You're the Music of My Heart

Four: Subs, Spills, and Sappy Movies (pt. 1)

"Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections. Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you. You're my end and my beginning even when I lose I'm winning." ~John Legend *how ironic to choose that song of all options XD

I slumped in the piano seat as soon as Jean walked out of my dorm, almost as if a 100-pound weight was lifted off of my aching shoulders. That kid meant a log to me, despite the fact we had met at a coffee shop only a small amount of time ago. God, a coffee shop. So cliche. It was cute but still, the sappiness of an oh-so-romantic coffee shop meet-up is totally typical.

I needed to practice to have all of the sheet music mastered perfectly, but on the contrary, I had to take a break and find something to do. Some of my friends were busy right now, guarantee, with classes but a few were off. My stomach began to growl like a slight hungry under-the-bed or inside-the-closet monster waiting to pounce at you like the prey of a small child, nightmares manifested in their head so strong it was almost tangible. I tug at the pocket of my beige Cardigan sweater and pull out my phone and check for notifications: nothing; not much of a surprise though. I decided to hopefully break that. I press my home button and tap on my messaging app and click Armin, Reiner's, Bert'l's, and Annie's group chat.

Marco: hey are you guys free?

There was a slight pause before the 'typing' sign glowed at the bottom of the screen and a response popped up.

Armin: Just got out of classes but now I'm good. you got plans?

Marco: just wanting to know if anyone wanted to go to Trost Sandwiches to get some early dinner. besides just wanting to hang out with you guys for a bit

Armin: yeah! that sounds like a good idea. I should be back in like 10 minutes so just wait.

Bert'l: stuck in orchestra class still so can't go sorry~

Marco: ah that's fine hbu Reiner? Annie?

Reiner: can't go either u dumb ass I'm with bert'l but bring me a BMT with italian bread? and a bag of baked lays, thanks

Annie: yeah, I'll be right up to your dorm in like 5 minutes

Bert'l: like i said sorry, when we get back we can have like a movie night or something?

Reiner: dude totally up with that idea cuz I get to cuddle with my honey~

Bert'l: aww love ya too

Annie: omfg you two lovebirds are literally probably sitting next to each other now get out of orchestra class and find a room

Reiner: i think that sounds like an interesting suggestion and you honestly have no experience anyways;)

Annie: if you don't shut up I'm going to beat the living shit out of you as soon as i see you later got that?

Bert'l: heh heh heh don't do that cuz my nubby will get hurt

Armin: anyways... so me and Annie will meet up with you in 10 minutes max your dorm?

Marco: yeah that sounds like a good idea.

Annie: k see ya

Armin: bye

Marco: see ya!

I grin like a fool and turn off my phone, shoving it back into my pocket. This is why they're my best friends~ I think. I grab my red beanie from the counter next to my bed and change my clothes into a pair of burgundy denim jeans, a gray pair of Winston Vans, and a cardamon-orange scarf. Comfortable and pleased with my new outfit, I grab my wallet and car keys and sit on the edge of my bed. In the nick of time, a faint knock comes from the door and a small blonde-hair girl steps into the small foyer. Her hair is put into a messy ponytail, the sides of her bangs cresting over the tips of her ears and her stormy, azure (eh Avija??) eyes throw permanent and infinite daggers into my soul.

"Hey Annie!" I kindly greet her and she responds with a small smile and a head nod. "We taking your car, my car, or Armin's?" she asks nonchalantly. "Probably mine because Armin isn't hear and this was all my plan. Or unless you wanna take the subway downtown." She blows the bangs out of her face and shrugs plainly. "I honestly don't really care what we go on. But subways are claustrophobic." I sigh, usual Annie she was. "Alright, that's fine. Just throwing out any ideas-"

The door of the dorm swiftly opens and Armin jumps through. "Sorry it took so long! Ms. Ral had me help after class for a few minutes." He grabs his wallet out of his backpack pocket and carefully places it inside of his jean pockets. "We ready to go or what?" Annie impatiently retorts and I grin. "That's so usual of you, Annie" I remark and she gives a small smile. Smiles from her are a blessing.

"Oh and by the way, remember Bert'l and Reiner want subs too so remember that. And you guys up for a movie night still?" Armin grins like a Cheshire Cat. "Totally! Besides the other two can come over and so can Ymir and Krista!"
"Krista works at Trost Sandwiches anyways so we can ask her when she gets off her shift." Annie states. "Good idea, guys. Oh! What movie you its up for?" "Hm... how bout a horror movie?" Annie says. "Like Jeepers Creepers?" Armin's hands go up in the air. "How bout something like Titanic or maybe Emperor's New Groove?" I look at him and beam. Typical Armin. "I'm up for Emperor's New Groove. And next time Annie you can call dibs on the movie." "Thanks," she mutters, her hands resting in her gray warm up sweater. "How bout we get there cuz I'm hungry!" I say and everyone seems to snap back into reality. "Yeah me too!" Armin says and I grab my car keys and wallet.

In a handful of seconds, we're walking down the steps of the Haydn Dormitory Building and into the frothy and sleety slush glued to the concrete sidewalk. We trot towards my car in the parking lot and I pull out my jingling keys and press the 'unlock' button followed by a humming click. I step into my glossy, cinnamon-red 2013 Chevy Impala and sit down onto the seat. Annie sits besides me in the passenger seat an Armin in the back.

Immediately, Teenagers by My Chemical Romance begins to play and I wince, realizing I had forgotten to take it out before I got out of the car last time. You're so dumb Marco.

Annie looks up intrigued by my music choice. "You like My Chemical Romance?" she asks me. "Yeah!! Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy are also pretty good too." "Good artist choices." she responds and I sigh, ready for some good time later today.~

So here we are, making plans to go eat at some sub shop because its cheap and college kids are always cheap and having plans to watch Emperor's New Groove. This is going to be quite an interesting night.

Hey guys!! Sorry it took so long to post. Had some writers block and Halloween too so I was busy. Plan to post in the next week or so, hopefully. And I was busy playing my 3DS for so much time too so... Anyways! Stay tuned for more chapters or new info!!

Stay classy, Andrew
