Helsinki Finland Aug 2000 Creutz House

Cello Suite No. 1 as fill within the house of Creutz, but no one is there to listen to it. The middle of the song, there is a loud screech. Then someone accidently knock over the music stand.

"Great...." Hillevi mutter to herself.

She place her cello in the cello case before picking up the music stand and music sheets. Instead of continue her practice, she exit the practice room and heads upstairs. As she enter the kitchen, the phone began to ring. Hillevi quickly walk towards the phone and answer it.

"Hello?" Hillevi says to the caller.

"Helli Hillevi." Viveka says to her daughter.

"Hi mom. How is work?"

"Busy as usual."

Viveka is the Prime Minister of Finland. Her husband, Ahti, is the President of Finland. Most people of Finland admire the couple, but some of them feels like they are a bit controlling. Their main reason is because Viveka's sibilings are the ministers even though they belongs to different political parties.

"When you and dad will be home?"

"Not sure. Is your brothers and sister with you?"

"No."

"Well then. Let me call your sister."

"Okay mom."

They says their goodbyes and hang up the phones. Hillevi stood there for a bit before heading to the kitchen. About everything in the kitchen is pure white exception of the stove and microwave. She look throught the fridge and took a juice box. She heads downstairs to the basement. The basement is pretty much a large rec room with a bathroom. The walls is light brown and the floor is redwood floor. The rec room has a small bar(the beer and alchol is lock), pool table, table with 4 chairs, and a couch with 14 inch tv screen.

Besides the rec room, there is Hillevi's bedroom and practice room. Between the bedroom and practice room is a bathroom with a shower. Hillevi enter into her bedroom and close the door behind her. Her bedroom walls is pale blue and the floor is a redwood floor. She has a oak wood desk with chair, oak wood book 6 shelve, twin size bed with white bedsheets and pillows, and large closet.

"I hope Maija is not mad at me." Hillevi mutter to herself.

She grabs the book from the book shelve, sat on her bed, and began reading. Ten minutes went back and Hillevi the knock on her bedroom door. She quickly gets off her bed and open the door. Its her older sister, Maija.

"Sorry to bother you." Hillevi says to her.

"Its alright." Maija answer. "I was at my friend's house."

"Oh."

"Anyway, do you want to go shopping?"

"Are you sure that we won't get attention from anyone, amija?"

"Don't worry about it, Levi."

Hillevi is right about getting attention. Her father, Ahti, came from the Creutz family. The Creutz is a Finnish and Swedish noble family with the title count. Their grandmother(Viveka's mother), Carita, is the older sister of the current King of Sweden. Their mom, Viveka, came from the Donner Family. The Donner Family have been influential in Finnish politics and culture since the times of the Grand Duchy of Finland.

"Well....what time we should leave?"

"Its around 2pm......do you want to leave around 2:30pm?"

"Yea."

Maija heads upstairs and heads to her bedroom. Hillevi close her door and heads to her closet. She took off her jeans and white tshirt and outs on black and white checkered sleeveless knee length dress. She fix her midback straight chopper blonde hair into a low ponytail before putting on 4 inch ankle length booths. Hillevi grabs her shoulder bag before exiting her bedroom and heads upstairs to the living room and sat on the white leather couch. She waits for a few minutes before Maija came downstairs from her bedroom and walk to her sister.

"Are you ready?" Maija ask.

"Yes I am."

Maija is wearing orange and lavender plaid knee length dress. She kept her dirty blonde hair(goes to her midback) as a braid. She is wearing 4 inch open toe heels. Hillevi and Maija exit their home and walk to the corner of their street.

"Are we going to walk to the shopping mall, Maija?" Hillevi ask.

"No, Levi. My friends are going to pick us up." Maija reply.

"Oh okay."

They wait for a few minutes until a red car pull up to them. Maija's friends, Kielo, Sohvi, and Aune are in the car.

"Hi guys." Maija says to them as she and Hillevi approach the car.

"Hi Maija." Aune reply. "Hi Levi."

"Hi....." Hillevi says quietly.

"Are you two going to stand there a whole day or what?" Kielo ask.

"Or we will ditch you guys." Sohvi add.

"Sorry..." Maija quickly answer.

Maija and Hillevi quickly got into the car and soon head to the shopping mall. Once they're finally there, they went to different clothing stores. Hillevi quickly grew bored as they went different stores, but like her sister, she need some new clothes. After two hours of shopping, Hillevi, Maija, Kielo, Sohvi, and Aune brought some clothes.

"I wish I can hang out with you guys, but me and Levi need to get home since Jouni doesn't have a key." Maija says to them.

"Its alright. We'll see you next time." Aune reply.

Five of them return to the car and left the shopping center. Maija and Hillevi are the first ones to drop off at their house. Maija says her goodbyes to her friends as she and her sister gets out of the car. As the car drove away, the sister walk towards the front door and found their older brother, Jouni, sitting on the steps.

