It was after school, you decided you would go straight home.

You walked through the halls while humming a tune that had been stuck in your head

Keeping a steady pace, you happened to walk by the music room.

You guessed you'd say hi to the teacher if he was still in there.

However, you heard the faint sound of a piano.

He must've been playing.

You opened the door to the music room.

You crept around a few corners, when you saw that boy at the piano

"What are you doing in here?" You said, accidentally. But went with it anyway.

John's POV

You went into the music room after school, just to play the piano a bit.

You sat down at the piano, playing a few keys.

Then you began to play a song.

A beautiful song, you were already pretty stressed from today's 'events'

This was so relieving, so relaxing.

Until you were interrupted with a buzz of your phone.

You grabbed your phone from your pocket, checking who texted you.

It was Jade

Jade: where are you? I'm ready to go.

You were going to respond when you heard a familiar voice.

"What are you doing in here?" She said, pulling her head from around the corner.

It was that girl from before, you thought she didn't like you, why was she in here?

"I'm just messing around on this piano. I-in fact, I actually have to go...."

She was really cute, and to be honest, you hated it.

But she got angry so easily.

It was probably because you made her cry, but still.

She made an unbelieving expression.

"Sorry, if you wanted to talk, we can talk later"

"What? No, i-"

You cut her off

"Gotta go!"

You ran out of the door, you sprinted to the school entrance.

Your older sister was probably going to be so mad at you.

You ran as fast as you could, until you saw her. You slowed to a jog, then stopped.

"Jade!" You yelled.

She turned and looked at you.

"What took you so long?! Dad would've killed me if I lost you!!"

"Sorry, I was doing something. I'm here now, so we can go home right?"

"Yeah, okay."

She began walking outside, toward her car. You followed behind her.

~•~•~•••~••~•~•~••~••~••~•~•~••~•~

You both sat in the car, silently.

The hum of the car drowned out 'silence' however. This only symbolized silence.

You decided you'd break it, with a question.

"Hey Jade..."

She slightly turned her head toward you, still looking at the road.
