Art Project

Who's excited for more of the Art Project? I know I am! Here's the third chapter:

Chapter 3: The Kiss

Catrine's POV

The next day, as Maman* dropped me off at the parking lot, I spotted a sad Cleo sitting on the steps. I waved to Maman and ran towards Cleo.

"Hey." I said, sitting down beside Cleo. She looked at me, her eyes red and swollen, tears streaming her face, making her makeup run and look like a monster (that wasn't supposed to be offensive).

"What?" Cleo said.

"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday." I said. Cleo sniffed.

"What does he even see in her? I'm 1,000 times prettier than Rochelle Goyle!" Cleo said, and banged her hands against the steps. I shrugged my shoulders, then covered my mouth to keep from giggling. She is so conceited, but in the funniest way!

"Hey!" I sprang up from the steps. Cleo looked at me.

"Hey." Cleo said jokingly.

"Maybe Deuce is crying like a baby, too!" I said. Cleo glared at me.

"Maybe Deuce is crying like a baby!" I corrected myself.

"Huh?"

"Maybe he realized dumping you for Rochelle was a big mistake, and he wants you back!" I said, then I started humming I Want You Back by the Jackson 5.

"Yeah! That's a possibility!" Cleo said, her face lightening up. I was surprised she ignored my humming. "We gotta get in the building." Cleo grabbed her purse, and my hair, and walked into the building. Ow, my hair, ow my hair, she's dragging me by my hair! OW OW OW!

Heath's POV

Before 4th period, I saw Abbey at her locker with the skeleton ghoul. I walked up to them.

"HAAY ABBAYY." I said, sounding very cool. Abbey closed her locker and her and the skeleton looked at me.

"I not understand this 'ABBAYY'. My name is Abbey!" Abbey stamped her foot.

"Sorry, Abbey." I mumbled. The skeleton snickered and said something I didn't understand.

"I need to tell you something." Abbey said. I smiled. I know exactly what she wants to tell me. She is so into me!

"Sure." I said casually. "What is it?" I waited for those 3 words.

"You annoy me." Abbey said. NOT THOSE 3 WORDS!

"Huh?" I asked. She rolled her eyes.

"You annoy me." Abbey repeated.

"No! I heard you…I mean…how do I annoy you? I don't annoy anyone else!" I stammered.

"Actually, you annoy just about everyone." The skeleton said. Abbey nodded.

"How do I annoy you?" I asked again, ignoring the skeleton.

"You are conceited, annoying, braggart who is so desperate to go out with any ghoul in the world." Abbey said, as if it was obvious. The skeleton high-fived her. I had no idea what a braggart was, and I wasn't gonna look it up.

"Abbey…" I started. She walked away from me.

"That's cold." The skeleton said, and started laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. I saw Rochelle walk into the art room, and followed her. Then the skeleton followed me.

Rochelle's POV

As I sat down in the seat, Catrine walked up to me.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey. So…you heard?" Catrine said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Heard what?" I asked.

"Heard about Cleo & Deuce." Catrine said.

"No…what happened?" I asked.

"Deuce dumped Cleo for you." Catrine said. My heart froze, and I did not know how to react. So I gasped and grabbed her by the hair.

"Say that again?" I asked, looking directly into her eyes.

"Deuce…dumped…Cleo…for…you." Catrine said slowly, as if we didn't speak English or French. I was speechless. I let go of her hair. Then Draculaura walked up to us.

"So, Rochelle, you've seen the Ghostly Gossip?" Draculaura asked me. She is so addicted with gossip!

"Oui…" I said, looking down.

"And how do you feel?" Draculaura asked. I gulped.

"Uh…" I seriously did not know what to do at that moment.

"Can you believe it?! That is sooo romantic of him to dump Cleo for you!" Draculaura squealed.

"Uh…just a little bit quieter, Lala." Cleo said loudly. Draculaura cleared her throat.

"Sorry." She said. Then she looked at me. I looked at her back. We were not blinking.

