Free Be With You by Scarlett Madison Page B

She
slumped onto her seat and sat thinking about that mysterious boy…that boy who
had made her feel that way ..

there's nobody watching,
    Love like you'll never be hurt,
    Sing like there's nobody listening,
    And live like it's heaven on earth.”

      The rain
made a pitter-patter sound as it hit onto the rooftop. Heavy torrents of rain
had slashed the window panes, and the wind was howling.
      Adelie was drenched from head to toe. She had reported to
school early in the morning, was dismissed early and had been walking back
home, when there was a sudden heavy rain.
      The
thunder boomed in the distance. She struggled to keep her pace. She was
terrified of the thunder. It was then when she caught sight of Jefferson
College. Hadn’t that been the school of which Danny came from?
      Seeing a
shelter, she dashed into the school. She hoped that she could stay there until
the rain was over.
      Was Danny
in school? It had always been him finding her at her house all along. She
decided to pay him a visit as well, to feed her curiosity about the mysterious
boy.
      The rain
had drowned the raucous laughter in the classrooms filled with rowdy boys. So many boys. But no Danny in sight. She had walked around the classrooms for two times and yet still no Danny. Had he been sick and was absent from school?
      She felt a
tinge of disappointment. She walked around the school and found herself along
the corridor of which all the special rooms were.
      In the
piano room, she saw a forlorn figure sitting by the piano, with a look of
melancholy. She took a closer look and found that he had resembled Danny.
      She pushed
the door gently.
      “ It’s you Danny!”
      He looked
shocked to see her. She would never forget the look on his face. He had turned
almost pale white.
    “ Hi Adelie . Why are you here?”
    He asked. His face clearly showing of concern.
    “Why are you not in class, Danny?”
    “I was excused from class, Adelie ”
    He said. She
wondered why he had been excused.
    Adelie walked
towards the piano. She didn’t know where she had learnt that tune but it had
always stayed in her mind. She played it on the piano, though she could hardly
read a musical note at all. It was a simple melody which she knew by heart.
    Danny
placed his fingers onto the piano keys and then he started to play as well. His
music sounded vaguely familiar, until she realized that it sounded like an
accompaniment to her piano piece. They placed in unison- with their 4 hands,
and came to the same dramatic ending of the piece together.
    Adelie stared
at Danny in astonishment.
    “You know the accompaniment to that! I had never known
that there was an accompaniment to it!”
      She got so
excited that she gave Danny a hug, before blushing, and pulling away.
      It always
felt so easy to be around him.
      Adelie felt a sense of awkwardness. She got up and
pretended to look at the theory books around her.
      What had
made her do that?

    The Marathon

 
 
 
      February 16 th 2010- Adelie had been selected to take part in an intra-school
marathon. She would be competing against all the students from schools around
her vicinity. It was a day which she had been looking forward to and had been
training so hard for.
      She was feeling so nervous about the
race. The prizes were all sponsored by Nike: the First Prize would be a
badminton racket, the second prize would be a haversack, and the third prize
would be a pair of shoes. Adelie knew that if she
were to clinch for the third position, she would get the shoes, and she
wouldn’t need to trouble Danny anymore.
      She awoke that Monday morning feeling the
excitement within her. She knew that Danny
