I lifted the bow. I nodded to Lukas as he took his place several feet away. I didn't like how he was so ashamed of the orchestra- of me- but I put up with him. He was family. I promptly resumed my playing, drifting in and out of familiar songs.
My eyes flickered open for half a second. I was looking directly at a boy with brown hair- Mikey, double bass- and green eyes.... who was looking directly at me. I shivered. He was gazing me so... intensely. Like he wanted, no, needed to see how I worked, what I thought, why I was like I was. I got goosebumps and set myself back to playing Lux Aeterna.
I heard Lukas snicker, and in one quick motion, slapped the back of his head with my bow. There were several laughs and a smattering of applause. I smirked, eyes still closed. I tuned into the sound of the double bass down in the pit, and started playing a melody that complemented it.
I opened my eyes, a bit in a daze. I made the last note waver and launched into another song, this one sweeter. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1, the classic cello piece. I ended it just as Mr. Bowie, our conductor, strutted in, beaming his hairless head off.
Oh, jeez.
