AN: the picture above is what i think addison would look like
I sling the strap of my backpack over my shoulder as i stand and wait for the bus.
" so i read the first two chapters" a voice quips behind me. I turn to see a chirpy joel with his hands in his pockets. I nod in acknoledgement. He runs a hand through his hair and i scroll through my mum's facebook on my phone. Yes im still at it.
" You like My Chemical Romance?" Joel wonders. I look down at my ripped muscle tank and nod. He grins in approval.
" hmmm... What about Sleeping With Sirens?" He interrogates. I grin for the first time in a long time, inwardly fangirling.
" i'll take that as a yes" he laughs. "You should smile more often... It suits you" he adds softly. I scowl as the bus pulls up.
" so does everyone have a book at least picked out?" Asks mr. Green. students nod.
" 'kay good. Then you can read your selected book for this period." He claps his hands. I dig through my bag searching for the book. I groan as i realize i left it in my locker.
" we can share" says joel as he opens his book, noticing my problem. I inch a bit closer, trying to read over his shoulder. He laughs.
" I dont bite. You can come closer... Unless you have ebola... " i scoot my butt and chair closer and we proceed to read.
The bell rings, signaling the end of third period. I shove my way through the crowded halls. When i reach the art room i gasp for air. This school is ridiculous. Mrs. Chubbynubbins stands at the front of the class. She was a little crazy. One of those tree hugger , save the earth kind of people.
" alright lovelies. I want you to draw the marvelous specimen next to you. I want you to exagerate your favourite feature of this person. It can be the hair or the eyes... Whatever you love most about that persons physical characteristics. Go ahead. " she directs whimsickely, a magical era to her voice. She prances to her desk and i grab my pencil. I turn to my desk partener and want to go die in a hole. Joel. Ugh. He smiles a toothy grin. He twirls his pencil in his fingers.
" hhmmm... Whats your favourite feature of mine?" He asks cheekily. I glare.
" mine of yours is your lip bite. You only do it when you're angry." I blush. I didnt know i bite lip... Hmm...
Joel begins to draw so i sit still. It takes him about five minutes to get a rough outline. He says he doesnt need me to sit for the rest so i start on my drawing.
I start with the outline of his snapback and face. joel cranes his neck, trying to peek. I cover the page and add a rough sketch of his eyes, nose and mouth. I flourish my hand when im done the rough guide as queue that he can move now. We both turn to finish our drawings. I look at joel. What feature should i make stand out? I bite on the end of my pencil as i think.
" you'll have tomorrow to finish these up. Now pack up your stuff before the bell rings." Mrs. Chubbynubbins claps. I flip my sketchbook closed and hurry out the door as the final bell rings.
