My soul, your rhythm!

The day had started so incredibly well. I'd been up all night playing video games, then going to sleep at five, only to be woken up at six. Man. How I hated it all. Couldn't someone finally develop a dangerous virus so that everyone can turn into zombies and I can save the world? Or build a gigantic bomb and blow up the White House? I fell asleep with thoughts like that. Man. I was a weird guy.
The incredibly annoying sound of my alarm clock woke me up that morning. Annoyed, I turned to the side to go back to sleep. ,, Araragi, are you still not awake? "I heard my mother calling from below." No, of course not ... "I replied sarcastically and sat up. Man, I had a headache. I sipped into the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror. The same Araragi as always, with the same tired, annoyed facial expression and the same messy hairstyle. I sighed. ,, Araragi! ", my mother shouted a little more energetically." Yes! What is it ?! "I shouted annoyed and pulled on my T-shirt and jeans. ,,What is it? ", I asked again and trotted down the stairs." You're late ... ", smiled my mother and pointed to the clock. ,,Crap! "I mumbled, stuffing a pancake in my mouth and scurrying through the door.
I ran down the street. Damn! Hibiko would tear me apart if I was late again. The train only went once an hour and I'm sure she didn't want to mess up the math on her own. ,,There you are! ", I heard her voice behind me." Hibiko. Um, we're late, so ... "I mumbled. ,,Let's go. ", answered Hibiko, swung the bag over his shoulder and trotted along next to me." If we hurry, Arisu will also be on the train. ", I smiled at my friend, who immediately looked a bit sniffed. "Arisu has been in school for a long time, because she is sensible and doesn't sleep until shortly before eight like other people ..." Hibiko laughed and grinned nastily in my direction. I groaned annoyed, I hated her sarcasm., "The train ...", Hibiko stopped and followed the train with her eyes, which started slowly. "Great, it's gone ...", I mumbled and leaned my head back. The sky was really blue, and it was winter. We had a mild fourteen degrees, no snow. "Come on, let's run ... ", Hibiko nudged me. "Uh, yes of course ...", I mumbled a little dazed and followed her. Hibiko had that special, determined look. She always looked happy and trustworthy, everyone ate out of her hand.
We strolled comfortably along a dirt road, everything was still rather cloudy, the sun had only just risen and the birds were hanging limply on the branches of some cherry blossoms. "We'll be late ..." Hibiko smiled at me."Mh, what if ...", I said and my eyes touched the sky again. "You know, Aki ...", Hibiko smiled and hooked herself up to me. ,, You shouldn't call me Aki ... ", I groaned annoyed. ,, ... you are already somewhere else with your thoughts ...", she finished her sentence and looked at me with her big, blue eyes . I looked at her school uniform, which was far too short, and looked to the side. I was flushed. For a moment, all you could hear was my heart beating and I felt quite uncomfortable. ,, Aki? ". ,, Uh, it occurs to me ...", I pushed around. ,,Hm? "." I still have two tickets for the Omibosu concert next week, so ... "I added. “Do we want to go there together? ", she beamed at me." Sure, so ... we can do ... ", I answered neutrally. Hibiko smiled and her eyes looked even brighter than usual. "Oh, it occurs to me, didn't you want to join Musik AG in the next six months?" "." Hm? Yes ... ", she replied. "So you still want to be a singer ..." "Of course, why should I give up this dream so suddenly?" She laughed.
