CLAIRE AND DIANA

ENEMIES TO LOVERS

CHAPTER TWELVE

They both hated each other's existence more than anything, they two of them had to wait for an hour for the next bus. No word could be heard.

Aiden looked at Diana.

"Oi? Listen"

"hm?". she kept staring at the sky.

"You know where I live right?"

he turned his body towards Diana.

"What are you? My childhood friend? Do you even know how to speak sense? "

She lifted her left eyebrow out of sarcasm.

"...." It seemed like he ran out of words with his eyebrows twitching, He faced the road and tilted his head to say.

"Brainless behavior."

Diana glared at him as he said her jaw dropped due to what she heard. She was shocked, crossed her arms, and said.

"You know what Aiden, You are the only one to talk".

She was annoyed.

"As you say." He smirked and put his leg on his other.

On the other hand, Claire and Luan were still at school.

Luan had asked Claire if she could join him to meet the teacher for old assignments, and she agreed. And now they both are heading towards the staffroom.

Claire knocked on the door as Luan said.

"Excuse me, sir, can we come in."

The teacher nodded his head and said allowed. He was using his phone and laughing at the post he saw.

The two of them stood blank for three minutes looking at him.

"Am I too handsome?" said the teacher.

"N-No sir that's not it." Claire panicked and said.

"So you are calling me ugly." He was still facing his phone and raised his eyelids to make eye contact with them.

Claire was frozen, Luan said:

"No sir actually, we are here to ask if we can get the previous assignment, to get an idea out of it. Only if you allow us to see onc-." He was in the middle of completing the sentence the teacher said without listening fully.

"Say less, I was about to give the idea to your class but I think your other member was right about having geniuses. Follow me". He got up from his chair took keys from the board and walked straight to the storage room.

He opened a box with dust on it and said:

"Take pictures of it, if you have phones on you because I can't allow you to take it home, you have fifteen minutes."

The two took pictures of projects one by one, Claire froze the moment when she held the canvas of a painting with too much detailing. The sky, mountains, trees, and lake looked as if it was a picture taken by an expensive camera. It was a masterpiece that nobody could redo, no matter how many times they tried it. Claire knew it, a little too well because she was an artist herself.

Claire opened her mouth with her eyeballs shaking.

"Sir, was this the one with the highest score?"

"That's the one I told you guys, it made me regret of why did I not joined the group who were assigned this assignment, well it was the only year when this project won the best project, even the theory was detailed as if the person painting it was sitting at a place like that."
