Joy had gone out and the  house felt so big and lonely,she walked down the stairs with a bored expression.

A mischievous smile crept up her face when an idea struck, she could remember clearly she saw a piano at the far end of the sitting room maybe she could make use of that.

If there was one thing ivie love doing,it singing.she had a very lovely voice and Can easily put words together to form a good lyrics, this  was what made the school principal  place her  in charge of the school mass choir.

she had never played a piano before but decided to try her luck after all it seems easy when she watch people do it.

She stood in front of it confused,then summoning the courage she pressed a key,then another , yet another and then continuously, she was definitely playing off-key

She laughed inwardly it not so easy after all but she continued anyway.

"I sure you are aware noise pollution is a very serious offense?" James asked as he strolled into the sitting room, he was looking really nice in a black sweatpants and a cream coloured sleeveless

"There is no law as such" she answered

"See this one, anyway you are a small girl so what do you know?"

"Who is small" she countered

"You of course, how old are you by the way?" He asked infact he has been meaning to ask but he couldn't bring himself to, her enhanced body features makes it difficult to guess correctly her age but base on experience she should be at most seventeen

"I'm sixteen" she replied proudly

"I'm sixteen" he mimicked, you are in  the same age  bracket as my kid sister, she is fourteen but I think she has more troubles than you"

So I have trouble abi?

"Oh what are you? Big boy? So tell me yours"

"You don't ask a guy his age"

"But I told you mine?" She queried

"I didn't force you to,so my luck" he said with a grin

"Nice one bro I'm going to get my pay back" she said sticking out her tounge  at him

He laughed lightly and she didn't fail to notice his one side dimple. "Such a cute child"she thought

"You were going to sing a song before you started playing a  bleeding tone right?"he asked as he move closer to piano

"Yeah but I couldn't play the piano"

"Obviously I could see that"

"Can you please play it while I sing" she pleaded

"I can but it will cost you"

"How much"

"Don't worry I don't want to rip you of your little savings and besides taking money from a minor is a crime" he teased further

She shook her head at his remarks, she brought out her little notepad and sat in front of the piano facing him

" you go first so I will get the tone"

She started off with her melodious voice echoing all over the sitting room, few seconds later he  matched the song with a tune from the piano

The singing section finally came to an end

"Wow that was  awesome" he compliment truthfully and she smiled meekly

"Have any plans of going into music?"he asked further
