A Random Girl in California

Chapter 6: Lunchtime with friends part 2

Still on lunchtime, the girls and Cherie are having their meals, until a familiar face appears to them. Miss Deborah Smalls and her friends stood next to Melanie and said, "Good day girls, may we join you girls, if you ladies do not mind, I would like to sit and enjoy our meals together." Staring at Michaela, the girls waited for an answer, so one of them said, "Hi Deborah, I do not mind you ladies joining our tables, I mean, the biggest topic that I ever wanted to talk to you was about fashion. What do you think, Mel?" Thinking about it for a moment, Melanie answered, "I am also curious about this conversation about Fashion. So I would love it if you sat with us!" Choosing their spots by the table, they sat down and started their conversation about Fashion.

When everyone was done eating up, Melanie and Cherie decided to get up and go drop it by the dirty countertop for food trays. As they were leaving, Melanie went to the lunch lady and asked, "Hi there, Lady Vicky, are you sure you don't want help around with the trays, por qué yo e Cherie queríamos ayudar-te. ¿No es certo, Cherie? Patting my elbow to her, she said, "Si, señora Vicky, realmente queremos ayudar te.

Lady Vicky said, "Okay, fine, you girls may come along and help. Mas, tem de see muy rapido, cierto? Si, senhora!"
No time wasting, me and Cherie rapidly collected the trays from every table there was, rushed quickly to the kitchen to wash them and once that part was done, quickly go and clean up the tables with a cloth and water mix spray to smell well. Yes, of course, there were sneakily eyes and playful jokes in between but me and Cherie kept our focus and maintain the work. An hour and 30 mins passed and Lady Vicky asked, "Aren't you ladies going to be late for classes? If you will, here is the letter I promised to give you. It's the same message on both of them. "

"Mucho gracias Senhora Vicky! Muchas gracias mismo em aceitar o nuestra propuesta. Con permiso!" And as quickly we said goodbye to Lady Vicky, the sooner we could reach the doors of our classes. And we arrived just in time.

Arriving to our classes, it was a art class, we studied how to transfer a painting from a sketch and place it on a frame. So, as I am drawing and painting them, my mind just went into imagination road, where I am designing everything I can see. When I stopped drawing, I just stood back and felt proud of myself. The teacher came forward and said, "Wow, I love it. Nice work, Melanie. I think we got ourselves a second portrait, guys. "Thanks so much, Miss Potter. I appreciate it. May I have a word with you, Miss Potter, after class, of course? "Yes, of course, we can have a chat."

When the class ended, Miss Potter sat at her seat when I took mine, across from her behind the desk. She said, "Alright my favorite student, you surely have given here your greatest effort when comes to art and I am also proud of what you have been doing here, so the idea is, if you ever thought of participate in a art show. Where you show your painting according to a theme and present it, what do you think?" It took me a while to figure out to say yes because deep down, I really wanted to show one of wonderful pieces so yeah, I gladly said, "Yes, count me in. I would definitely do it. I am looking forward for it." My teacher took my hand and shook with a happy expression on her face.

Her last words were, "I am looking forward to publish your amazing art to the school art program and see your picture on the frame."

I left that studio room with such a long smile on my face that Mike, as usual, finds me in the right time, came over and said, "Who's making my lady smile, is in the room? I laughed and said, "No babe, the only person who was in that room was me. I got the best news ever. My teachers loved one of my paintings and wants to display it on one of the school art program." Without thinking, he lifts me up and laughs at lot. He said, "I have the most amazing girlfriend in the entire world. I am proud of you." He closed the gap between them and held each other tightly and headed home that afternoon.

Arriving home, when Melanie was safely at home, Mike couldn't be satisfied with life. He is starting the greatest achievements of his dreams, having a great support from his friends and family, to the best person who has his heart, the best friend and the best coach, so he has a lot to be grateful for.

He took a bath, went downstairs to eat the amazing supper prepared for everyone and headed to his room to rest and wake up fresh for the next day.

Going back to Melanie, arriving safely at home, her smile was at the tips of your ear so her mother asked her, "Are you doing well, dear Mel? What happened?!" Melanie was so excited that she couldn't take a minute to talk so she calmed herself and said, "I just got myself a place in the art program. Let me explain, in today's art class, we had to draw a sketch on paper and transfer that same into the painting frame. So I sketched a beautiful drawing and copied onto the frame. When Miss Potter saw it, she immediately had a surprised reaction. Then right after class, she wanted to have a chat with me and convinced me by asking me if I was interested on participating on a art program so I said that I would love it so much."

The whole family heard it and gave her huge hug and went to the family table and ate dinner together.
