She sat in the principle's office with dark bags beneath her big innocent eyes. She stared at the headmaster uninterested. She stayed up late completely homework, art projects, Oliver's and Garrett's materials.

She was stunned at the how many people wanted her paintings.

It has been a few days after the auction. She has not seen Garrett nor Oliver. She was left alone within these few days, but the buzz about the 'mysterious artist' never died down and she took advantage of this time by going through extra materials.

That night was fresh in the atmosphere. Everyone spoke about it. It was as if it was printed within their memory. She never expected this from a few paintings... Such paintings getting this much attention.

She was not use to this much attention, well, they do not know it is her...

"headmaster called me in.." softly she announced her presence.

The headmaster smiled at his gifted student, "You have contributed so much to the school regarding the auction." he expressed his gratitude. She gave him a tired smile. He understood how exhausted she must be. With the loads of homework, projects and she has been painting masterpieces to make the auction night very successful as well as preparing for the upcoming exams.

She must be drained.

However, she truly was an asset to the school,  "I hope this would be enough to for all your efforts." he slid her a thick envelope which she eyed down. She looked at her headmaster then back at the envelope. It confused her. She might be dense or she needed sleep to understand the situation much better.

"What is this, sir?"

"It is a lil something that the school is giving you." he smiled at her, "You offered your time and hard work for the school by helping us. We appreciate you efforts and artwork." he pats the envelope, urging her to take it, " you deserve credit too and as promised there will be a painting in the hallways on the school as well. "

It was music to her ears. One of her paintings would hang in the hallways of the school. Students would stare at it. Would admire it, but importantly one student would admire it.

Oliver.

She was sure that Oliver fall in love with her artwork. The look in his eyes was embedded in her memory. She felt warm when he stared at her work. She smiled lovingly as she daydreamed about the most handsomest guy in the school.

She loved this prestigious school.

She got to meet Oliver.

Oliver-

"Are you okay?" The headmaster snapped her out of her thoughts. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts of Oliver that infiltrated her cranium, "your cheeks were heating up?" he told her about his observations of her.

She nervously chuckled at her own reactions. She looked at the envelope with consideration. They really needed the money. With this money her parents does not have do what they are doing to get a decent amount of money for her to get the basic necessities. Now, they could purchase necessities not just for her, but for them as well. We could go to bed with full stomachs.

We could pay the bills that piled up...

She looked at the headmaster that patiently waited for a response or a reaction. He was the one that gave her the scholarship. The free accommodation. All expenses was paid for a few years. She got free access to this school. No tuition to pay.

She was the only student in a prestigious school with a scholarship.

Now she was given something that could get her parents back on their feet...

She sighed out her frustration not wanting to accept the offer, but reluctantly she took ahold of the envelope. She dragged the envelope and smiled softly at how heavy the contents was. She appreciated it. She was so grateful that a few tears escaped her eyes and landed on the yellow envelope, "Are you okay, Ms June?" the headmaster spoke up alarmed at the sudden tears that landed in the envelope. His eyes widened behind his glasses when she lift her head and gave the headmaster a bright smile.

"I really appreciate this.." she giggled sadly gripping onto envelope,

"Thank you so much, Headmaster."
