Day 29-The Ballad of Marylin and Roel-Chapter 1:Marylin

Marylin

Marylin pressed the keys on the piano that was located at the corner of the stage in the auditorium. The first few tinkles were cautionary,she had no clue what she wanted to play,but suddenly bust out playing a cheerful tune. She swayed gently as she played,plinking her fingers across the keys,and moved her mouth as if singing lyrics,but never singing a single thing. Then she began to meld the notes into a slower more melancholy melody.

The sound of doors opening and closing made Marylin stop playing. She quickly grabbed her things and began to walk toward the main entrance of the building. Someone called out to her.

"Hey!" A guy with dark brown hair began crossing the isle,waving at her as to catch her attention.

"Yes?" She said confused by his nervous,animated,and hurried manner.

"I need some help. If you would be so kind?" He looked at her expectantly

Marylin being the kind of person she was could not object. "Sure,what kind of help."

"I changed universities this year,and well I need to find room 1004,I have a class like now."

"Oh,yes. Follow me." She said with a small smile.

She took them on a small journey it seemed,through about eight different doors, two staircases,one ramp and two buildings to finally arrive at room 1004.

"Here you are." She gestured at the door very grandly.

He put his hand on the door knob. "Thanks..." becoming blank under her stare,she then realized they had never gotten each others name.

"Marylin." She stuck out her hand for him to shake. "Marylin. The name's Roel." He grabbed her hand and gave it a firm shake. She noticed his nails were very short on his long fingers,and by the looks of it though she could only guess that he played guitar or something of that sort.

"Nice to meet you Roel. Well,have fun in this class,the teacher is great from what I hear." He just smiled and looked at her nodding his head as if to indicated her was hearing the words coming from her mouth. "Oookay." She swiftly turned around and began to walk in the opposite direction.

"Marylin!" She heard Roel call out to her. She turned around and looked at him with a raised eyebrow her insides brimming with embarassment for not particular reason.

"I'll catch you later?" In response she did nothing but shrug her shoulders,turn around,and begin walking once more.
