Just Smile

Chapter Four

  Finally, it's done. I have completed a master piece. God, I hope Callie likes it. Alice thought after finishing the portrait. After a while if staring at the portrait and making perfections, she put the portrait in her binder carefully and drifted off to sleep.

   As soon as the bus got to Alice's stop, she run in and plopped down next to me and started hugging me while smiling like a complete idiot. The others just looked at her in complete shock, there eyes wide open. I started laughing uncontrollably at it. Alice looked at the others and laughed too. Then after they turned around and the bus began driving again, she pulled out a paper from her green binder and held it to her heart, the picture facing towards her. "What's that?" I asked. "Shh. Let me talk first!" She said quite loudly. A few people turned to look then quickly turned away. "Remember yesterday when I was following and staring at you the whole day? Yeah, well. This is why." She put the drawing on my lap. It was a portrait of my face. She made more pretty than I actually am but still. I could tell it was me. It was amazing how someone could just by memory draw something like this. "Wow" was all I could say. "Do you like it? I even signed the back of it." She said. I nodded, still looking at the picture. I looked up at her and with no emotion in my face said "I suppose I have to draw one of you now." Alice's eye went wide and I began to laugh. "I'm joking. I'm joking" I said but, I wasn't joking.

   When I got home I did my homework, got a snack and begun on the drawing of Alice. My hand ached when I was done but I didn't care. I couldn't stop smiling or thinking about what her reaction would be. Then unexpectedly, I remembered her kissing me. I blushed pretty badly because my face, ears, and neck felt really warm. Then I realized it, I was in love with Alice Sparrow.
