MY LITTLE ARTIST

THREE

Lauren

Although I loved to teach, marking work and writing up notes was probably the most boring thing I have ever had to do! Especially when hungover! I made my way through the various standard sketches, congratulating my new students on their ability to form basic shapes.

When I came across Camila's however, I couldn't help but be remarkably and more so annoyingly impressed! I'd never had anyone draw me before and for some reason I couldn't help but stare for at least a good 30 minutes.

The way she depicted my hair was perfect, my thighs and my torso.. I was sitting for the remainder of the class so her reference must have been from back in the hall? Admittedly it was incredible, every curve and contour was spot on

I must have been lost in thought as the sound of the classroom door opening had me jumping in my seat. I knew I should have marked these last night! I turned around to stand as the students flooded to sit within their chairs. Camila too, the current bane of my existence slipping into her seat with a skirt so short I'd consider it a belt

"Morning guys!" I beamed as if not recovering from a night filled with shots and ridiculous dancing "I'm going to bring over your sketches, the notes are on the back so please just slide them into your portfolios to preserve both sides!"

I handed the papers around, strategically leaving Camila's table until last where I slid her sketch note side up.. the last thing I wanted was her little stunt being on display "Thanks" she mumbled back, laughing under her breath as if trying to mock me

When returning to the front I made a point of watching her read my script, she smirked, looked up at me and almost caught me gauging her reaction. Thankfully I looked away in time and grabbed for a marker upon my desk

"Ok, so!" I began with a deep breath "The main thing I wanted to address after marking your guys work is the proximity proportions!" I must have rambled on for a good 30 minutes about how to structure fingertips and elbow joints before setting everyone up with an independent recall task

I wondered through the various tables, offering up tips and tricks with a content feeling I'd be in for a good year. Everyone seemed to be quiet and concentrated, willing to learn and follow my detailed instructions. Unfortunately that content would quickly fade when approaching Camila's table

I looked down on her piece with a gasp "What is this?" She looked back up at me with a sickly sweet smile "I asked you to experiment with joints and movement!"

"Yes Miss, I did!" She replied sarcastically. I had to bite my tongue, clearly the girl took thrills in pushing my authority to the limits "See" she continued, lifting the page closer into my line of vision "It's a naked girl, she's into kinky-

"Ok no! Outside!" I interrupted quickly, hearing the giggles erupt from throughout the busy class-room "Bring it with you!"

I stormed towards the door with rolling eyes, the girl behind following closely given the sound of her black wedged heels. I turned around to face her with folded arms, my brow cocked and my stomach growling with anger

"Take that smug little look off of your face!" I snapped "Explain!"

The expression she gave me was infuriating! It was sweet as if she'd done nothing wrong yet cocky in knowing just how much she was bothering me. She averted her gaze into the picture below, smiling again before handing it into my palm

"You asked us to experiment with different limb joints and direction of motion!" She replied confidently "This girl has six different examples of complex joint motion given that she's on her knees with raised arms and interlocking fingers above her head!"

I raised my chin, furious that she was making perfect sense "I did exactly as you asked and more! So, why pull me out here!" She continued, mimicking my folded arms

I shook my head with a short look down into the floor "It's inappropriate, especially for the task at hand!" I shot "And it seems to me that you made this choice only to get my attention!"

"It seems to me that you can't even give your student a compliment!" Quickly her mocking nature turned to discontent "Aren't artists supposed to embrace their styles? So what, you're saying I can't draw naked girls now?"

"I'm saying, maybe do as you're asked and respect my classroom!" I didn't quite know where I was going with my argument, after all, she was right

Camila laughed, snatching back her art with a powerful swipe "I'm your best fucking student and you know it!" She snarled "Get used to me Lauren, maybe I'll try and do the same with you!"

Camila

I'm not stupid, I noticed the blush cheeks and prolonged stare at my bondage hungry playboy girl! She seemed a little too pissed off to realise I used her body shape to create it though! I walked back into the class after my stand out statement and took my seat once again, Nova glanced across at me with a small laugh and I couldn't help but smile back

"I'm guessing she didn't like it?" Nova asked rhetorically

I slid the paper into her space with a strict eye trained on Lauren as she returned to her cluttered desk "She thought it wasn't appropriate for a bunch of 19 year olds.. as if we don't all fuck with a little spice!"

Nova seemed to be a little more on the innocent side but I couldn't deny her look of pleasure as I involved her in my thoughts "She's only 22 herself, I'm sure she does the same when she goes out clubbing with Sam!"

My intrigue spiked immediately "She's 22?" I asked curiously

Nova nodded "Yeah! The youngest teacher here actually, she came in on a royalty placement! She's absolutely loaded, sells art to the big wigs and I guess principle Rowan wanted a good name on his reputation!"

I liked money duh, but I really was more interested in the tiny three year age gap! She wasn't that much older than me which only made my infatuation that much stronger

"Wow, almost the same age as our teacher, crazy shit!" I laughed obnoxiously "At least she can afford to go out partying! I have $3 in my account!"

Nova shrugged her shoulders "I have a few hundred in savings that my grandpa gave me! It's true though, she goes out almost every night!"

"Really?" I asked quickly, almost a little too fast as I noticed the look on Nova's face momentarily change

"Yeah, usually her and Sam but she has quite a few friends! Me and some of the second years saw her last week slurping tequila out of a strippers belly button!"

Nova laughed but I couldn't help but cast my gaze across to the now clearly hungover artist extraordinaire! Grumpy, tired.. desk full of red-bull! It all made sense! Something about her seemed that much more interesting now, something worth messing with for a little while longer at least

"Seems like she has a lot of steam to blow off huh!" I smirked "Even teachers need their alcohol and fix of flirty men!"

Nova cocked her brows "I don't think she'd appreciate flirty men.. she's gayer than my cousin Jude!"

"Wait!" My belly erupted with a swarm of butterflies "She likes girls?"

"Hey, don't judge!" Nova retaliated

"Oh no I wasn't!" I spoke, pointing down at my work to remind her of its contents "I don't just draw naked girls for a reaction!"

"Got ya!" Nova winked

With the conversation whirling around my head, the idea of Lauren suddenly became that much more intriguing.. get ready bitch, you've just met your worst fucking nightmare!
