Chapter 2: The Library Talk

Abby woke up, the sun shining on her face. She groaned and pulled the covers to her face. It is already Saturday and she had piano classes to attend in two hours.

"Abby!" Her mother calls and burst through her door. "You have piano class today, you don't want to be late!" Her mother pulled the covers away from her face.

"It'll be in two hours mom, give me thirty." She groans covering her face with a pillow.

"Fine! Thirty." Her mother leaves the room shutting it behind her. Abby streches her arm and reached for her phone on the bed side table.

She received a text, it was from Tommy.

Thank you for spending the night with me Abby, I hope you had fun.

Abby reads as her tummy burst into butterflies. She really liked him. Abby sent a quick reply to Tommy as she sit up on her bed.

She carefully rub her eyes and pushed her hair back. Although she still had thirty minutes to sleep, she decided to just spend it choosing on what she was going to wear.

She landed on a pair of black jeans and a white blouse. Abby then headed to her bathroom and took a shower. After showering she did her hair and changed into the clothes and put on her black boots.

"Abby wake up!" Her mother stopped at the corridor looking at Abby all dressed up and ready to go. "Oh, you're ready." She says lowering her voice. "Breakfast is set downstairs. "

Abby nods her head and walk behind her mother with her bag in her shoulders.

She carefully sat on the chair as the butler serves her breakfast. She ate it fast and waved her mother goodbye as she get in the car.

Abby arrived at the studio early and decided to play some songs. She plays Moonlight Sonata as her fingers moved to the beat. It was her favorite piano piece of Beethoven and grew up listening to it.

As she finishes the notes, she heard a clap that echoed through the room. She looked around saw the ginger boy from the circus last night.

"What a great play!" He says walking closer to Abby as her eyes widen in surprise.

"How do you know I'm here?" She says bolting up her fingers shaking.

"It just so happened that the circus is just yards away and I heard a piano music that was playing inside here, so I checked it out." He says shrugging his shoulders. Abby rolled her eyes and walked closer to him.

"You're weird." She says staring into his green eyes, strangely like hers. Jerome leaned down as Abby closed her eyes when they heard a voice from behind.

"Good morning Abby, who is this?" Abby's instructor says as Abby looked at her, Jerome never moved a bone. He was pissed, she could tell.

"Uhm, just a friend Madam Lucy." Abby replies as Jerome turned around to the instructor.

"I'm gonna go. See you around." Jerome says with a wide fake smile in his face.

After Jerome got out of the room, Madam Lucy started instructing Abby. They practiced some pieces as their time ended.

Abby was forced to wait at the library because her driver was away. He needed to get Abby's mother to her work which was way too far from the studio.

Abby walks on the sidewalk, her hands on her pockets, looking down on the ground. Then she felt a nudge on her shoulder. It was Jerome again.

"Hi again." He says with the same smile had last night.

"Hey Jerome!" She says enthusiastically while she waves her hand.

"Where are you going?" He ask while walking alongside with Abby.

"I'm going to the library." Abby replies tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Great! That'll be fun."

"You're coming?" Jerome nods his head while he moves closer to Abby until the library was into view.

"You love reading books?" Jerome ask as they got in the library.

"Yes, but I'm not in the mood today. I had enough piano lessons." Abby replied with a deep sigh as they pass through the librarian who smiled at Abby.

Abby was known here, this is their parents library that they opened for the public and she visited here weekly.

"She seems very strict." Jerome says tucking his hands on his jacket pockets. He always seemed to wear jackets.

"Not really." Abby replied walking through one of the shelves while Jerome follows her like a tail.

"How old are you Abby?" Jerome ask while Abby stops at a book where she thought was interesting. She grabbed it and rested it on her palms.

"I'm 16. And you?" Abby turned to Jerome and smiled.

"18." He replies as Abby walked to the tables. Jerome follows, as always.

"Tell me, what are you gonna do tonight." Jerome sat down next to Abby as he rested his chin on his palms.

"I'm probably gonna sleep." Abby says opening the book and covering her face from Jerome.

"Do you want me to visit you?" Abby puts down her book and looked at Jerome.

"You can't visit me." She says covering her face again from Jerome with the book she was reading.

"But why? I know where you live."

"What the hell Jerome? Why do know where I live?" Abby exclaimed but it turned into a whisper.

Jerome laughed.

"I'll see you tonight doll." Jerome stands up and walks to the exit door.

"When did you started calling me that name? And who gave you permission too?"

Abby started smiling as Jerome got out. She felt butterflies around her stomach, she felt weird with his presence but she liked it. She liked him.
