Blinded By Love

SEVEN

"So, what I want ya'll to do is, create magic.", Mrs. Johnson emphasised on 'create magic' like she wanted us to call fairies down on the Earth and make them show us their super powers.

"Draw something that inspires you. It can be a person, animal or whatever you want. But it shouldn't be, um, just a picture. It should force me to say 'That's what I've been looking for.' It shouldn't look nice, it should look like art and art isn't supposed to look nice, it's supposed to make you feel something. Make me feel that 'something'.", she said this and we all laughed.

"Clear? Now class, start your work. Ya'll have thirty minutes."

I obviously knew what I was going to make. But the thing was, I had made Zayn's portraits and stuff so many times that I didn't know how would this one look different.

Think, Diana, think.
Um, let's just splash all the colours on this sheet and let Zayn appear outta all these colours like magic, I thought.

I didn't know how I was going to do whatever I thought but this was the only thing that I had never tried and I had always been wanting to. Also, this indeed was different.

Maybe, this'll make Mrs Johnson say 'Oh yes, this is what I've been looking for.' I said to myself and started working.

I took the paints and started spreading them on the sheets. Green, yellow, blue-ah my favourite, blue. Black, white...

Suddenly, I felt someone staring at my sheet. I turned around and saw Mrs. Johnson standing and looking at my sheet in annoyance.

"God, Diana! What in the world has happened to ya?" she had a very weird accent so it came out like, 'Gawwh Dee-aana, woh in daa whurrled huss huppened to ya?'

"Um? What do you mean?" I muttered.
"You're not a five year old who doesn't know anything except mixing all the colours. Huh. Disappointing."

Oh God! The whole class was staring at me and I felt like I had been slapped in front of a hundred people for no reason! This was obnoxious!
I wanted to flatten myself on the floor and crawl away. I wanted to pretend that the room was full of smoke.

Mrs. Johnson shook her head and walked away. Crap.

Anyway, I wanted to show her that I'm not a five year old who knows nothing except mixing all the colours, so I kept on doing whatever I was.

I mixed the colours with my fingers and soon, there was a heart-stirring face on my sheet. He had two big and flawless eyes, thick eyelashes, a spine-tingling nose and hair to die for.

The face looked breathtaking. Zayn.
He looked like the person in the Greek mythology who makes one of the Gods stop caring about being a God.

I gave a final touch to the portrait.
Okay, so it did look like art. It made me feel something. And, not just 'something', it made me feel everything.
Well Diana, it makes you feel something because it's Zayn. I chuckled at the thought.

"Oh my God, Dee! It's, it's um, I'm short of words! It makes me feel something!" Peter, the guy who sat behind me, said excitedly.
"Uh, thank you." I smiled shyly.

A five year old is coming, Johnson. Be ready to shut that hole in your face. I smirked.

"Class, time's up. I'm coming to see what ya'll have made." she said.

She roamed around in the whole class, passing comments to everyone. Until now, only April- a girl who had drawn Charlize Theron was able to please Mrs. Johnson.

"You needa work hard, Will." she said to the guy in front of me. He had made a portrait of Adriana Lima- the Victoria's Secret model. Mm, she's stunning. I thought.

"Good gracious, Diana!" Dee-aana.
"I'm sorry, kiddo for being judgemental. But, this is what I've been looking for! Wow." she said.

Yaay! Whoa. "Yeah, thanks." I made aware and she went to the next person.

***
"Wow, Dee. This is incredible." mom said while hugging me.

"I know, right!? Now, I'm gonna frame this and put it on my wall like my other portraits".

"Okay. But first, have your lunch."
