Playing the piano



I was getting ready and Tania was getting dressed. I briefly looked out the window and found Raven sitting on a motorcycle playing a cell phone.


"Why is he here?"


"Who?" tanya Tania was curious.


"Raven" I replied, Tania immediately got up walking towards me and looked out the window.


"What's he doing here? is it possible to drive you?" tanya Tania looked at me.


"No, maybe he has other business" I said. But it seems like it is, Raven didn't tell me anything.


"Ah so, should we say hello to her" said Tania excited, she looks happy.


"I don't think I should go to college, so I'll take the road through the back of campus" I said.


"Oh so? You guys gonna meet again?" ask Tania.


"Yes, that's how it is" I replied. Actually no, it's just that I feel like I'm going to be a bully.

We came out of the gate, where Raven was seen waving, seemingly greeting. I was about to return her greeting before Tania got ahead of me, Tania walked towards Raven replying to her hand, and Raven kept greeting her.


Whatisthis? why do I feel disappointed? though Raven was nice to Tania, my friend. But i'm..


"Woah, it's the first time I've seen such a friendly Raven"


"She was indeed unfriendly, but her treatment now it could be called friendly!"


"By the way they look like a matching couple don't they?"


"No, Raven's mine"


"But you once said you hated rude people"


"It's okay, Raven's the exception"


A matching couple, huh? I noticed Raven and Tania, and they look good. Tania also likes Raven, and Raven treats Raven quite kindly, does Raven like Tania?


Why should I think about that now? That's it I have to go.


Before I left, I looked at Raven once more, and our gazes met. I waved a little at him after he left.

I was walking on the sidewalk when I came across one of Raven's friends, Hanz.


"Oh? Lily, good morning" said Hanz who somehow looked surprised to see me.


"Good morning" I said.


"Ummm that... Did you meet Raven?" ask Hanz.


"Yes, he went to the girls' dormitory, it seems he has some business there" I replied.


"Eh? o-oh so...."


The two of us walked together towards the campus in a slightly awkward atmosphere. The problem is the second time I spoke to Hanz, yesterday-yesterday I talked to him, but not so awkward because there was a Lion. And now it's just the two of us.


Arriving at the college I say goodbye to Hanz. So did he.


"Alright, me too" said Hanz and left.


I walked into the theater department building and passed by Lia, after which Ray.


"Hmm Hi" I said. Then I saw Lia who had a curious look on her face. Lia must be confused as to why Ray greeted me.


"Ray, this is my friend Lia he's a theater major, and Lia, this is Ray he's my friend, we know from High School" I explained.


"Oh, greetings" said Ray.


"Gee, greetings too" replied Lia.


Before we went to each other's classes, we had a little chat, yahhh light things. Until my eyes were directed across the corridor, Raven was walking toward the music department and Tania was behind her.


Then Tania broke away and left with her friends. Did Raven and Tania leave together? That nice.


'Drrrt'


I turned on the phone, I received a message from Raven that read.


"I'll rewrite the song, come to my rehearsal room in the afternoon."


He rewrote? Good, I'll come.


"Lily, why are you quiet?" asked Ray curiously.


"It's nothing, then I go first to my class" I said and left them.

It was noon and my class was over, I walked towards the music department building, was Raven already there? Yeah, of course you are. I'm sure he's truant again.


Though we're in class, but I very rarely see Raven in class from last year until now.


I passed the literature department building and passed by Hanz.


"Oh, hi Lily" said Hanz.


"Oh hi" I said.


"You're going to go see Raven, right, me too" Hanz said.


Arriving at Raven's private practice room, I was about to knock on the door.


"Just go in" Hanz said, then opened the door.


We go inside. There Raven sat at the table rubbing her eyes. Maybe he woke up to the sound of the door.


"uh? Oh Lily" Raven exclaimed to me, ignoring Hanz who was about to greet her.


"Let's listen to half the song I wrote" Raven said, then sat down at the piano. I sat down next to Hanz to listen to Hanz's piano.


Raven started her game in a soft tone. I don't know why the voice I heard was drowning.


There he shines, like the only candle he has in complete darkness. Am I blind? I don't know. I'm just sure everything feels different. Is it because of the music? finger movements? or is his expression so lamentable?


I was lost in thought until the sound of applause made me realize.


"Good work Raven" Hanz exclaimed as he clapped.


"Is that good enough?" asked Raven looking at me.


"Yes that's pretty good" I replied with a slight chuckle. Honestly, I didn't really hear the piano play, I was too fascinated. Enchanted?


"Lily, can you play the piano" Hanz asked suddenly.


"Oh yeah, I can play the piano, so why?" my many.


"What if you play the song Raven played? I mean here we can call you partners, you know the partners I mean, right? by playing the same song maybe the other half of the song suddenly sounded again in Raven's head, oh don't you know that yet? like an inspiration, when Raven gets inspired she hears a song spinning in her mind, yeah like that. So I mean-"


"Yes yes, well hahaha, that's enough, I'll play it" I replied cutting through Hanz's long explanation. I was a little surprised, among them Hanz was the calmest, apparently not.
