*flashback*
' "stop playing your stupid classical music! I can't hear myself think! Just be quiet for once!" My neighbor yelled out the window.

"I'm sorry." I muttered.

"Yeah whatever, but you better shut the fuck up because it's annoying. I hate classical."

She muttered the last part. But I couldn't stop.

I hoped she knew it wasn't recorded, and it was me playing, but she probably didn't.

I shook my head and closed the window. After making my way back to my bench I placed my fingers delicately on the keys.

I closed my eyes and started playing a song by heart.

I didn't know they name, just the notes.

It was my favorite and always would be. All my energy were released into my fingers, playing the notes, producing a beautiful sound to my ears.

A smile appeared in my face. But I disappeared when I remembered my sister and father would be home soon.

My electric fingers stopped, they twitched a little bit. Then I sighed.

I heard the door unlocking and I pounced up and ran upstairs, locking my door and get to g out my back pack. "We are home!" My dad yelled. I gave out a shaky breath. '

I realized I was parked in the driveway.

I probably need to buy a lock for my door. I walked inside and jogged up the stairs with my bag.

I have a ton of homework today. Including the terrible triplets.

I know, I know, a weird nickname. But I don't care, I always am. I turned on some music I randomly had from some unpopular people that played classical.

I recognized the song right away.

And so I trekked on to my homework or should I say 'our' homework.

But as soon as I started I got interrupted by a loud truck.

What the helicopter ?

Shut up, I know I'm weird.

I parted my blinds so I could see what all the rukus was about.

Three moving trucks in a row, and a big fancy car at the end. It was so fancy that I didn't know what they were called.

My eyebrows furrow as a happy family stepped out, but there was no dad. A mom, a daughter, and a little son. As soon as the other door opened, I frowned.

A  teenage boy. He looked around, as if approving.  His back faced me. He had tousled brown hair, and a leather jacket with jeans.

No no no.

He turned around with a scowl, which soon turned into a devious smirk.
My frown deepened.

His hazel eyes met mine. It was like a lazier piercing through my eyes. Like he was trying to read me, to find all my secrets.

I stiffened.

I blinked .

Then I looked down.

I felt my cheeks flush.

This can't be right. I hate neighbors.
