Before Me

Chapter 9

Detention is so boring.

I am the only one in the room with my annoying tutor.

I was still in my seat, sketching.

I love to draw. I do it when I am free at home or during art club.

Many of the painting at home belongs to me. My dad even sells some of them for me but I never go for the auction.

I also use a different name,my pen name an abbreviation of my name,I.A.

My mom says I have potentials and I could have a career in art.

But I don't know. I still don't know what I want to do in college.

"Miss Angelis, please move forward. You are too far off"Mr. Harrison says getting my attention and I raised my head to meet his amazing grey eyes.

I blush when he smiled at me. He freaking smiled.

Is this man bipolar or something?

He has different personalities. I nod,

"Oh... okay sir"I stutter.

I grabbed my bag from my chair and picked up my sketch pad from the table along with the many pencils and color pencils.

I sat at the first seat in the middle row.

I looked up again to see Mr. Harrison arranging his desk.

I went back toy sketching.

I was too consumed in my sketch I didn't notice Mr. Harrison standing infront of me.

"Is that me Miss Angelis? Are you drawing me?"he asks with amusement laced in his voice startling me.

I looked at the incompleted face with grey eyes.

I gulped and looked up at him,

"I am the muse behind the sketch"he says and picks it up before I could react to it.

"N...no..it isn't you. You are not the only with grey eyes"I stutter.

"Well but I am the only with this shade of grey eyes in this entire school. But if you say so"he shrugs and I turned red.

He begins to open the other sketches before I could stop him.

I looked down at the pencils from embarrassment.

"Not bad. Your drawings are actually pretty great. Thinking of making a career out of this?"he asks

"I don't know. I haven't thought of it" I tell him blushing.

"Well you should think of it? Any schools in mind for college?"he asks again going through my drawings.

"I haven't picked one yet. I don't which is suitable for me"I tell him and looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
