Crescent Wood Academy

10. What lesson?

"Go back downstairs, why are you interrupting. I'm talking to your brother." Raymond looking back to Josh.

"Because...Sofia said nothing happened." Julianna eyes glued to the floor, as her hands were tightly gripped onto the skirt of her dress.

Raymond quickly looking over towards Julianna.

"She said that? That's what she said?"

"Yes dad....she's down stairs talking it over with her dad."

Raymond taking a deep sigh, he places his hand over Josh shoulder. "Consider this a lesson, learn from this ok?"

Josh looks to him confused, "What do you mean? What type of lesson is this dad?"

The scoffed, getting closer to Josh's face. "I'm not stupid. I know about all the whores you mess around with. So take this in as you will." Raymond then backed away, glancing to his wife. "Let's go down and talk with them honey."

Kristi nodding, walking over to him.

Josh looks over to his dad in disbelief.

"Are you ok?" Julianna running up to him. Glancing at his face, checking for any injuries.

Josh nods before quickly walking away from her, running down stairs. Past his parents.

Grabbing his keys, leaving the house. Raymond looks over to his wife with a displeased expression on his face.

......

"Hey, I'm back." Erin says, entering the music room.

"Finally, you took a lot longer than you said." Evan said while getting his music notes out. He glanced up, noticing someone else coming in behind Erin.

Jocelyn seeing him, and she immediately felt a sense of awkwardness hit her.

"I invited Jocelyn. You don't mind right?" Erin flashing him a smiling as she walked over to him. Placing her case on the piano.

Evan glanced over to Jocelyn, then back to Erin. Shaking his head, "I don't mind.."

Jocelyn nodding, as her eyes began looking around the room. Analyzing it all. Her arms crossed as she slowly walked around.

Erin noticing, a faint smile appearing "Have you never been in here before?"

"Once sort of, but I didn't really take a full look of the room." Jocelyn's eyes locking onto the upright bass in the room. Walking towards it.

Her finger lightly touching the surface of the string, then backed away. She turns and see's the twins watching her. Evan quickly averting his eyes back to the keys of the piano. Erin smiling to her, "You can take a seat anywhere. That's if you want to."

"Oh, ok." She walks over to a chair near them, taking a seat.

"oh yeah, I forgot to mention even though you probably can tell. That's my twin Evan. He's not much a talker."

"Right, I forget you have a brother. Jennifer is only ever mentioning you and your sister."

"What does she say about my sister?" Erin looking curious as she began to take out her violin.

"Nothing much, just that she is friends with Josh's sister. She thinks that's how you and Josh got close. Through your sister."

A small laugh escaping, "She's not too far off, but it was the other way around. Our sisters became friends through us. How I met Josh was from Kevin."

"Oh, so you guys way back."

"Yeah, shocks me now how much we all changed. Especially me and him." Her eyes softening, remembering back as her smile went away. Something seemingly to be bothering her.
