Runaway

Chapter 10: Drawing

(The next day; Sunday) Benjamin's p.o.v

I put on a red tightish shirt with dark blue jeans, black converse, black snapback and drove to central park with my acoustic Guitar on my back. "hey! over here!" i heard Tyler yell waving his arms towards me with Tino and Julian. i jogged towards them and sat on the bench julian and Tyler were sitting on, Tino was standing throwing rocks at the lake. Tyler had canvas thingy build in front of him. Julian was just laid back relaxing

"Hey guys" i greeted.

"sup!" they all greeted

"why do you have this in front of you?" I asked Tyler seeing some tiny drops of paint on a board on his lap.

"i usually come here and sell my paintings, people ask to paint them and i do it" he explained

"Aren't you rich?"

"its nice to make my own money once in a while" he smiled. understandable. i took out my guitar and placed it on my lap.

"thats beautiful" Tino smiled looking at its light brown color.

"thanks, it was a gift from my brother before he left to New York" i smiled looking down on its shiny wood.

"thats nice" Tyler smiled.

"Hi...um...can i get a painting...?" a girl with dark brown eyes, dark olive skin,and a bright smile asked shyly,she had a hipster/rock style. she looked out our age.

"of course! what would you like?" Tyler asked excited. she looked down shyly.

"um...him...next to the lake..." she barley pointed at Tino looking at the lake. i see where this is going. tyler chuckled

"alright then. let me work my magic" Tyler got up and observed the few where Tino was at and sat back down. "it should be ready in 30 minutes" he explained. she nodded shyly and ran off

"awe, she likes him!" Julian whispered. "looks like we gotta set them up" i laughed. "what are you talking about?" Tino asked walking towards us. we jumped.

"oh hey! Tino! i need you to do me a favor!" Julian grinned. Tino raised his brows

"what?" he asked suspiciously.

"theres a hotdog stand that i love a lot! but i hurt my foot, you didn't notice because i got here before you and was sitting here ever since, anyways, can you please get me one? its on the other the park" he begged.

"the fuck? no! that'll take me a 15 minute walk and back!" Tino complained

"please!!!! i don't care if it gets cold! i owe you one!" he begged more handing him some money. he rolled his eyes snatching the money

"you owe me five! since it almost five blocks away" he walked away pissed.

"awe, he loves me!" Julian touched his cheeks faking

"Thats great julian, but how is Tyler going to paint him and the lake together?" i asked laughing

"don't worry about that! Tyler is gifted. he has a photographic memory" he explained leaning on his knees

"Really?" i asked Tyler. He nodded dipping his paint brush in some blue and white and started to paint. i took off my snapback and placed it on the floor. and strummed on my guitars strings. today was a relaxing day.

After i got like $30 from some giggling girls.i stopped playing and noticed Tyler's backpack was open next to his feet. I took a random thickish sketch book out "can i see this?" i asked. he looked at it and turned back to his almost completed painting nodding. i turned to the first page
