i made a 2nd chapter cuz why the hell not right?
It had been 3 days since Heidi had seen Randy use what Heidi now calls "the stare", she tried not to think about it but it kept coming back to her , it looked so familiar, those eyes, those soul piercing yet gentle blue eyes, ewww! What was she thinking?! This is Randy!, her brothers dorky best friend, but…no she told herself that doesn't matter right now, what matters right now is the alleged ghost of the music room….yes you heard that right, according to her source there has been a spooky piano solo in the music club's room right after school, why was Heidi hunting ghosts, well the answer can be summed up in 3 words slow gossip week , right now the only thing even worth investigating is principal slimovits claims of a ghostly piano solo he had heard while on another one of his big baby cowboy struts after school(shnasty!) the ghost of which he was too scared to confirm himself, so here Heidi was currently walking towards the music club's room, but as she got closer she could hear it, it was fast paced the kind of music you'd hear during a car chase then it became gentle, it was quite soothing at the same time frightening. But she couldn't stop herself she kept moving closer till she was in the room the apparition playing the piano had its back turned to her and it was far too dark to see it clearly but as she edged closer she accidentally tripped on a satchel on the floor yelping in surprise the apparition turned and walked towards her, until it was standing right in front of her, but as she laid there on the ground refusing to look up in fear of it being an actual ghost , well she knows not all ghost are bad there was that one on TV that seemed like a good guy, but who knows what this one was like it could be a malevolent spirit, she herd it inhale preparing to say something to her, some evil message about how it was going to haunt her or worse, it opened its ghostly mouth and said.
"Heidi? You okay?"
Wait, what? Looking up she met those blue eyes that had been on her mind for the last few days. Omg its randy!
"WTJ! You scared me!" was Heidi's yelled reply.
"wah?! Well why were you sneaking up behind me?" the apparently not ghost said.
"I heard a rumour from p. slims there was a ghost, turns out there it was just a shoob in the music room scaring anyone who comes near him" she said as randy gave her an annoyed look, but he noticed she was still on the ground and offered her his hand. She stared at it suspiciously "don't worry you won't phase through it, I promise" she grabbed his hand and let him help pull her up.
"What are you doing here anyway randy, playing the piano by yourself, this time of day anyway?" Asked the red head.
Randy just stared at her for a few seconds with a weirded out look. "um hello, earth to randy" said Heidi while snapping her finger in front of his face.
"Oh, sorry it's just weird hearing you say my name right" snapping out of his daze.
"What are you talking about? I've always got your name right"
"Fine, whatever you say, and to answer your previous question I'm playing the piano here because my keytar and keyboard are broken"
"And how did that happen?" asked Heidi.
Randy then remembered 2 days ago when he was taking both his keytar and keyboard to howards to jam, when his wonky luck kicked in and a monster was terrorizing the city (on a Sunday? Really?!) he foolishly left his stuff in the middle of the street to fight the monster and well you can guess what happens next.
"Hmm oh nothing they just got old" was his reply
Heidi looked at him sceptically for a second, but chose to believe him.
"And since this is the only place that lets me use the piano after school I thought why the juice not right?" randy continued as he sat down on the piano bench and returned to playing position, expecting Heidi to leave since she got her answer. Instead she surprised him and sat down next to him, which was weird but he never minded being watched.
"Soooo, what were you playing?, sounded really complicated" asked Heidi leaning in to see where his hands were positioned on the keys.
"it is, and it's called beethoven's moonlight sonata 3rd movement" randy said
Heidi stared at him with an eyebrow raised. "That doesn't sound like something you'd know how to play" she told him.
Randy put a hand over his chest and faked a look of hurt " why Heidi I am appalled that you would forget"
"Forget what?"
"What the juice you actually forgot, I use to play classical piano at recitals when I was younger, People said I was prodigy at it, you and howard were at all my recitals, ring any bells?" said randy as he started playing again.
"I think I remember something like that" was heidi's response as the music progressed and flowed.
"heh, I don't blame ya, you don't seem like the kind of person who remembers a lot from their childhood, if you did we'd probably still be friends"
"What?"
"hmm? Oh yeah you used to be friends with me and howard, not bromigos but still pretty good friends, I'd pretend to be your cameraman and you'd be a news lady, or sometimes I'd be the ninja and howard would be the monster you'd still be the the hard hitting news lady who would interview the ninja, ahh the bruce ol days"
"wow" said Heidi looking a little sad.
'uh oh, now I've made everything depressing' was what randy was thinking while looking at heidi's face.
"um..how bout I lighten the mood and play something a little bit more current" said randy emphasizing the word current, changing his hands position and begin to play a new song, Heidi recognized this song, of course she did she wrote it, randy was playing a piano cover of her song 'there's a ninja inside us all' and quite beautifully at that.
"Wow when'd you learn my song?" Heidi asked leaning closer to randy.
"been practicing it ever since you sang it, you were really good" came Randy's response as he noticed he and Heidi's face were kinda close.
"I could say the same about you, but I won't because I would have totally won if you and howard didn't break my guitar" she said as she too noticed how close they were.
"hey! I had nothing to do with that" getting closer, a blush tinting both their cheeks.
"Sure you didn't" Closer. "hey randy" said Heidi trying to change the subject " did, did I know a lot about you when we were kids?" really close now.
"yeah you did…."said randy, as he stopped playing the piano.
"Do you think I should at least try and get to know you...now…" their noses touching now, the blush clearly visible on both teens cheeks.
"I…" said randy as his and heidi's lips were about to meet
Just before the kiss was sealed randy jumped back and out of the chair from a red glow and a buzz coming from his hoodie, leaving Heidi to try and kiss air and having to catch herself from falling of the chair.
"I-I gotta go" said randy as he dashed out the room without even an explanation.
'What the juice did I almost do?!' Heidi mentally screamed 'I shouldn't have tried to do that! What is wrong with me?' Heidi still lecturing herself, but stopped when she put her fingers to her lips and immediately laid her head quite quickly on the piano keys causing a loud 'Klang' to reverberate.
She didn't know much about him, but now she was starting to want too.
