Unmasked Love

Chapter 7

"Ahhh!"

I was frightened by that unexpected thunder and leaped into Noah's arms.

Whoops.

"Are you alright?" Noah asked.

"100 percent, sorry about that, I haven't experienced a storm in a long time. There were hardly any thunderstorms where I came from." I said as I jumped out of Noah's arms.

"I got a text message from Madison saying she wants to come over and help tutor you, but she probably won't understand the questions."

"Nevermind, Let's get you tutored." He said as we started walking to his bedroom.

Once we got to his room, it started pouring outside and the weather shot to -7 degrees while I'm over here wearing a thin flannel..

"Physics." He said while he was taking out his physics book.

I'm not going to lie, physics is pretty tricky.

"When does the sky become space?"

"Outer space does not begin at a definite altitude above the Earth's surface. However, the Kármán line, an altitude of 62 miles above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping."

(Copied and pasted from Wikipedia

Eh?)

"Hey, you're good, I can't even answer that." Noah complimented.

We continued discussing questions and answers. Hey, my lessons from grandpa really paid off.

Then, Noah received a voice message which said:

"Heyyyyy Noah, I'm assuming you're tutoring Evee but here's my solo on the violin, 'The Last Rose Of Summer' while playing it perfectly, so Evee, get on my leve- Aaaaaaaaaaannnnyways, if Evee needs an extra tutor, since 1 tutor is obviously not enough just invite me over and I'll help her solve the easiest question. BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, call me when you can! Mwah."

"She obviously doesn't know you..." He whispered.

I smiled.

"Wanna watch the video?" He asked.

"No thank y- actually, I would love to."

"Alright" He said as he clicked on the video.

We both watched the video and reviewed it.

"Professional eh? It's very, uhm."

"Very?" He questioned.

"Fake. Looking at the notes that she played, they weren't the right notes, but it sounds perfect. This is complete bs."

"So, you're saying that she's faking it and she dubbed it?"

"Yeah, who plays an E instead of a B flat?."

"Oh, I see that, I wonder what it sounded like without the recording.." He laughed.

"Oh Lord, no one wants to know."

Then, Noah's phone started vibrating. A video call from Madison.

"Hey boooo, what did you and Evee think of my violin playing?"

"You and your violin with 4 fine tuners and finger tapes do not match well with each other." I said.

Noah laughed as Madison was confused.

"Fine tuners? Finger tapes? Stop making words up, hunny." Madison said

"Oh, hunny, I'm so sorry, you're a professional, right?" I said, very much sarcastically.

"Uhm, obviously."

"Well, I've never seen or heard a professional have four fine tuners, all finger tapes, and who doesn't know what on Earth those things are."

Noah and I nearly fell over laughing at Madison's confuzzled face.

"Ugh, whatever, I'll play another piece—Der Erl-what the heck?König—. It is possibly the hardest song ever."

"Ohhkay, show us what you got.." Noah said.

She played the first minute or so of the piece, then asked us for our verdict.

"Well, first of all, it's pronounced 'Der erl-kun-ich', not 'dir Erlk-oonig, and it's a piece, not a song."

"And.....?" She demanded.

"You and your violin with 4 fine tuners and finger tapes do not match well with each other."

"Gurl, do you even know what you're talking about?"

I just rolled my eyes.

"And about that violin, it looks like you just went to the nearest violin store, demanded to rent the cheapest one, so you could try to prove that you could play, but failed miserably. I doubt that you've ever touched one before today."

"I challenge you to a duel!" She insisted.

"Ok... When?"

"In front of the whole entire school, well, just the 12th-grade classes to show how good I am." She bragged.

"I'll just ask my dad to talk to the principal about it. Of course, they'll agree."

"Aaaaanyways, see you on Monday." She smiled.

Boop.

"...D-did she just say in front of the 12 grades classes?!"

"I am not doing that."

"It's fine, maybe it wasn't serious. And she can't force you to play." Noah said while thunder clapped.

"I should get going, I don't really need tutoring right now."

"Not in that weather. You can't expect me to allow you to go outside right now."

"But my roommate is alone there."

"Woah, wait, roommate? Name? Gender? Personality? Age?

"Relax big brother, just an old pal back in my hometown, he's really sweet and he's about the same age as me. His name is Greyson James." I explained.

In Noah's Mind

"Big brother..."

Back To The Reality

"Hey, that name sounds familiar, he's like really popular and his dad is friends with one of the richest men in that town." Noah explained.

"Man? Name?"

"Kayryie Harewood? Kray Harewood? I don't remember. But apparently his grand-daughter ran away, that old man, I pity him."

I honestly really miss my grandfather, I wonder how he's doing, should I call him?

I stared into space. Then, Noah said:

"I could drive you home, which is what I'm doing whether you like it or not."

"Alright."

1 Week Later

I arrived at my high school and I immediately ran to Madison.

"I am NOT performing in front of a lot of students ok?!" I yelled.

"Why? Because you know that I'm a lot better than you?"

"Funny, go against someone you can actually win to." I said as I started turning back.

Madison's P.O.V

She's a witch. With her ugly shade of green eyes and hideous brown hair and clothing style. I could honestly barf while looking at her.

But why does she get all the attention?