"Are we having a stare contest?" I asked her. Draculaura blinked.

"No! How do you feel about the second hottest guy in school dumping the second hottest ghoul in school for you?" Draculaura asked.

"Who is the first hottest guy in school and who is the first hottest ghoul in school?" I asked.

"Clawd and muah." Draculaura said, batting her eyelashes and flipping her hair. I rolled my eyes.

"I knew she was gonna say that." Catrine said quietly. I shrugged my shoulders. Then Abbey walked in. She took the seat in front of me. Then Heath, who was washing some paintbrushes (which he had surprisingly not burned), sat back down in the seat next to Abbey. She gave him a long stare, then got up and sat in the seat beside me.

"Hello, Rochelle. I heard Deuce…" Abbey started.

"I get it, alright?!" I snapped. Deuce walked in, and sat in the seat next to Cleo. Cleo glanced at him, and shivered.

"Awkward…" Toralei sang. Everyone laughed. I did not. Neither did Deuce or Cleo.

"Alright class, please sit down and be quiet." Mrs. Troll said. Draculaura sat back down in her seat. Mrs. Troll sat down at her desk. She began talking about the art project again for those who had been absent the previous day. Abbey handed me a note.

"From Deuce." Abbey whispered. My face felt hot. I did not even read the note. I made sure Deuce was not looking, and I threw the note in the trash. Then Deuce glanced at me, and I smiled, like I had read the note.

"Okay…now I have made a chart of where you must sit. Tomorrow, the seats will be arranged in a different order than they are now. I hope you all have decided on the type of art you will be doing." Mrs. Troll said. "So…for now…you must sit with your partner."

Everyone started to look for their partners and they took seats by each other. Deuce sat by me, in the seat Abbey had sat in. I got up and went to the sink and started washing the paintbrushes. I hope he does not ask me about the note.

Heath's POV

Abbey slowly took the seat next to me.

"Why'd you leave earlier?" I asked.

"That was in past. Now, we must talk in present, NOT future." Abbey said, not looking at me. What the heck is that supposed to mean? It happened like 5 minutes ago!

"Okay…" I said. Abbey glared at me, then snatched the paintbrushes out of my hand.

"Okay…take the paintbrushes…" I said quietly, but I think Abbey heard me. She just chose to ignore me.

"We must get started on project. I want to get this over with so I will not have to see your hideous face again." Abbey said, still not looking at me. I heard someone giggling.

"Harsh…" Jinafire Long said. She was the giggler. I turned around and I set my hand on fire. I was about to say Wanna see something harsh? Here…! But, Jinafire screamed and jumped out of her seat and hid under a table. I realized the end of her hair was black. I burned the end of her hair! Abbey, letting go of the paintbrushes and sending them flying, fell out of her seat. I wasn't sure if she did that on purpose or on accident. She got back up, picked up the paintbrushes, and kind of punched my back. I made my hand go back to normal. Jinafire got up and sat down and mumbled something I didn't understand.

"Do not do that again." Abbey said. I mouthed the word okay, then took some paper off of the teacher's desk. Then we started working on the project.

We (well Abbey) decided that we were gonna do that manga art. I had wanted to do abstract, but Abbey gave me that evil yet cute look in her eye that said, Do it or ELSE. So… we're doing manga! After class was over, we all ran out in the hallway. I did something I KNEW I was gonna regret. I kissed Abbey on the lips. I knew everyone was looking, but I ignored them. I didn't know if Abbey liked it, but I knew I did!

After I pulled away from her, she didn't hesitate at ALL to do what she did next. She raised her arm, and smacked me right on the face. It was so hard, I thought she would've knocked some of my teeth out. But she didn't. She walked away, and started screaming something in I guess was Yetish.

"Wait…where are you going?" I called out to her.

"TO GO BOIL MY MOUTH!" Abbey called back. It felt like the whole world began to crumble. The only thing I could hear was the shrieking laughter of everyone, and the only thing I felt was the cold, throbbing pain on my face. I rubbed my face and ran into the boy's bathroom.
