The next class after lunch was boring- Social studies. We were learning about America- oh, what joy! I couldn't wait for it to get over with as soon as possible. Luckily for me, I had art class next. I generally liked art class, unless Feliciano was in it, of course.

"And anyway, in today's class we will be learning about a style known as 'Pop'." The art teacher, Mrs. Erin, quickly sketched a basic doodle of 'Wonder Woman' on the board. "This is what is known as pop. Your basic superheroes are all pop," I glanced over quickly- and sure enough a big goofy grin was plastered on Antonio's face. "Today, your entire class will be devoted to creating your own superhero! Make sure to include details in the fabric of the clothing, or whatever you are choosing- cape, wings, anything really- and make it slightly realistic and slightly un-realistic," Mrs. Erin went around, her green skirt swooshing everywhere as she handed out a sheet of paper and a pencil.

I began doodling immediatly after I recieved my paper-turns out, art can be pretty fun when you don't have to compete with someone else,much less your stupid younger brother. I started sketching a face for my character, and suddenly got a brilliant idea. It would be the absolutely perfect means of revenge for being such an obnoxious tomato bastard- drawing Antonio as 'El Tomato Bastard'! I smirked and decided it was an excellent plan that needed to be carried out at once.

"That's lovely, Lovino!"Mrs. Erin smiled brightly as she walked behind my seat. Hardly lovely. Antonio's eyes, or what I'd sketched of them, had little trickles of blood coming from the corners. "Thanks," I growled, though I was thoroughly enraged. Lovely? You call this- my masterpiece- my beautiful portrayal of the agony in this day simply LOVELY?!

I stood up angrily, ready to defend my picture and tired of the degrading term she had used for it."IT IS NOT 'LOVELY'! IT IS ALL MY HATE, EMBODIED IN ONE SINGLE IMAGE THAT COULD BE USED AS THE NEXT 'STARRY NIGHT'!" Bel-bel, who was sitting next to me, began to giggle, and I felt my face grow red. "A-AH SHUTTUP!" I screamed, as everyone else proceeded to burst out into fits of giggles. My words were true, even you who are reading this story cannot deny the truths of my statement! But even Mrs. Erin restrained her laughter and I restrained the urge to sob hysterically as if I were some stupid little girl. "I like your picture,Lovino! Antonio stretched over from his spot to look at my drawing. "Y-you are not supposed to-a like it!" I growled, or at least tried to(it came out more of a whimper). "Lovino...p-please sit down..you're..uh, disrupting the class,"Mrs. Erin struggled to ask politely, and I sat down on my chair. "They cannot treat me this way..I am the next Claude Monet!" I mumbled to myself, and Bel lightly touched my arm. "Don't worry, I understand your passionate rage.." Her green eyes held a little bit of a twinkle as she spoke to me. I was about to say something about how she wouldn't understand, nobody would ever understand, but right then the bell rang to get out of school.

Thank god- I was about to hurt someone.

I rushed out into the hallway quickly, hoping to avoid a run-in with Antonio.

"Hey, Lovino, wait!" When I heard that obnoxious Spaniard's voice calling after me I sped up some. nope nope nope no- I sighed and stopped as Antonio grabbed my shoulder, a bit too roughly in fact. "That was a really awesome picture back there," He flashed a toothy grin and I rolled my eyes. "Thanks, I suppose," I continued on walking, and of course he followed after me. The 'embodiment of my hate' really didn't seem to have an affect on him. "Hey, so Lovino, what are you doing after school? Me and Gil and Francis are gunna hang out at my place, and I was wondering if you wanna join too, because like I didn't want you to feel left out, ya know?" Antonio started walking down the hallway backwards so he could face me.,

"Sure, sounds good, I guess," I sighed, not really wanting to go, but if Mommy knew she'd yell at me if I didn't go-something about too much computer and not enough socialization. Stupid mommy.

"YAAAY!" Antonio smiled really wide and you could just tell he was really happy. It was kinda weird. He somewhat reminded me of a puppy.

It wasn't until I arrived at his house that I realized what a bad mistake it was of me to say yes to his invitation.

huehuehue. Hope you like bbies.
