IDK what to really say so enjoy!
"Fang, you're doing this wrong!" Faris exclaimed.
"Well, how do I do it!?" I shot back.
"Like this," he sighed. He was trying to teach me how to hold the brush right. It was SO hard. I was wracking my brain, trying to figure out how EXACTLY he did it. He pinched the paintbrush with 2 fingers and then put his middle finger on the hole of the paintbrush. It looked easy and it was. It was just so UNCOMFORTABLE! Ugh! I was in the urge to give up.
"Try again, Rebel Girl, remember it isn't always easy," Faris said, closing his eyes.
"Fine." I said. It came out more harshly than it was meant to. Faris had been sooooooo patient, coaching me for about 3 months. I was getting good at art skills, but I just couldn't hold the paintbrush right! SO annoying. I tried again, at first I held it right, but as soon as I started painting, I went back to painting using 'my' brush-holding method. Faris looked frustrated, I was frustrated.
"This is no use!" Faris muttered.
"Excuse me!" I snapped, offended.
"Excuse you!? Excuse me!" Faris said. I could imagine that if he was a dragon, he would have fire coming out of his nose.
"Faris, WHY are you like this!?" I yelled, all of my frustrations pouring out on him.
"What!? Me!? I'm trying to teach you, the only person to try. You're not even trying to learn." Faris yelled back before he stormed out. I was in shock. I was trying. Hello!? Excuse me!? I wanted to go after him and yell that but I knew better than to that. Just because Faris was a man.
I decided to go for a walk to clear my head. On the way I walked past the place I worked at. Then a horrible thought occurred to me. What about money!? I thought furiously. Faris had been paying for the motel and food money. Now that I was on my own, I didn't know what to do. I wracked my brain trying to come up with a solution. I suddenly stopped. What if I tried to work at Mini Stop again? Annie might not take me back again, but it was worth a shot. One thing Faris taught me. To try something and block out the consequences. Faris. A lump formed on my throat. I was sorry I yelled at him. I started to get mad at myself. I shouldn't have yelled at Faris, I shouldn't have come to this stupid place in the first place! I shouldn't have- I cut myself off. One thing at a time, Destiny. No. Now, you go by Fang now. Lilly Fang. So, one thing at a time, Fang. I thought. Good, now, get back on TRACK! I screamed inside my head. I stiffly marched into the Mini Stop. Annie was there, and to my dissatisfaction, Jonathan was there too. Annie greeted me, she didn't seem mad.
"Hello." She said,
"you! Why are you here?" Jonathan asked.
"A guilty person like you shouldn't be asking that!" Annie told him coldly.
"What do you mean, Helvin? She threw away the stuff." Jonathan said somewhat scared but still pointing an accusatory finger at me.
"Annie, I promise, I didn't" I said quietly. Annie probably won't listen to me but it was worth a try. Another thing Faris taught me. To try and try even how hopeless it seems. Faris, I sighed. To my surprise, Annie smiled softly,
"I know, I'm sorry for accusing you." Faris was right. It did seem helpless but it did help.
"What.... In the world...." I muttered.
"Jonathan, over here framed you, apparently." Annie explained.
"How, what!? I didn't do that! How do you know!?" Jonathan yelped.
