Chapter Fifteen

Enny left by 8:43 for the airport and she got on the plane on time.

The next day, Enny had already settled down in her suit in the hotel that was already paid for them.

When everyone had arrived and were shown to their suit, Mr. Whitespoon called them all down to the lobby and started,

          “Welcome back contestants, now we are down to 15 of you. This part of the challenge will be a lot longer and we are going to have only one winner. First things first. Go back to your suits, rest for tonight and then after breakfast tomorrow we start.”

All the 15 contestants went up to their suits and slept for the night.

Enny called home and talked to Sasha. She asked about Adam again and this time, Adam had gone on a summer camp with Hilary and some other friends. Enny talked to BJ too but hasn’t heard from Keith ever since school ended.

          “Good morning contestants, now here is your full information.  Every summer, France holds their largest art gallery exhibition. Luckily for you all, you get to organize some part of the exhibition; the art part. It’s all up to you contestants to organize. By that I mean you have to create art, any kind of art. Make it original and interesting. Up to seven hundred people will view these arts during the exhibition and the contestant with the most positive reviews online will win the contest. The exhibition is in 21 days and so you have to have 5 art projects completed by that day and they must have being submitted to us. Any questions?” Mr. Whitespoon talked to the contestants.

          “How do people give us reviews online?” Zoe asked.

          “Good question, there will be QR codes placed for every single art work and the people simply scan the code on the art they want to review and it takes them to a website and they write you a review for the art. Every one of you will have your own website where you can view your reviews and know how well or bad your arts are doing. Anymore questions?” Mr. Whitespoon replied Zoe and looked around for more hands that were up if there were any.

          “I guess we are all clear with what to do then, so you may begin. If you need supplies and we can help please ask us and Good luck.” Mr. Whitespoon added and sent them off to begin the challenge.

          “Hey Enny!” Jamie walked up to her.

          “Hey Jamie!” Enny replied and turned to face him.

          “Happy to see you again.” Jamie started.

          “You too.” She replied. “I’m a bit nervous and I don’t have any ideas coming for me. Normally I should have some but I am blank. Page blank.”

          “Common Enny, You just need a little inspiration.” Jamie said. “Let’s go for some site seeing and maybe we can see what’s around France and get inspiration.”

This is supposed to be an individual project but it seemed that Enny and Jamie could work together.

          “Okay. Where do you have in mind?” Enny asked him.

          “Come with me.” Jamie grabbed Enny’s hand and led her. “I’ve come here with my dad last summer for last year’s exhibition and that’s what inspired me to join the contest this year. Maybe you will be inspired like I was.”

Enny smiled.

          “Whoa, look at all those art works. I’ve never seen anything like them.” Enny opened her mouth out of surprise.

          “I love that one.” Jamie pointed to a painting. “It reminds me of my family and my friends.

Enny looked at Jamie and smiled but Jamie was looking at the painting.

          “That’s really good.” Enny commented.

They both looked at more paintings and headed back to their hotel and started brain storming ideas.

 

-Knock Knock-

          “Hello Enny. Come in.” Jamie said and opened the door wide for Enny to come in.

          “Hey Jamie. I don’t know what to do, I’ve been trying to come up with ideas but nothing is coming to me. I think I’m nervous.” Enny replied.

          “Let’s sit on the balcony and look outside and maybe you’ll see something there that helps.” Jamie suggested.

          “Okay.” Enny replied and stood up and walked to Jamie’s balcony and leaned on the rail. “I love the view. The weather is perfect.”

          “Yeah the sky is just amazing.” Jamie added as he walked up to meet Enny.

They both looked at the sky for some time then Enny started.

          “Jamie, I love hanging with you. You are a really nice guy.”

          “Thanks Enny, I feel the same too. I love being around you....I like you Enny, so much.” Jamie hoped she felt the same about him.

          “I...I like you too Jamie.” Enny faced him and smiled.

Jamie took Enny’s hand and held her close and then they kissed.

Jamie had never felt as good as he felt then in years. Enny had a really good feeling as well.
