After the two periods were over I met up with Alex in study hall to tell her the great news. She beamed brightly as a lighthouse flashing its light to bring hope to sailors out on the sea.
"That's great Cole I knew you could do it too and mom and dad will be coming home late tonight so you won't be able to tell them yet." My expression had now turned from very excited to just plain sad when Alex reminded me about mom and Dad's late night meeting. "Don't worry Cole I know they will be delighted to know what their son has just achieved.
"I know that Alex it's just that mom and dad aren't around as much as they used to be." I slouched in my chair as to show that I was not at all happy and then I opened up my notebook smiling because I have finally figured out that the last few notes to end my score. The bell had rung so we know that yet again we move to a different class which this period was my second favorite, lunch! I got into the line to get my lunch and this girl who I have a rush on is right behind me so as we walk we talk about music class.
"Hey Cole, I enjoyed hearing your piece from your score it's really, really beautiful." "I was wondering if you would like to go to the Escape on Saturday?"
"What's the escape and why would you want me to go with you if you already have Xander as a friend, I mean as a boyfriend?"
"The Escape is this musical hangout for anyone who has a passion for music and the reason why is because I broke up with Xander a few days ago (.....to be continued)

Chapter One-Page 3

As I entered the room Mrs.Rhinehart looked up from her desk and got up to talk to me, possibly about the upcomig play and talent show. "Hi Mrs.Rhinehart, what do you want to talk to me about?". She looked at me up and down, looking at the notebook in my right hand with such passion I thought she was going to grab it out of my hands like Golem from "Lord of the Rings".
"Morning Cole, yes, is the piece of your score ready to be presented to the class?". Remember class the winning pieces will compete at the talent show to win the chance to make it into a play."
"Yes ma'am I am ready." I walked to the piano, sat down and looked out into the crowd of the students, smiling a determined to win smile. I put my fingers on the piano keyboard and I cleared my mind of negative thoughts bringing only in the happiest of memories. The memory that I chose was Alexs' beautiful smile when she is proud that she accomplished something she couldn't do. When I played the notes from the music sheet it sounded like Christmas was once again here with angels descending on the earth singing with harmonious voices all around quieting the harsh voices of man. After I had finished the song my peers cheered and Mrs. Rhinehart was put to tears as though she could really understand the meaning behind the notes. She stood up and announced the winning pieces which I was one of the five winners to play in the talent show

Chapter One (pages 1 and 2)

Today, The day started as usual with the sound of my alarm clock sounding off in a musical way that I love which it would always wake me up at six-thirty in the morning. "Wake up Alex, it's time to go to school!" Alex is my twin sister who shares my room, it is hard to get her up in the morning and her room is parted by a door to make a seperate room. Alex also can be the most awesome sister because she is the captain of the girls basketball team.
"I'm already up Cole, you know that I wake up early to workout so I'm fit for basketball practice."
"Sorry Alex I forgot anway have you seen my notebook with my score in it, I'm supposed to present it to Mrs. Rhinehart today before we do it for the play this year."
"Yeah Cole it is on your first bookshelf in between the books The History of Music and The complete scores of Bach." So I went to the bookshelf and found the notebook, as I turned around I saw Alex enter and sat on my chair where my desk is at. "So whats the story, I mean the score and when will I be able to hear it so I can use it for planning my steps for the game against Keystone?"
"I have no clue Alex, when is your game?" I looked at her with puzzling eyes and then scanned the room and looked at the clock when it said Six fifty-five. "Alex we need to go, like now." We grabbed our bags and our gear then raced down two sets of stairs and ran outside towards the bus that just pulled up in Synchronizing movement when we got out of the door.

Alex and I always sit together so we can discuss the meeting place to meet so we can go over my score that will help her win and plan each step for her practice and for the game. Usually we meet in the gym after school but today we decided to use the music room since her game is on Thursday night, the same night as my debut as the new composer for the school. As we headed to our lockers I remembered that my book order is in today, also my doctor's appointment was also today. "Alex remember that we need to also go over to the store to pick up my book order or they will return it on Tuesday." I took a glance her way but she disappeared, I looked all around me to make sure she didn't run off to make me freak out but I saw her with Coach Marion letting her know a few things. So instead of bothering her and the coach I left her so I can get to class on time in which I ran to my locker then to homeroom wheere I saw Alex sitting at our desk. Puzzled at how she got there so fast I walked to the desk and sat down. "How did you get here so fast Alex?" I gave her the annoyed but puzzled look and of course she looked at me and shrugged.
" I took a shortcut and I waited for tou to get here." I wanted to ask about the shortcut but it would possibly be annoying for her to answer that question. The bell rang for the first period to start, all the students walked to their classes which I didn't have to go far because the music room was just straight across from my homeroom
