Hearing a Mystery
Chapter 7: Hearing a Mystery
Jack walked into the room and kept his hand on the nearby wall. He got a sense of the silence and found it welcoming for a change. He took a walk around the room and sized it up in his head. It was large room, with the exception of a few chairs and one or two tables the room was pretty empty, and spacious. After his first lap of the room Jack was ready to let go of the wall and ventured out to the center of the music room.
However, before he did so, he removed his shoes and allowed his bare feet to touch the cold marble floor. The contact of floor to skin gave him a full perspective of the room. "Can't believe a room this big isn't full with stuff," he said to himself walking around freely. His feet noticed a level change in the floor, where a very slight slope came into ground. Jack could 'see', this incline was caused by something big and heavy. Any object that left its imprint in the floor usually had been there for a long period of time; the chances of it being moved were unlikely and if so not for very long. Reaching out his hand his eyes were open now, prior to being closed most of the time inside the room. The white haired teen’s fingers touched the hard smooth surface and a smile instantly appeared on his face. "Tell me how do you and your brothers keep finding me, when you’re just as blind as I am?" Jack chuckled at the high pitch sound the piano made when he pressed a key.
He easily found the bench and took a seat. Gliding his fingers swiftly across each key, he heard a beautiful voice from the piano. The voice was wise with many years and stories that came with it. Jack felt honored to have a chance to hear the instrument’s tales and add one of his own. His fingers began to dance on the keys, as a simple song he made up came into play on the instrument. As the music found its way around the room it wandered into the halls catching the ears of a certain music loving blonde.
Rapunzel fallowed the breath taking melody to music room "400B". She'd left lunch a bit early to give her two friends, Merida and Hiccup some alone time. She loved that two were finally dating, after two drama filled years if crushing on each other. Rapunzel rambling thoughts of other people's romance stopped, as the tune caught her attention again. The song was soft like a lullaby, but light like a melody. It would sound slow and soft, but pick up pace and give the images of people dancing gracefully enjoying the fun. The song easily and quickly put a smile on the girls face. But just as quickly as the music started it stopped, and caught the girl off guard. Rapunzel softly cracked the door open to see the back of white hair. The player wore black pants of the schools uniform, and a blue hoodie covering a white collar shirt (that was also a part of the school uniform).
"Will Rapunzel Corona, please come to the front office? I repeat, will Rapunzel Corona please come to the front office." The intercom sounded making the girl jump and a high pitched, "eep", escaped her lips. She held her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. She looked at the intercom with disdain and back at the cracked door. Jack had stopped playing and sat up, he didn't face her, but spoke with a smirk “You better get going Miss. Corona." The blonde's face brighten up and her eyes widened slightly before she rushed off to the main office, totally embarrassed. Jack chuckled at the girl’s innocent reaction once again.
