'clock in the evening I need to get home," Yuki replied

All of them leave the coffee shop. And suddenly Mrs. Mizuki showed up waiting for Yuko outside the shop.

"We need to go home yuko."

"But mom..." Yuko is sweating, shaking when she saw her mom.

"Yuko do not be so stubborn listen to your mom. You need to go home with me right now!."

"Wait don't pull her hands like that Mrs. Mizuki"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Yui we are her friends and I know that she is hurt... Pls, let go of her hand please."

"Is that so...."
