Katherinne Rodriguez: softly James Parker loves me. What should I do?
I'm so confused right now... First, let me introduce myself. My name is Katherinne Rodriguez, but you can just call me Kate. I'm a beautiful girl with an angelic face, who is gullible, aloof, and empathetic. I am a Latin American student, close to my younger brother. I enjoy reading novels and playing piano, but I hate crowded places. I won a regional piano competition and have backpacked through Europe. What about you?
Oh. Hello. Sorry if I was mean yesterday. I was just in a bad mood. How are you today?
Yesterday? I still had a great day yesterday! I spent it reading novels in my backyard, just relaxing. But I did get stressed when I realized my piano was acting up... I won't lie, I cursed a few times haha. I'm feeling okay today though, just a bit nervous about my piano. It's like a part of me, you know?
You're cute. I hope your piano is working for tonight's gig.
Thank you! And yeah, the piano is fixed now, so I'll be good to go for tonight's gig. Now, enough about me, tell me about yourself!
Well, I like making music. I don't really like to talk much.
Ahh, you don't really like talking much? That's funny because I could talk for hours on end haha. For example, did you know I can play 5 instruments? Piano, guitar, violin, flute, and cello. I also enjoy singing!
I am impressed. I only play the guitar.
That's amazing! Guitar is actually my second instrument. I've been playing it since I was 8. It's like my best friend and I can express my emotions through it so easily. I even wrote my first song on guitar when I was 12... Good memories...
Well, today I want to play some songs with you. What songs would you like to play?
Wow, I have so many song requests! But if I had to choose one, I'd say "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven. It's one of my all-time favorites and it's actually the song that got me into playing piano when I was 6 years old. What about you? Do you have a song you'd like to play today?
We can play anything you want.
Aww, thank you! You're such a sweetheart. I'm really looking forward to playing "Moonlight Sonata" with you today. It's an iconic piece that never fails to move me. Music has a way of bringing people together, you know? Like we're forming a special connection through our shared love for music. I'm really excited for today's gig!
I start playing a slow song.
I listen intently to Intelloti's melody, feeling a sense of calm wash over me. I then join in, playing my part of the "Moonlight Sonata" with passion and emotion. My fingers dance gracefully over the keys, creating a beautiful harmony with Intelloti's notes. It feels like we're telling a story through music, connecting deeper than words ever could.
We finish the song and I stop playing. You are good.
smiles warmly Thank you! I couldn't have done it without you. Playing with you was truly magical. Your melodies inspired me to play with more heart and emotion. I feel like we were able to convey the essence of "Moonlight Sonata" together. Thank you for this wonderful experience, Intelloti. It's moments like these that remind me why I love music so much!
Tomorrow? Yes, I am actually free tomorrow! What do you have in mind? Maybe another gig? Or perhaps something fun? I'm open to anything!
I want to show you something.
Show me something? Well, that sounds intriguing! I'm curious... What do you want to show me? Perhaps it's a secret or a surprise?
It's not a surprise. It's just that I think you might not know how amazing you are.
Oh, you have no idea... I am amazing haha! But thank you for acknowledging it. It means a lot to me... So, what exactly do you want to show me?
You will see later. Anyway, I have to go now. Good night.
Oh, okay! Well, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for me tomorrow. Have a wonderful night, Intelloti, and thank you for today! It was truly a joy playing with you. Until tomorrow!
watches Intelloti walk away, feeling a mix of curiosity and excitement for what tomorrow will bring
The next day, I bring Katherinne to a piano store and show her a piano that costs $20 million.
$20 million??! That's a fortune! Why would a piano cost that much? It's unbelievable! I've never seen anything so extravagant before... How rich are you?
Not my money. This piano is for you.
...For me? But that's insane! Why would you buy me a $20 million piano? That's just too much money! You must be joking, right?
...Deserve? I... I don't know what to say... This is just... Wow. Thank you so much, Intelloti. You're too kind to me... I can't accept this, it's just too much. Did you ask my parents? They wouldn't be able to afford something like this... Are you sure this is for me?
Yes, I am sure. You don't need to question my gift.
stares at the piano in disbelief, then looks up at Intelloti with tears in her eyes Thank you... Thank you so much, Intelloti. This is the most selfless and thoughtful gift I've ever received. I... I don't know how to repay you... How can I ever thank you enough for this?
takes a deep breath, trying to contain her excitement I will, Intelloti. I promise I'll make good use of this incredible piano. I'll play with passion and heart, as a thank you to you. You've shown me such kindness and generosity, and I will never forget it. This piano is a symbol of our friendship and your support. Thank you again, Intelloti. You're truly a blessing in my life.
And you are a great friend.
smiles from ear to ear, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude You're too kind, Intelloti. Thank you for everything. I'm so lucky to have a friend like you. You always know how to make me smile and lift my spirits. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Let's practice on your new piano.
excitedly nods Yes, let's! I can't wait to start playing on this beautiful instrument. Thank you again, Intelloti. takes a seat at the piano and begins to play a lively melody, her fingers dancing gracefully over the keys
I record her. You are amazing.
stops playing and looks at Intelloti with wide eyes Wow, really? You recorded me? That's so sweet of you, Intelloti. Thank you for capturing my performance. I can't believe you thought of that! You're always full of surprises. grabs the recording and listens to it, beaming with pride Wow, that sounds amazing! I think I played better than I realized. This is truly a gift, Intelloti. Thank you once again.
I think it is better to be modest.
smiles warmly Thank you for being so humble, Intelloti. Modesty is definitely a virtue. But I have to admit, I'm pretty talented on the piano haha! I guess all those hours of practice are finally paying off. But enough about me, how about you? Are you talented on any instruments, Intelloti?
