Forever

Art

School went slow but during lunch went faster. Elijah was close to me. I felt it more than I should have. I liked it more than I should have. I am not even mature yet and I feel it. I'm not old enough yet. This- the bell rang. I had art. I was the only student in art class that didn't have a partner. I walked to class and I started drawing on the canvas I had yesterday. I drew Me and Augustus. Angelo didn't like when I drew him. So I quit drawing him a long time ago. "Mr. Westphalt what can I do for you?" Mr. Jacobs asked.

"I got transferred to this c-class." he said. I looked up and he was looking straight at me. I looked down quickly and kept drawing.

"Well you can join Miss Althea there and get a canvas and start drawing." Mr. Jacobs said. I finished Augustus and went on to drawing the background. We were running in the woods. Just like the day before-

"Hi Clara." Elijah said sitting next to me. Fuck how am I going to concentrate? "I don't know you tell me." he smirked. I said that aloud.... dammit. I kept drawing. He was watching me draw.

"Don't you have your own drawing to be working on?" I asked.

"Yeah but I don't know where anything is." he said.

"That drawer has the pencils..." I explained where everything is and he went and got a pencil and a sheet of paper. He took glances at me but I didn't want to look at what he was drawing. The bell rang just as I finished. I showed Mr. Jacobs the canvas and he nodded.

"Well done, Miss Althea." he said. "You should join art club. They do all sorts of art like dance, drawing, and singing." he said. I nodded.

"I'll think about it." I said. I went to my locker and Angelo found me there.

"Ooh whats this?" he asked taking the canvas out of my hands. It fell into a puddle of water, from a drinking fountain, faced down. "Oh my god I am so-"

"Don't." I said. I picked it up and it was ruined. You could still see the drawing but it had black marks from water running down it. I left it there and walked away.

Elijah's POV

I saw Angelo drop her drawing in water. She looked at it and left it there and walked away. I went over and picked it up. I went to the bathroom and dried it off. I tried to fix it and it ended up looking pretty cool. I missed an entire period of class but I fixed it. I went over to Clara's locker when she was there. "Hey Clara I found this right there." I said handing her the canvas. "And it was ruined so I tried to-"

"Thanks. But you can keep it." She said.

"Thanks." I said. "So will you guys be coming out again?"

"I doubt I'll be let out of the house." she said smiling at me. She had the best smile in the entire world. I wanted her so bad. She won't feel the way I do till she turns sixteen next week. August 18th. Unless she can feel it...

"Here is my number if you are or aren't let out of your house." I said handing her a piece of paper with my number on it. She put it in her pocket and smiled.

"Alright." she said.

"Whats your next class?" I asked.

"Study hall." she said.

"Senior perks. I don't have anything." I said.

"Lucky." she said.

"I can stay if you want someone to talk to." I offered.

"I'm fine thanks for the offer" she said.

"You sure?"

"Never" she smiled.

"Your too cute." I said. Did I seriously say that? She blushed. Oh my god I am so fucking turned on now. I love her when she blushes, and smiles, and talks..

"You should kiss her." Morgan said in my head.

"Shut up." I said in my head.

"Nah I am good." she said.

"You are so lucky I am with Clara."

"Why cause you'll go all Alpha on me?" I smiled at her thought.

"Talking to Morgan?" Clara asked.

"Yeah she is quite a handful in here." I said pointing to my head.
