Chapter 20

°Harriet

I don't know why but I'm a little nervous about having math.

The last time I had math was on Thursday and only at today's lunch break it occurred to me that now, hopefully a new piece of paper is waiting for me under the table.

The day was boring until now because Bella is sick. But this gives my day a little kick.

I run quickly to my place and unpack my things. I should rather wait til the lesson starts and everyone is busy with exercises so that no one glances my way when I read the new note.

Ms.Minti enters the classroom and doesn't waste any time to start the lesson.

Everyone takes out their homework and someone from the last row is asked to present his solutions.

I reach under the table and take off the note.

I was a bit afraid that I might find my own note there, but Ethan luckily answered.

The front says Don't be afraid, Love – Aaron Warner'

Lord help me because this is one of my favorite books and he just randomly chose a quote from it.

And that he chose a quote at all is totally sweet.

I smile a bit and open the piece of paper.

Yes, I passionately play piano as well,

even though I have lost sight of it for some time

Which songs do you prefer to play?

I like to play modern pieces

I hope you had a great day so far

Signed Yamaha

Wow, he also plays the piano.

It's kind of romantic. I always wanted to play a piece with someone but none of my family and none of my friends can play good enough.

I swipe my finger over the Yamaha and smile softly, so he understood.

My first piano was from the same company. Now with the grand piano I changed to Kawai for inexplicable reasons.

I grab a pen and rip some piece of paper from my notebook.

First of all, I love that quote because

this one of my favorite books

Do you read in your free time

or was this a coincidence?

I like to play some classic's but mostly play quiet modern pieces

Signed Kawai

I fold the paper once in the middle and glue it back to its place.

"Hey cutie, how was school?" Noah asks but he seems different than usual.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's go home and then we can talk."

I look at him concerned but nod and walk to the passenger side.

Noah gets in as well and starts the car.

"So how was school today?"

I would like to tell him about the notes, but it fells like it's not the right time share such a happy thing when he acts like someone died.
