What am I doing?

5. Classes/Work set

"Clyde!" an unknown voice calls out and Clyde stops.

He turns to Lynn and smiles, gesturing to the number of men behind him, introduces them as his friends. Lynn's heart begins to race, Clyde's friends were all wearing denim, tracksuits or a mix of both and they just screamed popular, jock type guys. She was frozen in spot keeping her head down and when they began to leave for the first class which was art she just followed behind them.

However, seeing the classroom ahead, Lynn quickened her pace and walked straight through the door. There were one or two students already there so she sat down in a table closer to the back and to the left. The tables were one by one in an almost exam-like format except that they were almost covered in paint splatters.

Clyde and his group of friends flowed through the door and began to take up the rest of the empty chairs in a big cluster.

The teacher walked in and asked for everyone to get into pairs for an introduction to... art. Lynn doesn't even bother to move as she figured that she will be on her own here as she was at her last school in London. To her surprise, someone's tables collided with hers, Lynn looked up met Clyde's gaze and he flashed his admittedly very charming smile as he sat down next to her.

"Would you not rather sit with your friends?" she asks.

"Nah, I've seen their 'art'" he took a pause "and it looked like you needed someone to sit with"

Lynn bit her lower lip and went quiet. Clyde smiled to himself thinking about just how shy she is. The teacher said that they would have to start on a project in their chosen groups and that it was to take a month so she excepted them to create mood boards and development pieces as well. The inspiration was to be 'beauty in pain'.
