I don't know what to answer or what to do in this situation, in fact he is right and I need to take the notes that were taken before me and also I need friends but this is not the subject.
So if it's so kindly offered I can only accept. I turn to him and nod my head.
"Good see you tonight then"
I look at him doubtfully, he tells me that as if he is going to go away and come back. It's not possible, he gets up and hangs his satchel on his shoulder then leaves before the teacher even comes. Why did he even come here? Could it be that it was just to see me and offer me his help that he came? No I have to make up my mind, I have to come to my senses and not let myself hover over such idiotic assumptions.
No sooner had he left than the professor returned. The school day passes quickly and since the morning Michaël has not returned to class.
I dare to imagine that he is somewhere in high school and is just skipping class...
The end of class rings quickly and I walk through the halls of the school in search of the library.
I meet Théo Fran and I write to him on a piece of paper that I want to go to the library. So he leads me to the library and I enter quietly. As I have already seen, the students here are very studious. There are many students in the library all studying seriously.
I go looking for Michaël and finally I find him at the back of the library sleeping as usual. I go over to him and sit down.
Certainly, the noises I make wake him up and he looks at me, his face clearing up.
"Well, we'll start with chemistry, are you ready?" »
I nod my head and for two hours in a row Michaël and I work hard to allow me to assimilate these lessons. It is rather good for someone who spends their time sleeping. We finish working and he offers to take me home, which I politely decline for now. I don't want him to get mugged back home. I don't think my refusal has offended him since he still has that sweet smile at me and he just shrugs his shoulders in understanding. He also gets up to go home.
"So see you tomorrow"
He leaves and I stay to clean everything, the sun will soon go down and for fear of stirring up my sister's concern, I prefer to go home quickly.
I arrive at the house where my sister has not yet arrived and I thank heaven for this providence.
I go to make dinner, but I eat alone and I fall asleep quickly taken by fatigue. I worked too much tonight, and I really need to rest.
During the days that will follow Michaël and I try to catch up on my delay Michaël saying that I am on the right track. Since we have been working together, the laughter and smiles have increased and become recurrent, especially on Michaël's side. I don't know how to express our relationship, is it a friend or a comrade? I don't always know is it that I am finally happy and a story that started with some resentment has become a kind of friendship. I end up getting up when Michaël and I have made an appointment tonight but he is still not there.
The library is still crowded but if he doesn't hurry we'll lose our private corner and I won't be able to concentrate well.
I come forward and put my things on this table to make sure that those of the others who would be tempted to come and occupy this table cannot do so because of the things I have dispatched everywhere indicating that we are already working. I go down the stairs that lead to the table I have chosen.
I roll my eyes imagining what he can do and why he's so late. Maybe he had an emergency? And since I don't have a cell phone there can be no exchange between us.
Yes now I know it Michaël is a real star in fact, I remember that to understand the craze around him I did some research and I found many advertisements where he played as well as many magazines on which it is on the cover which I of course kept in archives for me.
No, I already know him well enough if he had had this kind of unforeseen event he would have come to warn me beforehand, and it can't also be that he was delayed by fans. From what I could see he hates it; more than an option.
I walk towards the door and go out towards the old building because once he took me there telling me that he likes the place.
I'm about to take the second floor of the old building when I hear a sound of melody.
A sound of melody? I never would have thought that students would come here despite the principal's ban to practice playing.
I move forward to find out who is behind all this and finally in a room on the third floor I find a huge piano in the middle of the room but the most surprising thing is Michaël.
He is like immersed in his own world cut off from everything. He plays with such passion that all his gestures are in my eyes an Aude of beauty and visual presence. I did not know that Michaël knew how to play the piano but worse that he knows how to play it so well that one could believe that he is a professional.
I sit down wanting to listen to all the rest of the composition recognizing the melody from last time in class and am more impressed each time.
I would never have thought that the guy who was so arrogant at first would have this vulnerable and beautiful side while playing the piano.
The sound stops and I get up to go congratulate him but Michaël makes a horrible face.
"How long have you been here? »
I raise my fingers to him and show five fingers.
"What five? »
I shake my head at each of his proposals and finally taking the notepad in my pocket I write to him that I've been there for barely five minutes and also I explain to him what I came to do at this place.
He looks like he's dug up and he didn't say anything until we got to the library, we worked a bit and finally I grabbed a pen and wrote before giving it to him.
"I promise you, your secret is safe with me"
