596 Words
The students were busy doing the art class. They were painting everything they wanted for their academic performance. The other students were showing their talents well and few were getting this as a joke.
Nancy was painting a rose. She was carefully putting the red paint on the canvas.
"What's that?" Delilah chuckled. "It looks like a red pig."
Nancy gave her a fierced look. "It's none of your business." She saw her painting beautifully made. It was a garden filled with angels. She felt envy about her talent that was why she had an idea to destroy it.
"Well, let's see who'll get better grades."
Delilah finished her work with a signature and date. She passed it to the art studio of their art teacher.
"This is extravagant artwork! Excellent!" Her teacher was making her feel confident. "Let me take you to the art competition next month."
"It's a privilege for me, Ma'am. Thank you!" She smiled genuinely and left her teacher with a happy look.
Nancy was annoyed for Delilah. Later at night, she would do something bad for her artwork.
Erina was happily end her artwork with her signature. "I'm done!"
Riza saw her painting of the ocean. It was really beautiful too.
Nancy heard Erina. That was why she tend to look at it. Her envy became huge when she discovered it to be more beautiful than hers. She gritted her teeth for not being talented. She knew that she was pretty and admired by people around her but she couldn't escape the reality that she lacked something that others have. She felt nothing at that moment.
"Let's have sone lunch." Delilah invited Nancy to the cafeteria and smiled.
Nancy ate her lunch without uttering any word to her. "Any problem?"
Nancy shook her head. "Nothing. I'm just tired." She was forcing herself not to burst her anger. She didn't want the bystanders to look disgusted about her. She was the campus sweetheart that everydbody admired.
Zack finally came with a box of chocolate. Nancy grabbed his tie to the parking lot. She kissed him passionately until her hands opened his car. "Well, I'm hungry."
"Me too."
The guard was roaming around the parking lot when he saw the students at the CCTV camera. He whistled and that made them to stop making out.
"We'll resume later. I'll be facing this one." Zack got out from his car and asked for the guard to calm down. "We're having some issues here. Let us go."
"Just be on your class. It's about to start."
Zack nodded. "Yes, Sir. We'll get there in a minute."
"Later, babe." Nancy gave him a smack kiss and returned to the classroom. Zack chuckled at his foolishness. He wanted her when she was acting like that, playing hard to get.
The night was cold when Nancy went to the school. She avoided the CCTV cameras in front so, she went at the back to climb the wall. She fell to the ground safely and roamed around.
The guard was patroling around when she arrived at a building. She hid herself behind a tree. When the guard left, she entered the teacher's building.
"Where is it?" She roamed around but the painting was missing. "May be, someone broke into this room?"
She gasped as the guard was there. She hid herself below the table and mumbled not to catch by him.
The guard went far from the room and she was relieved. "I thought something might happen." She sighed when she heard a creepy steps coming from the door.
