Bonjour! Mon nom est Maui. J'ai 20 ans et un étudiant en art. English you ask? Alright... Hello, my name is Maui. I'm an art student at École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. I live in a dorm with Jòhn Paul. I am 20 years old and also an art student. I'm shooting for my masters in sculpting. Now I've been here for about 3 months. Now Paris is nice and all but I don't get why it's called the "City of Love". I mean, there are a lot of girls at this school but, none of them sparked any interest for me.
So I'm heading to the painting and sketching when something or someone catches my eye. A girl who look about 19, was wondering around. A beautiful girl in fact. So I decide to walk up to her
"Bonjour madamoiselle." I say. She looks at me. Her eyes light up. She smiles.
"Great! Someone who can help me! Now how do you say can you help me find the painting and sketching room in French." She mumbles. I laugh and look at her.
"I speak perfect English you know." I say with a chuckle.
"Oh! Well that makes things so much easier than. I'm new here and I'm still getting used to the campus. Can you help me?" She asks.
"Sure but first, may I have your name?" I ask.
"Oh! I'm Moana." She says shyly as she sticks her hand out.
"I'm Maui." I say shaking her hand. She smiles. I smile back.
"Come on! Follow me. Painting and skecthing right?" I ask turning around.
"Y-yes! Thank you!" She stutters. I find it kinda cute.
"You're welcome princess." I say over my shoulder giving her a quick smile. She blushes and I chuckle to myself.
"So where you from?" I ask.
"Montanui." She says.
"Cool." I say. She rushes up to me is walking beside me instead of behind me.
"So Maui...how long have been here?" She asks me.
"Three months." I say.
"Where you from?" She asks.
"Oahu." I answer.
"Cool!" She says.
"You're full of questions." I say.
"Sorry." She says looking away ashamed.
"Don't be...I find it fun." I day casually.
"This is my last question, I promise." She says.
"Shoot." I say.
"Are you named after the demigod Maui?" She asks.
"I think so. My old man gave it to me and my mom went with it." I say. We walk in silence until we reach the class from.
"Ahh! Bonjour Madamoiselle and Monsier! Please take a seat and get started." Said Madame Shallene. She is short woman with long blonde hair and always very happy. I like her. As I sit down I noticed Moana growing uneasy. I smile as I get up and take her hand gently. I lead her to my table and she smiled.
"Thanks." She said flushing red. I chuckle and smile at her.
"Nothing to it." I say.
"Alright!" Madam says. "I want a landscape made! Nothing to fancy or hard, just a landscape. And please nothing sloppy! Make it nice." She said as she clapped her hands once and sat back at her desk. I hear a few other guys groan. I chuckle and Moana has a look that is like she lost her puppy.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"I-I don't know where anything is." I smile.
"Sketch books are over in the right corner and paints, color pencils, and markers are over there next to the books." I say as I dig through my backpack. She smiles and grabs a book. Then she rushes back bringing many shades of reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and white color pencils. I cock a brow but shrug as I get to work.
6 HoursLater...
I peak over at Moana and my jaw drops to the floor. She is finishing shading the last color of here picture. She drew a perfect sunset over a ocean. She notices my gaping.
"Is it that bad?" She asks.
"What?! No! This, this is amazing! May I?" I ask. She hands it over. I study the details very closely. Its beautiful. A real piece of art.

"You should show Madame." I say handing her drawing back.
"You really think so?" She asks hesitently.
"Yes! Its amazing!" I say. She gets up and walks over to Madame. I notice how the Madame smiled. I see Moana beam at the complement. Then she rushes over to me.
