I yawned squinting my eyes as I looked over to my alarm clock who just didnt want to stop beeping. I reach over slamming my hand onto it hoping that it would just shut up. Rolling out of bed stumbling on my shoes as I try to get to my closet to pick out an outfit for school. Grabbing a random white v-neck and black skinny jeans I quickly change out of my pjs into this. I go to the bathroom and quickly brush through my hair thanking my mother for having perfectly straight hair everyday because that meant I wouldn't have to waste time messing with it. Swiftly putting on a dot of lip gloss then rubbing it in, this was my daily routine. I stuff my feet into some old vans when I look up to my window to my neighboring house where Harry lived. Just the thought of his name angered me. I watched him a moment as he put on his designer clothes and grabbed his fancy watch, god that guy had it all. It made me sick just thinking about how he took it all for granted.

"Shit" I spat as I chased after the bus I had just missed. I shove earbuds into my ears as I listen to some Usher song. I feel the wind fly past me as Harry's black Mustang sped down the street past me. Hearing myself sigh out of sheer jealousy upset my because I didn't like to be jealous I had everything I needed plus more so why should I envy a car that Harry would probably wreck anyways. Glancing at my phone I saw that I would need to start running if I wanted to get to school in time.

"Woah little lady what's up with you?" John who is pretty much my best friend in the school teased as he saw me rush to Mr.Carters class, my cheeks red from the running it took to get here. "God I went through hell to get to school on time and Mr.Carter isn't even here to appreciate my presence." I said panting trying to recover my breath. We went to a school for the "musically gifted" which was fancy talk for instead of p.e and study hall we go study music and play instruments. After a boring history class all us students went different ways to go to our buildings where we practiced our instruments. On the way to my building where I played piano I saw Harry and this cute little blonde talking under a tree. I couldn't faintly make out what she was saying when I heard her ask if Harry would go out with her. "No thanks I think I'll pass" Harry abruptly shot back at her. He turned his back as I saw tears roll down her cheeks. "Ugh what a jerk I mumbled to myself" as I walked away from yet another rejected Harry victim.

I yanked open the double doors to the piano room where I usually studied, it was empty as usual. No one every went to this room because the A/C was always blasting freezing cold air making me feel like I was in Antarctica. I sat at the bench of the piano humming to myself as I played bits and pieces of my favorite songs. We had a few months of school left so we were planning to put on a little production with our schools best singers accompanied by a musical instrument to sing a song at graduation. I was assigned to accompany a student as he or she sang a solo. "They must be pretty freaking great to get a solo" I said to myself feeling honered to be able to play for them. I glanced at the clock they were 15 minutes late what the hell was going on? Well I might as well take my chance to go pee now before they get here. I rush to the ladies stall leaving my piano room abandoned.

Wiping my hand on my jeans I slightly tug on the door of my piano room. I get goose bumps as the voice of an angel pierces my ears, who could it be I move hastily over to the front of the stage to greet my partner and get a better look at what I hope if a beautiful face to match a beautiful voice. "Hey I'm Aj ill be your pianist partn..." I stop mid sentence as Harry glances up from the keyboard to meet my eyes. His green eyes shoot shivers down my spine "Yeah I know who you are Aj. Your the geeky girl who lives in the house next to me. Now if we could hurry that would be great cuz I kinda gotta go." I was astounded. What the hell did he just say to me. My body moved on its own to the piano, just wanting to comply to what Harry had just asked for,which was a hurried rehearsal.

After about 30 minutes of what was supposed to be a 2 hour practice Harry said "Aj as fun as its been ive really got to get moving." I nodded not being able to control the anger pulsing though my veins. "Thanks cutie" he said looking down at me as he stood up from the piano. Harry cupped my chin in his hands tilted my face up to meet his "and no need to tell the director right." He smirked. I jolted away from him surprising myself as much as I surprised him. "Heh" Harry huffed turning away, walking through the doors. What just happened all these feeling of anger and disappointment jumped around in my head. I looked up to the ceiling and whispered "dear god why me? Why the hell pair him with me?"
