School Hunk || Felix Lee

IX

I sat on the stool and pressed a key, it's been so long since I last played the piano. When was the last time? A couple weeks? A few months? I don't even know anymore. The piano felt very, different, strange and unfamiliar. How long has it actually been since I touched a piano?

I started off with something slow and easy as a warm-up - 'Moonlight Sonata' - a classic. It started off strong, but after maybe the first five bars? The song started going downhill. I kept playing the wrong keys.

It was frustrating.
It was annoying.
It was irritating.

I was getting impatient, I can literally feel fumes coming out from the top of my head.

Then I heard someone laughing, I looked out the door and Lilliana was there. She looked at me and walked into the room still giggling. I calmed myself down and tried to look natural, there is no need for her to see me looking firetruck red, even though she probably already saw it.

"This is how you do it, you idiot. Move over." She asked or rather commanded me to scoot over and make space for her on the stool. She sat down and played the piece smoothly with no mistakes or 'hiccups', I was shook.
"You play the piano? Since when?" I didn't know she played the piano, not that I ever asked.
"Since I was three." Okay, no wonder she's that good.

"Can you teach me how to play the piano?" Why did I just ask that?

I know why, because I praise the fact that her piano skills are amazing

It can't be that bad, right? It's not like we're going to end up dating, it's not like I'll end up dead after this, and It's not like I'll get stabbed either.

"Sure, I don't see why not." She shrugged, "only if you promise me you'll grant me one wish."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Because I'm not doing this for free."
"Okay, as long as it's within reason."
"Deal, pinky promise." She held up her pinky and I brought my hand up and locked my pinky with hers. I smiled, she's so childish.

She stood up from the stool and walked behind me, she leaned over me and put her hands over mine.

And that was the method she tried to use to teach me how to play the piano. That feeling though when she put her hands on mine, it was irritating yet enjoyable? I'm so confused.

"Hey, Lilliana."
"Hmm?"
"Can you teach me again tomorrow at lunch? I enjoyed that." It's true I enjoyed it.
"Maybe, depends on my mood."
"Is that a yes or a no?"
"It's a maybe."

Geez. Should I come back here at lunch tomorrow or not?

I opened up my locker to only find another pastel pink note. Oh, and to get my books for the next class.

I tore opened the envelope and started reading the probably-a-confession-note note.

Yup, it is.

Dear Felix

I wrote this because I think I like you, maybe it was since year one or maybe in year two. I really like you, I like everything about you from head to toe, but I want to say this to you in person. 

Is it possible that you meet me in front of the main school gate after school, please?

Yeri

Yeri...Yeri...oh yeah! She was that kid that always sat in the corner reading her book throughout primary school. Her handwriting is pretty neat.

But, that note sounded a bit cliché, like a movie vomited those lines out onto the note.

She's not my type though, too neat, too smart, too pretty, to make a long story short, she's just too perfect. It actually irritates me being that close to perfection. Besides, she probably only like my looks 'from head to toes' and not actually me as a person.

And, there goes the ear piercing bell, I better get to my next class.

~~~~

I was pretty much the last one to walk out of the main block after the 'go home' bell went off. I was about to walk to the bus stop through the side gates but then I remembered, Yeri is probably still waiting for me at the main gate.

As much as I want to get home sooner, there's no way I can leave a lady waiting like that.

I sighed, I'm gonna miss the bus. I walked towards her but she was looking the other way.
"Yeri?"
She turned around, "oh, you're here." 

Yeah, I am. 

"Yeri, I think instead of dating each other we should just become friends." Okay, breathe in, breathe out...wait for it...Ooooooooh friend zoned, "You can come and hang out with me and my mates tomorrow if you want." I offered
She inhaled deeply then exhaled before talking again, "Nah, it's okay, I just wanted an answer from you." She smiled as she finished talking.

It's probably like those really cliché films or books where the smile is fake and on the inside, she's probably torn apart.

"I need to go now Felix, see you later."
"Oh, okay, bye." 

It's a real good thing that she said she needed to leave, otherwise, it would be very awkward if both of us had nothing to say. I turned around and was going to walk to the bus stop, but I saw Lilliana in the distance. Why is she still here at school?

I sprinted towards her yelling her name, "Lilliana! Lilliana!" It's not like anyone's gonna look at us weirdly, everyone already left for home.
She turned around to face me, "What do you want?"
"Why are you still at school?"
"Because." I rolled my eyes, here we go again
"Because?"
"Becuase."
"Because of what?"
"Because I so happen to walk past the library and helped the librarians. Why are you still here?"
"Because."
"Because of what?"
"Just because."
"Of what?"
"Just to meet someone."
"Okay, never mind, pretend I never asked, I don't wanna know."
"I never wanted to tell you anyway."

She rummaged through her bag but stopped, "Shit."
"What is it?"
"I forgot my bus card."
"Do you have coins?" I asked, obviously not because I'm concerned about her.

She rummaged through her bag again but shook her head. "Nope."
I looked through my bag hoping I forgot some coins at the bottom of my bag. Luckily there is, all those times I couldn't be bothered to clean my bag paid off. I handed her the coins but she gave me a confused face, "Why are you giving this to me?"

"Because you have to get home somehow unless you want to walk your butt off, then I'm happy to keep my coins."
"Nope, give it to me," she said and snatched the coins out of my hand.

She took the coins but didn't even say thanks. 

Why did I decide to give her those coins in the first place? I could've kept them and bought some lollies and she would've had to walk all the way home, it wouldn't even just be her butt that will fall off, her limbs will too.

She's so annoying.

A/N

I have no inspiration or ideas to continuing writing my story, but yet I still want to continue writing it, but I'm too lazy to do so. That doesn't even make sense

I'm so annoyed at something, probably something about this book. The thing is I don't know what I'm annoyed about specifically. I'm confused at myself. 

to be honest, I think this is such a shitty book, the only reason I'm still continuing is that I find writing fun. 

I'm just ranting about random things that I don't even understand .-.

Vote or something, do something with your life.
