He runs through the school, avoiding teachers where he could and sending tight smiles to those he couldn't. He gets to the music room and has to wait, leaning against the lockers across from the shut door as some giggling freshman shuffled past. As soon as their gone he opens the door and gets into the room as quickly as possible./span/p

He sees Garth sitting at the far end of the room, tapping a pencil on the wood surface of the grand piano that rests there, sturdy and familiar. Garth is smart, to say the least. He has to be as smart as Sammy, he skipped two grades and still takes practically all AP classes. He's already been accepted into Harvard and Stanford to study basically anything he wants with full rides. One other thing about Garth is that he loves instruments, not just listening to them or playing them, but making them. /span/p

They'd done this before, sometimes it was Dean that brought in lyrics to be put to music, and sometimes it would be Garth. Dean nodded and hopped onto the stool that was standing next to the piano, he put the papers on top of the piano and held his guitar in his lap. The piano intro was hypnotic and slow, but had a certain sound of tragedy to it. Garth had a voice, a good one, not one that would win X-Factor or anything, but a haunting voice that seemed too low to be coming from him. There were seven measures of just music before he sang, the seven measures were slow and strange in a good way, loud and slow./span/p

Dean nodded and hopped onto the stool that was standing next to the piano, he put the papers on top of the piano and held his guitar in his lap. The piano intro was hypnotic and slow, but had a certain sound of tragedy to it. Garth had a voice, a good one, not one that would win X-Factor or anything, but a haunting voice that seemed too low to be coming from him.

Garth never speaks right after he finishes singing, it's like an unwritten law between the two of them to be silent for a for seconds before they converse once again. Sorta like having a moment of silence because what was beautiful had come to an end. Then Dean opens his eyes and smiles, Garth looks at him and smiles back,/span/p
