maybe you were right

Feliciana was working in her sketchbook during art class. She pressed lightly onto her paper with a finely sharpened charcoal pencil, adding shade to a sketch of a man with long hair tied into a braid, flowers woven in with it. Before she blended the charcoal, she looked over at Sakura's sketchbook next to hers. Sakura's way of drawing was more stylized than Feli's, people drawn with exaggerated proportions, simple shading, and far less detail. Even still, Feli thought Sakura was an amazing artist. She was drawing three women holding hands. They all looked pretty content and happy to be there next to each other.

"Are they dating?" Feli wrote on the corner of the page Saki was drawing on. Sakura looked up at her and smiled. "Well that isn't what I was thinking, but they could be." She wrote back. "I think they look really nice together" Feli replied. Sakura just smiled at her and got back to work. Feliciana promptly got to blending her shading in, but her eyes couldn't help darting to Saki every now and again. She looked so focused when she was working on something, but when it was art, she also looked so happy. There was this gleam of joy and determination in her deep brown, nearly black eyes. On harder parts of the drawing, she'd stick out her tongue sometimes. Feli thought that was a pretty cute thing that Saki did. Oh, and nothing matched Sakura's smile when she was proud of her work. She always looked so happy, so accomplished. Feli loved that smile.

Just then, the bell rang. Feli shook her head and looked down at her sketchbook. Had she just been thinking about Saki that entire time? The drawing wasn't close to done. "Feli! You have to get to maths! Come on!" Sakura said. "Oh!" Feli stood up, stuffing her sketchbook into her backpack. "Alright, let's go!"

Feli was oddly silent during their walk to their respective classes. The only time she spoke, in fact, was when Sakura had to go off the ELA. All Feli could think about right then was the way she was thinking about her friend only a few minutes prior. Maybe her sib had been right. Maybe she did like Saki that way, she just hadn't thought about it. Now that she did, she definitely didn't mind the idea of having walked out of art class holding hands.

Maybe she was jealous of Louise. Maybe the reason she'd started acting like Sakura was to make Sakura  like her. 

She walked into maths with that thought in her mind, taking her usual seat beside Louise. "Hey Feliciana!" Feli snapped into reality and looked at Louise. She did that little half-smile she'd do sometimes, causing one of her husky-blue eyes to scrunch up a little. Feli felt a pink come to her cheeks whenever she did that face.

Then Feli was confused.
