Unexpectedly

Chapter 31: An Unexpected Artist

Sarah: "thank you for spending the night here."
Arianne: "it's our pleasure. We also have fun here."
Erick: (she's so plastic..)
Arianne: "I guess we should go now, bye! We'll visit again next time."
Sarah: "bye, take care."

While waiting for a taxi...

Arianne: "you should go home ahead, I still have to attend a meeting at the school. It's for the Arts club."
Erick: "just don't expect that when you come back, there is still some food in the fridge."
Arianne: "pff.. fine."

They go in separate ways. Arianne is going to the school, while Erick is going back to the condo.

When Arianne arrived at the school, she ran to the Arts room, hoping that she isn't late for the meeting. She opened the door and saw that they are about to start the meeting.

Arianne: "a-ah...sorry... I was late."
Stephanie: "it's okay, we were just about to start." ,"so.. let's start." "The school director told me about an arts competition. He said our school should join there, but our club is busy and we have the best artists in the campus."
Arianne: (I dont think I'm included in that... to be honest)
Stephanie: "so I've decided that we'll join the competition, but we'll choose a representative for our school to compete there. We need to choose someone who is not really busy and who is, at the same time, a great artist. Any suggestion?"
Arianne: "wait, you can't join the competition?"
Stephanie: "well... as the president of the Arts club, I'm surely busy.." ,"Arianne, why don't you join the competition?"
Arianne: "m-me? Why me? I mean, I'm not a great artist. I-I don't have any original ideas or design."
Erick: "she's lying."
Other members: "Erick?!"
Stephanie: "what brings you here?"
Erick: *shows Arianne's drawing* "she drew this herself."
Members: "wow!"
Arianne: "what the heck are you doing? And why do you have my Sketchbook?"
Erick: "I just that since you're gonna attend an Arts meeting, you might sketch some ideas. So, here I am."
Stephanie: "so it's decided then, Arianne is gonna join the Arts competition as the representative of our school. Goodluck Arianne, I know you can do it. Okay, this is the end of our meeting, you guys can go home now."

Arianne: *makes a fist and looks for Erick* (where the heck is that bastard?!) *receives a text from Erick*
Text from Erick: "sorry but, I already went home :P"
Arianne: "Erick... I will fucking kill you!!!!"

Arianne didn't go home immediately, she went to the park to calm herself down. She buy a mango shake and sat on the bench.

Arianne: *sighs* "what am I going to do?"
Grey: "looks like someone's having a bad day."

Before she could respond, Grey sat beside her.

Grey: "hey."
Arianne: "oh Grey, it's you."
Grey: "what's bothering you?"
Arianne: "I uhh... I'm chosen as the representative for our school.."
Grey: "for?"
Arianne: "for the Arts competition."
Grey: "wait, did you just say Arts competition? You're joining it?"
Arianne: "yeah.. why are you surprised?"
Grey: "heh.. this is kinda awkward... I'm talking with my opponent."
Arianne: "what are you talking about? Are you joining too?"
Grey: "great guess."
Arianne: "you're an artist too?"
Grey: "yeah.. it's not that I'm bragging but, I already have a lot of artwork displayed in my house."
Arianne: "woah! That's so cool."
Grey: "you... want to see them? We can eat lunch at my house."
Arianne: "u-uh.. I.. probably not. I still need to buy some food for Erick's lunch."
Grey: "geez.. why do you care so much about him? You're even the one providing his lunch, he can just buy on his own."
Arianne: *pissed* "so what if I care so much about him? Why does that irritates you?"
Grey: "u-u--"
Arianne: *turns her back on him* "nice talking with you. Now, I should be going."

Arianne left to buy some food, while Grey, who is pissed, is still sitting on the bench.

Grey: (Erick.. I fucking hate that guy.)