"How long you have been sitting there?" Hillevi ask.

"For about 20 minutes." Jouni answer.

"Sorry to make you wait THAT long." Maija stated as she walks towards the front door and open.

"Whatever." Jouni reply.

Jouni has been gone most of the day. Its mainly because he is busy studying for his last year at Rosey. Jouni has messy light blonde hair. He's wearing short sleeve blue shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes. As they enter the house, Hillevi, Maija and Jouni heads to their bedrooms. As soon as Hillevi enter her bedroom, she took off her shoes and place her bags on her bed. She wasn't sure she puts them away or wait until her mom gets home. So, Hillevi heads to the practice room.

The practice room has pale pink walls and white tiles floor. The practice room also has a closet. The closet is fill with Hillevi's other instruments. Her piano is in the living room. Hillevi plays the violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, trumpet, drums, and guitar. She has playing the strings since she was around 5 years old. She has been playing the piano since she was 3 years old. As for trumpet, drums, and guitar, she has been playing them since she was 9.

Hillevi decide to play the piano. She grabs her music book and exit the practice room. She head upstairs, head to the living room and sat at her piano. Soon enough, she began playing the Fur Elise. Around 6pm, Viveka and Ahti enter their home and close the door behind them. Viveka heads to the kitchen while Ahti heads to the living room. That is where he finds Hillevi on the piano.

"Hi Levi." Ahti says to her.

"Hi dad." Hillevi reply. "How is work?"

"The usual. What you did today?"

"I practice my instruments and I went shopping with Maija."

"Shopping?"

"Yes, is that a problem?"

"No....but next time, ask your mother and me if you and your sister are going somewhere."

"Yes dad."

"Anyway, please take a shower."

"Okay dad."

Hillevi excuse herself and heads downstairs to her bedroom. Ahti then joins his wife in the kitchen. She is currently start making dinner.

"Do you need any help?" Ahti ask.

"No thanks." Viveka reply.

"Are you sure? I will feel bad if I didn't help you."

"Fine, you can help, Ahti."

"Good. Anyway......Levi told me that she and Maija went shopping earlier."

"They did? I bet its Maija's idea. I thought we told her AND Hillevi if they want to do something, they should infor us."

"I know, I know. At least they were not follow......I hope."

At they cook dinner, Hillevi grab a towel and heads to the bathroom. She took a quick shower before heading back to her bedroom. She puts on short sleeve shirt and boxer shorts. She heads to the practice room, took out her guitar, and playing it. When dinner is ready, her father call for her and her sibilings. A week after Maija and Hillevi went shopping, Viveka decide to sent Hillevi to her mom's home for a week.

"Why I need to go to grandma's?" Hillevi ask.

"Your grandmother haven't seen you for a couple of months. You just going to stay with for a few days." Viveka says to her. "Just pack some of your stuff."

"Yes, mom."

Hillevi heads to her bedroom and began packing to her stuff. When the next day came, the driver pick up Hillevi and drove to Carita's house. Its an 2 hour drive and by the time she gets there, Carita is already at the front of her house.

"Hello Hillevi. How are you?" Carita ask as Hillevi gets out of the car.

"I am doing alright. What about you?" Hillevi ask back.

"Same as usual. Driver, please take Hillevi's bags to her guest room." Carita says to the driver.

"Yes, ma'am." Driver reply before taking the bags and went inside.

Carita and Hillevi soon heads inside the mansion. They heads to the large dinning room and sat at the dinner table. One of the maid brought some tea for them. As the maid excuse and heads back to the kitchen, Hillevi spoke up.

"Where is grandfather?" Hillevi ask.

"He's taking the nap dear." Carita answer. "Do you know which university you want to attend?"

"Not yet, grandmother."

"You need to find one really soon. Your sister is trying to attend University of Helsinki. Jouni is going to attend Stockholm University this fall with your brother Tarmo."

"I know."

"Sorry that I am scolding you, Hillevi, but sooner or later you need to choose a university once you finish school."

"Okay. Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Would you get mad at me if I chose a music school?"

"You mean Sibelius Academy?"

"Yes, grandmother."

"Are you going to study classical music?"

"No...."

"Then what type of music?"

"Jazz music....."

"You would be playing American music then?"

"Are you mad at me?"

"A little, but you need to tell your parents about this.....alright?"

"Yes grandmother."

Hillevi had a nice time with her grandmother's home, but as soon as she return home, she, Jouni, and Maija need to start packing before heading to school. Hillevi is folding her clothes, her father enter her bedroom.

"Hi dad." Hillevi says to him.

"Yes, Hillevi. You know the reason why. I don't want anyone knows about your condition."

"Ok....But what about my instruments?"

"Don't worry about them. Your mother and I will sent them to your school."

"Alright dad......"

Ahti excuse himself and exit Hillevi's bedroom. Once Hillevi finish packing her clothes, she exit her bedroom and heads upstairs to the living room. The living room is really quiet.
