Ugh! that annoying buzzer again?!!

"Rise and shine sleepy cat!" Salem called.

"Noo! school is everyday now?!" I whined.

"Want me to carry you this time too?" he said sarcastically.

"...Actually yes, please". I held out my hands cause I was too lazy to get down "but let me dress up this time" I mumbled as he lifted me on his shoulder then put me on the ground.

"Thank you" I yawned.

"Want me to dress you up as well?" he smirked.

I rolled my eyes "I'm not a baby!"

I went to the bathroom to wash my face then brushed my teeth. After that, I changed and went to eat lunch. I found Salem on his phone. I'll never get how guys can change so quickly.

Salem's POV

We arrived at school. First period was physics. Then geography, which is so boring, but I get to catch up on my sleep in it. After geography we have art which is kinda fun. I have been drawing all my life but I kept my drawings to myself. I didn't show them to anybody. I used to draw when I was angry or sad, it makes me feel free and always makes me smile.

Our task was to draw something that makes us happy and draw what we feel. But all this time, I couldn't keep Violet out of my head. I smiled to myself when I remembered her. She never fails to make me laugh. That's why I decided to draw her.

I started first with the outline. Second, I began contouring. I always start with the eyes, then the hair, then the lips. Wow I never noticed that her lips are perfection. I added shadows to give the drawing depth. I love how when you draw someone, you notice the very little details that make them unique individuals.

It took me the entire period but it was finally done. The whole drawing was in black and white except for the eyes, which I coloured purple.

"Oooooh somebody has a little crush" one of my friends perked.

"Mate, you're turning into a girl" I smirked.

"Haha. Don't change the subject. Who is she?"

"She's....just a friend". I didn't really know what Violet meant to me. I mean it started by just protecting her, but then we got close. Does she find me more than just a friend?

"Well that's a shame. She's really beautiful" he said and walked off giving me a pat on the back.

"Yeah.... she is" I smiled to myself then sighed.

The teacher was quite impressed with my work and asked if she could pin it in the hallway with the rest of the impressive art works. I signed it with 'W' then the teacher took it.

But after lunch I realized something; what if Violet finds it creepy and awkward if she knew that I drew her?

I went down quickly to take it down but Violet was already looking at it. No! damn it!

She turned to face me as if she read my mind. I laughed awkwardly.

"Oh my god! who drew you?" I asked pretending that I didn't know anything.

"I don't know. But it is amazing!" she grinned.

"Yeah" I agreed.

"But who's W?" she whispered.

"Sorry?"

"W. who's W. is it like... Walter? or Wendy?" she mumbled.

"I don't know". I started to get nervous and she got suspicious.

"W.....Hmm.....". She gasped "WINGZ! it's you!"

"Pshh no! I can't draw" I rolled my eyes and pinched my lower lip nervously.

She gasped again "you're playing with your lips!"

"So?"

"You do that when you're lying. It IS you!" She smirked. Wha...how did she know that?!

"Okay. It's me. We were supposed to draw something that makes us happy. And.....I couldn't stop thinking about you" I scratched the back of my head.

"That's the sweetest thing ever" she blushed and tried hiding it with her fringe. But it was obvious.

She went to her bag and grabbed what was next to it. She gave me the A4 paper and I accepted it. I took a look at it....it was me. She also drew me.

"We were told to draw someone that annoys us the most" she joked.

I rolled my eyes playfully at her.

"I Didn't know you could draw" I said. Looking at the epic portrait of me.

"And I didn't know you could draw" she replied.

We kept gazing into each other's eyes and we both had this smile on our faces. Gosh, she is so perfect.

We were interrupted by the bell. Bloody bell!

"Umm....I'll see you later" she waved then walked to her class.

I waved back then went to my class.

Our last period was chemistry and we went to the chemistry lab to test some chemicals. It was pretty cool.

Then as a little trick, the teacher lot a wooden splint and inserted it in a test tube. It then made a 'POP' sound. So he told us that we can guess that the gas in the tube is hydrogen by this sound. That was lame actually.

As we were leaving, I saw Violet come in and I smiled at her. "What are you doing her?"

"The principle told me to clean the lab as extra credit" she sighed.

"I'll help you" I offered.

"No it's okay. I don't see it that messy anyway. This shouldn't take long"

"Fine. If you need me, I'll be in the detention room".

I left and went out. Thinking of detention reminds me how Violet had her revenge. And I just sat there resting my head on the table. I think I should do my homework. Yeah, time will go by so fast.

I was packing my stuff after the bell rang and I was ready to go. The school was empty now. But I felt something weird inside.

Just then, Tara appeared in front of me and she began panting. "Salem!" she said out of breath.

"In the lab. Fire. Violet-".

I don't need to hear anything more. I ran as fast as I could upstairs to the lab hoping not to be late.
