The bell rang for first period to start. Still confused about what just happened I headed to class. Percussion probably the only class I actually enjoyed going to.
I walk in the door to find Reese playing the piano. "Do you ever leave?" I teased. He looked up from his hands and smiled. "Do you want to join?" He asked raising one of his eyebrows the smile still on his face. "I would be delighted."
Reese had a body structure almost exactly like mine we were both tall and lanky, but he was more built. Reese had brown medium length hair with razored side bangs on both sides and bangs that went across his forehead. He looked up at me as I approached the piano bench. His eyes were a soft emerald color. He patted the bench next to him "sit!" He demanded. I sat next to him. Reese and I would always have a 'jam session' before class. I started to play, he built on to it, somehow we would find a way to connect and make music that fit so perfectly.
As we played someone walked through the door. I took a quick glance to see who it was. Marley. We made eye contact and she blushed. Mr.Dalton was next to walk through the door. "Beauty is all I hear every time I walk through this door!" He shouted very encouragingly. Almost as if in sync we both hit our end notes and stopped.
I turned around to see the classroom full of all the percussion kids. Variety is all I could see. Freshmen to Seniors. Preps to Loners. Nobody was exactly the same. As I sat on the bench examining all of the new faces one of those new faces walked up the me. "Hi." This stranger said to me very flirtily "Um.. hello" I hesitantly said. "I'm Michele my friends call me chel ... and you're Finn. I'm a freshman and you're a senior, I think we should maybe date, I mean you know all those cute freshman senior relationships. We could have one of those." she winked at me a stroked my hair. "I-" my words trailed off... confused on what just happened I was speechless.
The very next thing anyone heard was Reese laughing so hard that his hands were pushing down on the piano keys causing a terrible sound. Everyone stared while he continued laughing. "Listen sweetheart" He said wiping a tear from his face "You're never going to get a man from practically molesting him in front of everyone... you should go home and think about what you've done. Read a book or something." Trying to hold back my laughter I looked at the girl. Her face flushed with embarrassment and anger she stormed away.
Probably the only girl I knew that didn't have a thing for me was Naomi Campbell. She was one of the most down to earth persons I had ever met. As Naomi walked through the door she apologized for arriving late and then proceeded to trip. Her straight dark brown hair fell over her face as her bangs bounced. She was very petite and very pretty. "Hohohohoho! That was close" she exaggerated relieved that she hadn't fallen. Naomi was a klutz. She plopped her backpack on the ground and made her way over to Reese and I. The dark make up around her blue eyes made her seem really tough even though she wouldn't hurt a fly.
She sat in Reeses lap and kissed his cheek "well hey there sexy" she said while playing with his chin. Reeses face turned red as he smiled at her. Reese and Naomi had been dating for about 6 and a half months now. "Finn where's your woman of choice?" she teased knowing that I didn't have a 'thing' for anyone at this school. or so she thought. "Oh yknow she Uh.. she doesn't exist" I said leaning back against the piano. We all laughed as the bell to leave rang.
A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this part of the story (: how do you feel about Reese and Naomi as individuals , and as a couple?
