Chapter 12: Art Contest

"I really want you guys to behave yourselves when my friend comes over." I announced to the nations who are clearly, not paying attention. I grabbed my handy whislted and blew into it. Too bad for Matthew who was standing next to me.

"What the hell was that for?" Alfred was holding his ears. I laughed. "The hero shouldn't have to be dealing with a bad citizen like you."

"Since when did I got the name 'bad citizen' labeled onto me?" I asked.

"Since you destroyed my McDonalds card." He grumbled.

"Stop complaining." I growled. "I got you a new one!"

I turned to look at all the other headaches, I mean housemates, who were still holding thier ears. And Matthew was cowering in fear. I gave him an apoligetic smile. "Anyways, I want you guys to be on your best behavior when my friend comes over. Or so God help the person who piss her off. It's not a pretty sight."

"Is she hot?" Gilbert smiled. I crossed my arms across my chest. "What I can't ask?"

"No, I'm just thinking it would suck to be you if you ever did hit on her." I thought about it for a second and sighed. "I just hope she doesn't destory the house like last time."

"We will behave aru." I looked at Yao and smiled.

"Good." I smiled. Then I suddenly got a phone call and I answered. It was Boss. Everybody else went back to what they we're doing before. Well, that is until I screamed at the top of my head.

"NO WAY!" I screamed. I jumped up and down shouting 'yes' and 'hell yes'. Then I paid attention to my phone again. "You're not lying are you? You're not? HELL YES!"

"What is it daze?" Yong-Soo asked.

"Totally!" I shouted into the phone, totally ignoring the korean. "Yeah, of course. I'll meet you there, but at what time? 15 minutes, go it, Okay, laters."

"What's the exciting news?" Matthew asked.

"Well, I submitted an art piece into a contest." I told them. They caught on really quick. I nodded my head and smiled. "I WON!"

"Congratulations." Ivan smiled. And it's not the whole creppy smiled but the whole congratulation smile. I'm feeling really excited. "May we come?"

"Totally!" Then I tilted my head. Then I gasped. "OH shit! I have to go and get ready. Meet you guys here in like 5 minutes."

I rushed upstairs and locked the door to my room. I've been getting into that habit ever since Gilbert walked into my room while I was changing. Yeah, long story summarized. I grabbed my best shirt and my best pants and even my best shoes. Too bad these are the only good ones. I quickly got dressed and rushed to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth, brushing my head, and washing my face, I finally felt ready. I ran downstairs.

"Hard to believe you didn't trip with all that running and stuff." Gilbert commented.

"Well, I'm too excited." I smiled. "I can't believe I won the art contest. This is my first time winning the art contest."

I grabbed my keys, phone, and wallet for just in case issues and practically ran to the front door. I stopped so the guys can catch up. Ivan was adjusting his scarf, Alfred was putting on his bomber jacket, Gilbert grabbed gilbird and put him on his head, Yao was . . . avoiding Yong-Soo's groping hands. And Matthew was right next to me, all ready to go.

"Come on you guys." I jumped up and down. "Let's go, I can't hold my excitment anymore. Let's go."

"Calm down." Matthew put his hand on my shoulder. "I know you're excited but lower down the hyperness."

"So says you." I frowned. "You're not the one who was up late at night finishing the painting then have to start all over again when your boss dumped black paint all over it. It took me a whole month and a half to finish."

"Oh." Matthew looked surprised.

I looked athe guys who were ready. I opened the front door and practically jumped off the porch. Yao locked the front door and caught up with me. I just started running and left the guys behind. Well, until I realized that they way behind then I had to wait for them. By the time I reached the place where my art is shown, I was 45 minutes late then what I told Boss.

"Hey Kara." Boss waved her hand. I waved my hand and hugged her by the time I reached her. "Congratulations on your win."

"Where is it?" I asked. She pointed to the gruop of people that was crowding. I rushed my ass over there, hardly containing my excitement. I pushed my way through the crowd and finally reached upon the display case. I squealed at my painting.

My painting was a field of purple and blue flowers with silver leaves. The huge moon in the background that act as the sun was taking up majority of the sky but the red and pink stars are still visible. The black leaved trees with the light brown bark was a great contrast against the ocean blue lake that was in front of some purple mountains. Blue clouds are sperating showing the moon and for the final touch, I added a couple of gold and silver butterflies among the flowers.

And Matthew surprised me by giving me a hug from behind.

"It's amazing daze." Yong-Soo said.

"Damn!" I looked at Alfred who was in awe of my awesome and epic painting. "You did this paniting? It's amazing."

"Thanks." I smiled. I hugged Matthew back. Then I squealed into his arm. "I can't believe that I actually won an art contest after so many times of entering."

"That is a bit hard to believe." I looked at Ivan. "I thought that your art would be winning so many art contests."

"Yeah, well there is this one person who always beat every single time." I laughed nervously. "His art is so much better then mine, but he didn't enter this time so maybe that's why I won."

"You got that right." I looked at the voice behind me. I frowned at the snobby looking, gay looking, and totally over the top rich boy who as his hands on his hips. He was also glaring at me with his hazel, contact, eyes. "You better be thankful you won this time, Kara. Because I'll be beating you again in the next contest."

"May the best artist win." I held out my hand for him and smiled. He slapped it away. "You've must have been busy to eneter this contest huh? I guess even the rich people has thier busy times. But then again you are those type of rich bastards that will always want thier way in whatever they want. Isn't that the reason why you enter these art contests anyways?"

"Shut up, Kara." He spitted in my face. "Who are you to say that shit to my face? All I'm saying is that you better be prepared when I beat you the next time."

"I know." I smiled. "And I'm wishing you good luck you rich bastard."

He glared at me but walked away. I let out a sigh and flipped him off behind his back. Gilbert was laughing his head off and patted me in the back.

"I have no idea who that bastard is but you really showed him." He laughed. Alfred also patted my back.

"Who is he aru?" Yao asked.

"His name is Conner Melrose." I sighed. "He owns one the biggest houses in town and he thinks that just because he has money he can get whatever the hell he wants. Believe it or not, he takes full pride in that little fact. He's just like his dad so I guess that apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

"You sure kept your cool there." Matthew said.

"Not really." I smiled. "If I did then I wouldn't have had called him a bastard. Oh well." I turned to my painting that I'm so proud of. "I wonder where I'm going to hang that now."

"Hey I want the painting." Alfred raised his hands.

"What, no." Gilbert pushed him playfully. "I want the painting. It's too awesome to be with anybody else."

"Even you think that my painting is awesome." I laughed. "Thanks Gilbert."

Gilbert blinked at me. "It's not that awesome."

I sulk my head onto Yao's shoulder. Yao patted my head and I heard whispered growls.

"WAIT, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!" Gilbert shouted. "I'm sorry.

"Sure." I looked at him and gave him a creepy smile. "Since you're so sorry, how about you buy us lunch?"

"Uhhhh . . . " Gilbert looked away.
