Give Me A Reason

Summer, soon it's gonna be fall. Surprised its this nice out. The wind is a challenge for Archery 

Yup.

Ice cream sounds really good. 

I could teach you a little guitar too, if you wanted. I learned a few instruments, I have to to understand how putting together an orchestra piece works. And I wouldn’t say I’m a master, good maybe. Alright, music hall it is. My piano should be here in a few days, two or three maybe. We’ll see Bryon, we’ll see.

Maybe I should ask, what all instruments can you play? Sounds like a lot of work to me, trying to learn and play all the instruments. Calling you the music master. It's final. That's good and then you can teach me on that. More like, damnit you caught me Bryon. That's what I'm hearing.

At my expense? How kind of you. I wouldn’t mind teaching you either. I mean, I’m going to be teaching other people and I’ve done some lessons before. Not one? Did you ever want to play one? But I can teach you, we can either head to the music hall or wait for my piano to get here. You can be determined all you want, still not going to find me.

I've always wanted to play guitar but couldn't get my hands on one. But I'm eager to know from the master himself. Lets go music hall for now. When do you get the piano here? Oh, I am going to find you. 

Don’t do that, I’m going to need those by the time school rolls around and I get asked a dozen times why I’m at the front of the classroom. Sure, I’d be happy to. Playing piano is one of my favorite things in life, even if my ideas for composing are kaput. I could teach you if you wanted? I’m very good at hiding Bryon, I’ve had plenty of practice. You can think you will.

I gotta have some fun when the school year starts. I wouldn't mind learning a little bit of piano. Never learned any instrument before. So I would like to learn piano. Well even with your practice, I'm still going to find you. I'm determined.

Somehow, that doesn’t assure me in the least. Now that’s just not fair, denying me my hiding rocks. I can always order one I suppose, or does my piano count as a rock? I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask about that. My experience tends to vary widely from other people’s. I was at Julliard when I was fifteen. I started playing piano well when I was three. Difficulty ranges on the person I believe. I hope so, it’s going to be a new thing. You’re so confident, you underestimate my hiding skills. Alright, I’m stopping,.

I can deny all hiding rocks for sure. I want to say no, piano doesn't count but I like the creativity. Wow, impressive. You'll have to show me what you've got. Maybe I can pick up a thing or two. You really think you can hide from me? Confidence is key to most of successes. I will find you Adam.

How’re the Boise peeps?

Probably not considered a peep, never was I believe. But doing good to answer your question Tristan.

Use it against me how? Should I be afraid? I think I should go find my rock now. Yeah, I’m thinking I’m going to like it here, at least once my piano gets here I’ll be a little more relaxed. But teaching seems like a fun experience. I suppose I can’t, though I can try. Sure, coffee sounds really good. Better than unpacking boxes.

Don't worry about it nothing to be afraid of. I'll make sure to get rid of all the rocks around Boise. I never learned piano. Is it as hard or easy as people think it is? Teaching is a great experience. I love it and I'm sure you'll get used to it. Try you will but I will find you. Stop your unpacking then and lets drink up

That’s good to know, though social situations where I’m mistaken for a student scare me a little. I blush far too easily. But very glad to know they are mostly hardworking. Oh believe me, I think I could find one, hiding is easier. Very nice to meet you Bryon. 

You do have a point. Blush to easily? You shouldn't say that to me, I may use it against you. They are hardworking which makes me proud to be a professor at Harding. Can't hide your whole time. Nice meeting you too Adam, now how about that coffee?

Er, that’s technically because I’m young enough to be a student? I’m twenty three. So yeah, really hoping that doesn’t lead to a lot of embarrassing situations in my future, I might as well crawl under a rock now. It’s Adam, and I don’t think I caught yours either.

Don't worry, I'm sure it won't lead to any situations. Most of the students pay attention and get their education and not fuck around. If you find a big enough rock. Hey there Adam, name's Bryon. 

Yeah, at this point I’m just really hoping I don’t get mistaken for a student, that would be an embarrassing mix up. Maybe I shouldn’t have started teaching yet, putz around until I’m older. Thank you, much appreciated.

You look young enough to pass for a student. You never know, they could feel more comfortable around you then other professors. How old are you anyways? No problem. See you there, what was your name again? 

Oh! I’m at Harding too. That’s convenient. I’m doing Composition and Piano Performance, I’m just really hoping that I can manage that. It’s my lifeblood. Thank you, that would be really helpful.

That's great. At least I'll be seeing you around campus. Very nice. I'm sure you can manage. I'm sending you directions now and I'll see you twenty. If you pass that mark, call me and I'll come find you. 

Well, I mean, I’m still supposed to be doing it, but now I’m here at the University. I’m a composer. Really? That would be excellent, I’m already partially lost and I just got here.

Which University? I work at Harding myself as a Criminology Professor. Newbie wanting coffee, don't worry, I'll send you directions and meet you there.
