One Big Mistake(on hold)

art

The morning is pretty boring, the teachers are telling us about grades and how this semester we need to improve. I have straight 'A's so I just tune them all out and the kids who don't also tune the teachers out. My mind keeps flash backing to the moment when I saw Nick's concerned face.

The bell rings and I head to my locker. I head to the bathroom one more time to go pee. When I'm done I head straight to class. I just take a pencil and my phone with me. I remember when I took art before we created our own folder and everything we make on our own in an arty way. I stomp up the stairs and race towards the end of the hall. I'm going to be so late, stupid Blatter. When I enter the class, everyone stares at me and apparently there is a new art teacher and he doesn't look very happy.
"Now look at who's late, you must be Daniella." I nod and take a seat in the only spot left. Next to this guy who, sorry to say this, is truly disgusting. When I set my pencil down on the desk, I pretend to stretch so I can see who is in the class. Chanel is here which sucks, the guy she was with at her house is here, Jennifer is here, I wave at her and she waves back. Last but not least nick is here literally sitting in the middle of a group of girls drooling over him. I laugh and he notices me staring. He smiles and I turn back around. Chanel gets up to sharpen her pencil and drops it right in front of nick, she bends down right in front of him, her ass right in front of him but he doesn't look. Instead he looks disgusted and asks her to move out of the way, she rolls her eyes and kneels next to me.
" so I see you moved on from my brother... You're gonna sleep with the new kid now?" She snickers and walks back to her seat. Ugh she is so mean and stupid. She likes getting in my nerves. I roll my eyes and Jennifer looks at me, she signales me to look at my phone. I receive a text from her I open it and read it.

Of course she did I text her back, doeseveryoneknow?
Apparentlyso.... Isawulookingaroundtheclass, Dwayneishere.
My head pops up and my face drops. My phoine vibrates, another text.

I look where she says and see him. He's staring out the window and when he sees me he quickly looks away.
" alright class, so I know you teenagers don't like teachers talking non stop so we're going to skip the rules for now and go to a partner activity." Some kids clap and start to get happy but the man stomps his foot.
" you will learn the rules as we go and one rule is that I HATE loud kids, you all get three warning at your third warning your out! Head to the principals office." The man stands up revieling his whole body, he is a fat man with short legs, he heads to the board and rights his name.
Mr. Walentoski
"You can call me Mr. W for short, or sir. Our activity for today is that you will partner up and draw the other person. However the finished product looks you will hand to your partner and your partner will use the picture till the end of the school year. Understood?!" We all nod and say yes. " OK then partner up and sit with your partner so I know you're  ready.
I get up and start heading towards Jennifer but she shoos me away. I frown and then turn around about to bump into someone. When I look up I see nick smiling.
"Hey partner" he sits down in my seat and I sit next to him. Chanel picks a smart looking dude, Jennifer picks this girl we know, Dwayne picks a girl(of course) as I look at them I see he is flirty with her. My hands balk into fists as I look at him, he got me pregnant and won't even ask how I feel. Nick touches my arm and I look at him. He seems shocked at my facial expression and I sigh.
"Sorry" I relax my hands and look at nicks face. Mediumish eyes, perfect nose, medium lips. When I look back at him he is also examining my face.
"I can't help but ask, are those your real eye color or are you wearing eye contacts?" I burst out laughing
" no my eyes are naturally this color. "
His eyes widen, "wow they are amazing" he leans in closer and I back away. I bet I looked like a scared girl, ugh why am I so stupid. "I'm sorry too close."
"Let's go get our supplies" he nods and we head to the front of the class where everything is. I grab everything and sit back down. When he reaches  me he takes the chair and puts it in front of my face. I get started and begin with his hair, his hair is so perfect I hope I'm doing this right. Nick gets up to the teachers desk and ask him a question. When he comes back he smiles.
"Daniella do you mind coming outside with me so u can take a picture of you?" I smile and get up. I follow him and we head outside where a garden is. "Can you stand in front of the sun? I heard that bright lights hurt people with light eye color"
"Sure" I stand in front of some flowers and smile.
"Actually I think it would be best if you don't smile so bug just give me a gentle smile and look to your right slightly." I follow his orders and he takes the picture. "Perfect, you look spectacular" he grabs my hand and twirls me around causing me to laugh.
We head back to class and Dwayne and a couple of people are staring at us.
"You guys took longer than I expected." Mr. W states making everyone stop.
"My apologies sir that was my fault." I smile and we head back to our seats. Everyone goes back to work and I continue drawing him. I move on to his jaw making it strong and then go to his eyebrows. He has bushy eyebrows but the look cute.
.....
After about half an hour, nick stops drawing and looks at me.
"My hands hurt"
"So do mine" I look at his face studying his details.
"What part of my face are you on?' He asks, I think about lying but what's the point I'm gonna draw it at some point.
"Your lips"
He smiles and tries to look at the drawing. I move backwards and smile.
"Uh uh! Wait till the end, and don't smile I'm gonna make you look serious."
"Its hard to look serious when you're making these funny faces while you draw." His laugh is really cute I join him and go back to drawing.
...
" alright class stop, its time for lunch and if you didn't finish its homework." Mr. W says as he heads out the door.
"Did you finish?" Nick asks grabbing everything
"Nope still need the details."
"Same"
"Do you want to finish it at lunch?" I wonder if he will say yes, I hope so because I can't go to his house. I promised to be more careful with guys.
" yea" he follows me because since he is new he doesn't know where to go.
We enter the cafeteria and head in the line. I forgot my lunch box at home today so I'm forced to go in the line. Nick and I talk about our past experience drawing as we wait in line. When I get my lunch I start to walk out, nick and I decided to eat and draw at the picnic table right outside. Just as I pass chanel's table a foot quickly lands in front of me causing me to trip. I hit the ground hard and some people laugh. My shirt gets all dirty with mashed potatoes and gravy and so do some strands of my hair.
"Chanel what the hell man!" Dwayne yells helping me up.
"Sorry but someone had to take out the trash." She laughs and nick runs up to me.
"Ella are you OK" both guys ask at the same time causing me to look at both. Dwayne looks angry while nick looks upset. I grab nicks hand and we head out leaving everyone in the dust.
"Wait for me here, i'll go get changed in the locked room i have spare clothes. " he nods and goes back to drawing. I march over to the locker room frustrated at how stupid Chanel made me look. She just loves messing with people, and DWAYNE! What did he want! Did he want to look like the hero in front of everybody? Did he want me to know he cared? UGGGGHHHH
......
I change into my long sleeved gray shirt, white shorts, white scarf and clean my black sneakers. I grab my comb and comb my hair, hopefully they will leave me alone now. I head out and look for nick when I come back I see him waiting for me.
"How do you feel?"
"Fine I guess."  I shrug my shoulders and sit down.
"Come on girl down frown, all those nobodies just got bored and decided to mess with you. You're so much better than chanel"
I give him a small smile and he grabs my hands in his.
"Smile.... The biggest smile you can give me." I laugh and smile and wide as my face can handle. We both laugh and smile with each other.
