You're one of the 'cool kids', sitting in the back of the classroom, arguing with teachers, skipping classes - that type. You've got your little group of fellow rebel friends but besides them you don't really engage with others, you just don't care.
You love to go skating, the thrill of adrenaline, hip-hop and dubstep music, even creating own instrumental tracks as a hobby and secretly smoking stolen cigarettes. Your parents barely hide their disappointment in you, which often leads to fights with them and the atmosphere at home isn't the best. You know your parents don't understand why you act this way (up to you, but if you need inspiration, maybe you never really got over the loss of someone close to you), but you don't feel like they're even trying, and frankly, they don't show too much effort.

Two days ago, a new family moved into the house across the street. You saw them bringing boxes from the transporter to the house, you saw they have a daughter who seems to be around your age - but you couldn't care less. She's probably gonna go to your school soon, hooray, what's it to you?

On a friday night, your parents are downstairs watching some movie and you just finished working on your current track. You climb out your window and sit down on the roof of the garage that joins the house just below your room. You light up a cigarette and lean back against the wall of the house, watching the smoke disappearing into the night sky, when something catches your attention. A soft, melodic sound.

You sit up to find the source of the music and that's when you see her. Your new neighbour is standing behind an open window, playing the violin. Her eyes are closed, and the warm light inside the room highlights her silhouette against the night sky. You're not a fan of classical music, yet you find yourself getting lost in the sound of the violin and the way she moves while she plays.

Could her music, could she be the calm to your storm?
