Ignorance

Piano's POV

"So your confidence is quiet
To them quiet looks like weakness
But you don't have to fight it
'Cause you're strong enough to win without a war."

"Tomorrow's your first day at your new school." My mom squealed in excitement. "They're going to love you, I mean who will not love this piece of foreign beauty! You're going to shine so bright baby." She kissed me on the cheek. "Now rest up and I'll wake you up early."

"Thanks mom, I love you good night." I hopped in my new bed, which was quite comfortable and checked my phone for any notifications. Any signs of life that love me out there? No, ok-WAIT A DIDDLY-DARNED SECOND!!!! One text...

Gemma: Hey if you need a ride to school, I can come by in the morning and show you around before the first bell rings :)

Me: That would be great, thank you! You're so helpful! What time will you be by?

It shows that she is typing, but in the mean time I'll let mom know. "HEY MOM GEMMA IS TAKING ME TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!" I yelled.

"OKAY THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW P, GOOD NIGHT..."

Gemma: how about around 8? The first bell is around 8:30, that will give us plenty of time!

Me: sounds great I'll see you tomorrow :)

I could already tell that tomorrow was going to be busy and pretty much a disaster!

Oh crap, I looked at the clock, 7:40. I can't get ready in 20 minutes!
I rushed to get my makeup and clothes on. Whilst breakfast was cooking, I packed my lunch and by that time it ended up being 8:00... I looked like a mess, not a good first impression on my soon to be fellow peers. I heard a honk in the driveway, that must be Gemma.

"GOODBYE MOM I LOVE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY!"

"BYE P LOVE YOU TOO AND HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH!"

This was our relationship, we yelled at each other constantly whether it was in a friendly way or in a bickery way. I thought that we would be more like sisters than a mother and a daughter.

"Hey Piano! How are you darling?" She looked beautiful as usual, she didn't even have to try. I internally groaned and wished that I had that capability of looking nice without trying.

"Well, alright" I chuckled knowing that my morning was a wreck itself. "How about yourself?"

"Good, thank you"

We made small talk as we made our way to school arriving at around 8:10ish so we had around 20 minutes to scope the place out. She showed me all the basics, the gym, the theatre and all of the senior classrooms.
The five minute warning bell rang. Gemma was in 11th grade and we didn't have one class together, but we did have lunch which is better than nothing. "Have a good first day, Piano. I'll see you later!"

As I was traveling to my first period class, I accidentally made eye contact with this devilishly handsome green-eyed boy. Our first moment together was shared with a smile hidden in my expressionless face, along with running my face right into the empty floor of our school. And him, chuckling quietly to himself, not even phasing that I was met unexpectedly with the floor and didn't even dare ask me for a hand up. That's when I knew, we might have a connection here. That's when I felt a strange feeling in my stomach rumble and my head thinking, I have to talk to him. Even though he was just a total asshole to me, watching me fall. We might share an interest..
