A tiny boy with untidy red hair sat on his butt busily cutting a heart from red paper. His goggles shifted down on his forehead as he shifted positions. "What's with the goggles, dork?" A boy one grade up asked as he bent down to look at him.
He turned around so his back was facing him and continued cutting. "Don't play with that sweetie, it's sharp!" The teacher yelled to small girl as she chased around the toy and crayon littered floor. "Haha." The girl laughed cutely as she ran from the teacher, an small arrow in her hand.
He finished cutting out his heart as the little girl rounded the canvas splashed with colors and purple handprints. He held it out proudly, a bit of his tongue sticking out as he inspected the heart.
"Whoa!" The girl yelled as she tripped over a block tower and onto the boy. Her arrow piercing right through his crisp paper heart. "S-sorry." The girl stuttered stumbling off of the green-eyed boy.
"It's okay." He said his freckled cheeks turning red as he looked down at her squirming in his lap. She got up and looked down at her bow. His paper heart was ripped neatly in the center. "H-here you have it." She said shoving the bow and heart lightly in his chest.
"Haha. Thanks." He smiled taking the bow in his small, shaky hands. "I'm Wally." He said his green eyes tightening as he smiled.
"Artemis." She said smiling as little tendrils of her shiny, pale blond her fell over her blue, blue eyes.
"There you are!" The teacher yelled as she brushed back her own blond hair behind her ear. She gasped as she looked down at the bow in Wally's hand. "I told you it was dangerous. Now say you're sorry." She scolded pointing to Wally as her leather skirt squeaked.
"Sorry." Artemis nearly laughed as the teacher took her small hand. "S'okay." Wally shrugged gripping the wood of the bow tighter. She waved at him as she and the teacher disappeared behind the corner and to her office.
He looked down at the bow once more and blushed heavily. The color almost taking over his whole freckled face.