After a while we stood in front of our school. "We're going to be late for the morning meeting, Nakao-Sensei will give us detention ...", Hibiko sighed and looked at me a little lost. "Mh.", I just said and looked at the meeting room. The doorbell rang, Hibiko started, winced. While I was busy spotting Arisu among all the unimportant students storming out. Arisu was in high school, and although I had never spoken to her, she kept impressing me. Like last year, when she organized a huge school party all by herself. Yes, everyone liked Arisu. Me too. I think that at times I annoyed Hibiko with my infatuation. And then I saw her. She walked elegantly with her thin legs, her schoolbooks in her arms and with a slight smile. Suddenly she stopped and looked around, scrutinizing everyone very carefully. Arisu was Head Girl, and she was seventy-eight votes ahead of Hibiko. I think that was another reason why Hibiko didn't like her. I winced. ,,What is? "Hibiko asked immediately." S-She's coming here ... "I stuttered. ,, Hibiko? ", her voice sounded incredibly soft." Hm? "Hibiko said awkwardly. ,, Nakao-Sensei asked me you and, um ... ", she looked at me briefly. ,, ... to order him to his office.". Super. She didn't even know my name, and quite apart from the fact that she was two years older than me, I had no chance to tell her my name, because Arisu had already disappeared down the next gear. "Snipe ...", she mumbled, grabbed my hand and marched to the office of Keiichi Nakao, our hated director. Hibiko's hand was quite warm, and somehow that irritated me. "What?", her voice sounded angry." N-nothing. ". She sighed, stopped and pounded on the sheet metal door of Nakao's office. ,, Aha, there you are! Too late for the third time in a row! ". ,,We are sorry.". Yikes Where was Hibiko's determination all of a sudden? “Do you have any of your cheap excuses? ". ,, Yes, well I mean no, well I mean ...", I was totally screwed up again. "... We missed the train ...", Hibiko finished my sentence. "Oh, now it's the train's fault again, huh? Well, if that's the case, you can attend the holiday class from tomorrow. ", Nakao grinned nastily. "Vacation-", I stuttered and looked at Hibiko. "- Lessons ?!", she finished my sentence again. "Are you kidding us !? ", we shouted in unison." Now shift down a gear, you guys are real lovers. ", laughed Nakao. ,, LOVE COUPLE ?! ". And again we had replied in chorus." You can't send us to vacation lessons, d-that's inhuman! ", Hibiko shouted and had a really serious look in his eyes. Nakao sighed. "Since the Japanese don't celebrate Christmas anyway, dear Hibiko, it's quite human." I bit my lip and looked at Nakao. With his disheveled hairstyle and the deep wrinkles on his forehead, he was kind of like a geriatric nurse. Hibiko wanted to throw more things at Nakao, but I put my hand on her shoulder and gave her a weak smile. She sighed. "Let's go ..." I mumbled in a disparaging voice and looked deep into Nakao Eyes. Super. He seemed to know how shit I thought he was. I yanked the door open and Arisu was right in front of me. I felt myself blushing. "Can I just ...", Arisu mumbled and pushed past me. Shit, I should really go to the doctor, me with my heart racing forever.
"Man, if you carry on like this, everyone will soon know that you like them ..." Hibiko snapped. "Why is that?" I asked, very frightened. “Have you ever seen your face when she is in your immediate vicinity? ", Hibiko laughed." Man, you are really bad. ", I mumbled and crossed my arms. "Oh, come on, it wasn't meant that way ..." Hibiko laughed. "Tzz ..." I said, still offended. “Man, you should have seen your face when she was standing in front of the one in the door! ", Hibiko seemed to burst with laughter." Yes yes, thanks for your sympathy ... ". I looked around. For some reason we were all looking at us. Super. Once again we had been shouting around nicely. ,,What do we have now? ", I asked to distract from the topic." Math. ", Hibiko answered simply. ,,Great. ", I was visibly annoyed.
"Ah, nice that you both decided to take part in the class. ", my class teacher mumbled, with only me ridiculing her, because she seemed to like Hibiko a lot." We still had something to discuss with Nakao-Sensei.", Hibiko grinned cheekily." No problem. ". Oh, suddenly it wasn't that bad anymore? Man. I hated this school, I just wanted to go home. ,, Aki. "Hibiko nudged me." At some point I'll hit you for that shitty nickname ... "I pissed her off. “We'll have music in a moment. ", she continued. Hibiko seemed really happy and beamed. And somehow she had the ability to infect others with her style and make them happy. The doorbell rang and Hibiko jumped up immediately, she was dying to show me something. Hibiko dragged me through the hall to the music room and placed myself on one of the many chairs. Shortly afterwards the others also trotted reluctantly into the classroom. Among them were some high school students something prepared by you guys. Hibiko, maybe you want to start? "asked my music teacher. He was the only teacher I even half liked. ,,Clear. ", Hibiko replied contentedly and jumped up. She just seemed to have been waiting for it. Did I mention that she played the violin incredibly well? Because she did. I saw Arisu in the back corner of the classroom and felt myself blushing. Hibiko took a deep breath and cleared her throat. All eyes were now on her again. And then, then she began to play. Quite simply, the bow flew over the four sides of her violin and after the first few notes most of the high school students committed Hibiko's blue eyes glittered properly, she was in her element. I, however, had to smile, as I said Hibiko knew how to infect others with her way. But that's how I knew her, and unfortunately this fiddle was part of the last day of school. She did it every time Year. Well, Hibiko always played something different, but I hated things that were repeated. I just wanted a little tension. With a little magic, one In the war of the worlds or an attack by vampires, I would have been satisfied. Was that asking too much? Apparently yes, because the world didn't want to change, no, it just wanted to let me run through an endless loop over and over again.
When the doorbell finally rang for the last time at six o'clock and I was finally able to go home,
