Chapter 36

I'm sure school will give me a million distractions, I told myself as Iggy and I walked to first period.

I got my first distraction when we walked into the classroom and I saw Garrett, Zach, and some red head crowded around my desk, talking and laughing. I walked up to them and smiled.

"Hey, guys," I said interrupting their guffaws.

"Hey, Lynn," Zach said smoothly. He was sitting on my desk and Garrett and the carrot top were standing around him.

"Well, hello there, cutie," the red head looked me up and down.

"Back off, Nathan. Lynn's got a boyfriend," Garrett told Nathan. (I catch on fast, huh?)

Nathan looked around before saying, "where's he at then?"

"Right here," Iggy stepped up behind me and put his arms around my waist.

Nathan looked up at Iggy and his cocky level dropped down a bit. "now I see him."

Garrett, Zach, and I started laughing as Iggy stared fiery daggers at Nathan. When the bell rang, we all sat in our desks. The 3 boy's desks, I noticed, were right behind each other and were only 2 rows over.

What a coincidence, I thought as Mr. Mcdowell droned on about our new measurement unit. Measurement, really? Are we still in middle school? I sighed and pulled out my notebook and a pencil. I opened the notebook and started doodling tiny hearts and smiley faces all over the page.

The period flew by fast and Iggy and I decided to walk with Zach and Nathan to second period. Ester fell in step with us when we got to his first period classroom and we all headed to Mrs. Kendricks class, art.

My favorite classmaybe this will erase this morning's conversation from my mind, I thought to myself as we walked into room 502.

"Good morning, guys," Mrs. Kendricks called to us from her art supplies closet.

"Mrs. Kendricks, do you need some help?" Iggy asked walking to the closet.

"Thank you, Jeff," she said stepping out of the closet to let him in. "I just need that purple box up there," she told him pointing.

"Hey, Mrs. K," Nathan greeted walking over to the weary looking teacher.

"You look tired," I mused, noticing the dark circles under her eyes.

Mrs. Kendricks smiled at me and nodded, "Just a little."

Zach, Ester, and I walked to Nathan and Mrs. Kendricks and watched as Iggy reached up and effortlessly got down a dark purple box. We stepped out of his way as he walked to one of the paint splattered tables and set the box down on it.

"There you go, Mrs. Kendricks," Iggy said smiling at us.

"Thank you, Jeff," she said smiling back.

"So what's in there, anyways?" Ester asked looking at Mrs. Kendricks dark-skinned, paint stained face.

"Well, as you can see from my awful appearance," she started gesturing to her paint covered apron, "we are going to be painting today and in that box is everything we'll need."

"Awesome!" Zach shouted pumping his fist in the air.

Mrs. Kendricks laughed at him and nodded. "Well, you kids can go ahead and get your art journals and aprons and sit down," she told everyone in the class just as the bell rang.

My small group and I did as we were told and sat down at the empty table closest to the front of the classroom. Mrs. Kendricks stood in front of our table and started telling us about our assignment; we were to paint the first thing that came to mind when we heard the words beauty.

"This'll be easy," Iggy muttered to me when we were getting our art supplies.

"Yessiree. I already know exactly what im going to paint," I told him grabbing a canvas, some art brushes, and a few different colored paint tubes.

"Me, too," he smiled down at me mischievously and I shook my head at him.
