|| Emily's POV ||

It was already 6:30 pm, and I was still stuck at school getting some last minute things done for our art show on Sunday, before finally heading home for the night.

"Bye guys! " I said waving bye to my club mates, as I put some supplies away.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in ! " I said checking out my art project before putting it away.

"Late evening I see. " Someone said.

I looked over at them.

"Hoonie? What are you doing here? " I said.

"Got some extra study hours in, is this yours ? " He said walking over too me.

"Yeah, it still needs so much work done, and the event is on Sunday. " I said.

"Em? It's beautiful. " He said admiring my art work.

"Yeah, not yet. " I said.

"I think it's beautiful, what's it mean ? " He said.

"Just a girl and her thoughts. " I said.

"She looks great, I don't see why it needs work, she looks amazing. " He said.

I smiled nervously.

"Thank you. " I said.

"You need to show me more of your drawings. " He said.

"Really? " I said.

"Yes really, you're super talented Em. " He said.

"Aw, thank you Hoonie. " I said.

"How was studying? " I said.

"Bleh. " He said.

I smiled.

"You almost done here? You wanna get a late dinner together, I can drop you off after ? " He said.

"Yeah, that would be nice, thank you. " I said.

"Okay cool, you need helping cleaning up ? " He said.

"Yes actually, do you think you could put those paintbrushes in that big bin over there? " I said.

"These ones? " He said.

"Yeah, just plop them in there, I'll clean them tomorrow. " I said.

"Sounds good. " He said putting them in the bin.

"Okay, were all good, I think ? " I said scratching my head in stress.

"Emily, breathe. " He said putting his hands on my arms.

"Ugh, I know, thank you. " I said.

"Take a long deep breath, everything is just fine. " He said.

I took a deep breath.

"Better? " He said.

"Very, thank you. " I said.

He smiled.

"What? " I said.

"Nothing Emily, come on. " He said.

You smiled and followed him out.

I locked up the art room and we headed to the parking lot.

When we got outside, it was raining.

"Oh, it's raining. " I said.

"Run! " He said grabbing my hand.

We ran to the car.

We got to the car and shook off.
