Chapter 5

I woke up to the warmth of my bed, my legs were spilled over the bed and I was breathing fast. It was not a nightmare though, it just creeped me out how I can't stop dreaming about this weird but wonderful creature. I sighed loudly and sluggishly got out of bed. I grabbed my blouse and trousers from off of the floor beside my bed and then got dressed, dumping my pyjamas on the floor.

I picked up my brush and tugged through my hair, jerking my head back slightly as the brush got snagged in bits of my hair. I walked out of my room and into my bathroom to clean my teeth.

I walked out of the bathroom with my mouth strongly smelling of mint, over powering my nose. I walked down my stairs and headed into the kitchen to pack my lunch. I made a quick marmite and butter sandwhich and threw some fruit into my clear plastic box. The strong smell of marmite lingered around the room. I picked up my lunch box and walked into the cupboard to get my bag. I put my lunch box into my ruck sack and hitched it onto my back. I wish the school day will go by quickly so I can see my brother again!

"See ya!" I called up the stairs to my dad. I locked the door behind me and quickly walked in the direction of school.

I walked into Art class and collapsed into my seat, slouching. Moments later Kyle walked in and sat beside me, he gave me a quick smile as he too slouched in his chair.

"Hey." He said quietly, I had to strain my eares to hear him over the loud talking between the students. I half smiled at him. "Hey."

 "We should be getting our paintings today." I informed him, not looking at him as I looked out my equipment.

 "Cool." Kyle said quietly. The class quietened down as Miss. Mala walked into the room. She was smiling, as usual.

 "Good morning class!" She said happily as she walked to the supply closet.

 "You will be given your paintings today. I have rolled them up so you can put them in your bags." She said, grabbing lots of rolled up paintings.

 "You all did marvelously!" She sang as she handed out the paintings.

 When mine was placed in front of me Miss. Mala smiled at me

 "Your Art is amazing, Jade. Keep up the good work!" She said enthusiastically. I smiled proudly. 

"You really are a great artist, you should sell your paintings or something." Kyle said enthusiastically. I smiled. 

"Thanks"

"OK, today we will be focusing on wildlife!" Miss. Mala said once she finished handing out the paintings.

I literally jumped for joy in my head, I was going to paint my wolf; no doubt about it! Miss. Mala demonstrated the different textures and blending techniques to the class, making sure everything was perfect.

"OK, class! Off you go." She said cheerily as she went to her desk to carry on with some work. I got out some paints and brushes and began my Art work.

At the end of the lesson I looked back at my painting, feeling proud at my acheivment. I painted my wolf standing tall on all four paws. He had a glint in his beautiful brown eyes and he had a thick black coat which was defined by my handiwork with a pencil, water and paint. When Kyle looked at my painting his eyes widened for a moment, like he was shocked I drew that creature.

"That's amazing!" He said truthfully. I blushed at how amazed he sounded.

"Thank you." I said happily. I looked at his messy painting. The browns weren't the right colour and the paint was going out of the lines but you could tell it was a rabbit.

"Nice rabbit." I said, trying mybest to sound enthusiastic. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Thanks." He said. I gigled quietly. The bell rang and everyone jumped up from their seats. I packed my stuff away as quick as possible so the day would go by quicker. I want to see my brother!

I literaly ran home after school. It was so great to see my brother again!

"Hey!" I shouted breathlessly as I walked into my house. I didn't walk with Kyle because he would of slowed me down.

I hurd murmers in the kitchen so I made my way there, kicking my shoes off to the side as I did. My dad had a dissopointed expression on his face, my brother sat next to him, his face had depression written all over it. They were both drinking tea, the steam was floating out of the mugs like ghosts. My excitement turned into worry.

"What's wrong?" I asked my brother. He gave me a half smile as I gave him a hug.

"Me and Josey... We have broken up and I have no where to stay." He said quietly. My heart stopped beating for a second. That Bitch! She knew Cory loved her to bits! I wanted to rip her hair out but right now I have to comfort my brother.

"I am so, so sorry to hear about that." I said quietly, taking the seat next to him. He looked me in the eyes and smiled, though I could still see the saddness in his.

.

"Well, I'm living here now until I find a new place. Looks like you're stuck with me." He joked. I gasped in mock horror and he laughed. It had been a while since I heard him laugh.

"You're in luck, I tidied your bedroom but don't expect to be your maid." I joked, punching his rock hard arm. He hugged me again.

"OK kids, what do ya want for dinner?" My dad asked. We both scoffed at him calling us kids. 

We both shrugged our shoulders and looked at dad hopefully. He sighed in defeat.

"I'll go order pizza." He stood up from his chair with his tea and made his way to the house phone. 

"So, what Have I missed since I've been away, sis?" Cory asked curiously. "Any nice boys I need to murder?" He joked. I rolled my eyes and left the kitchen. His laughing fading as I entered my room.

I shut my door and pulled out my sketch book from under my pillow. I flipped to a new page and grabbed a pencil from the pot. I knew exactly what I was going to draw. I started with the heart shape and then shaded half of it in. I added a few scars and cracks and holes. This one was for my brother, not that I was going to show him my pictures. I hated Josey right now but I had to be there for my brother.
