Eyy another chapter, I'm on fire! Not one review yet I guess I'm getting better but not that much so I tried my best to make this one better than the last. Hope you enjoy it and please read & review!
Just another regular Monday afternoon. I didn't even have to look up to know Lucy would be here soon like always. I didn't even bother to try to make her leave anymore. If anything she was the reason I was getting better, when I got mad I just tried new song pieces.
I heard somebody open our front door without even knocking and I instantly knew it was Lucy. Everybody else would have knocked or at least yelled something out but Lucy would never brother and my parents didn't mind. The loud blast from the door behind her confirmed what I had been thinking. She leaned herself up to my piano and I let her. I just kept playing until she began saying something.
"So how's it been Schroeder?"
"Just the usual" I responded while still playing
"Yeah that's what I've been thinking, everything's been so boring around here, how about we mix things up a bit today and make them a bit better"
I raised an eyebrow. Oh no what did she have in mind this time. Every time Lucy had one of her 'ideas' everything turned out for the worse instead of better like she kept insisting.
"What exactly do you have in mind?" I asked confused
"For starters instead of me leanings against your piano today how about I sit next to you"
"I don't really think that's a good idea" I said nervously
"Of course it is, I came up with it didn't I?" She said coming up next to me and motioning me to scoot over, I did little by little regretting this. She smoothed out her blue dress and sat next to me in front of my piano. We both shared half of it which made me even more nervous.
"Okay so now you can play again, lets see what happens" She finally said pleased
"Um Lucy I can't play just half of it everything is going to sound weird" I pointed out making her think a bit and as always coming up with a 'solution'
"Good because I actually wanted to show you something, remember the last time you sort of let me play your piano a bit"
"You mean the time you pushed me away from my piano claiming you could play it and needed up throwing it across the room because you actually couldn't" I cringed at the thought
"Yeah sure whatever we all remember it differently, well since that day I decided to practice a bit more at the piano so I wanted to play with you" She smiled proudly at me making me yet again nervous
I didn't want her to play my piano but ever since I started spending more time with Lucy it's been harder to say no to her. I decided not to say anything which I knew would backfire anyways but no words would come out of my mouth.
"Are you deaf?" She asked and then waved her arm in front of me, "Are you ok?" And when I didn't give her an answer again she began to touch the top of my piano.
"No don't!" I yelled making her stop smirking
"Ha! I knew that would work! Anyways really Schroeder I have been practicing and if you don't believe me just let me play some minor keys while you do the major ones please?" She asked showing me her gleaming eyes, I tried the best to word out a no but her eyes were a bit too powerful for me at the moment
"Fine" I responded rolling my eyes
"Thanks"
I looked to other side to look at what piece would be the easiest to play for a beginner. I finally picked one and opened it up for both of us. I was already used to playing without needing the piece in front of me to see but I thought maybe Lucy would need it. She smiled at my pick and I began to play slowly. She understood what part I was playing and went along with hers every time she needed to. She was better than I thought. Maybe she had been practicing. We ended on the same note and she started clapping.
"Wow Lucy that was a lot better than I thought it would be" I said congratulating her
"It was wasn't it I knew it" She said and I rolled my eyes at her again
We played another piece before my mother came and told Lucy that her parents had called and wanted he to go home already. We both looked at each other with disappointed expressions. We were actually having fun together for once.
"Wow I hadn't even noticed how late it was already and a school night, huh?" I began getting up and held out a hand to help her up. She took it gladly and when we let go we headed for the door.
"Yeah but it's fine I'll just come back tomorrow anyways" She responded making both of us laugh
I opened the door for her and for the first time in my life wisent outside with her closing the door behind us. She looked at me weirdly.
"Thinking of walking me home?" She asked surprised by my behavior as much as I was
"Nope maybe someday but today I just wanted to see that you got home okay even thought its just a couple of houses away" I answered smiling at her
"Oh okay and hey thanks for giving me a chance with your piano today it really meant a a lot to me" She said smiling back at me
"No problem, I should've trusted you anyways and you were actually really good we should do it again sometime" I said half asking and half hoping
"Yeah, bye" She said leaving the porch for the the sidewalk
I made sure she got to her home safe and then turned back to go back inside of my house. She had really great. She was getting a lot better.
