those days -- lindsey stirling, feat. dan + shay words: 193 notes: fri jan 12, 2024, a bit after school/some extracurriculars He should definitely be taking more care to not hurt his school-issued violin, but Eddie still swung the case around a couple of more times before actually setting it down beside him. He was perched at the edge of the stage in the auditorium, having finished up his band practice after school let out for the day, and Eddie was now just waiting for some of his housemates before heading home.
Rather, he was waiting more so for Sierra, considering the adult never minded being the designated driver to and from the school as long as no one was late nor bothered her as she finished up her own tasks. He never thought of how much paperwork came with being a principal, despite said principal's mind being like a computer.
Eddie glanced around the empty auditorium before taking his violin out of its case again. He wriggled his arms and fingers, giving them a brief warmup before launching into, what he could tell, was a decent mimic of a song from a violinist he enjoyed listening to lately.
If someone complained about the sounds, well, then Eddie could just claim he was practicing.

Laurie slowly stretched her arms above her head, her fingers interlocked as she felt her body pop in several places. After a long practice with track, her body was sore and she could feel the physical and mental strain of the school day already. And yet, she still had plenty of homework to worry herself with later as well. She may have been more of an academic than an athlete, but even she had her days where she dreaded the schoolwork that came after the day. " Least its Friday." She muttered under her breath. But just as the blue skinned teen was about to exit the building, a lovely set musical notes reached her ears causing her to pause at the door, hand on the handle to push down. Was the band practicing still? She could have sworn by now all the clubs and other extracurriculars would be done by now given the time. A straggler maybe? Well, not like she was any real rush to get back to the boarding house, so she could afford a small detour. Tucking her bag more under her arm, Laurie made her way to the auditorium, hearing the music getting louder and louder until she arrived and slowly pushed open one of the doors. There she found another of the students sitting on the edge of the stage skillfully playing on his violin. It almost sounded professional in her opinion, but this also came from someone who tended to listen to a lot of classical among other genres. But rather than interrupt Eddie, Laurie was content to listen for a bit as to not be rude. Tags: Foxtrot, open!

![](https://i.imgur.com/krr8f2gs.jpg) laughing out loud staying up too late those days -- lindsey stirling, feat. dan + shay words: 202 without the lyrics notes: nada Eddie was, at this point, on his feet as he continued playing the song. He was swaying with the rhythm of the music, shuffling just enough to be considered dancing but not enough to completely throw off his playing. As his grandma used to call it, he just needed to get his wiggles out while he listened to the notes.
He was humming along to the song and the sounds of the auditorium door opening reached his ears. He glanced over quickly, noticing a fellow student poking her head in, and he didn't break his stride. He knew of Laurie, her looks not inconspicuous at all, and smiled in her direction. Eddie wasn't sure if she was close enough to even see said smile, but she could clearly hear him. He flowed back into the first verse of the song with his violin so he could sing the lyrics:
"We had a little bit of time but it's never enough Remember driving all night, we'd been talking 'bout love Now that you're gone the show is done We had a little bit of time but it's never enough..."
As his words played with the music, he gestured with his head, jerking it slightly without trying to jostle the violin itself to indicate to Laurie that she could come further into the auditorium. Playing the song softly, the lyrics fizzled out and he said casually to her, "I don't mind an audience."

Laurie watched in awe at the ease of which Eddie moved while playing his violin. There was no doubt for the teen to be able to play and move so fluidly as well as being able to sing without missing a beat took much time and practice, practiced enough there seemed no breaking of his movements or his tone. Musicians who could carry on in such a way was almost mesmerizing, a skill she could imagine took years to master. Though it didn't take long for Eddie to take notice of her audience, blushing in embarrassment for being caught watching. Not that she had intended to be a bother for his personal performance of course, having let her curiosity get the better of her. Though, he didn't seem to mind at the very least. But, it didn't stop her from feeling embarrassed and guilty, worried she had interrupted his performance when he had been deep into the rhythm of his violin. Fortunately, Eddie didn't seem to mind, only confirmed by his words of not minding an audience. Least he seemed kind and welcoming, smoothing over some of her hesitation as she moved further into the auditorium. " Sorry, I wasn't trying to interrupt your performance or intrude, I just got a little curious with hearing music out of no where." She admitted, rubbing the back of her neck as she looked away in embarrassment despite Eddie mentioning he didn't mind someone being around. " Mean that's not to say you're not good, you're pretty talented!" Laurie babbled on, feeling the need to explain herself a bit better, " It just sounded like the band was still playing, that's all..." The blue skinned girl finally paused for a moment, realizing she was just going on and on about something where such a long-winded explanation was unnecessary. Now she was just making things more convoluted than she had to. Clearing her throat, Laurie offered Eddie a meek smile, " Anyway, what I'm trying to say is just was curious about your playing is all." Ugh, why did she have to be so socially awkward? There was times Laurie cursed herself for being such a loner and wallflower, knowing she really needed to get out more. Maybe she could ask Olivia for some tips. Tags: Foxtrot, open!

![](https://i.imgur.com/krr8f2gs.jpg) staring out the window whilst I see your face those days -- lindsey stirling, feat. dan + shay words: 222 notes: nada Eddie couldn't help but grin as he noticed Laurie come further into the auditorium as he invited her to come closer while he played. He hummed along to his violin instead of singing as he continued strumming, aiming to find a good spot in the song to make it sound like a natural end.
As the last of the notes echoed in the auditorium, Eddie plopped back down on the edge of the stage while Laurie began to speak. She rambled a little, and Eddie's grin stayed. When she mentioned that it had sounded like the band was still playing, Eddie said, "Nah, just little ol' me. I'm basically just waiting for my ride home to finish up, so figured I'd play a little more so I don't do something else that would get me into trouble.
"Thank you, though," Eddie said, getting to his feet again just to do a goofy bow. "I appreciate that you liked my impromptu performance. Did you like it enough for me to distract you on your way out of the school building? Or are you stuck here for another reason?
"If you are stuck here for a little longer," he added, "then I can continue to entertain, if you'd like. I take requests of all kinds. You know, as long as I know the songs."

Waiting on his ride, well that made more sense. No point of being bored out of your mind when you were waiting, and what better place to do so than the auditorium. Definitely better than coming in there for school assemblies and announcements, in her opinion at least. Nevertheless, Laurie smiled slightly regarding avoiding any other kind of trouble, " Suppose an impromptu music performance is better than chancing a performance in detention." She agreed. Although, that would probably be one of the most entertaining detentions in the history of school, be a lot better than just sitting there sleeping or trying to get caught up on school assignments. Depending on who the one in charge of detention was anyway and how strict they could get. " But given the performance, think no one would really mind a little music." Laurie added as she shifted her bag to her other arm feeling the one it rested on starting to get that tingling feeling and threatening to fall asleep on her. " Though like I said, your performance alone was impressive, maybe they ought to let you be a one-man band." She suggested, albeit mostly in a joking manner. Laurie shook her head then, " Nah, mostly just a surprising distraction to be honest. I just got done with track so I was fixing to head home but couldn't resist curiosity." She answered Eddie, " Besides I don't really need a ride when I have my own transportation." To emphasize what she meant, Laurie briefly left solid ground, allowing herself to hover in place for a moment before landing again, " Lot easier than a car in my opinion." At least she would save a lot on gas and transportation in her life. " Requests huh, whatever you recommend, I'll listen to just about anything." She welcomed Eddie to pick whatever he wanted to play, not exactly being very picky regarding her music preferences. Besides, it wasn't like she was in a huge rush anyway. Tags: Foxtrot, open!
