BEAUTY FROM ASHES

SEVEN

~No amount of physical beauty will ever be as valuable as the heart~

I excused myself from the lunch table, I don't think they noticed.

I walked to the music department and I sat down. Despite me not knowing where everything else is I made sure I knew where the music department is.

I knocked on the door a few times, since I heard no response I opened the door.

The room was empty.

I smiled and walked to the piano. I sat down and started playing on the keys.

My mind drifted off and before I knew it I was singing. I was so caught up in the song and my emotions that I didn't hear clapping.

I quickly turn around to see Connor standing in the doorway. I quickly got up. He chuckled, "You're really good Milea. Wow, there's some talent going on there." I chuckle. "Thanks." He nodded.

I fiddled with my fingers. "What instruments do you play?" He glanced up at me, "I play the drums. How about you?Well besides playing the piano and signing." "Well I also play the guitar." He smiled and nodded.

I stared at the door, "Does anyone else do music in the grade?" He shook his head. "Nope, guess your stuck with me." I chuckled, "Your not that bad. I mean if anything your wayy better than the couple who was busy making out at lunch."

He scrunched up his nose, "Aiden and Hailey?" I nodded. He shook his head,  "Sorry you had to see that." I chuckled, "No worries, it's okay."

Just then the teacher walked in. He clapped his hands, "Another student. Aren't we lucky Connornelias?" I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced at Connor.

He chuckled, "Milea, this is Mr Antinios but he prefers to be called Louis and he enjoys giving his students a nickname." I burst out laughing, "So you're Connornelias." He smirked, "Yup, Louis what'll her nickname be?"

I stare at the two of them who are "silently" consulting the matter. Louis lifts a finger up in the air and points at me. "I've got it! Mileasimo!" Connor burst out laughing and nodded. "Yes, I love it."
I chuckled, "Alright then, Mileasimo it is then."

The rest of the two periods consisted of us playing the musical instruments and talking.

Connor is such a nice guy, despite him looking so tough he's actually a sweetiepie.

He has a fear of heights and he enjoys a bit of cooking. He has an older brother by the name of Jason. But he's in college and hardly comes home. Connor lives with his Mom Colleen. His parents divorced when he was young.

Louis is married to my AP English teacher and I must say, they are the cutest couple ever.

After school I was heading to my locker to put my books down when I bumped into Aiden.

He glared at me, "Watch where your going clumsy." I rolled my eyes, "If you hadn't been glued to your phone maybe you would have seen me walking."

He took a moment and stared at me as I packed my books in my bag. I glanced at him, "Can I help you?" He rolled his eyes and walked away.

I watched him disappear into the corridors.I groaned out of frustration.
I then closed my locker and I then got hopped into the car, mom glanced at me, "How was your first day?" I smiled, "Really good.

Before we got home we made a pit stop and got  coffee. We then drove to the little book store and I bought myself a few books.

Then we headed home. As soon as I opened the door I saw my dad  in the kitchen. "Hey dad, you're home early." My dad turned around and smiled. "So how was it?" I smiled and nodded. "Surprisingly really good." My mom smiled, "Did you make any friends?" I smiled, "Yeah. Apparently they're a big shot in the high school. They are really nice people." My mom smiled, "Awww Millie I'm so happy." I smiled and nodded.

I then head upstairs and get cracking on my homework.

-Three Hours Later-

I was just finishing up my Biology homework. My thoughts were distracted when my phone started ringing.

I check the caller ID: Ava. I smile and pick up the phone.

"Hey Ava, missing me already I see." She chuckled, "You wish. I just called to say sorry for ditching you today at lunch."

Awww my heart is full. She's so cute. "Thanks Ava, and no worries. Is Bella okay though?" Ava sighs, "Yeah she is. That's a long story for another day on it's own. But I'm glad we good. How was your day? Was it at least okay?"

I chuckle, "It was amazing thank you. How was yours?" Ava chuckled, "Good thanks. Anyway I need to go, see you tomorrow." "Bye Ava."

-End Of Call-

I quickly freshened up and then went down for dinner.
