Kid Blink School Story

Chapter 6

I was still a little bit shaken after last period, but at least I had art with Nick! Me and Benjamin walked to the art room together and when I saw Nick there, I knew I was ok. I went to go hug him and he hugged me back. I almost cried a little when he hugged me because It just felt so good to hug my boyfriend. "Thanks for being here." I told him.

"You're welcome. I love you." Nick said to me.

"Ok class, you can continue working on your studio gallery pieces, and you can let me know if you need some help." My teacher instructed in her calming voice. I went and grabbed my project off of the drying rack. It was a stylized painting of me and Nick eating ice cream. That photo has a funny story, actually. We had just gotten back from our summer vacations and we were thrilled to hang out again. We went on a date and got Ice cream. We took the picture together and then out of nowhere the fattest pigeon we ever saw stole Nick's ice cream right out of his hand! He never did get to eat that peanut butter ice cream. But I did share my butter pecan with him!

"So, Blink, do you think you'll draw the pigeon?" Nick joked.

"Haha, maybe! That guy sure was fat! And he probably enjoyed your ice cream, too!"

"Don't make me draw on you with this pastel!"

"Ok, ok! Fine!"

Nick was doing a chalk pastel piece of Sean running on the track team. Our friends Bryan and Katherine took photos of him so Nick could turn it into pastels. He was really good at realism using pastels, and he was honestly better than the teacher!

"So, Blink, do you wanna talk more about what happened in home ec today?" Nick asked me.

"Uh, sure. She made me so mad with her gender stereotypes! Like, I can use pink fabric if I want! Like, what if I was making it for my mom or something?" I complained. It felt good to get it off my chest. Nick was doing his project, but at the same time I knew he was listening. He can multi-task like that.

"Oh, she's so annoying! One time I heard her arguing with her friend about the right way to wear a belt! They were both wrong, by the way. People can wear them however they want." Nick added.

For the rest of the period, we yapped about other things like the new MCR tour, what plushies we wanted, we even had a long conversation about the Knee Surgery meme. "Ok, we have 5 minutes left in the period, and you should all start to clean up." The teacher said.

Nick and I cleaned up our stuff. I put my painting on the drying rack and Nick put his in the drawer. I saw a piece on the drying rack that was crazy cool! It was a multimedia piece, and it was the logo of Pierce the Veil. I admired it for a little and then went back over to Nick. "Blink, how do you keep this on all day? I've been having a hard time seeing what's on my left!" Nick complained.

I giggled at him. "I've been doing this my whole life, I don't know what it's like to see out of my left eye!" I told him.

The bell rang, and Nick walked with me to my Marine Sciences class, even though he had a different class.
