There was a man in the room seated behind the piano as he played it beautifully. The music room had different instruments, I was well equipped with a large space that could contain a lot of people. I looked at the man playing, he had broad shoulders and dark hair. He was so into his music that he had not noticed that someone had walked in.
I waited for him to stop before clearing my throat to signify that someone was in the room.
He turned abruptly I feared that he must have broken his neck. But he seemed fine.
He eyed me from head to toe which made me slightly uncomfortable.
"Hello. Good morning sir. My name is Ruby Leblanc, I am an NS student. We don't have a music class, I wasn't able to show my work to anyone. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to a music teacher, sir" I said, cutting straight to the case to avoid any continuous uncomfortable stares.
He nodded. I wasn't sure if he was the music teacher, he looked rather young. Like someone in his mid-twenties; his coat was crisp, well defined. He looked responsible, but his stares were making me feel weird.
He stood up and walked towards me. He stood a few feet away from me when he asked. "I am the music teacher, Mr. Orlando. And where are these musical notes?"
I quickly opened my bag and handed it to him.
He furrowed his eyebrows as he went through them.
The air in the room was getting awkward and more uncomfortable.
He had an imposing aura that makes me reason how he could play such soulful music and look soulless.
His dark eyes kept skimming through the notes. After a few minutes, he smiled, which shocked me to the core. I thought he was going to keep frowning.
"Looks like we need to talk to the board, NS should have a variety of classes, not just sciences. You did well miss Leblanc. The notes were well composed. Great talent, great music. What other talent do you have?"
I was happy. Someone loved my music. "Well, I know how to sing and learned how to play the violin"
The man looked shocked. "That's wonderful my dear. You could also be a great composer. You were the one who composed this music, right?"
I nodded.
"That's amazing. Who thought you?"
"Well, I have always had a passion for music. So, I learned from YouTube, paid for some lessons, and developed myself"
He nodded and then handed me back my notes. "You are smart, miss Leblanc"
I smiled. "Thank you, sir," I said placing my notes back in my bag.
"It's rare to find someone who can arrange music notes as you did. You can put this to great use. What do you want to study at the university?"
I shuffled my feet. "I want to hope to go into the medical department and specialize in gynecology"
He looked at me with displeasure. "Medicine? That's a different route, Miss. Listen, in case you change your mind, here is my card" He handed me his complimentary card. "You are free to call me whenever, there is also an audition being held soon. I will share the info with you, what do you say?"
