Five Paths (A One Direction Fanfic)

Ch.3 Attack of the trashcans

Opening the piano top I run my hands over the smooth keys. I get ready to begin playing Beethoven's 5th symphony in C minor. It was my warm up song, everyday before I begin practicing my current piece I play this song. Getting into position I begin playing and as I play the first 4 notes I say to myself along with it short- short- short- long. Soon I feel my hands take a life of their own as I let myself get sucked into the song and let the familiar melody wrap itself around me. As I start playing the second movement I hear screams from outside the music room I was residing in causing me to lose focus and slam down on the keys in shock. I quickly stand up and rush outside to see what the problem is. It's seems that two girls have pushed a girl against the wall and are yanking her hair.

"What're you doing?" I calmly ask

"A-A-Annie...we were just helping the new student find her way around school"

I grab the two of them by their collars and drag them backwards. I hear them squeak in shock and fear as I throw them against the wall

"If I ever see you two doing anything like that again or even near this music room, you better start calling your daddies about sending you to those fancy boarding schools because in this school you'll be as good as dead." Nodding quickly they scramble to get away as fast as they can.

"Thank you so much. I thought nobody would help." I hear a grateful voice behind me say. Slowly I turn around and glare at the girl I just saved.

"I didn't do it for you, I couldn't care less what happens to you. Next time you wanna mess around and get yourself in trouble do it somewhere else and don't you dare disturb my practice again."

"But you just saved me..."

"THAT'S BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO CONCENTRATE TILL YOU SHOWED UP AN DISTURBED ME. Now get out of my sight" I say trying to get my composure back to normal. The girl runs out of the room with lightning speed. Suddenly I hear a low voice behind me

"Annie......" It whispers

"Huh?" I say as I turn around. Suddenly i see a textbook heading my way and quickly duck.

" YOUR SO MEAN!! HOW DARE YOU YELL AT THAT GIRL, YOU SHOULD'VE HANDLED IT LIKE A LADY OR A HERO OR SOMETHING." I see my best friend Allison scream at me while I try my best to avoid the objects she is constantly throwing at me.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!?! WHY'RE YOU THROWING OBJECTS AT ME?!? IM NOT THE ONE AT FAULT HERE, I SAVED THAT GIRL FROM BEING BULLIED!" I scream back while barely avoiding getting hit in the face with a globe.

"YOU BULLIED HER AFTER SAVING HER,YOU SHOULD'VE JUST STOPPED AFTER HELPING HER BUT NOOOO YOU HAD TO GO AND SCREAM AT THAT POOR GIRL." I pause for a second to retort back when I suddenly get hit with a shoe causing me to fall backwards. Suddenly everything goes black.

".....-nie!"

"Aniiiieeeee"

I slowly blink my eyes open and see Allison's head hovering over mine.

"NURSE NANCY ANNIE'S AWAKEE!!"

" That's great!" I see the nurse approach

"Hnnmm where am I?" I say rubbing my throbbing head

"Oh sweetie don't you remember, you were leaving the bathroom when you tripped over a broom and landed in a trashcan that rolled down the stairs... You were very lucky that your friend here was nearby and able to bring you to the infirmary when she saw you falling down the stairs in the trash can." The nurse explained to me as she felt around my head checking for any bumps. I suddenly remember the previous events that happened earlier today.
