Draw Me a Picture
They couldn't stand each other…
"Look at her…her nose always in a book. She's like the definition of a loner" Troy whispered to his friends, but made sure it was loud enough for her to hear.
"Aside from that Taylor girl no one ever hangs out with her. I'm sure she doesn't even know how to make friends"
Gabriella hated him. He knew nothing about her, and still he went around and judged her. As much as she didn't want it to hurt it did…
Her past has secrets she doesn't share with anyone anymore…
"I love you daddy" 12 year old Gabriella said as she dropped a single red rose down on a white coffin.
His life seems perfect…
"He shoots! He scores! Another win for the East High Wildcats!"
What happens when the two of them are paired up for an art project?
"Troy will you just sit still! I can't do this if you keep moving every ten seconds!"
"You try sitting still for hours and see how easy it is!"
"We've been here for 15 minutes!"
And when a talent reveals her past…how will he react?
Troy picked up the sketchbook she had left on the table, flipping the cover open he let out a breath of admiration. Perfect pencil lines created an almost mirror like reflection of his face.
"Where did you learn to draw like that?" he asked looking into her eyes. There was nothing teasing about the question, he was truly amazed.
Gabriella shrugged. "My dad used to draw with me, he was an artist" she mentally slapped herself as soon as the words left her mouth.
"Was?" Troy asked.
"I don't want to talk about it" she said turning away, eyes brimming with tears. He looked at the drawing again, realizing that her life might have been harder than he thought when she walked into the school for the first time, her head held high.
Will things change?
"There's no way I can come even close to your drawing Gabriella" Troy said frustrated, throwing his sketchbook on the floor.
"You're not supposed to Troy, you're supposed to draw the way you draw" she said as she picked up his newborn sister who had just started to cry. "Practice on something simpler than my face. An apple or something, just to get the feeling of drawing into your hands. Focus on light and shadows" she rocked his baby sister slowly back and forth.
Will he change?
Scratching his head with the pencil he looked over to the couch where both Gabriella and Emeline were asleep. Gabriella on her back, her head resting on the armrest and a pillow. Emeline on Gabriella's chest…it was the perfect opportunity to draw her.
"Draw Me a Picture" coming soon…
