Aside from his track talents, here's his true passion!


Chapter 3: Musically Inclined

That afternoon, around 2:45 pm, when everyone else is ready to head home from school or sticking around for some after school activities or practices, Morrison walks across the hallways of the school passing everyone else and headed straight to the back of the music class, where during that time...it's just empty. Nothing much a lot of musical instruments all around the room and since no one's teaching anyways, he figured that he can just goof around there for a while until the bell rings.

The first place to head to was the keyboard because he's more trained that way and it's also a good excuse to release some pent up feelings he's kept inside for a long period now, especially today's events when it comes to dealing with Trevor at practice run as well as his crush on Meena. He sits down, turns on the keyboard and starts playing a few keys. As he plays it, he just started very soft and sweet and tender as he visualizes his crush on Meena and how much he admires her so much, but also kinda sad that she doesn't know it yet or is a little unsure to even tell her.

Then, the key changes upward to frustration that he won't get a chance to tell her because of the fact that she's got a crush on Trevor and not that he's a competitive person when it comes to girls, there's just something about Trevor that doesn't sit right with him because he is known to be a player off the field, especially when it comes to the ladies.

Range of emotions have seeped in as he's playing on the piano; happy, sad, frustration, fear and selflessness as he pounds the keys really hard and just lays it all out there as it goes from super fast and dramatic to slow and mellow with a hint of sensitivity mixed in, but one remained a constant; told from the heart. After several minutes on the piano, he takes a deep breath and cracked his knuckles to give those ivories a rest and he shuts off the keyboard and moves from there to the guitar.

Morrison picks up the guitar hanging from the wall, carefully brings it down, wraps the strap around him, sits down on the stool and starts strumming the guitar. He's been very accustomed to the guitar because it's the one instrument aside from the piano that can really pull in any emotional state in many period of his life; whether bad or good experiences.

He kept thinking about Meena as he strums the guitar, almost as if it's like one of those cheesy pop love songs all over the radio that people listen to every day. Morrison doesn't particularly care for those types of songs, although he does understand the full meaning behind them. He's more of a punk-rock, hip-hop, EDM freakishly indie person and those are kind of his thing. As for this particular occasion, he's willing to make a little exception and just lets his guard down for a little and allow himself to be more vulnerable and make the guitar do the talking for him.

Within a few strums later, he had felt like he's gotten every ounce of emotion out of him without singing a tune and after one last strum, he just laid his heart on his sleeve.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGG!

The bell rings and he knows what that means; put away the guitar for now, grab his bags and walk out of the back of the music room without anyone noticing and walk down the halls to head for home. Yet, someone who was actually in the music room heard Morrison's music abilities and that someone was Meena, who was listening in the other room next to the music room. She was completely blown away by his style of music, though didn't really hear him sing yet.

Nevertheless, she was truly amazed by this and she thought up something to explore his talents even further as she walked out of the room and headed her way to the buses.


Aside from Morrison's crush on Meena, it's intertwined with Morrison's storyline as we get to know him a little more. More coming up!
