Opening the front door is so hard when I have all these papers in my hands. After numerous trials I finally manage to open the wooden door.
"Oh hey Cher." I hear my mom greeting. "Hey mom." I smile still trying to hold as tight as I can to those papers.
My art teacher just gave me the assignment for this month and I have to do a puzzle painting. Like I need to do a pretty big paint from all these papers. And I need to also stick them together so it will look like a real puzzle, only so much bigger than a little game.
"What's with all those things?" Mom asks taking my bag and placing on the table from pur living room.
"My new assignment." I sigh crushing to my couch.
"Are you hungry?" She asks and my tummy already starts to growl at the smell of food.
"Yeah, I actually am. I haven't even ate today. I was busy helping Josh with his drama classes. He wants a part in this play and yeah ... Had to help him rehearse." My mom nods and I follow her into the kitchen.
"Come on then. I've made rice and mushrooms." Oh lord I love those things. I have no idea how my mom cooks them but they are delicious.
After I eat I take my things upstairs and as I'm pretty bored I begin working on my assignment.
I stick the papers together and start to scratch something with the pencil. As o get lost in my drawing I realize I've made this giant eyes and I start so I start to paint.
I mix colors and splash them on the white paper. Put a lot of black on each margin of the paint and on the eye contour lines so they will look bigger and darker.
After five hours of continue painting I take a step back and look at the drawing. There are two eyes and inside them there's a black siluete in front of a colorful open black door. The iris of the eyes is blue, so blue that I can feel the peace in my heart just admiring them. On the edge of the painting is black, almost like a smoke. I feel a lot of emotions looking at the paint I just did, that chaotic colorful door inside those eyes gives me an agitated feeling, that lone siluete makes me confuse and that clean icy blue gives me peace.
I let the painting dry as I take a shower. I always get dirty when I paint. As I get out of the shower I finally check my phone. Usually when I paint I shut everything off so I wouldn't get distracted.
I see a lot of messages and I check Josh's.
A lot of them telling me about his drama thing and then one catches my eye.
* are you painting? Hope u haven't forgot about that guy and math. :)*
Oh my God. I totally forgot! I had to meet that Irwin guy... Shit. It's already 9:36pm ...damn I should call him to apologi- I don't have his number. What the heck should I do? Damn I feel so bad ...
I call Josh.
"I forgot." Is all I can say and he kind of laughs at me.
"God, Cheryl. You are ..something. Yesterday all you could talk about was this tutor thing." He sighs and I giggle a little.
"I'm so awful. Damn ... What should I do?" I ask him and there's a little pause.
"Maybe just apologize tomorrow. Don't worry Cher... You were preoccupied with the assignment, he will understand." I can even see Josh's reassuring smile.
After I keep whining about how stupid I can be sometimes I begin to yawn and I tell Josh goodnight.
As soon as I wake up, the memory of me forgetting about that guy pops up and I quickly get out of the bed and take some clothes on me. I wash my face and put my hair in a messy bun, I apply some make up and rush downstairs.
"Morning sunshine." My dad gives me a kiss on the forehead and I smile.
"Morning." I take an apple and quickly shove it in my bag. "Someone's in a hurry.." Mom giggles looking at me.
"Yeah ... I have some explainings to do." They both look at me confused but I rush out side.
I put my safety hat and start the engine on my bike. I don't even admire the nature like I use to as all I can think about is how to explain myself.
I pull out in the parking lot and enter the hallway. Fuck what if he isn't even here?
And I don't even know where to find him... I just let my legs walking me to that room we talked into and I pray to find him there.
As I open the door I see the girl who talked to me yesterday straddling his lap, grinding on him and I gasp in shock. I guess even the nerdies have their own dirty minds.
They both stare at me and I stare back. The girl quickly jumps off of that Irwin guy and I don't know what to do.
"Sorry." I quickly close the door behind me and close my eyes. Fuck that was so awkward... Damn I still have to apologize. Should I go back in? OK ..yeah I will go back in.
"Actually ..." I say as I open the door and the girl is kissing him again. Fuck?
"What?!" I hear the girl annoyed.
"I still need to talk to you." I gave them an apologetic smile and look at him. He giggles a little and looks at that girl.
"Ok ... Then talk." He says briefly. I glance at the girl "alone?" I ask smiling.
"She's ok. Whatever excuse you want to tell me she can hear it." He's words somehow cut me deep inside. I look at the girl who has a stupid grin on her face, I'm usually not aggressive but I just want to smack that grin off of that face.
"Look ... I got so caught up in my painting that I forgot about our meeting. I'm sorry, I wanted to call and apologize yesterday but I don't have your number and it was already late when I looked at the clock. Seriously ...I'm sorry I made you wait." I give him my best sorry face and wait for him to say something.
"Well it's not like I even expected for you to show up so don't worry." Wow, his words are so harsh. "What's that even supposed to mean?" I asks pretty irritated. I came all the way in such a hurry to apologize and now he's just saying that.
"Well look at you. It doesn't look to me that you have a care in this world." I cannot believe this is happening.
"Look. You don't know me. I just told you I had to do my assignment and I just forgot because it actually takes time to do art. If you don't want to accept my apologies, it's fine with me. But if you want to accept my apologies,stop bitching about it and just meet me another time. I promise I won't forget anymore." I say sharply and he just stares at me. I only look at him and after seeing he won't respond I turn around.
"Well I guess even silence is a reply." As I'm about to open the door I hear him talking.
"Library. 2pm sharp. Come any minute later and I won't be there anymore." I turn around and nod smiling.
As I get out of that room I realize how many people had already come. I take my notebook and head to my history classes.
As I process everything that happened since the day before yesterday it hits me. That girl is his girlfriend. That's why she acted like that all this time... Huh..
And I can officially say that there is no group in this school I haven't talked to. Can't believe I never talked to the nerds till now.. Though they don't even look nerdy, they are all hot- well besides the ginger haired guy I saw a couple of days ago - he looks nerdy.
I can't believe I still don't know this Irwin's first name. I'd go for a Lucas- nahh that sounds too weird ... Or maybe Robert?- no God! He's a total Jamie ...or should I just call him Charlie? Though his dark hair screams Tyler... Damn! Why am i even trying to find his face a first name... He will definitely tell me his name ... Well I hope so, if not he will forever be "the Irwin guy"
