Chapter 21

Kortnii's POV

"Engage the energy, light up the effigy!" I screamed, listening to my iPod. I was outside with Vince and Aiden, waiting on my slow parents. They were really taking their sweet fucking time. "We're here and you can stop screaming!" My mom said. I smiled and put away my iPod. Thank god, I thought.

I got into Frank's truck and sat in the middle between, Vince and Aiden. I was getting squeezed to death but luckily the school wasn't so far away. "So what's your art piece?" My mom asked, turning to me. "You will see when we get there. It's a surprise!" I smiled wide, I knew they wouldn't like it but it's the theme.

"Well I hope it’s not full of blood and gore" my mom said with a disgusted face. "Don't get your hopes too high"; Aiden muttered. I slapped him on the arm."Ow!" He said, rubbing it. I mouthed the words "Shut up!" and took out my iPod.

"Hey Vince" I asked "When did you meet Destery?" He took an ear bud out and replied, "I was walking around going to this place and I spotted him and Nathan and I just started talking to him"! I glared at him playfully, “I hate you! That is not fair I wanna meet him!"Vince rolled his eyes, "Well if you would get out of the house more often.”

I turned away from him laughing, I was super jealous. Yeah I know I met My Chemical Romance but so did he! Plus he lives right next door, if he wants to borrow my Jaguar or play with Natasha he is more than welcome to!

"We are here!" Frank said, parking near the front doors of the high school. I hopped out of the car and ran to the front. "God Kortnii, slow down" Aiden said. I laughed and pulled everyone inside. I went up to the front desk and said, "Kortnii Akin, I'm one of the artists" The lady smiled and handed me my art pass.

I laughed at Frank and them; it sucks because they have to pay! "Kortnii?" Miss Walker said, walking up to me. "Hey Miss W." I responded. "Is this your family?" She asked. I nodded, "Yep and then there's Vince over here." She pulled me by the hand, "Everyone follow me!"

We walked into the cafeteria, but it didn't look like it. The walls were covered by black paper and art pieces were lined up everywhere. The windows and doors were plastered with posters and flyers. "There are some snacks and drinks over there at the table for free." I hope you like our art exhibit." Miss Walker said cheerfully as she left to assist other people.

"There is some really nice art here" My mom said. "Let's go look at yours." We walked around the school, stopping every once and a while to look at the pieces. Some were better than mine! My mom tried to take pictures but we weren't allowed too. "Mom put that away you'll get in trouble!" I whispered.

She groaned and put it away. We finally made it to the end of the exhibit where Scarlett's and mine were. "Here is Scarlett's" I said, pointing to the mermaid. "Dude it looks even better after she finished it!"  Vince said. I nodded, "This is mine!" I pointed to my beautiful painting.

"Oh god," My mom said. I laughed at her face; it was a mixture of awe, disgust, and something else. I couldn't tell. "Awesome!"  Vince and Aiden said in unison. Frank patted me on the back, "Really nice picture what is it about?" Well,” I began. "It's the anime version of Romeo and Juliet. As you can see this Romeo character is dead with wounds from a knife. Blood is pouring everywhere and Juliet found =d him dead. She took out the knife and put it against her throat because she can't bear to live without him."  

"Oh, what are the symbols?" Frank asked, rubbing his chin. "They mean Death, Defeat, and sadness." "Interesting" He replied. We went back into the cafeteria and got some snacks. Miss Walker stepped up on stage and grabbed a microphone. "I hope you all enjoyed this event. I want to say thank you to all the artists who were willing to put up their art and to the friends and family who have came to support this event. If you are a student here and are interested in being in the art exhibit please come to my room. Have a great night!"
