"Kai, Kai, I have a surprise", said Clot as she opened the door of the activity room, she saw Kai, sitting at the piano, his fingers skimmer through note after note. He didn't stop as she walked towards him.
She stopped as he did, and said, "I have a surprise, Ray and a friend of his are taking you to a piano performance tomorrow, to hear the academy play".
Kai pressed low C and said huskily, "when tomorrow". Marie loved the sound of his voice; it was new and sounded worn out.
"In the evening, I'll be going to so you don't have to be shy", she smiled as he lifted his finger from the, lower C and pressed the highest C. "Aren't you happy?"
Kai stopped, he took hold of his cane and said, "I'll be going outside, and be with others, but...not like me", she was taken back. "No, Kai, they won't be like you, but you can hear unlike them, and hear the true music".
Kai stood up and walked right past her, heading for his room, "Oh, dear, something's not right".
Kai's POV
He has no right! Did her ever think on asking me first before telling me. I can play the academy songs back to front and no one cares, no; everyone has to listen to the normal person!
It would be fun though, here them play properly, and then I can, all I have to do is listen.
End Kai's POV
Ray was seated opposite Sir, not many students knew his real name, just Sir. Sir had wanted to talk to Ray about his practice he was not getting.
Unlucky for Ray, Sir didn't know about Mr Fisher's project.
Sir was a big man, well built, muscular, single and a pain in the neck. Ray hated these discussions; it always meant more work, and more excuses.
"Now Ray, I see here, missing practice three times in a row is not good, one is ok, twice I'll accept but three, you've gone to far there".
Ray stood his ground, "let's see, swimming, running and soccer practice, what you are doing when not here".
Ray looked at him and said, "Helping a friend". Sir starred at him and said gruffly, "with what Ray".
'Sir, probably thought this had to do with girls', thought Ray, and said, "he's in a hospital, and I'm helping him...fit in".
Sire had had enough and said, "one more practice and we'll have do something drastic, do you here me Kon, drastic", Ray understood and walked out the office.
Tyson Granger rolled his shoulders, stretched his arms and stood up onto the diving board. He saw Ray at the bottom; he had just done his jump, Tyson moved forward, lifted his one arm, and dived. There was cheer, but Tyson hadn't beaten Ray's perfect double flip, and knew he wouldn't.
In the locker room, Ray had his black boxers on already, and Tyson had just come out the shower towel around waist. "Still coming tomorrow", asked Ray. Tyson looked at him and said, "Sure, wouldn't miss seeing my best buds 'patient'".
Ray could always rely on Tyson, even if he was a pig. "And you won't be afraid to talk to him, even if he's blind". Tyson shrugged his shoulders and said in a serious voice as if quoting something, "no matter what age, race, gender or disability, he's still human"; Ray starred at him and said, "What the hell was that".
Tyson starred at him as he buttoned his black shirt up, "my mother used to say that". "Oh, well, you should say it to Kai; he'll have something to say to it".
"Where is he", said Marie gruffly. Then she caught sight of Ray and his friend. "Hi Mrs Clot-" Ray started but she butted in and said, "Call me Marie, and I see here's your friend".
"Oh yeah, Marie, this is Tyson Granger, Tyson this is Marie, and Kai". Tyson looked at Kai, he looked normal enough, cane in hand and Marie's hand in the other.
"Well, we better get going", she said, and they walked inside.
You could tell Kai was enjoying it, but yet he seemed almost nervous of all the people, but he loved the music it was so; pure he could take off and then float off to bed. But at the end, something happened that would change everything.
The head of the academy came onto stage and said, into the microphone, "Since we have ended early, we have decided to have a competition, against one of our finest pupils, against a piano player from the audience".
Kai's grip on Mrs Clots hardened, she turned to him and asked "You want to play don't you", he tuned to the sound of her voice and nodded, "alright".
Some people were standing up, when Kai stood up, and he was picked. He was helped to go up, "well, this is very odd, a blind boy against a pupil, right, what's your name".
Marie answered for him, "Right Kai, this is what you have to do, try and play the same thing as Robert over there without any mistakes and you'll get a brilliant prize", Kai understood and it began.
It started off slow, a few notes, then it got faster and faster until Kai recognized the tune, and played with Robert.
The audience was in trance by Kai, the head was shocked as well surprised for Kai to be even this good. And then, Robert stopped, but Kai carried on, into a bit of Mozart. He finally stopped, and they were standing, clapping, Ray never knew how well he was, Tyson was impressed, and Marie wasn't at least surprised, just moved.
"Well, well, that was unexpected, how long have you been playing Kai", Marie was now on her guard and answered for him, "He's been playing for as long as he can remember". "How would you like to put on one performance for Christmas Eve, we'll pay you", he asked, the audience were leaving, Ray and Tyson were on stage with him.
Kai starred at the man and said, "Can I play anything", "Of course, feel free to play anything you wish", he answered.
Kai thought for a while and said, "How long till Christmas". Ray answered for the Head, "a month from tomorrow", Kai turned to the voice and said, "Can I think about it though", the Head nodded and they left.
"Wow, I never knew you could play that well", said Ray as the walked through the doors. "It was amazing", said Tyson. "I think it was one of your best performances". But Kai didn't say anything; he tapped his fingers on his cane, in a jazzy rhythm.
"Do you want to go get some ice-cream", asked Marie. But Ray said, "Can't, got a test on history coming up, need to study". "Me to, if I fail at history this year, I won't pass to grade eleven".
As the boys wondered of to get a taxi, Mrs Clot looked at Kai, he seemed worried of something and extremely tired, "well it looks like your tired, come on, time to go", and she took him home.
Kai's POV
Could I really play that well, I've never have someone watch while I play, but when I did, I couldn't stop, it was if I was possessed, by something, by the rhythm, I'd have to ask Mrs Clot about rhythm and ask her to teach me.
Maybe Ray can help me practice for the show, that's if I do it. But I'm not too fond of his friend Tyson. The way he looks at you, it makes me feel...small.
Anyway, I'll need Ray's help if I want to play...so should I? Should I play?
What do you think, I love it, and it's going the right way to. Review!!
Reaper of the damned: keep your pants on; I'm doing the best I can (no offense).
