Hello, I'm having a fluff-off with RemyTheReaper, and I had like, 5 chapters for another couple and then I was like, hey, I should make it Jelsi instead! So this is my lovely beginning to my restarted fluff-off! Please review!
Prompt-Introduction
Kelsi was hurrying to the music room during free period, looking down, trying to avoid the unkind stares of the cheerleaders and girls who preyed on the fashion senseless, when she walked right into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she gasped, bending over to pick up the papers she had dropped. The person she had bumped into knelt beside her and started helping her gather everything. She glanced up to see who it was, and found a pair of warm brown eyes gazing into hers.
She quickly looked down again, hard as it was. "Here," said the boy she had bumped into, handing her a couple of papers. It was Jason Cross, one of the basketball players, one of Troy's friends. "Did you write that music?" he questioned, gesturing to the papers she was now stowing away in her bag.
"Yeah, it's just something I do." she replied, embarrassed, looking down and trying to find a way to get out of this without further mortification.
"That's really cool." said Jason. He sounded sincere.
Kelsi shrugged. "It's just something I like doing…" she started. "I usually get this stuff done during free period. In the music room."
"Could I come listen to you play?" Jason asked.
Kelsi nodded. "Sure." she replied softly. She started towards the music room, with Jason following her.
The moment she had passed through the door, she felt safe. In this room, she was free from teasing and trying to fit in, able to escape from the horrors that usually chased her in the halls of East High.
She sat down on the piano, laying her fingers out over the keys, and started to play. The music started to flow around her, making her forget everything - the school, her audience, and the world outside of the piano keys and her fingers.
She brought the piece to an end and heard Jason applauding. "That was really good." he said, approaching the piano bench and sitting down next to her. "You wrote that?"
Kelsi bowed her head. "Yeah." she whispered, embarrassed. She rarely showed her compositions to anyone, other than her musical. No one had ever heard a large portion of her music.
Yet, with Jason, Kelsi didn't feel scared at all, or guarded about what she had written. She felt free, like she wouldn't be judged as the freaky piano girl, like everyone else in the school saw her as.
"What's your name?" Jason asked. "I feel really weird, not knowing, when we've been sitting around here nearly all free period."
"Kelsi. I'm Kelsi." she said softly.
"Jason."
They shook hands briefly, Kelsi pulling away quickly. "I…I should go…I just remembered I have to…" she stammered.
Jason nodded, watching her gather her things and leave. "Bye," she called as she walked away.
Jason watched her go, then turned back to the piano. He wished he could play like her.
Lame, stupid ending, oh well. Shut up. Please review.
