The bell rang ending both lunch and my conversation with this cute boy. What? Huh? No brain! Stop!
I headed to art class with Ash, "What was with the short guy?" he asked me.
I shrugged, "I'm not sure, he seem's protective of his cousin Ember."
We walked in the classroom and sat down, about 30 seconds later came Ember, Alice, Bree, Aspen, Jake, and the short guy came in. He didn't look happy, Ember sat in front of me, which I thought was odd.
"Em please?" the short guy pleaded.
"No. Now be nice." she said. He groaned, I smirked at that.
He glared at me, it looked like a death glare but not a very good one. Aw, that's cute, he's cute when he's mad. Wait what, no brain! NO! He plopped himself next to Ember.
"Em remember when we get home, I'm going to kill you." he muttered.
She scoffed, "No you won't. You're not going to risk that." she said.
He frowned and pouted, gods that's cute. BRAIN! Ember laughed and ruffled his hair.
"Damn you Em." he muttered.
Ms. Hazati got everyone's attention, "Today class, you will draw a picture of someone. It could be anyone, on the back do a brief backstory." she said, then left us alone for the rest of the class.
I don't know who I drew, but it was a girl in a black dress and a fan. I blinked, where have I seen this girl before I finished the drawing and flipped the page over.
This is a girl who's been through a lot of trauma, like a war, but she keeps moving on. I frowned, why did this seem so familiar? It seemed like a picture Ember would know of. I poked in the back with my pencil, she jumped slightly and turned around.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
Her cousin shot me a death glare, and Ember glanced at him and shook her head ever so slightly. He sighed and rolled his eyes at me.
"Does this picture seem familiar?" I asked, I know it was a stupid question but I think she knew this girl.
Her mouth twitched slightly, "No." she said, then she turned back.
I frowned, where did I know this girl I continued the backstory, just more stuff about her past and how she continued on in her life even though it was hard for her. The bell rang, and I got up and handed Ms. Hazati my drawing. I went back to my seat and packed my pencils and other utensils.
"We need to talk." Ember said.
"Um... okay?" I said hesitantly.
"Come on Em!" Milo called.
Ember looked behind her, "One sec. Mi." she said.
She looked at me and crossed her arms, "One, give him some space, he's shy so don't push him, two, if you want to know his name..." she trailed off.
I thought she was going to tell me his but she just said, "Ask him, nicely, don't push him, please." she said then walked of and met up with the boy.
I blinked and stood there for a second, then I went to my biology class. I arrived there just in time and sat next to someone, I didn't pay attention enough to know who it is.
"Pay attention to my words, and it just might not get you hurt." the person said, I jumped slightly and turned to look, it was Ember. I blinked, then the bell rang again.
Mr. Basso called attention, he took roll and we got started, "Today class you will identify the different bone structures of different animals, you will be doing this with your desk." he said in a monotone voice.
Ember and I looked at each other, her eyes seemed deathly familiar, I snapped out of my thoughts when the microscope was brought on our table as well as several slides.
She put in ear buds and put in a slide and looked in, "Frog." she said.
"What, huh?" I asked, again I wasn't paying attention.
"It's a frog bone structure." she said, "Here." she slide the microscope to me.
I looked it, "Yeah, frog." I said I looked up at her and she was looking at a thermal chart on her phone, that's odd. I thought.
She looked up from her phone and inserted another slide, I looked at it, "Bird." I said and slide it over to her.
She looked it briefly, "Bird." she put another slide in, "Fish." she said and slide it over.
"Fish." I said, I put in another slide, "Cat." I slide the microscope to her.
She looked at it, "Cat." She put a slide in, and looked in, she frowned, "Human." she said and slide it to me.
I looked in, okay creepy, "Human." I said.
Ember and I wrote the animal in our notebooks. Frog, Bird, Fish, Cat, and Human. We had 15 minutes left of class.
"So, is your cousin just shy or something?" I tried to make conversation.
She nodded, "Yeah. He's a loner." she said.
She got out another notebook, "What are you doing?" I asked.
She shrugged, "Stuff, drawing sometimes help." she said. She opened her notebook and what I saw was dozen of good dress drawing.
"So your into dresses?" I asked stupidly.
She shook her head, "No not really, they're just easy to draw." she flipped to a new page and started to draw a black dress, it was cool looking, the bell rang and we cleaned up.
We packed our bags, and I walked out of the classroom, I thought about Ember's words, he's a loner kept coming to me. I didn't know why.
