Chapter 2. Art Class
"C'mon! Let's go! We are so late!" Ashley exclaimed taking her sketchpad and stuffs from John and Trish.
"Hey! No need to hurry." John said.
"But I need to hurry. Mr. Morris made me do a sketch for him." Ashley replied.
The three of them hurried to get inside. Ashley became more pissed off when they stopped by Trish's locker.
'Damn it!' She thought as Trish closed her locker.
"All good." Trish simply smiled at her friend.
Ashley flashed a small smile as well. Then, they quickly made their way to Art class. When they got there, Trish was the one who got first so she opened the door.
"Miss Stratus, Mister Cena. You both are late." Mr. Morris said as he looked at them.
Trish nodded and went up to Mr. Morris' desk just to put some paper. Trish and John made their way to their table and sat down, while Ashley simply sneaked to her table.
"You too, Miss Massaro." Mr. Morris actually felt her presence.
Then, all heads were turned to her direction. She just simply nodded.
"Where have you been?" Cat, her best friend aside from John and Trish asked.
"Well, we hurriedly went here but then, Trish forgot her things so, that's the reason." Ash replied.
"So, who can explain what's the meaning of this drawing?" Mr. Morris asked loudly.
Ashley took her sketchpad, ready to doodle. She could feel that no one raised his or her hands and she just simply smirked.
'Must've been a bad drawing.' She thought and started to draw.
Then, she felt Cat's elbow nudged her side, making her hand rose up.
"Yes, Miss Massaro?" Mr. Morris called her.
'Damn reflex!' She exclaimed on her head and stood up, glaring at her friend.
She looked at the drawing and was shocked.
'That's my drawing. How did it get there? And I guess it was a really bad drawing.' She thought and looked at Trish and John.
Trish was smirking at her and John smiled nervously. She didn't want her artworks to be ripped out of her sketchpad and be simply displayed in front of the class without her permission.
"Yes, Miss Massaro?" Mr. Morris asked her again.
"Oh." She snapped out of trance and looked at the drawing.
It was the drawing she made when she was still with Alvin. It was her ex-boyfriend. She made the drawing 'cause she thought he'd be the guy she'd be with forever. But she was so wrong. Randy was right. She was trapped in her boyfriend's world and that fact blinded her from reality.
"Well," She started, making all heads turn to her again. "It was simple. I don't know why you can't explain it. A couple was sitting down on a bench, in a park. The sun was setting. Their background was colorful and so alive. Even though the couple wasn't facing us, I could see that they were smiling. They were simply happy in the mere fact that they knew that they would be together forever. The colorful background symbolized that they were just happy and that their love was colorful. But, I guess they were simply wrong." She explained.
"What about this artwork?" Mr. Morris asked, placing another artwork on the plate holder.
'That was mine too!'She exclaimed again. But now, she glared at Trish who gave her a peace sign and flashed a sorry smile.
"I think that was the continuation of the first artwork." She replied.
"You can sit down now, Miss Massaro." Mr. Morris nodded at her. "And who could explain this artwork?" He asked looking at the students.
'Trish, you are so dead!' She thought as she looked at her sketchpad.
"Mister Orton, please explain this artwork to us." Ashley heard Mr. Morris pleaded the guy she just simply wanted to see since the time they met.
Ashley's head turned to his direction and saw him stood up. He looked at her and locked his eyes to hers. When she felt all eyes eyeing her, she simply broke the contact between the two of them and continued to doodle. But deep inside, she just wanted to stare at those blue crystal orbs.
"Well," She heard Randy's voice, preparing to explain her artwork. "I agree to Ashley's answer."
'Not my whole first name!' She didn't look up or even looked at him even if she was pissed off at him saying her whole first name at the class.
