Not So Typical

Chapter Three

I'm currently in my third period and I am sooo ready to leave. I hate physics with a passion and who teaches a full lesson the first day back like...!!!??!? But I hope the clock doesn't break by me glaring at it so intensely praying for it to move faster. C'mon... One more minute...

"So class finish up the worksheet for home..."

*RINGGGGGGGGGGGGG*

Finally, I've never move so fast in my life. I rushed out the classroom and headed towards the lunchroom. When I got to there I saw Avery sitting at our table with the new kids. My face was literally like... -.- ... Did she not remember what I told her about them?!? Then again when has she really listened to me. So I mentally faceplam and slowly walked to our table and sat down. I was quitely seething while Avery introduced everyone to me.

" Hey K nice of you to join us I was just telling them about you. K these are the twins Boris and Vlad."

She said excitedly and the twins nodded. I gave them a small wave.

"... And this is Alla and Eva and you know Roman." She said pointing to the two girls and Roman.

I gave the girls a small nod and glanced at Roman. Ughh I bet she's going to make me socialize. I hate when Avery tries to brake my shell. It doesn't need to be broken, I like it in here.
"So what brings you guys to Redville? Not many people know about this place let alone move here." Avery asks while staring dreamily at Roman.

"Well my family decided that it would good for us to get away from the family business. You see in Russia my family is well known." Roman replied with a hint of anger in his tone when he mentioned his family business.

I turned towards Roman wondering what was that about. Why does the rest of group seem tense? Seems like their story has more to it, but I'm not sure if I am willing to dig to find out. They didn't tell me for a reason so I'll keep quiet but I can't say the same for Avery.

" Well since you're here.... I'll show you around if you want?" Avery says to everyone but to specifically Roman.

See there she goes again. Picking the wrong people to go after. I keep warning her about things I just feel will happen. It's like I have a sixth sense. I mean it's not like I don't want her to be happy but she is attracted to the wrong guys. I was shocked out of my thoughts from what I heard came out of Roman's mouth.

" Sure I'll love to hang out with you guys. When's a good time?" He said smugly.

Halt! This boy did not just say 'you guys' did he?! I can see this boy loves messing with me. He knows I'm not social yet he continues to try and brake me out of my bubbles. I'm not interested in spending time after school with anyone but myself. I have stuff to do... like sleep, watch scream queens, draw, go on wattpad, eat and sleep some more. I swear if Avery makes me go I'll choke her. Avery glances at me with a look that says 'I'm sorry not sorry' and turns to look at Roman.

" Okay, How about wensday after school?" She saids cheerfully.

" We'll be there." Roman replies back.

" It's a deal then." Avery said.

I let out a small laugh, I feel bad for Avery because she thinks I'm going. I just pick at my food and say nothing for now.

During the rest of lunch a light conversation went around the table. Everyone seems to be getting along. Especially the girls they seem pretty cool if I get to know them I could probably be friends with them. I caught Roman looking at me more than once and I tried not blush or do anything stupid.

I started fidgeting, he found it funny. To be honest I don't know why he's so interested in me. I literally try to ward people off. By the time lunch was over I gave everyone a quick goodbye and headed towards my favorite class, Art.

As I walk down the hallway I was stopped by someone calling my name. I turned too see it was Roman. Ughhh what does he want now.

" Hey K I forgot how to get to my next class can you help me?"

He asked as he bend down to my level so I could read his schedule. I'm I really that short?! When I took a look at his schedule we have the next two classes together. Yay I'm so happy (note the obvious sarcasm).

" Well we have the next two classes together so just follow me." I said to him.

" Thanks." He said with a smile.

I quickly turned around and started walking towards the art room. No conversation happened during the trip, which was really weird. I would have thought that he would've tried to make me talk or something. Wait but what am I saying? I should be happy he wasn't saying anything, I thought with a frown. I need to get him out of my head. With that thought I spoke out loud...

" This is the art room and the next class is across the hall."

I turned in to the classroom and gave Ms. Smith a small smile. Ms. Smith is the best teacher in this whole school. She understands me without need to converse with me. Maybe it's because she can read my art. I took my seat in the back of the classroom and took out my supplies.

Roman was in the front of the class introducing himself to the teacher. I heard Ms. Smith say...

" Well welcome to my classroom. The objective in this class is to learn how to express your thoughts in a visual way. There is no such thing as perfection and that's art. So most of the time I let my kids create what ever they want and put it for display around the classroom but sometimes I give them topics to work on. So take a seat were ever you like and I hope you enjoy my class."

So as expected Roman sits beside me. I roll my eyes but against my will I can feel myself slowly getting use to it. Now that's something I'll never admit.

" Hello gentlepeople, today's topic is life you may begin." She says with a smile. She looks at me and gestures to Roman saying who is he, while wiggling her eyebrows. My eyes go wide and I shake my head trying not to blush. I ignore her smirk and started to paint.

After 30 minutes I glanced at Roman's peice and was shocked. His peice reflected pain, struggle and aggression from his use of color and brush strokes. It's beautiful. I move my gaze to his face, It's void of feeling but his eyes are swirling with emotion.

" You know it's not nice to stare." Roman said with that same smirk he always has.

" I-I just .... Never mind." I mumbled.

He startled me! My heart won't stop beating fast. I didn't know that he was an artist, and a really good one at that. I wonder though what inspired him to create such a piece?... Maybe it has to do with his family business.

I wasn't really paying attention to my painting. I just let my brush glide across the paper while my thoughts were occupied with Roman. Another 15 minutes went by and Ms. Smith cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.

" Okay class It's time to put your work to dry around the classroom. We have five minutes to clean up." Ms. Smith explained.

I finally looked at my finished product. Oh my god! It's Roman! I'm going to pass out. He can't see this! I started to freak out.

" K since you've seen my piece do you mind if I see yours?" He asked.

Omg! omg! omg! He can not see this. I will die from embarrassment. Why did I paint him?!? I feel like I'm going to pass out. There's a pain in my chest, I think I'm having a heart attack. I guess Ms. Smith sees my struggle and came over and successfully distracted Roman. I quickly painted over what I'd previously done with black paint and made it into a wolf with the same eyes. I quickly added some slight details in hope he doesn't think anything of it.
