Soooooo, here is the next chapter! I never think I can upload the next chapter so fast, but yeah, here it is! (I manage to write at school)

There may be some parts of the story that do not tally with the other part. Please pardon us if that happened because this is an individual work after all.

For the review :

Mew-Star-Mew : Thanks for the review! I'll try my best to catch up, but you know, we have different writing styles and somewhat Reine can finish her story much more faster than me. Don't worry though, I'll try my best to keep up!

Imagine believe : Curious? Just continue reading and wait for the next update! Thanks for reading :3

That's all I think, enjoy the story!

Oh wait, DISCLAIMER I do not own Harvest Moon.

"Term assignment?"

"Yeah, the theme for this year is 'potrait'" Yuri, the president of the Art's Club explains to me, "So, you have to draw a portrait of someone, any media is accepted."

I simply nod. I have decided to join Art's Club to pursue my passion in arts when Reine join Karate Club.

"Due to some circumstances, we will be drawing lots to decide who'll draw who." She continues.

Okay, I don't really care who the target is, as long as the person is worth of it, I don't mind. In fact, I prefer drawing lots. I do not know anyone whom I can ask to be model for arts assignment; I'm not really close with people from my class. If all else fail, I've even thought of asking Reine to be my model, but I know she won't be a good model (She can't sit still for a long time). So yeah...

The girls start to squeal over their preferences as Yuri announces the lots, "I hope I get Allen as my model!"

"Nooo, I want Allen to be MY model!"

Allen? Apparently, he is more popular than I thought. I never see him face to face since that first day of school, but he did appear in front of all the student body in some occasions such as orientation briefing.

Maybe I was really lucky that day. I heard from the seniors and girls in my class that he is kind of perfect in some sense. He's good at sports, smart, and kind, someone you want to be your friend or maybe boyfriend for the girls.

I didn't really realise it the first time I saw him up close, because I was having a severe headache, but he also has a handsome face. Yes, I said he's handsome. I seldom say that someone is good looking or attractive, but I guess... Allen is really one of the rare case...

Nope, I'm not attracted to him, not in the slightest.

I'm just a bit flattered because he helped me last time, that's all.

Yuri came back with a small box that she had filled with papers with different names of the popular boys and girls from this school.

Everyone starts to pick the lot one by one, starting from the second years followed by the first years.

"Gween." Suddenly, Felicity, my friend from junior high school cries out, "What should I do? My model is that Neil Forrester!"

"Huh, who's that?"

"You don't know him? He's the school's delinquent! Well, he's the sole reason we're drawing lots for this project, right? No one wants to get him as a model after all, what if I get beaten in the process?" she continues, her face shows a lot of fear.

Oh yeah, I do recall something like that. There's a rumour going round the school about a delinquent with blond hair. I also remember Reine mentions something about someone called Forrester in the Karate Club.

"Umm... You may want to ask Reine for this. He's in Karate Club right? Don't worry, Reine won't let anyone beat her friend." I suggest, trying to calm her down.

She thinks about it for awhile before eventually nod, but I can still see that the fear never leave her.

"Gwen, it's your turn."

"Okay."

I proceed to approach Yuri and place my hand inside the box, taking a piece of paper in the progress.

I open the folding slowly and it reveals the name as...

Allen Rosencrantz.

I don't know whether I should call myself lucky or not at this point of time, but this... is something that completely changes my fate during my high school years.

Allen

Everything's good, if I continue like this, it won't be long before I'll be elected as the president of the student council.

I'm about to return to my class from student council meeting when I hear someone called my name.

"Umm... Allen?"

I turn my head backwards to see a brunette girl standing behind me, a sketchbook in her hands.

"Yes, may I help you?" I ask politely.

This girl... As I look closely, I seem to recognise her face.

Oh yeah, this is the girl who fainted during the opening ceremony of the school. If I'm not wrong her name is... Gwen Kreiss.

"Is it possible for me to ask you a favour?"

"Sure."

"The Art's Club is having term assignment and we need models for the drawings. Do you mind... being my model?" she asks shyly.

A model? I know that I'm popular and good looking, very fitting to be a model, but it doesn't appeal to me to sit still for hours, waiting for someone to draw the picture of myself. However...

Hmm...

Firstly, it's not a wise decision to refuse someone who needs help (as a member of student council of course), especially a girl.

Secondly, the Art's Club has been exhibiting their artworks during open house and other occasions for years. If she can produce a good artwork of me, it may be a good platform to boost my popularity.

Thirdly, she's quite cute.

"Sure, it's not a problem." I answer, plastering a smile on my face.

Her face brightens up and she eventually smiles at me, "Thank you."

Okay, she's even cuter when she smiles.

"Then, can I see you after school today?" she asks again, "In the Art's Room."

"I have another student council meeting after school, how about tomorrow?"

She nods enthusiastically, her smile never leaves her face. Is she really happy that I agree to be her model? Well, it's me after all. I should consider working as a model in the future.

Okay, now I need to go back to the classroom before the next lesson starts.

"Then, see you tomorrow, Gwen Kreiss."

Gwen

Shoot, why did I feel so happy just because he doesn't mind becoming my model?

Moreover, he remembers my name? And here I thought I will always be someone who is easily forgotten, just come by and pass by in an instant, like what happens in my class.

Lately, I've been thinking too much about this matter. Maybe I should just rest for today, I can't start the assignment since he's busy after all. I'll wait for tomorrow. Somewhat, I feel that I can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Extra

After everyone had taken the lots, it's time for Yuri to take hers. Just as she's about to put her hand inside the box, her friend, the vice president of the Art's Club, took the box from her hands.

Yuri was a bit confused but she didn't say anything.

"For you, you need a special lot!" she teased her, giving her a piece of paper instead of the box.

She looked confused, but nevertheless took the paper and read it.

It said : Rod Braxton.

"Eh, why?" she asked, hint of pinks could be seen on her face.

The other girl giggled, "Well, everybody knows that you had a crush on him since childhood! You should just make him your model!"

Yuri's face turned deep red as the girl's laughed. As the other members left the Art's Room, Yuri once again looked at the small paper in her hand, a smile was plastered on her face.

The extra is just for fun!

Anyway, what do you think of the story so far?

Sorry that the progress is quite slow compared to Reine's part.

R&R. Thanks for reading XD
