Politics and Artistics only had one thing in common: The lack of love for each other.

No. This wouldn't do. She decided in a second. The fountain was nearer, way nearer than she wanted it to, it would steal the attention from the beautiful city hall in the back. So no, this was not the angle she was looking for. She walked a few meters back and sat by the fountain this time, realizing she wanted the fountain in the picture she looked around for a moment. Sitting down by the grass under a three she took out her sketch book, it was comfortable there, the light was good and the trunk of the tree made a very good place to lean on, however, after three quick sketches that she just didn't find right she once again moved, this time farther away and sat in the stairwell right at the entrance of the park.
Yes. This was perfect. She could see the kids playing along the green grass, the fountain slightly by her right, close to be detailed but far enough to not be the center of her drawing; she could see the city beyond that and the beautiful city hall was at her whole display, if slightly turned in a corner for her to be able to catch its greatness, and giving the height she won in the stairs she had an interesting angle to work with. She smiled.
Hinata was finally content with the spot she had chosen and feeling the energy to draw she started, oblivious to the world around her she took out for the second time her set of eight colors, from H to 8B ready for her to use. That meaning she had a pencil art that went from the softest of grays to the most dramatic blacks. She had always thought that drawings without color were the best ones, it was up to the artist to choose what was meant to be looked at a picture, if you could captivate the spectator by just your mere talent. Colors diverted people from really seeing what was there.
She relaxed and put her phone in silent as to not be disturbed, she plugged in an earphone with classic music and soon she got lost in her work, her drawings and her gray colors, she began her strokes in the white paper.
Yes, Hinata Hyuga was happy.
-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Where is she?" Sakura whispered to her best friend, phone at hand as she tried and failed to make contact with the receiver, the phone rang five times before it went to voice mail, frustrated she closed it loudly and crossed her arms over her chest, she hadn't replied to her texts, emails, Facebook, let alone calls. Sakura had just practically given up. Ino, who was looking at the door every few seconds shrugged, tapped her pen in her notebook absently, both were seating in the best spots of the table near the window.
"Don't know, said she would be here."
"She knew about the meeting? I mean… she wouldn't forget, right?" Sakura said worriedly, tapping her fingernails in her arm absently. It wasn't like Hinata to be late even if the meeting hadn't started yet.
The meeting room had almost every one of the school staff department already taking seats around the long circular table. There were still a few minutes before the meeting to spare yet some were not wasting time as they finished grading some papers long overdue while others were in secluded groups talking about the upcoming meeting that had put everyone on edge since last month, saying to themselves that nothing wrong would happen and more than a few were by the coffee machine; Coffee Sama (Tenten, the gymnastic teacher, had once labeled it Coffee Sama and it had stuck since then) the only good thing about this place for most; even if their classes were horrible or their schedules impossible, or they just had a bad day with their students at least in Konoha High they had good coffee. Coffee Sama had never failed them.
At the moment the one using Coffee Sama was a very tired and boring looking Nara Shikamaru, History teacher and Ino Yamanaka, Chemestry and Physics teacher seeing this took it to her advantage.
"Oi, Nara, do you mind bringing me a cup of coffee? Please?" She called with a bright smile and sweet tone that crossed the little room. Said man turned on his spot, surprised to be addressed. Sakura guessed he was just surprised she had actually been nice and after giving Ino a raised brow he just turned and muttered something under his breath, waving a hand to indicate he had heard her request. Sakura scoffed at this as she looked to her blond friend who was radiant that she would get coffee delivered to her own spot without even trying.
"The Coffee its not a mile away Ino."
"I know, I just didn't want to get up." Ino said waving a hand at the back of Shikamaru.
"Since when are you so nice to Shikamaru, anyway?"
"Since I wanted coffee." Ino stated as she looked down the papers she was grading, one hand scribbling down the paper and the other one supporting her head, she was one of those teacher who were late in her reports, Sakura had told her to do it last week, Ino didn't listen, so here she was, last minute grading tons of papers from her second grade students. "Damn this kids, since when CO2 is Yodox god help me. Am I a bad teacher?"
"No you are not. One kid on the last oral exam got so nervous that he said it had been Copernicus the one who discovered America instead of Cristobal Columbus. He had a field day with his classmates."
"Oh, Shikamaru! Thank you!" Ino said raising her eyes from her own test and took the coffee with evident glee and a wide smile to the man who had gave it to her. Sakura just watched in silent amusing as both long friend and partners in this school sat and talked about their years of teaching, going down memory lane of all the times the kids had screwed up along the years. Ino talked way more than Shikamaru did as he listened half-heartedly sipping his coffee.
Sakura not having anything to do since her papers were all graded just sighed as she recalled one of her own children confusing the femur, the most large bone in the body, with the humerus. She shook her head, kids were really something.
The door of the meeting opened loudly and everybody turned to just find Inuzuka Kiba, the teacher of Football and Basketball at the door panting, he looked around and cheered seeing that the meeting had not yet started.
"I arrived on time!"
"That would be a first, Inuzuka-San" Tenten smiled from across the room, she was the gymnastic teacher and Rock Lee, the Track and Boxing teacher was talking with her about the next sport event that was going to take place in Osaka. They were excited about taking their respective students there for a demonstration. Inuzuka just shrugged good naturedly at the remark and his eyes shined at seeing a certain something.
"Oh! Coffee Sama come to me!" He yelled in happiness as he made a bee line to said artefact, everybody laughed, glad to have something to get their frustrations on, however he had to ruin it with his next statement. "If I get fired I called dibs."
There was a quick shout of protest from everyone in the room, Tenten demanded her rights since she had been the one to give it the nick name, however, after the quick burst of laugh and the smart remark of Kiba saying "well, sue me" the easy feeling died as soon as it had been born, the air was heavy after hearing the words the whole staff had been evading and soon everybody got quiet again immersed in their own thoughts.
Lee took a seat in the table and everybody soon followed after, Kiba had taken off his sweatshirt and was now playing silently with a tread of his shirt looking impatiently to the door. Now there were just two empty seats and the clock ticked five minutes past three pm Sakura noticed.
By this point no one was talking anymore, the only noises were coming from Ino who was muttering under her breath and the quick but sure scratch of her pen against the papers, the tap of the foot of Kiba as he waited impatiently and the occasionally sigh of Shikamaru.
Tsundae Sama would be here any second now. Sakura just sat with her hands in her lap as she dialed Hinata, by this point she had already memorized the god damned number. In the silent room she wondered if everybody could listen as she was sent to voice mail…again.
Hope you like it! Review if you did please?
