"Um, I'm not hungry anymore" the sight of seeing so many people in one room and at such a close proximity was all too much for me, I was kidding myself if thought that I could attend college and act like a normal teenager.
"Awh no why? Look at all these people I hardly no anyone. Plus you're my partner for the next year"
"Yeah for projects not babysitting"
and with that I turn and walk away from her, I wasn't here to make friends or get close to people I just needed a good education to get to university and so and so forth.
I decided I wanted to take a walk around the school, well the parts of the school that I actually needed to be in. I took out the new map that I was given and tried to figure out where I was and I where I needed to go. Once I'd figured it out I set off on my way.
As I'm making my way to the english block I hear some music coming from one of the rooms and I go to investigate.
Once I reach the door the music stops and I hear mumbling and then possibly someone getting up and walking towards the door, I quickly run into another room so the person doesn't think I was creeping oin them.
I turn around to see where I am and I find myself staring at a Classenti GP-146 Baby Grand Piano, it's beautiful. Although I'm not studying music, I know how to play piano and sing. I guess I'm just not confident to do it as a subject and it would also mean interacting with people and I don't really want to do that unless it's absolutely neccessary.
I sit on the piano stool and finger the keys, they're beautiful. I start playing River flows in you by Yiruma, I think it's a beautiful piece of music I keep playing the song and changing the key and pace of it just to see what it sounds like. While I'm doing this I don't notice that I'm being watched.
"If music be the food of love, play on"
I look up to see from whom the voice came from and I see that guy that laughed at me earlier this morning. What was his name? Dylan? Dominic? I don't know, it doesn't matter anyway.
"Are you studying music?" he says to me as he gets another stool from the side to come and sit next to me
"No I'm not, and you can have my stool because I'm going now"
"Oh don't be shy like I said if music be the food of love, play on"
"Are you Shakespeare or something? I'm not shy I'm just hungry, so bye"
"Hey where are you oing? I didn't mean to scare you off"
"You're not scaring me off I'm just really hungry and I'm done playing anyway"
"Awh well wait for a bit and you can get something to eat with me I'm starving but in the meanwhile please carry on playing"
What was this guy on about, what did he want and why did he want me to keep playing. I had to leave this scene was getting too uncomfortable for me.
"Nah sorry bye"
And I ran off down the corridor in the direction I came from.
When I get back to the canteen there are less people there so I think I can handle it.
I walk up to the counter with a mars bar, chicken mayo sandwich and pay. I then go to an empty table near the back of the canteen.
I've nearly finished eating when I spot a
