Chapter Text
"They're so pretty, it hurts. I'm not talking โbout boys; I'm talking โbout girlsโ"
Wiping away a few tears that had fallen, you picked up your phone and answered it.
"Hello?"
"I'm outside your window. I'm going to need your help, though."
Your eyes widened as you made your way to the window. Your gaze landed on a familiar figure, and you facepalmed.
"Girl..."
"If you don't come and help me right now..."
"Okay! Okay, give me a minute, Kyo."
"That's what I thought.โ
After a few minutes of struggling, you finally got Kyoka and her things up from your window, surprisingly without waking up your step-siblings in their rooms since your dad and stepmom were out at a concert. You closed your window as silently as you could before turning back to your best friend to see her already sitting on the ground beside your bed, her guitar next to her and her computer open on the opposite side, with a microphone connected to it. As you approached her, you noticed a familiar sparkly pink notebook with sparkly star stickers all over the front. You gasped as she handed you the notebook.
"There's no way... You kept it? I thought I told you to get rid of it a while ago..." You sat on the edge of your bed, flipping through the pages. Lyrics, sheet music, concert outfit designs, and makeup looks filled the pages from top to bottom. Your gaze moved from the notebook to Kyoka, who stared at you with an unknown glint in her eye and a soft magenta aura around her.
"Well... I couldn't let my girl's hard work go to waste, now could I? Sure. Maybe the songs you've put out so far didn't exactly take off, but it happens to most artists." She gave you a soft smile that you gladly returned before she grabbed her guitar and looked up at you again. "Plus, I know singing makes you feel better when you're down."
Your smile dropped as you looked away from her and hugged yourself. You were too focused on something else that you had forgotten about her. Kyoka placed a comforting hand on your leg and spoke up.
โYou donโt have to. We could just listen to music, watch movies, or whatever you want,โ Kyoka tried comforting you, but your mind was flooded with memories. She sighed defeatedly and rested her hands on her guitar. You reopened your notebook, sitting on the floor next to her.
โHow do you know me so well?โ You asked her with a small smile as you turned a new page. She spoke up. โDo you want to write about it?โ
โNo, Iโd rather notโฆโ Kyoka nodded and almost put her guitar down when you started speaking up again. โFor now, at least, I want to sing about something else.โ
Time skip
You both grinned widely as you finished listening to the new song youโd made. The sky was now illuminated by the sun, and birds chirped outside your window, indicating that it was morning. You both looked at the time on your phones that read โ6:23โ before glancing at each other and bursting out laughing. Your laughter was quickly stopped by footsteps approaching your room.
โOh shitโhide!โ You whispered to Kyoka. She sped toward the closet, guitar in hand. You closed the computer and turned off the microphone, hiding it under a blanket. You snatched the notebook and placed it under your pillow before lying down on your bed in an awkward position to make it as believable as possible that you were asleep.
Just in time, you both heard a knock at the door.
โY/n?โ your stepsister Krystal called out for you outside your door. You and Kyoka suppressed a laugh as you โwoke upโ.
โYeah?....โ You sat up, wiping the 'sleep' away. Krystal walked in and leaned against your doorway.
โWake up, sleepyhead. U.A. Entrance exams are today at 8. I'm shocked you weren't awake already.โ You had never woken up so fast in your life. You had been too busy crying and then singing to even realize the U.A. entrance exams were today.
You cursed under your breath. You got up, putting your slippers on and giving her a thanks. She laughed and started walking out when she turned around to tell you something.
โI made protein waffles and a banana milkshake by the way, it's on the counter. Ohโ and before I forget,โ She turned to you with a smirk. โTell Kyoka to come out of the closet already and I left her a plate on the counter too.โ
