The One

Chapter 11 - Jeoen

"'Students I got an announcement to make. Parents meeting would be held from an 3 weeks from now on. Hope everyone's would attend and I'm really looking forward in meeting them', those words kept on echoing in my head after the teacher's announcement. My mom really gotta come this time. ugh! Just please as least this one last time........if she doesn't then I'm done for. why is it compulsory for every parent to attend only in our school?! What if there was something like an emergency and the parent couldn't attend? mm...yeah..... you can excuse yourself but that only works only for once. If repeated oh god......... you'll can enjoy a nice time with the principal screaming at you. yeah it's the parents fault or maybe not even that but still there's no escaping from that. I really hope if she can make it.............."

As the bell for the interval rang Lizana quickly rushed over to the old classroom again finding that this time too it was empty. "oh? why does he keep on getting late today. ugh! Where are you?!", she complained. "It's not me being late but you being too early and I'm right here", a voice replied to her as she almost screamed as she was terrified when he covered her mouth and dragged her into the room and shut the door. "sorry.......... I didn't mean to frighten you......", his warm voice echoed through the room. Though still how shocked was she, she was able able to shutter out some words. "em......... you?........uh.........em........ you had already noticed me?", she asked. "oh yeah. sorry if it's a bit rude........ but you really sucked at hiding.......", he tried his best to be polite. "oh for how long then?", she asked out of curiosity. "well I can't remember exactly but I do know that I had noticed you since long ago", he explained. "oh really............. well I'm really sorry if I had bothered you but I guess my friends would be searching for me now........so I'll just leave-", before she could finish her sentence as she started heading towards the door, he gripped her wrist tight before pulling her onto the piano seat and sitting next to her. Frightened was she still but that was ceased as his fingers started running along the keys of the piano. "leaving so soon? I don't think so. You came here to listen to this after all right? then at least listen to it once and leave", he said to her while playing. Captivated to melody was she as she glimpsed at him a few times till the melody just paused in the middle. "why did you stop?", she asked. "sorry I'm still learning.........Mian said that he'll teach me the rest next week", he explained. "oh OK then", now finally she was calm and things became more easier for him to talk to her. "well uh...... I'm Jeoen and you are?......", "Oh lizana", both introduced themselves. "sooo you love piano too?", he asked. "yeah of course! I love it but........", her voice gradually filled with disappointment. "but......?", he asked her. "is there anything wrong?", he asked concerned. There was a moment of silence between them when she finally decided to speak up. "I never learnt how play it....", she answered. "ah.......oh well then would you like to learn how to then? I'll teach you if you want", "huh!? really?! ohhh thank you so much!", she exclaimed at his response as he soon bursted into laughter. "hey.....what's so funny?", she asked a bit annoyed. "nope nothing. It's just you were a bit too adorable to handle", tomato red became Lizana's cheeks after hearing that sentence as she blurted out, "oh silly! me adorable? something which could never hap-", the sound of the bell was what interrupted her this time as it was time for both of them to leave. "well will you be here after school today so that we could start your lessons?", he asked. "oh yes of course", she answered. "OK then see you later", both waved to each other as they headed back to class.
