Art class. The last class of the normal school day, before I finally can go home and relax. I can paint, draw, sculpt, and design whatever I want. It was the most tranquil class this school had to offer … until that fateful week.

It was the biggest art project of the year. We had to make a facsimile of a famous painting. It would take weeks, and the top three best facsimiles would be displayed in the local art gallery. But, the paintings had to be big enough to be displayed in the big frames there. So, we had to work in pairs.

I was sitting at my table, waiting for my art teacher to get supplies. I already knew who I’d work with, my best friend Alexandra. We made a perfect team: I’d sketch it out, she’d paint, and together we’d do the detail work. We have this project in the bag.

The table on the other side of the room, the one with the popular kids, was buzzing as usual. The ringleader of the popular kids, Chester, a tall boy with unruly chestnut hair and blue eyes, was shooting rubber bands at the others. They were playing some sort of game, where they’d shoot rubber bands at each other in some sort of pattern. The first one that misses or breaks the pattern loses, and the game continues. Sometimes, they would “accidentally” hit some random kid.

The teacher suddenly stepped into the room, and instantaneously the popular kids acted like little angels. He had a paper bag in his hand, and it was filled with white strips of paper. Oh no… I realized.

“After last year’s fiasco, wherein no one completed their project on time, we’re doing something new this year.” The art teacher announced.

He took out a slip of paper, announced a pair of names, and those kids stood next to their partner. Kids were paired off left and right. Alexandra was paired off with some girl who’s name I forgot. With a sigh, I heard my name being called out, along with Chester. Dang it.

He didn’t get out of his chair to stand next to me. With a sigh, I walked to his chair. His friends were sitting at a different table.
A while ago, Madhurupa asked me to write a romance story starring her chibi. This is the first part of the story. Sorry about the wait! Oops
