A Year With Williams

Chapter 16

Day 167

The week has been hectic. After that Ace incident comments like "don't be a drama queen", "it's not that big deal." are everywhere.

People are afraid to talk to me because they think I will break down again, so they talk about me on my back.

Katie, being an amazing person hasn't left my side. Ramona and I are close, she doesn't know what happened and Sam, well she hates me.

Sid and Bob are now my close friends. Brothers to be exact. Mira and I are friends too, or that's what I think we are.

Bob confessed to have a crush on the new girl, Jane.

She is from Russia and she is extremely pretty with green eyes and brown hair. I really like her and we are kind of friends now.

"Emmy, will you and Ramona do the Hindi chart?" Alexander asks.

I nod.

"And finish painting the dragon too." Ray says.

"And Ramona we have a little work in math chart too, I am sure Emmy can help." Adam says.

"The window is still pending." Rachel pipes in.

"And we want to put up stalls." Meghan sighs.

I sigh too.

"Let's get started then."

~~~

A little bit of red and white for the leaves and brown for the branch.

Which reminds me, I have to return Max his paint.

A little dab of green here..... And done.

I watch my work and mentally pat myself on the back for the amazing work.

I just finished painting the window. I painted a Chinese house surrounded by water along with those pinkish trees around it.

Or at least that's what is looks like.

It took me half a day to do this. It is lunch already and the dragon and Hindi chart is still pending.

Oh and not to forget, the math chart too!

I sigh.

This is too much work. The parents are coming in a week to see this. Even if the school has allowed the whole day to do our work, it is difficult.

To the dragon now.

I do the dragon mostly when there are no or less people in class and lunch is the best time.

"Are you coming or not?" Katie asks.

"I can't.... sorry, you go. I'll catch you later."

"Why?" She whines.

"I have a lot of work, Don't bother."

She sighs.

"Ok, but please eat something."

"I'll try."

She gives me 'the look'. The one which says 'I better or she'll cut open my stomach, stuff food on it and then stitch it back up.'

I purse my lips and raise my hands in surrender.

She walks away, satisfied.

I sigh. I want to finish my work before ADDM. I am in a desperate need of playing guitar.

It always makes up for everything wrong in my day. It's calming and gives a weird ease.

I take the yellow paint and red paint and start making different shades of orange. I need to paint the fire.
