I hope I can figure everything out by then
There's a knock on the door and knowing that nobody else is in I heave myself of my bed and go downstairs. I wonder who it is, Taylor and her parents are away and I doubt it would be for me. I answer to be surprised to find Ryan the other side.
"Ryan?" I ask surprised
"The one and only" I laugh and let him in, with both go and sit on the sofa
"So what brings you here?"
"Well I know that tay and her parents are visting family, and the guys are on their basketball traingin thing so I thought I would come see what you were up to. I've been so bored at home now schools done"
"I know same! It still feels weird not having to study for finals"
"I know I feel guilty that I'm not then remember there over" he exclaims
"I do that to!" we laugh slightly at ourselves
"So what's Sharpay up to then? Thought she'd be keeping you busy" he just rolls his eyes at the thought of his sister
"She's gone out on yet another shopping trip"
"Again?" I ask, surprised as we only went the day before
"Don't even get me started" I giggle at his frustrated tone
"So what were you doing anyways, before I interrupted you"
"Aww you didn't interrupt me don't worry. I've just been playing aroung on Tay's old keyboard. We found it in the attic the other day"
"Tay has a keyboard?"
"yeah it's form when she was little, we used to have piano lessons together…well before she gave up"
"What about you?"
"what about me what?" I ask him confused
"Did you give up?"
"Oh…no I stayed for a couple of years after her. I loved it. I stopped having lessons when I started high school but still played at home"
"So I'm guessing you must pretty good then?"
"Well I used to be but not played for a while, it all started coming back to me"
"yeah it does that?"
"You play don't you?" I ask him; pretty sure he mentioned it once
"Yeah, piano, guitar and I'm currently learning the drums"
"Wow really?"
"Yeah we got a set at home in the music room so thought I may as well learn?" he explains
"You have a music room?"
"err..yeah" he looks kind of embarrassed like he doesn't want to seem like he' showing off
"I'm so jealous!"
"well feel free to come over and use it anytime" he smiles at me.
"Really? Cause I would love to play an actual piano again, half the keys don't even work on Taylor's keyboard"
"Yeah honestly…do you want to go over to mine now and have a go?"
"Are you being serious?"
"of course"
"I would love to" I reply rather excitedly. I haven't played on an actual piano since I came here.
"Ok lets go then" I nip upstairs and get my stuff before we head out to Ryan's car.
We get to his house and he leads me to a room I've never noticed before when I've been over here. I realise it's the basement when we head down some stairs. I get to the bottom and I'm in awe. There's old records covering the walls, and stacked on shelves along with cd's and music books. But what I can't take my eyes off is the beautiful baby grand piano in the corner.
"You never told me it was a grand piano"
"Well technically it's a baby grand" he cheekily replies and I just stick my tongue out at him while walking over to it. I slowly stroke my hand over the cold surface.
"Go ahead" he encourages me with a smile and I sit down. I delicately touch the keys as if they might break. I press a key and a beautiful sound comes out. I start off just doing a few scales, loving the feeling that it was bringing back.
"See I told you it all comes back" Ryan took a seat next to me and placed some music on the stand in front of me
"Whoa it's a long time since I've sight read"
"Yeah but you're a natural…I can tell" he smiles at me and the starts playing the low chords so all I have to worry about is the melody.
We play around on the piano for ages after that. We're down there all afternoon just playing music, singing along and even start writing some of our own. It's been so much fun. Ryan and I have never really hung out just us two before, so it's been nice to get to know him better. Now I feel like I've known him forever. We've really bonded over music.
