Obsessed with being the perfect cookie-cutter teen, Brandy seems to be like every other plain cheerleader, looking for some extra credit work she decided to sign up for peer tutoring; when she's paired up with Eddie Munson, easily the most hated tee...
BRANDY despised art class, there were aspects of it that didn't quite click for her. Not because of the research done into it no, Brandy was quite good at that part; finding the right information, doing small worksheets about certain artists and parts of their lives that inspired certain artworks. That she was flawless at. Brandy despised the actual art. She was never good at it, sure the girl doodled from time to time, but she was never good at collages, painting, or stippling of any sort.
Maybe that was what bugged her so much about art class, there was a certain amount of talent actually required to excel beyond cramming her head with seemingly endless facts from textbooks. But Brandy was not so fortuitous with the gift of artistry. Instead, she sat with a stressed hand resting on her forehead, fingertips digging messily into golden strands of hair as she squinted angrily at the poorly drawn on piece of parchment in front of her.
"Trouble?" Brandy looked up, her eyes flickering to the girl across the large table. Robin sat with hunched shoulders, her face holding an expression of slightly awkward anticipation.
"She's not used to not being good at something," Angie Miller's nagging voice broke into their conversation. Her tone that of teasing, and the words similar to those that her friends so often said to her, but Brandy could detect the layer of hostility in her sentences, hidden under the tome of sickening sweetness brought on by familiarity.
Brandy didn't know why Angie hated her so dearly, she just knew that girl ground against her nerves, irritating her with small passive-aggressive sentences, making her day surely worse and worse. If Brandy could compare Angie to anything: it was a pair of wet denim shorts. Chafing, irritating, and overall annoying to the point of wanting to just throw them out of sight.
"Just have some issues with perspective." Brandy ignored Angie and her grating words as she spoke to Robin. The girl looked at Brandy confused, "Like, I'm bad at making shapes proportional." Brandy clarified.
Robin made a gentle face of understanding, scouting her chair closer to Brandy's she grabbed a spare piece of paper, "It gets easier if you know the general shapes and what order to put them in,"
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Like this," Robin sketched some circular shapes onto a paper, a few ridges here and there, "See?"
"Not really," Brandy let out a defeated chuckle.
"Okay," Robin sighed in thought, the girl looked down at the paper, making a few more general shapes before sliding it over to Brandy, "How about now?"
The blonde let out a small smile, looking back to the girl. "It's a dog,"
"It's not that hard when you look at the big picture," Robin nodded. "Try not to focus on little details until you have the general form, trust me it'll get easier."
"Thanks," Brandy gave a genuine smile, her chest swelling with gratitude. A moment passed before she spoke up again, momentarily abandoning her artwork, "How's Steve?" She asked, "I keep meaning to stop by the video store."
"Well," Robin sighed. "He's Steve," The two let out small laughs, "Having trouble with women as usual," She told Brandy.
"I figured you guys would eventually get together," Angie chimed in.
"No," Robin said firmly, realizing it sounded a bit rude she rephrased, "I mean, we're not like that, just friends."
"If you say so," The girl shrugged, obnoxious chewing on her piece of bubblegum. "Everyones 'just friends' at first."
"No really," Robin shook her head with a laugh, like the notion was ridiculously out of this world. "He's like my brother." She stood her ground. "Honestly think I would barf in my mouth," She muttered more quietly, though Brandy heard it.
"If you don't want him do a girl a favor and send him my way," Brandy fought the urge to roll her eyes.
"I'll mention you," Robin nodded, giving a small smirk to Brandy, both knowing she had no intention of doing so.
Brandy groaned at her paper, giving up on the art as a whole, "I hate this class," She sighed, distraught.
"Never thought I'd hear those words," Angie chuckled.
"First time for everything right?" Brandy laughed helplessly.
"Let me see it," Angie motioned for her paper with an annoyed sigh.
Brandy handed it over, hands thrown up in defeat, "Be my guest,"
Angie squinted at it before grabbing her pencil, sketching lightly onto the parchment. Brandy looked skeptically at her, hoping she didn't ruin her progress as she erased bits a pieces of her pencil strokes. "There, now shade it." Angie bluntly slid the paper back across the table, going back to her own and falling back into her silence.
The blonde looked down at the paper, the shapes were no longer wonky, and she hadn't fully erased her progress, just adding as what Robin put as 'perspective', she gave a small nod to Angie, taken aback by the odd amount of kindness, "Thanks," She muttered.
"Thank me by buying me some cigs," Angie hummed. Annnnnd the wet denim personality was back.
"I'll try," Brandy told her.
Maybe this class wouldn't be terrible in the end.
I have quite literary had the worst month and a half, schools actively getting harder (shocker) but you know... Gotta get that degree if you want to make money ✌️😐, anyway I should be updating more now that I kind of have a handle on what's going on with my personal life so...
Would y'all be interested in a Aemond fanfic? Been OBSESSED with HOTD, its really fucking hard to get people to watch it cause I'm just kinda like "you gotta ignore the incest it's normal, it doesn't affect them like mortal men" which just makes ME look weird 😭, like I promise it's so good you just gotta be prepared to never watch Doctor Who without imagining Matt Smith fucking his niece, also Alicent is a lesbian can't convince me otherwise.
