The piece of artwork| NI-KI [COMPLETED]

Chapter 14

========
~next day~

"Class, your task for today is to draw something that inspires you. Hoping to see some great artist in here!" Said the teacher excitedly.

*what inspires me?* I thought to myself. *what should I draw...*

"Yah Sofi-ah! What are you going to draw?" Shouted Ava even though she was right next to me.

"Michosso? I'm right next to you!" I respond back.

I actually didn't even know what to draw, I don't know what inspires me. I'm a boring person anyways.

"You've got to think of something! The teacher is going to get angry at us and he's going to give us demerits!"

"Ah mulla!" I moaned. to be honest I didn't care if I got demerits for this, it isn't all that anyways.

"Can you guys shut up? I'm trying to concentrate!" Shouted Ni-ki, leaning towards my ears.

"Ni-ki ttacho!"

I sucked my teeth at him getting all annoyed of him. "Aish jinjja!" I said getting frustrated.

I decided to draw whatever came on my mind. I didn't want to get in trouble.

====================
~After an hour of drawing~

"Okay Class, one by one I want to send feedback towards your creation."
"Staring from..."

I was really hoping for him not to pick me so I hid behind my canvas slowly bending my knees to get as short as possible.

"What are you doing, you look silly." Giggled
Ni-ki. This got attention from the teacher. Instead of picking someone that was talking, he picked someone that was hiding! You've guessed it, it was me...

"Sofi! Show the class you're beautiful canvas, I'm sure something inspires you!"

I was super upset he chose me, you can tell from my expression I wasn't having it. I furrowed my eyebrows so hard I looked-

"Constipated! You look constipated Sofi!" Shouted Ni-ki across the classroom whilst pointing fingers at me.

The room went dead silent until I heard people starting to burst out of laughter. I felt extremely embarrassed.

"Yah hajiman!" I screamed whilst smacking Ni-ki in anger.

"Class be quiet and respect Sofi, she's about to present something!" Shouted the teacher trying to make the room quiet again.

I gradually start to walk towards the front of the class, cleared my throat and processed on talking.

"Hi hello, my name is-"

"Just skip to the good part!" Shouted a random kid at the back.

"Okay fine.. this painting i made was inspired by my father... this is me on my swings in my back garden. This is when i was around the age of 5. And at the background there was my father who would always push me on the swings. He is the man that has always encouraged me to become and artist. And yes, that's my dream job because of him. He taught me so much things including painting and other art stuff. This was a painting inspired by the picture that was taken the day before he passed from cancer... This is who inspires me the most. Thank you."

As I say them words, I start to tear up a bit. I didn't want to cry in front of my class even though I wasn't ashamed. I just didn't want it to seem that I was being a pick me since I've being bullied for that before.

I glanced at the back of the class room and notice Ni-ki who was also tearing up. he quickly runs out of the classroom. I noticed he started to cry even more whilst running. As I watch him, I felt kinda bad since I made that happen.

"Wow... that was emotional.." the teacher stated.

Because of that I also ran out of the classroom to check on him. Not that I like him or trying to confess to him again but to actually check on him since I made him cry.
