Symphony

Prelude (I)

"I'm in love with you and I'm going to be straightforward with this. This is not going to be a typical I think I might like you, I'll just be upfront with you. I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with you. "

"Too serious plus that's from Twilight"
"What? You think he'll be into twilight?" I exclaimed with special emphasis on 'he'. 

With a huge sigh, Violet or V as I call her, threw her head back from the chair in disappointment. "You are too much into this guy. He talked to you like what once, and that was 6 months ago?!" she said while hovering her hands in the air

"So what, he said hi to me. That counts" I replied, feeding into my delusions.

She pulled her head back up and her long black hair landed on her shoulders simultaneously. She pushed them back with her hand, creating a perfect arch. "I just don't want you to get hurt, Eve" 

That is my name, Eve, but that's what Violet persists to call me. My real name is Evelyn.

"You are such a pessimist" I scrunched my nose at her.
"But I'm not actually going to confess anything, I like the thrill of the chase"

"You are very weird you know that?" V got up from the chair. "thrill of the chase" she added with a "pfft"sound. "We have to go, lunch is about to end". I mimicked her behind her back. 

We took our lunchboxes and walked out of the music room. It was our favourite place to be during lunch. While the classrooms were filled with chaos, designated lunch rooms turned into kissing spots and any free space was already reserved by the popular groups, the music room was the one place we could hang out. Mrs. Harley was very friendly and would always let us have lunch in the room in her absence. That's one of the perks I enjoy in high school. 

While walking back to the classroom, I caught a sight of him again with his short black hair, glasses and a slight grin. His beauty continues to captivate me every single time and recently there had been more and more glimpses of him.

6 months ago I didn't even know who he was and now he's all that's on my mind. But It's not my fault, he is the one who talked to me first with his stupid joke. Then once again with a stupid joke about Mrs. Harley.

"Excuse me your highness, can we enter now?" I heard. The voice became clearer. It was Violet, she was imitating a butler showing the way. "Weirdo" her eyes shifted away from me. 
I was lost in thought and we had already reached class. We sat on our desks and took out the textbook.

It was a long English lecture but It was finally over and that's the part I always look forward to. I stretched out in my chair. My body leaned back and I caught a slight peek of him through the back door. His classroom was right next to mine. Pretty lucky I was. He was laughing with his friends in the classroom across. How could a person be this majestic? I thought to myself tilting even more and more for a better look. And well, greediness has its consequences.

My fingers slipped as I tried to grip something from either hand and I fell backwards as gravity became my greatest enemy. Lying on the floor, the first thing I did was to look out of the back door. Was I half-hoping for him to be here helping me? This isn't a Wattpad book. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I heard Violet laughing from above, she looked perfect even when laughing uncontrollably. "At least give me a hand," I said offering myself to her.
I got up, now with an alarming back pain and a class full of students looking back wondering were the sound came from. "Another day another embarassment. Kind of my forte"

This has been on here for like a year, so why not let it breathe by posting on our favourite app :P
I was trying something an year ago with the music related chapter names, so yeah they just set tone for the entire chapter and given the fact I named the book "Symphony" you can expect a very laid out and systematic 4 movements for the whole structure. (its so not sytematic lmao who am i kidding, it just felt cool)
