A silent moment passed, and Randi felt it was safe to lift her gaze again. The blush from her cheeks had receded and she didn't feel as flustered anymore. That is until she looked over at the blond boy again, this time catching his gaze. Her eyes widened as he caught her looking, and once again the blush came back, fiercer than ever as he winked at her.
Immediately dropping her gaze again, she ducked around the corner for a moment to catch her composure, Stop it. Stop it right now. You are making a fool of yourself...
As she looked up, her eyes caught sight of a piano laying dusty in the far room...her heart longed to play it, and she lingered there in the hall staring at the beautiful ivory piece, tapping her fingers against her bag.
I should go back with the others... she thought, but she couldn't take her gaze away. Plus...that boy...there is something about him...
Part of her hoped he left her alone, part of her didn't want to let him in...but part of her wanted him to follow, to chase after her and ask questions. She was confused, being around so many people did that to her...crowds...she felt suffocated. Only behind the keys did she feel truly comfortable...
She glanced back toward the group, and lingered deciding if she would go explore the piano...or stay and socialize. Again her heart told her to go play, but something else kept her near the others...Why...? she thought, peeking around the corner once again, Why no one else...ever...before him...
