Colourise

Chapter 7

Credits to @abcdefgem for the awesome book covers she made for me~~

Anyway, I'm taking a break from writing Rymmie and Kemmie chapters, letting the other characters develop too! ^^

And of course, give you guys the suspense for the next chapter. ;)

June had just set up her last canvas on the wall when she heard someone call her name.

'Kevin!' she exclaimed. 'What are you doing here?'

Kevin shrugged. 'Just returning a favour for a friend who helped me.'

June raised an eyebrow. 'Let me guess. Jenna?'

Kevin grinned. June saw that his hair was shorter than usual, and he was smiling even more widely these days.

'Oh, I see,' June nodded. 'Thanks for helping me out!'

'So what do I do?'

June told him the agenda. Apparently, June was one of the talented artists selected by the college to present her works at the annual arts exhibition at the famous arts building at Anders Square, the grand central plaza at the centre of the town.

The exhibition lasts for two weeks, and every afternoon, she has to set up and replace her artworks based on the daily theme. This year's theme was 'Colours', and June spent the whole of last year and this year creating dozens of artworks linked to the theme.

She was glad that the theme was easy to begin with--her head overflowed with ideas whenever she thought about colours.

And partly, because it reminded her of Leon.

However, she wasn't alone at the exhibition. Student volunteers, as well as the public, can choose to help their chosen artists in handling various affairs such as publicity and booth management.

Jenna had promised her that she would ask the school for volunteers to support her work, and she fulfilled it by bringing several others besides Kevin.

'I already told you the committees,' June concluded,'so which one do you want to be in?'

'I think I'll be in the administrative committee.' Kevin replied. 'I can oversee the daily events and propose agendas for the next day.'

'Tsk,' June teased. 'Your science research programmes can totally help you with this.'

'What!' Kevin exclaimed. 'I like planning events, so I should be on the job.'

June sighed. 'Alright, I'll go ask someone in the admin committee to give you a small orientation.'

'You should head back to your station. I think the exhibition is going to start soon.' She nodded to him in approval, and he waved to her before turning around, out of the room and down the hallway.

June turned to the room--a wide artist room with whitewashed walls that was now filled with canvases, and large glass--panel windows that are almost as big as the wall facing her when she opened the door.

She tied her thick, curly hair back, so that the wind wouldn't get into her face, and she would look neater in her white long-sleeved button down blouse and black skinny jeans.

The room was getting more sunlight than it needed. The yellow rays hit the glass at different angles, and the seven colours spilled over and around the walls.

Often, she wondered why the windows were so big, like the wide, large glass panels she laid her hands on when she was trying to reach out to Leon on the opposite side, his hands in front of hers before someone slowly pulled him away to the train platform, to the crowd of people jostling their way through the trains.
