Andre stood on the veranda leaning against the rain looking out at the city of DeeCee wondering now that he was here what is he to do? What does one do at school and such? He didnt know but he guessed he will find out. he turned from the view of the city and head back inside to get ready for the evening. As part of the agreement his parents works out to allow him to get on of the better and most privet apartments he was to play at a few events. One of them being tonight at a little cafe though it was most likely to drum up business for the place but he didnt think about that all he cared for was the fact he did get to play. He was in one of his better set of cloths he used to play. A pair of black dress pants with a red silk dress shirt that had a vest that matched the pants in color.He liked the look of it in the full length mirror in his bedroom as he looked at himself. To finish it off he put on a black coat as his eyes perked up feeling pleased with himself as he was ready half an hour ahead of time. Since he didnt know the lay out of the city he had call for a drive to pick him up and drive him around for the time he was to stay in the school. He grabbed his keys and wallet and locked up the place as he headed down to meet the car and driver. Since he had an extra half an hour he had the drive go around town as he looked out the window.

"Not from around here are ya'?" Asked the drive in a deep husky voice that sounded like he was a chain smoker. The drive, Named Nick Dolton, was a heavy set man in his late thirties in a suit that looked like it was a size smaller then he needed. Andre looked at the city lit up at night and watched the people walk by a few couples or groups of friends or just loners wondering the night.

"No I am not." he answered simply to Nick's question as he hoped it was already time to get to the cafe. nick just shrugged to Andre's flat tone and just drove and once the time was set for them to be at the cafe Nick took him there. As Andre left the car and Nick waiting for him outside he walked into the cafe looked smaller then he thought. It was nicely decorated and the lightly fit the intimate atmosphere the seating and tables where all modern decor. But it was still small compared to some of the places Andre always played. As Andre looked at the place the owner came to greet him. She was a woman in her early thirties but looked great for her age since she could pass for mid twenties. She was a bit taller then Andre and wore a simple blue dress and no jewelry that he could see. She seemed giddy that he was there.

"Oh my your here your really here to play in my humble cafe you do not know how much I love that your here." She said in a very high excited tone of voice as she gushed over him.

"It is nice to be here you have a nice place."he said in his usual tone of voice which next to hers would seem like he was bored or something. However he too was a bit excited to be able to play.

"So I already went over the play list with your manager but in case you want to change anything that will be fine with me."She told him as she lead him to the piano he will be playing. It was a nice simple black piano which he had decided to call Ann. As he sat at the piano and touch a few of the keys he looked up at her.

"Hmm I might but I will still start out with Ave Maria if you house singer is still up for it."he said as he played a quick tune on the keys. To which the woner seemed to just get excited over hearing.

"Oh she could make it so i will have to fill in for her but I know the song and am ready when you am."She said with a great big smile as she seemed to not believe she gets to sing with him playing.

"Alright."Is all he said as the cafe started to fill with a few patrons as he started to play the intro notes to Ave Maria and was surprised at the voice of the owner she was quite good. He started to get into as in his mind he spoke to the piano sing for me Ann.
