Get up ... get up ..." I heard my mother's voice. "Just five minutes," I muttered into my pillow and turned around again. I heard my mother groan and leave my room. Slowly I drifted back into my dream world, when I heard it scream from below: "Persephone Violette Donovan, if you do not get up immediately you can forget the party tonight!". Groaning, I fought myself out of my blanket and walk tiredly into the bathroom. As soon as my mother used my full name (Yes, I really mean it) she was really angry, and then you should rather do what she expected from one. I looked into the mirror and sighed once more. My hair stood in all directions and a tired face looked at me from the mirror. "Persephone, I'm not repeating again!" I heard my mother from below and hurried with makeup, smooth hair and put my clothes on. In my favorite jeans, a turquoise blouse and my black leather jacket, I ran downstairs, gave my mother a kiss, put on my black ankle boots, and I was out of the door.
I had not yet gotten far, when suddenly my best friend Andrew jumped behind a hedge. Of course I pretended to be frightened to death, that was our morning welcome ritual. He hugged me and we went to school in arm in arm. "Phe, Phe, Phe," Andrew murmured to himself and I had to smile because he used my nickname. He was the one who had missed this nickname in the fifth grade, and since then, except for my parents and teachers, I've been so called by everyone. "Are you ready?" He asked me, I frowned, wondering what he meant. "To bear me all day," he replied, grinning, and I smacked him against the shoulder. Usually we had only one or two courses a day, but on Fridays we had the complete six lessons together. In the meantime, we were close to our school and the students were pouring from all sides.The St. Anthony, was one of the few private schools in our town and, of course, here were all small geniuses, oh and me. I was only here because of my parents, who, like you could get, are professors of Greek mythology and of course to send their youngest daughter to the same school as their two brothers. That I had nothing to look for here, did not matter. While I pondered my thoughts, I had not even noticed that we were already at school and Andrew looked at me expectantly. "What?" I asked him. A smile appeared on his face and his gaze wandered to the lockers next to me. I turned my head and Oh, yes that was mine. Quickly I opened the locker, put my bag inside and took out the books for the next hour.
Then I followed Andrew to our classroom when I was embraced suddenly. My best friend June could be compared with a fluffy, a loving flip, twisted and totally slammed. We were friends since the first class and that complete opposite of each other. While I was rather shy and reserved and hardly anyone noticed me, my red-haired best friend was someone who knew half the school. "Are you looking forward to tonight?" She asked, and I was afraid that she would start jumping up and down as enthusiastically as she looked. Andrew grinned happily, took her hand and pulled her into his arms to give her a kiss. The two had been a pair since the first day of the fifth grade, love at first sight bla, bla, bla. I shook my head lightly and squeezed past the two into the classroom to put me in my place. Shortly afterwards, the two of them sat down in front of me and turned around so that we could talk to each other before Mister Stevens would start the lesson. "What are you going to wear tonight?" June asked me, looking at me with her green eyes. "I have no idea. I try to find something later in the chaos that my wardrobe calls that is halfway acceptable, "I replied sighing. June and Andrew then threw me a look alá is your seriousness and shook only the head. Both knew that my wardrobe contained everything a girl could wish for and the probability that I would find nothing in it, almost went to zero.
A loud bang made me shrug. Mister Stevens seemed to have dropped a book on the table to draw attention to him. "So, as I now have her undivided attention, we go on to where we last stopped, in Greek mythology." I groaned softly and stopped listening from the first sentence, which Mr. Stevens said. "Persephone Donovan, would you answer my question," I heard Mister Stevens say. Damn, I had no idea what he wanted from me. "Excuse me, how was the question again?" I asked with my dearest smile. He looked at me slightly annoyed and sighed as the door opened. A boy with deep pants and a white open shirt came in. "Ah, Liam Cole, nice that you decided to show up," Mister Stevens greeted him, then he turned to us, "Liam will go with you this class from now on and hope to do more than in the year before. Sit down Liam. " "Thank you for this warm welcome," Liam said sarcastically as he walked through the ranks. At my table he stopped, pointed to the square next to me and asked, "Is he free here?". "No, there's my invisible buddy, James, say hello James." I replied, biting my tongue quickly when I realized what I had just given against the Starquaterback of our school. "Well, then James must be gone from this place," Liam replied, and sat with a smile on the chair. Mister Stevens continued with his lessons as I scribbled my block and listened more or less.When it finally rang to the break, I packed my things and went to June and Andrew, together we went on our way to the locks stashed our things and ran to the Kunstraum. Art was one of the few courses that I loved about everything and in which I even had something on it. I sat down at my usual place and spread out my characters as someone sat down beside me on the chair. I looked up and saw Liam's grinning face. "Looks like James can not sit next to you." I probably looked at him just like a cow when thundering, because his grin just broadened. "I know I know little. I'm incredibly hot, but you do not need to stare at me. " He leaned back, self-satisfied, apparently expecting a reaction from me. I raised my eyebrow and just said, "My name is Phe." Then I turned to look at Miss Black, our art teacher, waiting for the beginning of the lesson. While Miss Black gave a few words of welcome and explained our present task, I felt that Liam was looking at me all the time. So I turned to him and looked at him questioningly. "What man is Phe? This is not your real name, is it? "He asked me, looking skeptical at me. "All call me Phe, but if you prefer Persephone, you can call me like that," I replied with a slightly snappy undertone.
I turned back to Miss Black, who at that moment said with a smile, "I want you to draw a portrait of your seat neighbor with charcoal today." As she spoke I could feel his stupid grin clearly. "So Phe, you're so lucky to perpetuate my good-looking ego for posterity." I heard him say, but instead of going into it, I grabbed my drawing block, the carbonsticks and turned to see him well . "Mouth shut, and sit quietly." I pointed at him, looking into his bewildered face. Involuntarily, a smile crept on my face and obviously I stuck it with it. He pretended to salute and he laughed, "Yes, Mam!". As soon as I had made the first stroke I was in my world. I drew something here, blurred, trying to capture his expression of face and the glow of his eyes. When I was finally happy and looked at it with little pride, I noticed the Miss Black standing next to me. "Very good Persephone, you have talent. Now you're off to Liam, draw on it. "She said to us before she disappeared again. I grinned at Liam and leaned back slightly when he started drawing. While he was drawing me, I watched him and had to admit he looked damn good. The combination of black hair and blue eyes, which looked as if they could never be serious, gave him something extraordinary. "So done!" He said, starting to frighten me out of my thoughts. Before he could show it to me, the bell rang for lunch, he grinned at me and left. A bit perplexed, I stood still in my place when I and June gave me a hand to understand that I should come. Sighing, I took my bag and followed them into the cafeteria.
