Marissa POV
"Um why are we rushing?" Chelsea asked
"Oh no reason i just wanted to get a good seat" I lied
"Oh. That depends on what type of art you do"
"I draw"
"Okay" We walked inside class and i went up to the teacher's desk
"um Mrs. Rudolf?"
"That's Miss Rudolf to you and yes how may I help you?"
"I'm a new transfer"
"Oh you're Marissa right?"
"yes"
"Well let me see what you got" I gave her my sketch book and she went through it,
"this is really nice." she complimented. She continued to flip through the pages but she stopped and examined this one page. I'm not sure what it was
"Is this...Is this who i think it is?" She said. She turned the book towards me and it was the sketch i had of chresanto
"Um..."
"this is Chresanto August isn't it?"
"Yeah" I said blushing
"This is really nice. The lighting and your shadowing is perfect. You have real talent"
"thanks"
"But i see tension in your drawing. Let your strokes be a little more loose. Move your hand more freely" Ms Rudolf said.
"Okay"
"And you're lucky, Mr. August and his friends draw as well. They are back there." She said pointing to the small group of laughing boys. I turned around and looked at Chelsea
"What about you?"
"I paint. I'm a photographer as well but i mostly paint"
"Okay" I walked over to them and spoke "Hi guys"
"Hey Marissa" Chres said to me. He got up and pulled out my chair. I sat down then Rayquan came up to me and hugged me.
"Hi Marissa" he said
"um hi?" i said not hugging back. I was a little uncomfortable
"Um Ray..." Chres said
"Yes?" he responded still hugging me
"Release!" A guy with a blonde mohawk said.
"Oh my bad" he let go
"It's okay just don't do it again unless I'm expecting it"
"alright" He said with this huge smile on his face it kinda creeped me out. Then he came in for another hug
"Rayquan if you don't get off of me I'm going to call the teacher over here because I'm feeling a bit harrased" He let go quickly then backed up
"Don't mind him. He ususally only hugs people if he feels they might need one"
"well why would I need one?"
"i don't know he's weird"
"I am not weird! I-I just feel like giving out hugs see..." And he hugged Mohawk
"Dude get off me!!!" Mohawk said.
"My bad. i'm just gonna go now. Oh look at the butterfly" and he left. he is a bit weird.
"It's okay he always gets like this after he's had too many tacos"
"well can you kinda keep him away he's kinda creepy"
"Okay" mohawk laughed. i'm getting tired of mentally calling him mohawk though "No problem, i'm Craig" he said reading my mind.
Chres had been really quiet for a while. i looked at him and he was drawing something. i think it was his car
"what's that?'
"My car" I knew it
"Oh cool, can i see?"
"Of course" He gave me his sketch book
"this is nice, do you mind if i go through the book?"
"go ahead" I started in the front. It was nice. There were a couple more of his car, some of his sister. And one i'm guessing is his mother because she looks just like him and it was labelled MOM. I continued to flip through the book and i stopped when i saw a picture of this older man. At the bottom of the page it was lablled 'R.I.P. Dad'
"Is this your dad?"
"yeah he died a while back"
"i'm sorry"
"it's okay. Now how about I look through your sketch book" he said taking my book from under my arm, He flipped through it. i was going to try to get it back before he came across the picture of him but it was too late"
"is this me?" he asked. Craig and Ray got up and looked at the picture
"Um...yeah?" i said with a blush
"this looks nice"
"Thanks" i smiled. Craig and ray said the same thing
"Is it finished?"
"No"
"Do you want to finish?"
"i guess, Turn your head this way" I said angling his head back to the way it was in the picture and I finished
~
The bell rang and I had just gotten finished.
"Alright" i showed it to him
"this is amazing" he held his neck. I guess holding it in one position made it hurt.
"Thanks"
"can I keep it?'
"yes" I signed my name at the bottom and handed it over to him.
"thanks see you tomorrow" I headed towards the door but decided to wait on chelsea who was cleaning her paint area. As she was cleaning she ran into Ray
"Oh, my gosh I'm so sorry!" Chelsea continuosly repeated.
"It's okay" ray said getting up from the ground. He helped her pick up the brushes and things
"So this is your painting?" Ray asked her
"yes"
"It's nice. i like your choice of colors"
"really? thanks"
"your welcome" he smiled.
"Ray come on!" Chres said coming back in. I guess they have to get to football practice
"Alright bye" he said to her. She waved and he left. he gave me another hug
"ray let go of me!"
"It's okay, I'm here for you if you need me" he said and left. i was confused but kept going.
"hey chelsea..."
"Yes?"
"You like Rayquan don't you?"
"Who?"
"you know who I'm talking about"
"Okay maybe a little but don't tell anyone, not even Charice knows"
"i won't"
"Good because if you do then I'll tell everyone you like Chresanto August"
"Psh! I do not!" she gave me that quit-lyin look
"okay fine. we have a deal" i smiled. I got my stuff together and headed to Cavanaugh Elementary. i'm so happy I can't wait to meet the little girl!
