In the well-known school for fairies of Althéa High, two friends were by the lockers.

"ANd you won't believe what she said !" Said one of the girls, twirling a strand of her pink hair in her fingers.

"What did she say ?" Said the other, not showing one bit of interest in her tone as she gets her book for the next period and closes the locker.

"That AMANDA, aka, her 'best' friend, is dressed like a SLUT ? Like, seriously ?"
"Right.., seriously."
"Like I get' that she indeed, did dress like a slut, but don't go calling yourself her best friend after that, right ? You wouldn't do that to me right?" She says, moving her hands frantically as she spoke.

"No, no of course not." The brunette responds as she opens the door to the lecture hall for the English lesson.

Both of them take their seats at the seconds row, on the left side of the class next to each other and open their notebooks.

The brown haired one, named Inn' Springfield, scanned the page in front of her.

Her notebook is littered in drawings in every nook and cranny.

But not just simple doodles or smiley faces, that would be unlike her, but landscapes and portraits that belong right next to the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

Her parents insisted she took art classes too, along with her piano, violin, Chinese and many more she had during vacations.

Even with that said, she knew they still would be against her notes looking so messy.

She kept thinking about what her parents would think of her notebooks when they'll meet again as she wrote the lesson, but she got pulled out of her thoughts by the bell ringing that indicated that it was lunch time.

"OH MY GOOOSH IM SO HUNGRY, quit sulking and get up"
"Right, right. Coming" she responded as she put her stuff back in her brown leather messenger bag.

The students left the lecture hall and most of them went to put their books back, but Inn's friend, Nanaa, couldn't wait another second, so they went straight to the cafeteria to get their order.

Both of them scanned their cards in the butler 2000 device and took their meal.

They walked to the bleachers near the pool and ate their lunch.
"So, as I was saying" starts Nanaa "Amanda heard from Tiffany that Jennifer said 'that' about her, right?"
"Right.?" Responds the other, a little confused.

"So, Tiffany made herself look like the good guy and all, but, little does Amanda know, that Tiff' and Jenn' have been talking shit about her for like SOO long"

"I heard Tiff' friend's boyfriend cheated of her with Amanda, so I get how they would be mad, you know. But still, that's not something they should do"

"Right, and, plus, Amanda didn't know that the guy and the friend were together, so like-"she says her mouth full.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, Nan'" Inn' cuts her off, a look of disgust on her face.

She swallows her bite,"right, right. Sorry" she chuckles.
Both of them finish their meals and chat a bit, but it's mostly Nanaa gossiping and Inn' nodding along.

Chemistry and computer class went by, and now it was time for the dance.
Usually Inn' stays in the room and gets ahead on her work while Nanaa goes to the party, but today she decided to stay too since she was tired.

As they walk in their living room, Nanaa groans loudly, throws her bag on the floor and dramatically plops on the couch.

Inn' sighs a little and opens her bag, taking on of her piano sheets.
She makes her way to the piano and plays one of the sheets she's the worst at.

Her parents made her practice everyday, no exceptions.
But it was for her own good, they told her.

"Okayy Inn' imma head to sleep now" Nana says, dragging her feet on the floor as she heads to her room.
"Alright, goodnight."
"You should start sleeping too, fuckin' sleep deprived child" she mumbles the last part, closing the door to her room, leaving Inn' in the living room alone.

She sighs and decides to practice in the library so she doesn't wake her friend up.

She put her shoes back on, takes her folder with all her sheets, and heads to the library.

When she opens the door, she sees a girl, seating in one of the tables.
She had short, ginger and curly hair, with some pins and beads in them.

Her pale face, with freckles scattered across it, looks up from the sketch book she was drawing in, her big green eyes looking a Inn' through the door.

Not expecting to see someone in the library in the middle of the night, she abruptly slams the door shut.

Now standing inches away from the closed door, she lets out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

She looked down to see the piano sheets still in her hands.
That's right, she still had to do it.

But how could she open the door back now that she just had slammed it shut in front of the other girl.

Gathering up all her courage, she slightly creaks the door open and slips in the library, even though she knew the other girl saw her, as the noise of the old door could be heard very distinctly through the night's silence.
She makes her way to the piano on the other side of the library and sits down.

She puts the sheet of Debussy's "arabesque no°1" and places her hands above the keyboard and starts playing.

The other girl, watches the whole scene from her chair, unknown to the brunette on the piano.
As I said, it was the sheet she was the worst at, but as she was fantastic on the other ones, this one is just slightly less good.

As she played, she almost forgot the redhead that was in the same room as her.
As realisation crashes, she plays a wrong note, much more high than intended on the sheet, and as she panicked of her mistake, she messes it up by completely changing the whole sheet, in hope of getting back on track, but she gives up and smashes her head on the keyboard.

She hears the redhead chuckles from behind her, and she turns around on her seat, there she is, right in front of her.
"Sorry.." mumbles Inn', out of habit from her dad, almost putting her hand out Infront of her, expecting the worse.

"It's okay" says the redhead.
Inn's face turns extremely red, up to her ears, and all she could muster up was an awkward, almost scared smile.
She clears her throats and scratches her neck.

"Well" she coughs to hide her voice crack.
She laughs awkwardly.
"Hey would you look at the time, it's getting really late, I should go" She says quickly as she gets up and takes her sheets.

She runs to the door and opens it abruptly and says a quick "bye" still not looking back.
Once she closes the door, the redhead explodes with laughter that quickly die out as she wipes the tears that formed in the corner of her eyes.

"What an encounter" she thinks.
