Inhuman

Chapter 14

First Emma came, then Sally came with Ryan and Kevin came rushing in a few minutes after we had decided at lunch.

"Am. I. Late?" Kevin asked in between gasps of breath.

"Nope, but any later and we would have left you." I said playfully, nudging Kevin's shoulder gently.

"Kay. So what are we doing?" Ryan asked once we had all settled onto my couch.

"What's the plan?" I asked, turning to Emma.

"We need to paint the outside of the school." Emma said.

"Just paint? No. Then we would be doing them a favor." Kevin laughed turning to look at me.

I forgot to mention something about Kevin, he had always had a huge crush on me.

"Yeah, let's graffiti a whole wall!" I perked up and jumped off the seat.

"Sounds fun. I have art supplies, I acually have my stuff in my car." Ryan said, jumping up also.

"Then lets do it!" Emma said joining our stand up circle.

"Let's go." Ryan reached down and helped Sally up and I helped up Kevin.

"I'll drive." I offered grabbing my keys.

"Can we all fit?" Kevin asked nervously.

"Of course. I've got 5 seats." I said happily.

My friends piled in and I flung myself into the drivers seat. My phone dinged and I looked down at the message.

"Hey, can we talk?" Keghan's text read.

I ignored it and started my car. "Ready?" I turned to look at my assembled friends.

I got a chorus of yeah's in response.

We unloaded the art supplies and distributed them equally. Kevin tagged along with me.

Sally with Emma and Ryan by himself.

"Now guys, nothing that will give us away." I told them before we broke off and went different ways.

I picked a spot in the exact middle and began my painting. I had no idea what I was doing but I was painting.

An hour later I looked at my work. I stepped back and just admired for a minute.

I had painted a set of eyes, blue with flecks of silver in their depths. The eyes were expressive and deep, even in a painting. The eyes saw into my soul and I just wanted to stand there and just look at my painting forever. I took a quick picture and then put my phone away. I tucked both my hands in my back pocket and looked at the swirling colors of my art.

"Damn Kens." Kevin walked up behind me. "When did you get good at art?" I punched him in the arm.

Kevin had draw a forest light shining through the tree tops. "This is beautiful Kev." I said admiringly.

"I think we won best pictures." Kevin said jokingly, touching my shoulder.

"Totally." I said, looking over at Kevin behind me.

My phone buzzed again and I pulled it out of my back pocket to check it.

"Who is it?" Kevin asked, reaching around me to grab it. "Oooh! Keghan's calling!" Kevin said over dramatically, clutching his chest. "Shall I answer it?" He asked dangerously, backing away from me.

"No. Don't. Don't you dare answer it!" I grabbed for my phone but he ducked quickly.

"I think I'll answer it." Kevin decided. "Hello? Kensley's phone speaking." Kevin answered my phone.
