A Year With Williams

Chapter 14 (Part 1)

Day 152 (part one)

I am in search of brown paint from past one hour. After Jacob spilled my brown paint that day, I forgot about getting a new one.

I tried mixing Red and Green to make brown. But the red is too.... red?

Does that make any sense?

Well anyways, it's coming out to be maroon or violet-ish.

And adding too much green makes it dark purple.

Long story short : I need brown color.

"Rachel,do you have brown color?"

"No."

I sigh and walk to Ramona who is currently painting the dragon. I was painting the window.

"Not even Rachel." I tell her.

She sighs too.

"Ask Mira." She suggests.

Great idea!

She had a box of paint yesterday, maybe she has today too!

I grin and literally run to Mira.

"Do you have brown paint, please tell me you do!" I ask in a rush.

"Sorry to break your heart, but no. Mine got finished."

My shoulders slumped in defeat.

"But...."

I look up to Mira, she looks hesitant.

"But what?" I ask. Hope shooting up my heart.

"I don't think you are going to ask the person, so let it be."

I sigh.

"Who?"

Don't say Megan. I hate any kind of interaction with her.

"Max...."

I take my words back. SAY MEGAN.

"Max as in Max Williams?" I ask to assure that I heard right.

She nods with a sad smile.

Noooooooooooo.

Tell me this is not true.

He can't do this to me!

He can't have the only brown paint!

Wait a second. Why am I being so dramatic? I just have to ask him for a goddarn paint.

Or better, I'll ask Ramona to ask him for the paint.

"Ok, thanks Mira." I say. She smiles and continues to make the chart she was making.

Now to Ramona.

"Hey, I need a favor."

"It depends on what you ask."

"Don't worry I don't want your kidney. "

She gives me a flat look and I giggle.

"Ok ok, so could you go to Max an..."

"No" she cuts me off.

"Hear me out....."

"No."

"But..."

"I said no."

"Bu...."

"N.O"

I give her the puppy dog face.
