I wake up the next morning and for a minute I can’t remember anything. Then it all comes rushing back and I automatically get a headache. I look down at my leg and the blood has crusted over from last night, I prepare myself for the start of new classes. It was the beginning of the second semester today and so that means all new teachers (which is hopefully a good thing) and the same annoying shallow classmates. The only good thing about this semester was that I had art. When I wasn’t reading or listening to music, I was drawing or painting or something of the kind. I was excited, or as excited as I could be.
I waited impatiently for third block to come, lucky me, this term I had P.E, science and math so art was really my only good subject. It turns out Lucas is in my P.E class and my math class (my first two blocks) so that’s kinda good I guess, at least I have someone to talk to. As the bell finally rings signalling the end of second block I quickly race to my locker and grab my art supplies (some are supplied but I like mine better) I hurry in and get there early to talk to the teacher, one of the coolest people I know. That may seem kind of lame because he’s a teacher but he’s nice and really good at art. I chat with him about what we’ll be doing for the semester and he tells me we’re going to be doing a partner project for the entire time! Great. I mentally groan at the thought. People aren’t really my thing, hopefully my partner doesn’t like to talk much but is really artsy cause then we can just work in silence. The warning bell rings so I go and take my favorite seat in the class. The tables are set up so there can be five people per table. There are six tables in total so I go to table four with is in the back corner of the class. People slowly start trailing in, no one comes to sit by me, not surprised! And then Lucas walks in and I breathe a sigh of relief, so I won’t be alone, maybe we could even be partners. I smile as he comes to sit by me and then the next bell rings. So far I’m clear of cam in all my classes! Woohoo maybe I won’t have to even see his face at all for the rest of the year. I wish in my head. Lucas gave me a funny look as if he knew I was thinking to myself. The teacher, Mr.Noel, starts going on about the project. Since I already know about it I zone out a bit. Basically in partners, we have to create seven different pieces all with the same theme, and we have to show as much range as possible. Also, both partners have to work on each one, so that our different “styles” of drawing and painting mix together. It could actually be fun. Oh ya, and the last one, the seventh has to be spectacular as it sums up all the other art into one.Difficult, maybe this is too hard for me, maybe I should change classes, I don’t think I can do it.STOP. I mentally yell at myself, why can’t I just think positively and believe that I can do it? And that’s when it happens.
The door slowly opens and in walks Cam. Why is he even taking art?? Of course it’s just my luck that all the other tables are full so he comes and sits next to me as if we’re best friends. I shift closer to Lucas. Lucas realises I’ve moved and takes the opportunity to talk to me. “Hey do you want to be partners?” he asks. “Ya, for sure I respond” I try to smile as if I’m not freaked out that I’ll screw everything up. And for some reason Mr.Noel decides to add in one last thing, one thing he didn’t mention to me. “I will be choosing the partners based on your table groups”Shit. Please put me with Lucas Please put me with Lucas, I try to send my thoughts into his head, but he doesn’t seem to be receiving the message. He comes up to my table and says “Ace, Cam, partners” SHIT. Everyone looks, oops I guess I didn’t say that in my head…
Authours note: okay so i've spent a bit more time on trying to figure out where this is going so i have a bit more of an idea of what i'm going to do with this!
