Chapter 4- Art Class

The three of them walked into their next class, Advanced Art, in room 103. Kairi and Kurama walked over to a table in the back of the room, and beckoned Rose over. Rose walked over and sat down in the chair that Kurama pulled out for her.

"This is normally Kayla's seat, she invited herself to sit here since Riku does, but the teacher will willingly move her. You can sit here instead." Kurama whispered in her ear. Rose smiled, as the feeling of Kurama's warm breath on her ear made her shiver and blush.

"I'll go tell the teacher about you. Her name's Ms. Koyama." Kairi stood up and walked over to a young woman with bleach blonde hair pulled up in a tight bun, and glasses framing her emerald eyes. She was wearing a knee-length powder blue dress, and white sandals.

Kairi said something to her and she nodded her head. She turned to Rose and smiled, then went back to sorting some papers on her desk. Kairi walked back over to the table and gave her thumbs up.

"Kayla is sitting in the front of the room, with that group of annoying boys." Kairi pointed to a table with five boys. "They all absolutely adore her. She'll be sooo happy." Kairi joked.

At that moment, Kayla walked in, her arm wrapped around Riku's. They both walked over to the table, and Riku took his seat. But, Kayla saw Rose in her seat and anger spread over her face.

"Get out of my seat! I sit next to my boyfriend, just in case you didn't get the memo." She said through gritted teeth.

"Miss. Smith, I have changed your seat. You sit at table number 2 now. Come take your new seat, please." Ms. Koyama nodded at the empty chair at Kayla's new table.

"You're starting to really get on my nerves, you know that?" Kayla grumbled as she walked away. She sat down at her new seat with as much drama as she could muster.

Over the next few minutes, the rest of the students filed into the room. Two more people came and sat down at Kurama, Kairi, Riku, and Rose's table. Kairi introduced them.

"Rose, this is Botan," she pointed to a girl with bright purple eyes and long light blue hair tied up in a ponytail, "… and Naminé." Kairi pointed to a girl with light blue eyes and blonde hair brushed over one shoulder.

"Hiya!" Botan chirped with a huge smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you, Rose." Naminé gave her a shy smile.

"It's great to meet you both." Rose smiled. She was making new friends already. Riku turned to Rose.

"Hey, that reminds me, can I see your sketchbook Rose? I'll bet you're really good!" Riku looked at her expectantly.

"Yeah, I'd like to see them." offered Naminé.

Rose blushed. "Ummm… I'm really not that good." Rose reached into her schoolbag and pulled out her sketchbook, and flipped open the first page. It was a very detailed drawing of a young girl with long red hair, emerald eyes, and had black cat ears and a cat tail. She was wearing a black mesh shirt with a black tube top over it, paired with a black miniskirt and black boots.

Kurama blushed. "Wow… You're really good."

"It looks like a female version of Kurama. Not much of a difference though." Kairi joked. That caused Rose and Botan to giggle, while Kurama's face turned crimson.

"It's still really good though. Got any others?' Riku asked.

Rose smiled and flipped to the next page, and several more. All of the drawings were more beautiful, colored, and detailed than the last. Everyone at the table gaped at them in amazement.

"How on earth do you draw like that?" asked Botan. "I couldn't draw like that in a million years!"

"Well, now we know you'll do well in this class." exclaimed Kurama.

"Alright class, settle down. Let's begin the lesson. Today, we are going to create original comics. They can be manga, or American comics. The two best strips will be featured in the school newspaper for the first semester. Feel free to have others at your table help you out and make suggestions. Please begin."

At that very moment, the dismissal bell rang, and the students hurried out of the classroom. Ms. Koyama sighed, and called out the door after them,

"We'll begin tomorrow!"
