I was in the middle of math class, right after band, I sat right next to Levi and I caught him reading my story from Wattpad.

"Allison sat in math watching her crush out of the corner of her eye. Ah, Lexi, she thought, how does she seem so perfect all the time? She started to turn, I averted my gaze.

"Hey, Lexi?"

"U-uh Y-yeah?" Crap! I stuttered again. I need to fix that.

"Do you want to be partners for our Social Studies project?"

"Social studies isn't until 6th period. But sure"

I watched as she silently clapped her hands and went back to secretly reading a book I wrote, just a gender-swapped version of ourselves, Ace and Levi, I covered up the names so she wouldn't suspect anything. And of course, my username didn't tell anyone who I was. Just a simple RandomChickWithDreams. She didn't know I wrote that"

I watched as his face lit up in a bright blush, and he slowly looked up towards me. I turned quickly pretending I was focused in whatever Mrs.Z was saying. He turned back to his phone and continued reading

~~~

I was walking to Levi's house when he started talking.

"I like your book Ace"

"O-oh, Which one?" I asked already knowing which one he meant.

"That one, Lost Lyrics? I think?"

"O-oh yeah? Thanks" Of course, he had read the one about us being genderswapped first.

"Actually, it reminded me a lot of our lives"

"How so?"

"Well," He started, as he opened the door to his house. "How about we get something to eat first?"

"O-oh, Sure"

We walked in his house, I was still wondering what he wanted to say, though. I was scared what was he going to say?

"Sandwich?"

"Oh, sure," I said walking into the kitchen standing next to him.

"Turkey, chicken, or ham?"

"Any of them"

"Turkey it is!" He pulled out the turkey, cheese, mayo and lettuce. I grabbed the bread bag from off the table and brought it over to him.

"Need this?" I ask handing him the bread.

"Yep! Thanks, hon. Do you want mayo?" Hon, Hon, Hon?!? Did he or did he not just call me hon?!?

"U-uh yes please" Oh my goodness gracious. He just called me hon.

"Here you go," He said handing me a plate with the sandwich and some chips on it. I started to follow him up to his room, blushing bright red.

I sat on the floor not wanting to get crumbs everywhere, and I pulled out my phone since Levi was doing the same but sitting in his chair. I pulled up Wattpad looking for a good book to read. I came across one that looked similar to one of my favorites called the Astray Accent.

I'm simply an astray accent.( Accent: tonguing the note to make it stand out more than the rest of them/ louder than the others) Not as important as the actual note itself. Ignored by most, until the conductor tells them to pay attention to me. It doesn't help when you're a band geek, with the name of Andante.(Andante: playing at a slow tempo) A music term yet again. My parents were both in a band, that's how they met, my mom became a music teacher and my dad works in making instruments. No one pays attention to me, but they few who do. You get attached to them. Meet my crush his name his Axel, he is also a band geek. He is one of the few who pays attention to me. And like I said, I get too attached and end up breaking my own heart. Until he invites me over for band practice. That's when I realize. Maybe getting attached isn't so bad.

Wow. It sounded like an amazing book. So I started to read it until Levi got up. Walking over to the closet again.

"Are you ready to practice?" He asked from the closet, getting his violin out again.

"Oh, yeah" I made my way over to my case opening it and getting it out.

"Hey, Ace? I lied. I know a little more than I let on. I just need help with this one rhythm. I can't figure it out just yet" Believe it or not I was relieved he knew more than he said. I wanted to avoid awkward contact as much as I could.

"Of course!" I said probably a little too happy. But I was sad that I didn't get to visit him as long as I wanted to.

He walked out of the closet carrying his violin, already out of its case. He brought out a few papers, sheet music, and handed them to me.

"This one right here," He said pointing to a measure full of a rather difficult rhythm. I couldn't help but notice that I had used the same rhythm in the music I wrote.

"Oh, yeah, clap it" He tried clapping it and it all fell apart.

"Ok, let's start with counting" He laughed. "I know how to count, I just kind of forget numbers when I play this"

"Well, we still need to work on it," I said nudging him.

"Ok ok," He said laughing.

"I'm going to play it for you once ok?" He nodded.

I brought the violin up to my chin readying myself to play. I started playing the song, specifically that line.

He stared at me as I played, his jaw hitting the floor. I set down my violin and looked back at him.

"I don't know how, I'm going to be able to beat that"

"Practice!" I said cheerfully. "Can you attempt to play it?"

"I can try . . ." He brought the violin to his face about to play. "Here goes nothing" He started to play the rythem. Not even messing up once. I stared at him as he played flawlessly, amazing, he didn't need me. Hey was better than me. Man if I could of found my music I would ask him to play with me in a duet. He is amazing. I didn't realize he stopped playing until he asked why I was staring.

"You ok?" He said walking closer to me.

"That. Was. Amazing! You don't need my help. Are you kidding me?!? I should be asking you for help!"

He chuckled. "Glad you liked it. Now I have something I want to play for you"

"O-ok. Go ahead!" I said a little worried about what he was going to do. I watched as he walked into his closet once more bringing out a folder, the same one he had before with all his sheet music.

He reached behind all his music, grabbing the bottom pages. He set them up on his music stand and brought his violin to his face. Smiling down at me he said--

"Hope you like this"

He started playing my song. Wait! My . . . Song . . ? The one I wrote?

I sat there jaw hitting the floor, he smiled at me continuing to play the song. I sat there staring at him until he finnished the song.

"That . . . That was, my song" I said stupidly.

"Yeah, Ace, I need to tell you something. I found your sheet music, you dropped it walking out of the band room. I was going to return it, but I wanted to surprise you with it. I noticed your favorite was the playing of the violin. I have had my violin since you've had yours. I wanted to match you because of how much I liked you. I learned how to play it with help from Mr.Flynn. He's been behind this from the beginning. The note, letting me share books with you when I had my own. Showing my your notebook, cute drawings of us by the way. He knew about my crush on you since, well forever, is what he said. I-I'm sorry I didn't return it to you when I knew you were freaking out about it, I just wanted to surprise you. Sorry" He hung his head low and I didn't know how to respond with words. So I didn't.

I lunged forward off of his bed and kissed his straight on the face. I felt as he was shocked for a moment but then kissed back. We stood there kissing for a while before we needed to breathe. And let me tell you since we were in band, we could kiss for a lot longer, hold our breath. I pulled away smiling at him.

"Thank you" I whispered

"For what?"

"Playing my music"

"Of course my prince"

I leaned up kissing him again this time no hesitation from him kissing back. He turned us over so I was leaning against the wall. He deepened the kiss his hands playing with my hair. I let my hand roam his cheeks. Pulling his face closer to mine. We pulled away panting.

"I hope this means you like me too?" He whispered, chuckling.

"Of course I do you idiot" I whispered back.

"Ace, will you be my boyfriend?" He whipered looking down at the ground, blushing.

"Of course" I responded before kissing him on the nose. I watched as his face lit up in a bright red. He must have forgotten how to speak English because he started signing.

'I also knew you liked me because I sign too'

I kissed him again. Pulling away after a second.

"That means you knew about all my conversations with Mr.Flynn and Nia?"

He nodded.

"I hate you. But, I still love you" I responded kissing him again.

"Same for you my prince"

I smiled and we stood there for what felt like forever. Our foreheads pressed together. But we didn't mind. As long as we got to spend time with each other, the rest of the world didn't matter. Because that misplaced music, was now the found in the heart of more than myself.