"The first artwork was happy. The couple was just sitting there, relaxing at the moment. 'Cause they simply knew that they'll be happy forever. But then, obstacles came to their relationship. The time came that the obstacles were so difficult to carry on and it became their burden. I think the guy couldn't carry so many burdens anymore so he left. He simply left the girl and made her carry it. Whoever made that artwork had their purpose to color the background in many directions. All of us color in only one direction, but they simply color it in that way 'cause they were telling us that when that guy left, the girl was been confused on which direction she would go." He explained further.
'Randy, is that you?' He thought.
"Nice answer, Mr. Orton." Mr. Morris told him and he sat down. "All of the artworks were made by Miss Ashley Massaro." Mr. Morris said and went to behind his desk, in front of the blackboard.
'Not my name!' She was so pissed that she made an oval, not a circle. 'Darn it!' She then erased the oval and tried to make a perfect circle.
"Okay, so we will be discussing today about your first project for the year. This is not a simple drawing in plate thing but this is a huge project. Since you can't have it by group, I already paired you all up." Mr. Morris explained and Ashley listened attentively.
Catherine's hand rose up.
"Yes, Miss McAdams?" Mr. Morris asked.
"Couldn't it be an individual project Mr. Morris?" She asked.
'Nice question, Cat!' Ashley though and looked at her friend with a 'good-job' look.
"Well, as I've said, this is a huge project. You can't do this by your own." Mr. Morris replied to her and she sat down.
'Damn it!' Ashley thought.
"Okay, if I called your name, please be seated beside your partner." Mr. Morris instructed and started calling out names.
"I hope I'll be partnered with Randy." A girl in front of Ashley whispered at her seatmate.
"Cena with Stratus."
"Yes." Trish squealed triumphantly and gave John a peck.
"Kazuki with McAdams."
"Oh my gosh!" Both Ashley and Catherine gasped.
He was Catherine's crush. So, Catherine left her best friend sitting beside Kazuki. Catherine looked at Ashley sympathetically. Ashley just smiled at her.
"And lastly, Orton with Massaro."
'What! Shit! Damn it! Ugh!' She thought as Randy made his way beside Ashley.
When he sat beside her, she quickly closed her sketchpad and looked at Catherine. Cat had widened eyes and her jaw dropped. Ashley, then, looked at John and Trish. John wasn't looking at her, but at Randy. Trish has the same expression with Cat.
'This'll not be good.' She thought and finally, looked Randy.
"Hi." He greeted, simply.
"Hey." She barely whispered.
Anxiety started to conquer her again. She felt so uneasy. After he explained her drawing, she felt like Randy was reading her mind. She simply felt so uncomfortable to his presence.
"Okay, since I've observed your recent drawings, I found them to be so morbid. And I guess, all of you are heartbroken." Mr. Morris started to explain.
'Hell yeah we are!' Ashley simply smirked, her hair covering the side of her face. 'Thank God for long hair!' She thought again.
"So, I want your artworks to have a theme of being brokenhearted. Or maybe, make your artworks morbid or unusual. Just be creative, as I've always said………" Mr. Morris explained the whole thing as Randy and Ashley listened to him. "At the end of the year, as you all know, there will be an Art exhibit and those who had the nicest drawings and paintings would be displayed there. So, I hope you do your best and the canvases are outside of the room." And with that, the bell rang.
"I'm going to get the canvas. Then, you can call me just to tell when you are free." Ashley told him, standing up and gathering her things.
"No, just give me your phone number 'cause I'm going to get the canvas." Randy insisted.
"Fine. Here's my number." Ashley told him his number and Randy wrote it.
"Call me by 8 or 9." She told him and finally went off.
"I just can't simply believe that you were partnered with him!" Catherine exclaimed as she, Ashley, John and Trish walked on the corridors to World History.
"Whatever you say." Ashley rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Well, he really likes to meet you, Ash." John said, out of the blue, making Ashley stop in dead tracks.
"What did you just say?" She asked John.
"Yeah. He always told me in practice that he wants to meet you." He replied.
"But why?" She asked again, pressing John so he could explain further.
"I dunno. Maybe it's now your turn for it to find out." He replied and finally walked off.
