Part 14

Mia's pov:

I've been drawing a lot for the past few days. The competition is in a 2 days. I'm lowkey nervous. I don't know what the theme is which makes me even anxious. Billie says I'm going to win and shit but I feel like I'm gonna panic and mess up my whole drawing. Maybe I'll just run away and hide like a little pussy. No, I can't do that. And the award is like $2,000. I have to try.

"Still drawing?" my mom enters my room

"Yeah" I sigh

"I'm glad Billie signed you into this competition... you are really good at drawing" my mom says

"Meh"

"I'm serious"

"Yeah I hear that like so often and it's getting annoying" I roll my eyes

"Don't you like your drawings?"

"I don't know.. I guess"

"Open your eyes, Mia... I knew I should have got you into a drawing college" she says

"Please leave now I'm trying to focus and draw"

"What are you going to draw?"

"I don't know mom that's why I need you to leave"

"Okay okay I'm leaving" she said and closed my door behind her. A few seconds later my door opens again

"What?" I ask

"Your sister is coming today" 

"Really?!" I say excitingly

"Yes"

"I can't wait!"

"I'll let you do your drawing now" she says and closes the door

I grab my phone and put on some music. 'Everything I wanted' starts playing and I start singing the lyrics.

I eventually start drawing while the music plays in the background. After an hour or so I get really thirsty so I get myself some water. I get a call from Emma.

"Hi girl what are you doing?" she says as soon as I answer

"I was drawing until you called me... why?"

"I'm out with Daniel right now and I thought you would maybe wanna join"

"Ohh" 

"But since you're drawing-"

"No it's cool I'm going to be done in a few I'll call you back" I say

"Okay" she replies

"Bye" I end the call and put my phone down

I finish my drawing after 15 minutes and call Emma.

- 

"A drawing competition? That's nice" Daniel says

"Billie and I basically forced her so" says Emma 

"Mia obviously has a talent for drawing so why not try?" Daniel looked at me

"This competition is making me anxious as fuck tho" I groan

"Chill you're going to be great!" Daniel taps my back

"That's the same thing Billie said and it's not working" I give him a look

"I'm just saying don't stress yourself too much.. If you win you win if not... then fuck it. You tried at least" 

I sigh. He's right. It's just a competition it's not even serious. 

"What's the award tho?" Daniel asks
