‘Yet to be titled’

Chapter One

I stormed outside and slammed the door hard shut behind me. I could still hear Craig’s voice chasing me through the wooden door, and though muffled, I could still make out the blunt profanity.
I slung my heavy bag around to my front as I was hurrying off down the street and scrambled around in the inside pouch for my little mp3. My hands enclosed around the cool metal and I whipped it out, eagerly plugging it into my ears and putting Clair De Lune on repeat. I sighed as the ethereal, fantastical music touched my ears like chocolate touches the tongue. I clicked the volume up to full – mind you, it didn’t go very loud, because it was a soft classical piece. The most beautiful piece I had ever heard.
After a few minutes of walking in the cool air, and listening to my lullaby, I felt calmer. I took one of the earphones out; Mike would be joining me any minute. Sure enough, as I rounded onto the next street, I saw his tall and thin familiar shape moving towards me.
‘Hey,’ I said when he caught up.
‘Hey. What’s on the music menu today?’ He asked, smiling with his hands casually in his pockets.
‘Debussy.’ I stated.
‘Again?’ He says, though if he’s surprised, it’s not evident in his voice.
‘Yup.’ I said, staring straight ahead.
‘You’re still upset then, eh?’ He asks, and I can feel his gaze.
‘Well it’s been a rough week and you know my Debussy calms me down.’ I said, looking at him and giving him a reassuring smile. I didn’t want him to worry.
‘You know if…’ He said, trailing off.
‘I know, thank you.’ I said quietly. Mike was all ears, always. I appreciated him for that…he was the only one I could really talk to, yet I still chose not to. I don’t really know why.
‘Anyway, how was your weekend?’ I asked, smiling again.
‘Eh, alright. Stayed at my dad’s…’
‘Oh yeah, how’d it go?’ I asked, though I could tell from his face.
He shrugged. ‘He broke up with his girlfriend, so he was a bit of a sad sap the whole weekend.’
‘Oh…that’s too bad.’ I said, reaching up and patting him on the arm.
‘Never mind. He’ll probably have another one by the time I next see him.’ He said bitterly, looking away.
I didn’t know what to say; I wasn’t much good at consoling people. Maybe he sensed my discomfort, because he changed the subject.
‘Guess it’s a crappy start to the week for both of us,’ He said, smiling again.
I grinned, ‘yep. Ah well, there’s always next week.’
We walked in silence for a few minutes. It brought back the memory of the first time we met – two years ago, but it felt like much more. I had started walking faster after I saw his lean and (back then) shorter figure approaching me. I wasn’t much good at socializing, especially with strangers, and most especially with boys.
To my dismay, he caught up with me and struck up a conversation – if you can call him talking to me and me nodding and smiling politely a conversation. A one-way conversation if you like.
Eventually, I felt comfortable around him, maybe a few weeks after we had started to walk together, and our conversations developed. Now we’re good friends. I smiled…imagine if he hadn’t been persistent with me those first few weeks?
‘Okay, well, this is my turn off,’ Mike said, bringing me back the present.
I sighed. ‘Well try and have a good day,’
‘You too, see you this arvo,’ He called out as he turned down another street.
‘See you.’ I said, putting my earphone back in and continuing down the road. I glanced at my watch and picked up my pace, it seemed that the cold wind did too. I was in a better mood already, thanks to Mike. Sure, our conversation wasn’t the most cheerful one, but just talking to someone that I could relate to was nice. Because I sure knew that wouldn’t be happening at school – or at home for that matter.
I saw Mike for about ten minutes in total everyday, five before school and five after school, yet I felt as though he was my closest friend. Perhaps because he was my only friend, to be really honest. Sometimes I wondered what it would be like if Mike went to the same school as me…I would never have to feel like a Nigel No-Friends…but perhaps it’s meant to be this way. Just the few minutes of my day meeting with the few minutes of his day – maybe that’s what made our friendship so special.
The wind picked up its speed and woke me from my thoughts, tossing my hair about and stinging my nose. The music came to my attention again. The piano in my ears became louder and more passionate – like at the climax of a good romance movie – I thought of myself playing it, how my fingers would glide across the shiny white keys…I imagined Debussy creating this beauty, closing his eyes and feeling his heart warm up, ‘this is the one’ he would

I liked it alot!
