He's Just a Friend

Chapter 7 (Tomas' P.O.V)

"Hi" she said as I walked towards her

"Yo" I managed to say, chilled, when in reality, my heart was pounding out of my chest.

"So er, what's the first lesson for today then?" For some reason She never got handed a timetable for all her classes, so I get to show her around,

"Oh yeah! You're new, I forgot..." Trying to 'not remember' Taylor was getting difficult, I want her to remember me so bad! I tried to drop a few hints, "I just feel like we've met before, like deja vu, ya know?" (Please remember, please remember, please remember.)

"Oh really? That's strange haha, I feel exactly the same way!" She smiled back, and leaned to whisper in my ear "But seriously, have we met before?"

Her breath felt tingly on my earlobe, I felt a shiver go down my back, never knew I had tingly ears. I was left paralyzed, all I could manage to do was to smile back cheekily and shrug my shoulders as if to say 'I don't know, you tell me'. She giggled and then the sun seemed to shine brighter.

The bell rang, waking me up from my daydream, I looked around and saw the usual tidal wave of students wash into the school building, I grabbed Tay's hand and walked into the school along with some other people. Holding Taylor's hand was actually quite a good strategy, I could walk with her through the crowds and we won't get separated from each other and Taylor won't get lost amongst the students, and, well, I just get to hold Taylor's hand!

I suddenly remembered Taylor's question about which lesson was first, so I quickly said "Music is first, we have a double lesson on it, which takes about an hour and a half. So I hope you like playing instruments!"

Taylor laughed and I could have sworn that she whispered a big "YES" to herself as we walked to the music room. She must be one of those music oriented people, I know I am. My alarm in the morning is LMFAO instead of the usual beeping tone.

We entered the music room, which is just a soundproof room with guitars, drums, a piano, cellos, violins, trumpets, clarinets, just about any musical instrument you can name under the sun. Everybody plays their own instrument, each instrument has their own player. I play the guitar and trumpet, and I switch halfway through the double lesson which gives me a while lesson on each instrument. I can also sing a little...

Taylor stood speechless at the door and gawped at all the instruments in their shelves and cases. Then she screamed like a child at Christmas time when the tree is full of presents, and ran to every one of the shelves, inspecting all the musical items.
"Oh my god, this is amazing," she said between peeks in the cupboards, which were stacked high with composition sheets and movements written by past students that have long graduated from Beachside.

I laughed at her childishness "So what instrument do you want to play?"

Taylor rubbed her hands together to think, she strolled past the woods da and brass, then ran her fingers along the violins and cellos. Eventually she stopped thinking and made her decision.

"I want to play this!" She smiled and pointed at a guitar,

"What? You want that? Why?" I was surprised, that guitar belonged to me. I had been playing it since I was 12, so there was no way I was handing my prized possession to Taylor, even if she was the cutest person on earth (apart from me, DURH).

"Because" she answered, "the guitar, it reminds me of a best friend I used to have back in year 5, I can't seem to remember his name...but he used to love to strum tunes on his old guitar, and I used to sing along...and then...we..." Tears formed in her eyes, I grabbed my sleeve and gently wiped them as they rolled down her soft cheeks. Then I gently tilted her chin up using my fingers and....
