Try hard

Piano

Michaels PoV

I wondered around the corridors with no aim. No where I wanted to be. I swear, this school really looks like an asylum. It feels like it is. It feels like this school is slowly but surely making me go insane.
The lights bounced over the extremely white walls and gleaming grey speckled floor, making it almost impossible to see without squinting.

I could hear the distant hum of people in the canteen, my goal was to try and avoid it at all costs. Socialising wasn't my forte.

I tried to block out the noise, leaving myself to my own thoughts, but something stopped me.

I could hear something. Something much quieter than the hum of people. Something with a distinctively different sound. I decided to follow the sound, I had nothing better to do.

The soothing sound of a grand piano made me feel at ease, giving me a break from my racing thoughts. Who would be in the music room now? I mean, it's lunch time, no one ever goes into music at lunch, well, except me, Luke and Cal but it's our thing.

I decided to investigate further and actually find the music room that the sound was coming from. It felt as if I had wondered endless amounts of corridors before I started to recognise the song. 'Iris' by the goo goo dolls. One of the best songs of all time.

Suddenly, to my surprise, the pianist started to sing. Her voice couldn't be described in any way other than beautiful. It was medium pitched but with a light raspiness to it. It managed to be feminine yet extremely edgy. Nothing like I'd ever heard before. It was, dare I say it, even better than Luke's voice. And that's saying something.

I hummed along to the tune, amazed at how someone could play a song so beautifully. I slowly stepped up to the door that the music was coming from

'Room 253'

I peered through the small glass window in the door to find the a girl sitting at the piano, her hands gently working the keys. Her long white blonde hair hung in loose curls on her, back as she sang her heart out.

'And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now"

I continued to peer through the window in awe at what I was hearing. The music room was quite dull, beige walls stood tall above anyone who stood in the room, the dark brown carpets adding to the dismal colour theme. In the middle of the room, a beautiful black grand piano stood, carefully placed so that the pianist had their back to the door. Thank goodness for that, if this girl saw me, I think I would die. Who would want someone watching them, but I couldn't help myself, She was out of this world.

As the second verse drew to a close, I caught myself quietly singing along. I've always hated my voice, I'm pretty shït at singing so I don't do it often. Our voices complimented each others in a strange way. Not that she would know of course, I was way too quiet.

As the song progressed, I tried to add a few harmonies. We seriously sounded great together, well, she sounded great, me on the other hand. Hardly any of may attempts at harmonising worked though, but it was worth a try.

The song began to end, the girl playing the last few bars with ease. It's seemed as if she'd played that song a million times in order to perfect it. Before I knew it, it was over, I kept my gaze on this girl, in awe of her talent. I kind of recognise her but I still have no clue on who she is at all.

Her bleached hair was flicked to one shoulder as she started to turn her head towards the door. I panicked and moved away from the window, pressing myself against the wall so she couldn't see me. She couldn't know I was watching her.

I had no control over my legs. They started running without permission from my brain. I sped along the corridor before slowing down to a power walk. I could hear her footsteps coming from behind me, getting closer by the second.
