NO ACCIDENT by Anne Marian Joseph

Angela was walking down the corridor when she heard a faint sound

of a piano playing coming from the old abandoned music room of the

academy at the end of the corridor. Curious, she went and investigate to

who was playing the melodious tune on the piano. Slowly, she walked to

the old abandoned music room. As she was about to enter, someone

grabbed her by the shoulder. Startled, Angela fell backwards. She looked

up to nd her beloved friend, Sarah.

!"hat are you doing in this part of the school# I was looking for you all

over the place. Come on$ %our mom is waiting at the entrance,& said Sarahas she helped Angela to stand up.

Sarah did not give Angela a moment to e'plain before yanking her

away from the door of the music room down to her mother who was

waiting at the entrance. (ownstairs, Angela looked up to where the

abandoned music room was, wondering to who was playing the melodious

tune on the piano.

)hat evening, as Angela was practicing her violin playing for the

Annual Music *estival, she kept on thinking about the tune that shestarted to imitate the tune on her violin. )he tune was sweet and faint

that she was engulfed by the music. She felt like she was possessed by a

spirit. )hen, her mother opened the door to her room, telling her to go

down for dinner. Angela then placed her violin on her bed before following

her mother to the dining room.

)he ne't day, after school, Angela went to the abandoned music

room this time with her violin. She then started to play the tune on her

violin, a few minutes later, the piano started to synchronise with her

melody creating a song. Angela looked from the mirror saw no one was at

the piano and it seemed as if it was not being played. She turned to nd a

high school boy playing on the piano. He looked sad as he played the

song. +nce nished, Angela looked back at the boy to nd him staring at

the keys. Slowly, he turned his attention to Angela.

!Arent you afraid#& asked the boy.

asked to why he was playing the tune. He answered telling Angela that it

the teachers insist on using it. )he -ooring was not stable yet. )he boy
