Uno [Muse Fanfiction]

Chapter 1 - The Dominic Howard

 My name is [Insert your name here]. I have an ordinary life. I had friends, boyfriends, I studied, graduated and got a job. Although I had a few interesting things, I'd say the main interesting parts are always Muse-related.

 The first time I met Matt was when I picked up a pencil he dropped. And then a friendship began. He was crazy and weird. Always fascinated with aliens and space related stuff. He's still the same to this day. We had an average friendship. I still had other friends and - unknowingly - he had friends too. But we'd always talk during lunch time. Promising ourselves to meet by the music room. But he didnt show up anymore. So I began to worry. I thought that if I waited for him, he'd show up at some point. But he didn't. With a sigh, I was about to get lunch when I heard the piano. I felt at ease all of a sudden. Like the piano paralyzed me. At that moment, I thought back to when I was younger. Back to when I took [Insert your favorite instrument here] lessons. Life wasnt such a bother then. I was free from stress and left with my creative mind. Then I hit puberty. Hormones acted up. I was responsible for more things. I had to take life seriously. It wasnt childs play anymore. Then I snapped back to reality.  

 The melodic notes of the piano slowed down as it was nearing its end. I shook my head, getting myself back together. Curiously, I opened the door to the music room slowly. Making sure to be quiet...I peeked in. The room was dark. The only source of light was from the window. It shined on the piano, like a spotlight. I could see two silhouettes. One was the outline of a boy. He was the one playing the piano. The other was sitting on the table across the piano. It appeared to be a boy also. As there was no bust in the chest area nor did they have long hair. Then, the song ended. The boy who sat at the table clapped then the other would stand.  

"That was great!" 

 "Yeah well you dont need to bloody clap." 

"Alright. Alright. Hey, wanna get some lunch now?" 

 "Yeah. I'm starving." They both headed for the door. I panicked. Quickly, I walked away like nothing happened but I ended up tripping over. One of my shoe laces weren't tied. "Damnit!" I whispered, getting up.  

"Oh? Who's this?" Shit. Shit. Shit!  

 "[Insert your name here]?" Huh? Was that Matt?! I turned around. It was Matt! And some other bloke.  

"You two know each other?" asked the 'bloke'. 

 "Uh yeah. Shes a friend of mine." 

"Friend? Haha! Didn't know you had a girlfriend, Matt!" 

Matt and I glared at the 'bloke' and we both quickly said, "we aren't together!" at the same time. 

'Bloke' laughed and replied with, "You should see the look on your faces!" 

 He then added, "my name's Dominic Howard by the way. But you can call me Dom." With a smirk, he took his hand out for me to shake. Hesitantly, I shook his hand. "[Insert your name here]." 

And that's how I first met Dom.
