Inconvenience [Syndisparklez]

[Six]

Tom's POV

Who's going to die today? This guy! Because I'm bound to at least break my arm or something today. Wisdom and Intuition are terrible at giving advice! Intuition said It'd be a risk and a risk that could potentally make me have to find a new piano place, while Wisdom told me to grow some balls and try. Guess what Wisdom was talking about? He wants me to be honest and sack up and have me flat out ask Jordan out. Of course I'm not actually going to do that, but what I will do is leave early so I don't have the time to do anything.

What's weird is that I've begun to notice him more. I've seen him walking out of the Academy. I've seen him at stores. I even saw him while I was eating in a diner. He was with four other girls. Red-Head and Ridiculous-name were there, then one of the people I saw with purple hair, then another one I saw with purple hair only lighter. I can't really remember the name of the colour.

And each time I saw him, I'd duck behind a stack of creamer, or hide behind a child and her slightly older brother. It made me feel as if I was stalking him. The one thing that always got me was the fact he always wore red sunglasses and with not-see-through lenses. I've never seen him where them but he seems to where them everywhere, even at Mianite Academy because he always has them on when he leaves.

Alice and Amelia were at home, probably ruining my nice white walls with tape or lipstick or something. For some reason, even a little bit of tape peels off the paint and a bit of the wall. Mum never tried to get them out of the house. Alice was on the girls Volleyball team but since she was the only one on the girls' the school had to merge the boys and girls volleyball together, and Amelia went outside all the time for projects and stuff for her photo things. So apparently I'm the only one who hid in the dark and melted if my window got opened.

I still can't get over the fact she's making me learn how to play the piano! I'm tone deaf for f*cks sake!

I chewed nervously on my lip, probably looking like a maniac by the way I gripped my chair. I'm sixteen, not a love-sick little girl. Mum eyed me but didn't say much, assuming that I'm just freaking out about the fact that, yes, this is very high up off the ground and yes, I'll be crushed by many floors of this collapses. Geez, why did I start thinking about that?!

Acrylic nails touched my shoulder and I jerked up, seeing Mrs.Claire with a smile on her face. "Come on, Tom. I know I'm a little late but let's not let it get even later." She said, guiding me over to the piano room. The first thing I saw were bright blue eyes that I pointedly ignored, bulting to the piano instead of greeting him like I do every morning.

I could feel the confusion radiating from him but shrugged it off. It probably made me look like a dick but if I didn't play the part, I'd be a fool instead.

I was afraid that Mrs.Claire would notice I was ignoring Jordan and would comment on it, but whenever I could've sworn she noticed I ignored Jordan, she seemed to brighten. Maybe I was just imagining it. Eventually I heard a clatter in the floor, saw Jordan running out of the room, blood staining the ground behind him.

"It seems his cut from last night reopened." Mrs.Claire mumbled, not even giving a second glance in the direction of the blood. "What cut?" I asked.

"Oh nothing. He just cut himself while cutting... um, food." Mrs.Claire said and I had a familiar suspicion that she wasn't telling the truth. I turned around to see what had fallen but Mrs.Claire immediately grabbed me and pulled my head back towards the piano, saying a quiet "focus" before explaining something further.

I didn't see him after that. Mum payed Mrs.Claire, and that was that.

[A/n: lol sorry this isn't the ending XD anyways schools been hard, my teachers are jerks, but hey, life. I hope you enjoy this short chapter :3]
