I stepped into the art room, and immediately spotted Zelda, Lucina and Robin among the tables and chairs.
"Hey, Link! I saved you a seat," Zelda said, and indicated to the empty chair right beside her. Refusing to let her beauty get the best of me this time, I sat down next to her.
"Me, Robin, and Lucina all have the same home room teacher, Sir Ike."
"Cool. Me and Pit have Palutena," I said.
"Robin and I have all of our classes together," Lucina said.
"Well, I for one certainly don't mind that," Robin cut in. That earned him a smack in the arm from a not too humored Lucina.
"Alright class. I need your eyes up here, and I need quiet so that you can understand the instructions that I give you." With dark chocolate skin, deep brown eyes, and hair that change color at will, there was only one person that the art teacher could be: Camii, a female inkling. Most people just call her Camii, though. She was said to be kind to the kids that are well behaved, but strict on anyone who violates her policies.
"First, we are going to draw, or paint, in our favorite art style. This includes manga and anime style, comic style, abstract art, or still life forms. After that, we'll vote on what color you'd like my hair to be tomorrow. Materials have already been set out for you. AND I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO TOUCH THEM YET." Robin stopped his hand on the way towards the paint. Lucina chuckled, but was quickly silenced by Camii raising her eyebrows quizzically.
"Now you may start working."
All four of us reached for the pencils, plucking one from the yogurt cup serving as a pencil holder. I don't know what it is with art teachers and empty yogurt containers. Without fail, every art teacher I've had uses yogurt cups for water, glue, paint, holding pencils, holding brushes, you name it. I sat back for a moment, thinking about what I should draw. Picking my style was easy; freehand drawing for the win. An idea suddenly popped into my head. I ran my pencil over the paper with ease. Sketching, making lines bolder, erasing, shading, I worked until a scene blossomed onto the white printing paper.
I was unaware of my friends watching me until I heard a voice comment, "Wow! I didn't know you liked that kind of stuff. I'd thought I was the only one until now. That looks great!" I turned my head and jumped. Zelda's face was mere inches from mine as she peered at my drawing. Her hair smelled like coconuts. My sketch was a picture of me and Sheik surprise attacking Pit with a barrage of water balloons. Zelda drew away, smiling her dazzling smile and said,
"Here. You can have a look at mine." The image was of her and Lucina playing poker. The most interesting thing about it was that neither of them had straight faces. In fact, it looked like they were trying hard not to laugh. Robin and Lucina showed us their pictures next. In both drawings, the two of them together were most featured, thought they were with a larger group. Them and a few friends at the mall, them with friends at a volleyball game.
I raised a curious eyebrow at Robin. He smiled and shrugged. There was obviously something going on that he wasn't telling me. After teasing Pit, I would have to come find Robin and press him for details. At that moment, another girl walked up to us. She had long blonde hair (what's with all the blonde?) hanging down her back, and sky clear blue eyes (again, with the blue eyes).
"Hey there. My name's Peach, and no I'm not edible. I was wondering of you could lend me some of your red? The one at my table got a little… Mixed up. As you can see." She said with a chuckle, before indicating to the table at which she sat. The red and the green had been swirled up together, and now resembled some sort of mud color. Two boys with hair the exact shade in color sat arguing quietly with each other over the brown paint.
"You can thank those two for the brand new shade of crap. And, get this: they're trying to decide a name for it. Can you believe it?" She heaved a long sigh.
"As much as I like making new colors, mixing up new types of browns is not on the top of my to-do list. Now, about that red?"
"Well, Miss Peach," Zelda said, reacting first. "Here is the red you are in such great need of."
After being handed the red paint, Peach looked at each of us in turn before smiling again and saying, "I think we should all become friends. High five!" We all hesitated before hitting palms with our new acquaintance, laughing as we did so. After everyone had finished, Camii called our attention to the front of the room again to start the voting. Peach, Zelda, Lucina, Robin, and I all voted for purple.
