Street Artist

Acceptance

"Thank you!" I say to a person passing by, dropping a few £50 notes in my bowl. I turn back to my artwork. I get money for my family by drawing on the streets, graffiting. The people don't think that but the police do. I have been caught over three times doing this, but my mum has threaten them over court laws and blah blah blah. My mothers very ill so I do a job.I'm 15 but I lie about my age to feed my family. I'm not the only one working in my family, I've got my two little sisters, Jenny and Florence, running 'charity' stalls every week at school, my older brother, Jason, who is extremely hot and lives in London. He puts £1000 in my account for our family. Etc, I have a family of ten, and we have this amazing house, but our food budget is very low. It could get even lower if I go to university. I have put in a form for my art degree and if I get in, it would be amazing. Fortunately we can afford the house because most of us are doing a lot for money, so with me gone, they will hopefully manage.
I continue painting whilst people drop money into my bowl, when I've finished I see there's over £200 in notes. A lot of people know my family's problem so I'm really happy they care. My painting was of twin cats sitting side by side, a bit like the ying,yang I put on their collars. In the distance, not to far away, I hear the steak of a whistle cut through the sky. "Crap." I quickly pick up my bowl stuff it in my satchel with my other things, and dash off just as the men behind me get to where I was previously standing. I run down the secret alleyway and head home. On the way home I grab out my phone and text Nikki.

Hey Nikki, coppers nearly got me this time, but my work is finished. Location, pet shop.
Cool Cola,thanks.im laughing a little bit coz ur text looks more like part of a script off a spy movie.
You and your spy movies Nikki. Anyway GTG meet up tomorrow to do some joint painting?
Sure! Come to me at 9:46

I put my phone back in my butt pocket and quickly walk across the road. I open the door to everyone sitting in the living room, watching old, embassing videos about me. When they hear the door close, all eyes are on me, I show them the £260 but they shake there heads. What is going on?"Nicola, there's a letter for you, I can't stop this one." The police! How do they know where I live? I silently take the letter out of my mums trembling hand. I open it and I wide beam shines across my face. "Omg, I got in I got in I got in!!" I squeal at the top of my voice, jumping up and down. Then when I look up I see smiles are upon their faces with a huge banner held by Jenny and Florence, a cake held by Jason (who must've arrived after I left) and my mum holding up the iPad so I can see Nikki on FaceTime. "Surprise!" They all shout and the rest of the day is so amazing, I thought I never wanted to leave.

Nikki is already at the university, she's been there for three weeks. I go up there to meet her but now I could easily just talk to help all day everyday! Yipee!
The next day I got all my things packed and put all my art stuff into about...ten boxes. I crammed them into the boot and drove off after I said goodbye to my family. I was finally off to university. I never had a proper education so this would be my first. As I finally find a parking spot in the university's car park I aimlessly walk around the crowded room of newbies. I turn around and my eyes land on the fuçking sexiest boy I have ever seen...from behind. He's talking to a bunch of his friends and I just check myself as I'm in worn out converses, butt shorts and a top which have low hanging armpit holes. Great. You can see my black bra, so that's a first impression. Well done Nicola. I then feel a touch on my arm and quickly put the 'arm feeler' into a head lock. I look at her face and quickly let go. "Omg I'm so sorry. You scared me!" I say as the girl guts up and touches her neck to see is anything is hurt. "Dang girl, where did you learn that?" The poor girl askes "well my brother thought me a lot of things." I reply "I'm Nicola, though people just call me Cola.how about you?" She looks sweet, with long blonde hair, flowing down to her lower back. "I'm Ellysia, people call me lissy." I smile at her, turn turn back to where that fine looking man was standing. Aw. He's gone. I pout, and lissy can tell. "Looking for someone Cola?" I turn my attention quickly to the floor and blush of embarrassment. "No, just looking." She laughs "do you wanna come to reception with me?" I nod as we barge our way through the squished door. We walk to reception seeing so many people with textbooks and.. Oh crap. My face turns Crimson as I see the front of the guys I was checking out before. I quickly walk past as I hear him whistle at me. But as I look up I see Nikki has stopped the guy, and is telling him off. He looks like he doesn't care until he turns around and faces me with the most annoyingly handsome smirk on his face. Then, hands grip his face and slap him on the cheek, finally I hear lissy say, raising her voice, "You stay away from Cola, she needs her art degree more than your cocky ways." I then see her storm away from him towards me. "Wanna get back to going to reception?" Her mood quickly changes...I just nod before I look stupid and say the obvious. We finally get to reception for what seemed like for ever, and we get our room numbers."310." I say "301" lissy says, then we walk separate ways to our cars to collect our stuff and put it in our rooms.

After long trips up and down the university steps, I plonk them all down and bend over to see if I have all my stuff. Then a hand spanks my left check and I turn around to see him standing behind me. My voice comes out strong but sweet"didn't lissy tell you to stay away from Me?" I see him just stare into my eyes before pushing my against the wall , his hands beside me, not letting me escape. "Yes, but I don't listen to my sister." He whispers in my ear before kissing me with passion as I stand there helplessly with my hands spread out, frozen in mid-air, he then steps back, and unlocks my room door before closing it behind him. I stay there speechless until lissy walks up to me with a box of valuables."what's up Cola?" You didn't tell me you had a brother.Who by the way Is my ROOMATE!" I say a bit angry and flustered. She drops her valuables but I quickly grab them before they can smash. She sits beside me on the floor by my room door."ok. How did you know he's my brother?" She says , a bit confused. And I tell her in reply"well, I was just checking I had everything in my boxes until he hit me on my butt! Then I ask him about you telling him to stay away from me, the he whispers in my ear, THEN he's pushed me against the wall and starts kissing me! That good enough of an explanation?" I add at the end, seeing lissy' shocked and seriously about to burst with anger face. She gets up and literally bangs on the door and shouts "BEN GET OUT HERE NOW OR IM TELLING MOTHER YOUR SECRET!" What secret? Anyway, he quickly opens the door to see a space invading sister grab him by the wrist and drag him out so he's facing me. Again."she is going to be your roomate, so don't Touch her! Or I will pound your face in. He quickly nods and walks back though the expression on his face says he doesn't care. Unfortunately Lissy was fooled by his walk and grabs her box. "Well I'll be off see you later." And she skips back down the hall to her room.
