3rd Chapter : "Miss Francis you'll be performing in a month"

                 

"Really? You're twins?!"

I ask Brad.

"Yep."

He replies with a childish smile that made him look like a cute 5 year old boy.

"Miss Pyper over here was the first one to get out from our mom's-"

Brad was cut off by his sister, who slapped the back his head to make him shut up.

Everyone at the table burst into laughters, whereas Brad kept scratching the area where his sister hit him. Pyper didn't bother to lift her gaze from her tray, and stayed silent. She didn't open her mouth, since our discussion about her talent. She was maybe sitting with us at the table, but her mind was elsewhere. She kept cracking her knuckles as if she was getting ready for something.

Was she thinking about getting into a fight or something?

"Well you know what they say: Ladies first"

Ads Tyler as he pushed back his glasses up his nose. Pyper finally lifts her head. Her lips slowly curve into a small  smile.

"So tell us. How long have you been playing the violin?"

I turn my head, and my eyes immediately meet piercing blue ones. Brad then gave me a heart-throbbing smile that could've made any girl go crazy. The kind of smile that made my heart skip a beat.

That boy sure is handsome.

After a few seconds, I finally remember that he asked me a question, and that I had to answer.

"I've started at the age of 5, which means I've been playing the violin for almost 11 years now"

Brad's eyes widen in surprise. He probably didn't expect me to be playing for that many years.

"Do you like it?"

He asks.

Really? What a stupid question to ask.

"Of course dummy"

I reply and playfully roll my eyes, which makes  his smile grow wider.

"Why did you choose the violin? Why didn't you choose another instrument?"

Lina asks, causing me to blush with embarrassment just thinking about the reason.

"Ohhh she's blushing, now I'm intrigued"

Says Brad as he rests both his elbows on the table and brings a hand to his jaw.

"Well...it all started when I was 4 and I used to watch TV a lot with my mom..."

All eyes were focused on me. Everyone at the table was waiting for my explaining and to learn about the reason why I chose this particular instrument that is the violin. Everyone but her.

"One day, a classical music competition was on. Two musicians got on stage: a woman with long blond hair, wearing a gorgeous red dress, and a man with black hair, who wore glasses and an elegant blue suit. A violinist and a pianist."

I close my eyes, remembering the scene in my head: me sitting on the sofa, watching what was happening on the screen with my eyes wide open.

"The man went to sit behind the keyboard and the woman remained on both her feet next to the beautiful black piano"

I was no longer speaking to my friend's around the table. I was remembering the spectacle for myself. The moment I open my eyes, I notice, that Pyper was still refusing to lift her head, but a small smile was now playing on her naturally pink lips. I turn my head. Brad still hasn't taken off his eyes off of me. No one did actually. Tyler and Jason had an amused smile on their faces. They already knew the story. When I was little, I couldn't stop myself, from narrating it to everyone I knew. Especially these two, since they've always been my closest friends.
