Chapter 2- Easy

After unpacking her room all over again and placing her paintings on her walls she felt more at home. Her classes started tomorrow and she was more excited then ever. She talked with Ino until she was ready for sleep and then drifted into dream land.

The next morning Tayuya got up early to get herself ready. She pretended she didn't care much about how she looked but she did try on 3 pairs of pants before finding the right ones. The jeans were dark, holes in the knees- her trade mark, and in favor of Ino she wore a purple shirt Ino had got her, which wasn't her style at all, but she had to admit it was cute. She slid on her purple hat and some converse. She smiled in the mirror- perfect. She made sure she had all her art supplies at least twice and then headed out the door.

Tayuya pretended to know where she was going and eventually found the building her class was in. She made her way into the class room and took a seat- she was early. A few minutes behind her, the door opened. Sasuke smiled at her.

"You're in here too?" She asked.

"Yeah, I may not look like it but I can paint some mean flowers." He laughed and sat next to her.

She blushes, "Oh. . . I like to paint things like dragons or people. . Flowers are beautiful though."

Sasuke looked over her, "You look cute today."

Tayuya smirked, "Thanks.""Don't take compliments well huh?"

More faceless people entered the room and took their seats.

"No." She answered.

He playfully pushed her, "Come on, looking like that you must have all the guys."

She laughed, "Not even close."

Sure, she had a few crushes before, but never had a boyfriend. Her friend made it obvious it wasn't worth it- Ino had the worst taste in men and so did Sakura. She came to the conclusion love doesn't exist in people. All she needed was her good grades and her paint set.

The teacher walked in and introduced himself. He was a young man with grey hair.

"You guys can call me Kakashi. It's alright, being professional isn't what this class is about." He paused, "I'm here to help you in your future as artists. I'm not here to make friend, though I might meet a few, and you are here to make your dreams come true. I can tell you now, out of all the people in this room maybe 10% have talent. And at least 3 people will fail."

Tayuya smiled, this guy was blunt- she admired that.

"All I ask is for you to complete your assignments on time. In the world of art everyone is a critic, but as long as you can tell me a connection between your art and the topics I give, you will have no problem." He pauses and looks around, "Your first assignment is to paint me a picture on something that matters most to you. Yeah yeah, I know, get to know you activities, but I want an idea of your sense of art. It's due in two days- No lates accepted." He dismisses them.

"Easy first day huh?" Sasuke asked.

"They always are." Tayuya left.
