KEN SANDERS

----------------------------------

I met this cute girl but she was the one who found me. Actually, no one ever goes to the sixth floor of the school building because they say it's haunted. Well, I'm not scared of ghosts and once I knew that there is a music room there, I immediately asked for permission to use it. They allowed me and they said I could use it as much as I wanted to because it's abandoned. Ever since I was there, I always composed and composed. Until recently, I just finished a piece when she showed up. The story she told me was true. I was the girl and the boy was my past lover. She left me and never came back. I waited and waited but I never saw her face again. Ever since then, I've waited for someone to show up. Honestly, while I was playing the piece, I was hoping that someone would already show up in my life -  someone who I could call mine. Then unexpectedly, she showed up. I was shocked that someone actually came to the sixth floor and someone actually showed up when I hoped to. I don't know if she's really the one but I wanted to know her more that's why I'll start by being friends with her.

"So, what type of music do you play? Bach? Beethoven?", she asked.

"I'm diverse. I like every piece there is.", I replied. Sophia and I were at a crépe shop with Dylan. It was supposed to be only the two of them but Sophia insisted on letting me come. I couldn't turn down an invitation especially from a cute girl like her.

"I heard that you're a pianist like me.", I told Florence.

"I am.", he replied.

"Have you competed?", I asked. I curious to know since if he was, then he would be my rival.

"Well, yeah. I've competed in a lit actually.", he replied.

"He competed in Inter-schools, National Championships, and also perform for our school. He's the musician amd representative of the school.", Sophia added.

"What about you?", Florence asked.

"I mostly compete for International Music Competitions, I do solo pieces back in Paris and Germany. Then I also do Nationals but mostly International.", I replied. I saw Sophia's smiling face like she was amazed.

FLORENCE JOHNSON

--------------------------------

Tch! Show off.

"Wow! That's super amazing!", Sophia exclaimed.

"It's not that amazing. I just happen to have fun in competitions. If I go for Internationals, why not grab the chance?", Ken replied. Sophia and Ken talked a lot while I was just silently eating my crépe and nodding whenever Sophia or Ken looks at me. I don't mean to be rude but I don't like him. Two has passed by and it was already five.

"I have to go. I still have practice today.", Ken said. Thank God he's leaving.

"Oh. We were just going to leave too. It's already getting late.", Sophia said. What the?? And here I thought that I could spend more time with her.The three of us exited the crépe store.

"I had a wonderful time eith you guys today. Let's chat next time.", Ken said.

"Sure! Just tell us when you're free.", Sophia said. Ken nodded and walked away.

"Let's go?", she said. I sighed and nodded. Geez. I asked her to grab so crépes with me after school so that I could spend more time with her. Oh well, I can't do anything about it anymore.

"Oh you're home early.", Mrs. Wright said as she was playing blocks with Michael.

"Can I ask why you are here?", I asked. She stood up and fixed herself.

"Michael was lonely. I arrived home really early since I finished my job quickly. I saw him play at the backyard and I just went to play with him.", she said and I stared at her.

"Plese don't look at me like I'm some killer.", Mrs. Wright stated. I sighed and threw my bag on the couch.

"Sophia's home. I walked with her on the way here.", I said while taking a can of soda out from the fridge. I lazily sat down on the couch, opened the can and drank. She sat beside me and looked at me like she was observing me.

"Hmm... Did something happen at school today?", she asked.

"Nothing happened.", I replied.

"So something really did happen.", sgmhe replied. I closed my eyes and rested my head on the couch. I told her everything that happened.

"I see. Then? How did you feel?", she asked.

"I was pissed off. When I first looked at him and knew that he was the friend Sophia was talking about, I felt mad and uneasy.", I replied. Mrs. Wright patted my head and smiled. Okay ... Is she crazy? Just smiling out of nowhere.. Gee, I don't know.

"Do you know what that means?", she asked.

"No, I don't.", I replied.

"It means you're jealous.", she said.

"Wait, I'm not jealous at him.", I replied.

"I wasn't referring to him but I was referring to Sophia being happy or happily talking with another friend.", she said. I went silent as I also silently processed in my mind on what Mrs. Wright said through the scenes of today. Then suddenly, my eyes widened as my heart began to pace. I began to blush and I covered my mouth. Seriously?! I'm being jealous? I'm not the kind of guy to get jealous.

"Well I'm happy she has made a new friend and I will support them all through out.", I told her. I saw her smirk.

"What's with the smirk?!", I asked.

"Say what you mean and mean what you say.", she said as she took her bag and exited the house. Really, what did she mean by that? I didn't understand it.

---------------

Monday came and I went to Sophia's house. I rang the door bell and opened the door.

"Who rings the door bell and opens the door after without waiting for the person to open it?", Sophia asked while fixing her hair in the mirror.

"Since when did you try to fix your hair?", I asked.

"Since when did you ring a door bell?", she asked back.

"Seriously, I can't get this conversation anywhere with you.", I said.

"Neither can I.", she replied.

"Say what. Sophia, please work on your grammar. You're an American for pete's sake.", I told her. She kept her comb in her bag and faced me.

"Alright, sir.", she said as she smiled and rolled her eyes. I opened the door and we both arrived outside.

"You're bicycle looks different.", Sophia said.

"I cleaned and polished it a bit. Come on, we'll be late.", I said as both of us rode our way to school. We arrived ten minutes later and I parked my bicycle. A sports car parked beside my bicycle and to my dismay, Ken hopped out of the sports car. I looked at Sophia who was amazed.

"Good morning!", Ken greeted us.

"Good morning!", Sophia greeted back. Before I could say anything, Sophia had cut me off.

"Nice ride.", Sophia said.

"Thanks. Do you want to ride it?", he asked. This caught my attention and stiffened. I didn't know what to say or if I said something, I think my words wouldn't be nice so I just stayed silent.

"Can I?", Sophia asked. Geez! Stop acting like some crappy jock.

"Of course you can! How about after school?", Ken asked. Without any hesitation, Sophia said yes and I felt sad. We were supposed to go home together like always. I couldn't believe it.

"Let's go or we'll all be late for class.", I said as I walked away first. Sophia and Ken followed from behind. When we arrived iside the school, after getting our things from our lockers, Sophia and Ken bid goodbye.

"I'll see you after school.", Ken said and Sophia nodded in reply. I just stood there looking at them in silence. They were right in front of me and I can't help but feel so sad for some unknown reason.

"Let's go?", Sophia said and I obnly nodded in reply. We both walked to our room without even saying a word to each other. Sophia just met him last Saturday and now, in just two days, it's like she changed. I'm not liking this one bit.

----------------

Eight hours has passed by and it was now four thirty. Sophia and I met Ken at the parking lot.

"Shall we go?", Ken asked.

"Yes. Let's go Florence.", Sophia said. I'm not in the mood to be with Sophia right now. I think I'll go home alone today.

"I have to buy something for Michael at the mall. So, Ken keep Sophia safe.", I said and I walked away. I didn't give any opportunity for her to speak. All I know now is that, I am depressed as hell.
