Chapter 4:And she's beautiful

Chase young as Diego barrueco.

The days flew by fast and now its Friday 4th period and I'm at Art.

Sophie, Violet and i just chatted while i added a bit of white paint to my Ellie's hair.

"Okay everyone i decided that once these portraits are done which should be somewhere around next week, that we'll be working on a task. You'll have a partner and you'll be working on a piece of art" Our teacher announced.

Sophie, Violet and i looked at each other. The struggles of having only a group of 3 friends in subjects.

"You guys can-" I try telling them that they can be together since i was with Violet last time but Mr Lockwood Interrupts me.

"Actually I've picked you're partners so there no need to worry. You can continue" Mr Lockwood Walk to his desk and finishes a drawing he was working on.

"I wonder who my partner is" Sophie thinks aloud.

"Ditto" I reply.

Once i finished adding light bits of white to her hair i went back to her skin color. This is the hardest bit of my portrait, finding the right skin color. Whenever i do find the right one we end up packing up and u leave my paint on a rack and what do you know, the next days its gone.

After 10 minutes of mixing and adding white, brown and red together i finally got the right color. When the side of her face that had no shading was done i moved onto the areas on her face that where darker due to the shading.

"5 minutes till the bell. Time to wash your things" Mr Lockwood Speaks.

I quickly painted the bits i was working on. I put my sketchpad into my bag and grabbed my painting items. I walked over to the sink and started cleaning 4 paintbrushes 2 belonging to me and the other 2 belonging to my teacher. Some paint flicked onto my face while i was washing the brushes. I quickly wipe the bits i can feel off then wash the painting cup i was using.

I didn't realize that Chase was standing next to me until i saw the tattoos on his upper arms. Luckily he couldn't see me staring since my hair was falling down and creating a wall.

I was trying to get a better look at his tattoos by leaning closer to his arm but i think that was kinda wrong since i heard him speaking.

"You alright there?" He asked. His words rolling off this tongue slowly and his voice mesmerizing. I quickly straighten and grabbed the four paint brushes then turned to reply to him.

"Yeah" I tell him looking into his green eyes and i instantly got lost.

His hand came into view and it moved to my cheek. His fingers slowly brushed off my cheeks while our eyes stayed locked on each other. His fingers remained on my cheek for a few more seconds before he slowly retreated it back to his side.

"You had a bit of paint on your cheeks" He says before winking and walking off.

I watch his back as he makes his way back to his seat.

"Hello. Earth to Skylar" Sophie starts waving her hand in front my face.

"Huh?" I ask.

"You were just staring at the wall while smiling" She tells me.

"Oh i was daydreaming" I tell her.

"About Chase" She whispers while walking past me to the sinks.

I place my paint palette and artwork on the racks hoping no one moves or throws away the paint. I return the 2 brushes to my teacher and grab my bags.
