We finally reach Jon's house. We walked the rest of the way there in silence after what happened with the car and him touching me. I was still a little shaky from it all, but I covered it up. We walk up to his front door and he unlocks it. As we step in he says "My mum and dad are both out and so are my siblings, so feel free to make as much noise as you want". I just give a quick smile.
"So, where are your instruments?" I ask.
"In my room" He blushes, knowing that we are going to be in his room, alone.
"Well, shall we start practicing?" I ask. He nods and we go upstairs to his room. When we get in, the room is covered in Lord Of The Rings posters, Harry Potter merchandise, Doctor Who stuff and there is a huge cardboard cut out of Gandalf. It feels weird being in a room so different to mine. I see a ukulele, guitar, piano and a microphone all in one corner of the room. "So, shall we choose the song?" He asks shyly. Honestly, you could feel the awkwardness in the room.
We search YouTube for at least forty minutes. "This is hopeless!" Jon wines, "we are never going to find a good mashup EVER!". But just as he finishes his sentence, I click on one more just to annoy him. It is a piano mash up of "E.T" by Katy Perry and "If I Had You" by Adam Lambert. I then go to close it and give up on the mash up idea when Jon yells "wait!". He snatches the mouse out of my hand and cups his ear, telling me to listen. It isn't actually that bad! "Thats the one" Jon smiles at me. We then immediately start working on our performance. Jon decided that he should sing the Katy Perry parts because he knows all of the song. I agree considering I know all the Adam Lambert parts. "Okay, lets start practicing the piano part" Jon says sitting down at his keyboard. I quickly shake my head.
"YOU start learning it" I say.
"Why just me?" he asks annoyed, "Is this one of those projects when you get the nerd to do all the work why the pretty girl goes out with her friends?" He asked raising his voice.
"Actually its because I can't play the piano!" I yell at him, trying not to blush with embarrassment. He then goes quiet.
"...I'm sorry" he apologises. I just huff and look out of his window. I can see him approach me out of the corner of my eye, and I get that same weird feeling again. The butterflies in my stomach, I hate it. I take a step back and he gets the message not to come closer. "I could teach you a bit if you want" He suggests with a weak smile. I just stare at him with an angry facial expression. "Come on" he sighs, "stop being so..." he takes a pause to find the correct word. "Stuck up and boring", those are not the correct words. I clench my fists and go to punch him. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. I was honestly trying to make you feel better". I look at him in confusion,
"How is calling me 'Stuck up and boring' going to make me feel better!?" I ask.
"I don't know!" He says.
"I don't understand your logic" I say trying to smile.
"Come on. Let me teach you" he begs. I finally give in and let him teach me.
He teaches me all about cords and all of the notes and how to identify sharps and flats. By the end of the night I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. " I did it!" I squeal and smile wildly.
"I know!" Jon yells back with a smile too. We look at eachother for a bit just smiling. I then realise that it is almost nine! I tell Jon I have to go. "Are we doing this again tomorrow?" He asks. I think about it for a moment.
"Yeah, at mine this time. I will meet you at the front of the school after the last bell" He smiles and walks me out of his house. We wave good bye and I begin to walk away. As I hear Jon's house door slam shut, something hits me. "When we were arguing, did he call me pretty?" I ask myself.
