fracas. ♪

He looked up, then back at his phone. To no doubt, this was the adress. "The Grand Calliope Art Studio", this place was a place where artists could practice or learn. Whether it was painting, dancing or music. Any form of art was to be accepted. With delicate steps, he went right inside.

"Hello there..! How may I help you today?"

"Good afternoon, I was here to meet.. Kameo Williams.?"

"Oh, yes of course! Studio 27, floor 9. The elevator is to the right."

"Thank you very much." Mei headed towards the stairs, he wanted to see more of this building, 9 floors may be lot for a human, but it was small for an art nerd!

He was infront of the door to the booked studio.

"Alright Mei, you cam definetly do this. Overcome your fears!" He wasn't going to let his shyness get to him this time, with a deep breath, he walked inside.

There he was. The guy who he was supposed to meet. Hazel eyes and brown hair. He was practically the same height? No.. a tad bit shorter than Mei. He cleared his throat as he spoke.

"Glad to be meeting you, I am Mei Hai."

"Oh, finally youre here. I was expecting you.." he checked his watch. "2 minutes earlier."

Mei looked rather annoyed now. "Well, Im very sorry Williams, my bus was exactly 2 minutes late."

Kameo shook his head.
"Nevermind, lets just get on with this. So, how long have you been playing the piano?"

Mei put his bad down on the couch in the studio, and hanged his coat. "Since I was 9."

Kameo had a suspicious look. "Well.. why dont you play a Waltz? How about... Waltz in A Minor by Chopin?"

Oh this violinist was cocky alright! Waltz A Minor was a beloved, dearest piece for Mei. He loved Chopins pieces, and when he first learnt this piece, it was a suffering for him. It seemed easy, but it was rather difficult. Mei knew what this Snobby Violinist was up to.

Mei smiled kindly. "Yeah, of course."

Kameo pointed to the grand piano in the middle of the room with his eyes. "Well then?"

Mei walked over to the piano, raising the keylid delicately, because he knew that being tough to such a beautiful instrument was just disrespectful.

The sound board was just magnificent to look at, this piano was very fine, that was for sure.

He sat down on the small piano stool and placed his hands on the keys.

"I will do a quick little arpeggio, if you don't mind."

Mei said, without looking at him.

Kameo nodded, "of course, go on please."

After a few arpeggios, Mei felt he was warmed up enough to play the piece now. He began playing it in a moderate tempo, not breaking it once.

Kameo stood there as he listened to Mei playing the piece, he had to admit now, Mei sounded so much better than what he had expected. Normally, he wouldve cut him short, but for some reason, this particular performance felt a little too special to simply destroy.
