Silence. The abundance of sound. Many would find it incredibly empty and unnerving. For Felix, however, it was immensely relaxing and enjoyable. Especially when being in the presence of books. The incredible stories would have no trouble being constructed in the mind of the teen. From tropical islands being ventured by pirates to dystopias being overtaken by rebel groups, he took great joy in venturing along in the adventures with the characters. It's not to say that he didn't enjoy reading other things like nonfiction but, the stories just gave him a great sense of satisfaction. Something that he would never admit to anyone, that is, if he had anyone to tell in the first place. He glanced up at the wall of his bedroom.

4:58 p.m.

He sighed and bookmarked his spot in the book. He stood up from his chair and grabbed his small brown bag. He couldn't be late in meeting his instructor, that would be simply unexpectable. It only took him a minute to get to the front door and meet up with Nathalie, along with a professional looking older man.


"…One and a Two and a Three and a Four and a. Good. Now from the top."

Felix followed the instructor's instructions, gracefully moving his fingers along the keys of the piano.

"Felibear!~"

The door swung open as a sour note rung through the huge room. It took all of Felix's will not to sigh out loud.

"Miss. Bourgeois, Felix is in the middle of a lesson. I would suggest returning when it's over." Nathalie exclaimed as she tried in desperate attempt to 'drag' the blonde out of the room.

"Oh please, this is much more important than a lesson. Besides, he could use a break." Chloe continued forward, quickly approaching the Grand piano. Felix quickly began to feel a headache coming along which only increased as he felt a pair of arms wrap around his neck.

"Felix! I've missed you so much!"

"Young Lady, this is an unexpectable moment in time in which to barge in and_"

"What? Didn't you hear me? He's taking a break. Go on. Shoo." She said as she glared at his instructor. He would have pushed on further if it weren't for Nathalie interrupting and informing them that they had five minutes. She knew quite well how the young girl would handle the situation. She took no time in escorting the private tutor out of the room, to the tutors' frustration. Silence proceeded as the door was quickly shut.

"Chloe, that was completely unnecessary. You could have waited until we finished to barge in." Felix explained, breaking the silence as he removed the girls' arms from his neck.

"Oh, don't be ridiculous my Feliboo. Who wouldn't give their time to the most important girl in their life?" She explained as she sat in the extra space of the chair. Felix began to zone out as she continued with her boasting. He really had no interest in what she had to say. He would have told her to get to the point of her visit if it weren't for her getting there without him interjecting.

"Anyway, I have a surprise for you." She proclaimed. This caught Felix completely off guard.

"After you commented on how you really wanted to experience going to school, I took the liberty of getting you this." She presented a yellow envelope from her huge designer bag that had obviously never been used until now. He couldn't help but stare in silence.

"What's this?" He asked dumbfoundedly after a few moments.

"Registration papers obviously. All you have to do is fill it in and I will take care of the rest."

Felix kept staring at the envelope, trying to assess the situation. This really wasn't helping his headache.

"Why have you suddenly decided to bring this to me?" He asked as his view switched to Chloe. His gaze cold and calculated.

"What? Can't I do something nice for a friend? The new school year is about to start so I just thought_"

"That was three years ago," He said sternly, "I don't need to go to an actual school anymore. I have lessons and might as well be ahead of everyone else in class."

They stood there in silence for what felt like an eternity. Chloe seemed to go over things in her head, not quite expecting his response.

"Why not?" She asked, "I thought you were sick and tired of being stuck in this dreary place." She emphasized by looking around the room at the bland white décor.

"I did, but I've grown to be satisfied with what I have. Besides, it's my fathers' decision, not mine." Before Chloe could respond to his statement there was a knock on the door.

"Pardon but, your five-minute break is over. Felix shall be resuming his lessons accordingly." The instructor stated as he opened the door. Both teens looked as he made his way towards them. Chloe's expression indicated distaste at the interruption.

"Ugh, can we have just five more min_"

"Chloe, I've already expressed my decision. There is no need to repeat what has already been stated." He declared as he turned his attention back to the piano.

"But_"

"Young Lady, the visit is over. Please take your leave." The instructors voice rang loud in the seemingly empty room.

"Fine!" Chloe cried in outrage. She turned her attention back to Felix, "Could you at least think this over some more?" She quickly set the envelope in the spot next to Felix as she stood up.

"Just make sure you give me the envelope before next week." Before Felix could say anything else, she kissed him on the cheek and turned to leave. Her heels clicked loudly as she made her way out. The instructor ignored the huge Slam as he turned his attention back to his student.

"Well, now that that is all over and done with, how about we continue where we left off?"

Felix complied as he set his fingers on the keys once again. Doing his best to ignore the blinding yellow that contrasted with the black and white of the room.
