Never the Same

Chapter Three

I start to draw, in lead first but i actually know what to do i draw a girl my age with a skinny figure long hair down to her waist with lost eyes i draw her over and over again until the hands, legs, arms, feet, neck,shoulders and frame are all in line i manage this in one lesson but Miss Clove tell us to pack away and head to lunch i have barely anything to eat and nothing else to do so i stay behind.

When i head to get some supplies i see Miss Clove peeks in my corner at my girl she silently touches up her head shape and slips away with a smile. I pretend i didn't see and come back to my work spend all of break time to find the right colour to start with and then i just sit there pondering about Miss Clove when she comes in right at that moment and tells me that she had a talk to the education manager and much to my surprise she says since other classes are so hard for i can stay in art class for the rest of the week only every so often getting escorted to one of my classes i even look at her for that and she smiles looking very shocked. So i stay in my corner all day and the next and after that painting a grey girl with no colour no hope its takes lessons to get one body part with the correct shadows and lighting. I don't know if i can admit this but i know look forward to go to school i still usually Miss one of my lunch meal cos of the beasts but i kept in the shadows yesterday and it worked they didn't see me even when i have social study's or maths or science i pass the time by planning what to do next on my painting bye around the midpoint of the second week my girl is done.Now the background.

i thought and then i went into action i painted an olive green grass and rolling hill and above was the prettiest sunset i have seen and in the midst of the pink fluffy clouds i wrote one word.

HOPE

At home my Mum is inside already, hugging my baby sister i cry out loud dreading what happened but then she starts crying and i think why is mum even home yet she looks at me with a small smile and she whispers to me happily "Aurb, we are getting our life back"
