[DISCONTINUED] Definition Of Love

Chapter 3- Definition Of Art Class

*Aiko's POV*

I talked with the group of guys for a while until next class. When we heard the bell we hurried off to the next class. While we walked down the hall Wakasa asked "what class do we have?"
"I think we have art." I replied and we walked into class.

"We still have a few minutes before the teacher gets here." I said and Aoi sat on his desk. "Before we start class, what kind of stuff do we do in art?"
"We basically get to draw whatever we want. I get the feeling that the teacher really doesn't care."
"Our last school was really strict with what we do."
"For art?"

Ichika interrupted. "It was bad! We would get yelled at if the slightest detail was off!"
"Geez! Well you don't have to worry about that here. You just have to draw something." I explained. "How long have you lived here?" Soji asked. "Me? I've lived here my whole life." I said plainly. "You haven't moved once!?" Ichika yelled and Soji smacked him with a book again.

"Inside voice." Soji said putting a finger over his lips, telling him to be quiet. Ichika pouted holding his head. "Ichika, you've been hit by 3 books and it's only the second class." I pointed out. "Don't remind me...!" He said and I laughed.

"Take your seats." The teacher said when he entered the room. Everyone ran to their seats and the teacher nodded. "Today we will be drawing... Things we like. You may get into groups of 10 or less." He said and then put a stack of paper on an empty desk. Everyone got up and grabbed a piece of paper then got into groups. Wakasa walked over to me laughing. "You weren't kidding. It really doesn't seem like he cares."

Natsume, Aoi, Ichika and Soji all come over and we push together 6 desks. Everyone wasted no time with drawing what they liked. Aoi peeked over at my paper and asked "what are you drawing?" I smiled and said "sweets! What about you?"
"I'm going to draw hair."
"Hair?"
"Yeah. Can you turn around so I can draw your hair?"
"Okay." I said and turned the opposite way from him. I looked over at Soji's drawing as he silently sketched out a pillow. After he drew it, he put his head down on the paper.

I turn to look at Aoi. "Um... Soji is--" I got half through my sentence before I heard snoring coming from Soji. Aoi sighed "now that he's asleep I doubt he will wake up till class is over."
"Really...?" I turn back around and look at everyone else sketching.

Maybe Wakasa is drawing something normal? I thought to myself and he noticed me trying to look over at his paper. "Would you like to see?" He asked and I nodded. He smiled and turned his paper around and pushed it towards me. I look down at it and-- "Needles?"
"I love needles."
"O-oh! Yeah they are pretty cool I guess...!"

Wakasa smiled and went back to drawing needles. I sigh and look over at Natsume that looks bored. "What are you drawing Natsume?" I ask and he shows me a blank page. "I like books but that's boring to draw." He said crossing his arms. "Why don't you draw an open book with words in them?"

As soon as I finished my sentence, Natsume picked up his pencil and started drawing the open book. I heard him mutter while he was drawing "I love writing..." I laugh and Ichika jumps out of his seat. "Want to see mine!?" I nodded with a smile. He pushed his paper over in a hurry and I picked it up. There were 9 stick figures that had names written under them. There was Ichika, Soji, Sion, Wakasa, Aoi, me, Natsume, Hotaka and--

"Ichika, who's this?" I ask pointing out a stick figure. "That's a friend! He goes to this school too! I'm not sure what class Kinshiro is in tho..." He muttered at the end with his hand on his chin, as if in deep thought. Aoi started to converse in our conversation. "You will probably meet Kin today sometime. Most likely at lunch break."
"I see!" I said and looked at Aoi's paper. He drew my hair with exclusive detail.

He's pretty good at drawing hair! I thought to myself and continued drawing candy and other sweet things. While I was drawing I heard lots of mumbling.

"Needles... I love needles..." From Wakasa.

"Should I write a poem...? Maybe just a story... How many open books should I draw...?" From Natsume.

"ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz..." From Soji.

"Should I add a hairpin...? What type of design...? I need something that goes with her hair..." From Aoi.

"Friendship... YAY!" From Ichika.

I just laughed listening to everyone and finished drawing. When the bell rang, Soji sat up as if he was awake the whole time. The only thing was, the paper was stuck to his forehead.

Aoi walked up to him and said "you got something on your face."
"Oh..." Soji muttered and went to take the paper off when Ichika yelled "wait! Don't take it off!" He ran over with a marker and drew a big smiley face on it. "There!" He said pleased but Natsume walked over and ripped it off his face. Ichika pouted.

"So childish..." Natsume muttered and started to leave the room. "I can hear you!" Ichika yelled running after Natsume.

What a strange group of friends...
