Turned out a bit different than I planned, hope you like it.
The coincidence
It was a beautiful day when I walked to school. I felt like I was the only one who had to walk, everyone else had a car. My parents thought it was unnecessary, I could spend my money better.
I was so deep in my thoughts, I nearly walked by my school. It was Thursday, Biology first. I went to the room, sat down and sank back into my thoughts. I didn’t see or hear my teacher coming in.
“Carry?”.
“I think she’s sleeping or something”, someone said laughing.
“Hey”, my teacher said angry.
Then someone touched my shoulder. I looked around and saw everyone looking at me.
“Well, you just earned yourself an extra lesson after school. Make sure you pay attention now or it will become more than just one”.
“Great”, I thought.
This was like the longest day ever, it just didn’t want to pass by. After school, when everyone went home, I walked back to my Biology room.
“You’re late”, my teacher said.
“I’m sorry”, I replied.
“Anyway, here is something to do, I’ll be right back”.
Then she left the room. I went to my regular spot in the class and sat down. I looked at my tasks. Some questions. I took out my book and was done very soon. My teacher was still gone so I took out my iPod and listened to my favorite song. After a while the battery was empty and it switched off.
“This just isn’t my day”, I thought.
I stood up and walked around the room. It was really boring. Suddenly I heard music coming from somewhere.I opened the door and looked around. I was pretty sure that the music was coming from the room at the end of the hall. Slowly I went there, the music got louder.
“Stop!”, someone yelled inside the room.
“What now?”.
“I told you to do it like last week, what is that?”.
“I’m sorry, I forgot.”.
“You have to practise more or I’ll kick you out of the club, I told you. You can go now, I’ve had enough today. You better practise.”.
Someone was coming to the door so I stepped back quiet. I wanted to go back inside my Biology room but it was closed.
“Damn”, I thought.
“Can I help you?”, someone said.
I turned around and a boy stood next to me.
“I was just walking around and now the room is closed.”.
“I see. There’s a teacher in the room down the hall, he should have a key to that room.”.
“Thanks.”.
“No problem… Oh, I’m Jay.”.
“Carry. Thanks again, I better go before my teacher comes back.”.
“Cya”, Jay said and left.
I asked the teacher to open up, went inside and waited for my Biology teacher to come back.
“Sorry, that it took so long”, my teacher said when she came back.
“Are you done?”.
“Yes, here.”.
“Good, you can go now. And make sure you sleep enough next time.”.
“Okay, bye.”, I said and left.
The week after this I stayed again after school. I didn’t know anything about him but I was hoping to see Jay again. I was walking around, waiting.
“Hey”, someone suddenly yelled.
I turned around. It was Jay. I waved when he came to me.
“What’s up?”, I asked.
“I’m kinda upset but nothing worth talking about”, he answered.
“Oh, what happened?”.
“I don’t know if I should… you know what, I’ll tell you. I got kicked out of the DJing club. My parents will be really angry when I get home.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, I had some idea of making my own DJ club anyway. Where do you live, if you need a ride, I can take you home.”.
I found out that he lives really close to me and that’s how I ended up in his car. We talked about interests and such when he drove me home. Jay told me he loves DJing as a hobby and now that he got kicked out of the club he wants to start something on his own, he just needed a keyboard player for his idea.
“I can play keyboard”, I said.
“Really? Since when?”.
“10 years, my parents thought it might be helpful someday.”.
“That’s great, would you help me tomorrow? I just need a little inspiration. I planned on mixing in keyboard stuff in some simple song I made.”.
“Sound great, why not.”.
“It was nice to talk to you”, Jay said when we arrived at my house. “…Hey, maybe I could take you to school tomorrow”.
“You would do that? Would be awesome.”.
“Sure, see you at 7.20? I’ll wait here. And after school we can work on my idea.”.
“Thanks, I’ll be there”.
The next day we went to Jay’s place after school. He showed me what he already prepaired and it sounded really good.
“I’ll play some melody, it would be great if you could try to play it on keyboard”, Jay said.
“Sure, I’ll see what I can do.”.
Just about an hour later it sounded even better.
“I know this sounds crazy but… would you make something for the upcoming talent show with me?”, Jay asked.
“Like playing keyboard?”, I asked.
“Only if you want to of course. It’s just that… I’ve been working on an act for the talent show so long but then my DJing teacher kicked me out of the club. It would be so great if you would help me. It’s going to be fun. I think you’re a great person, we can become good friends.”.
“I’d love to”, I said smiling.
The talent show was getting closer and closer until we already had our time on stage.
“I’m so excited. The whole school is here”, I said.
“Me too but hey, just have fun, that’s the most important thing.”, Jay said.
After we were through with out performance the whole crowd was clapping. I felt that this was the beginning of something big.
