Julie's assignments
1018 Words
Julie groaned as her head is blasting, she is in great need of a coffee. She tried to keep her eyes open and listen to what Mr Hanks is saying.
"I have seen your junior's work. They were excellent, they didn't disappoint me. I hope you all being the senior don't disappoint me with your work. I have high hopes for you all."
"High hopes... My foot, I haven't even started working on his assignment," Fiona muttered under her breath.
"Yeah, same," Bodhi said leaning his chin on his palm as he looked at Mr Hanks.
"The semi-annual art exhibition is going to happen in these three months. The assignments that are excellent will be getting the chance to exhibit. Don't take these things lightly, if I don't find your assignments to the point, I will select your junior's work."
Rio tapped his fingers on his thigh, he is working on the assignment but he isn't sure if he should continue to work on it or he should start a new one.
"What's with the look?" Oslo asked.
Rio turned his head and looked at Oslo. "I'm not sure about the assignment that I'm working on. I wasn't serious while I was working on it. I think I need to start a new one," Rio spoke.
"You sure? We only have a week to submit," Oslo said.
"I can finish it," Rio said.
"Then it's fine, if you wanna do another one do it."
"If you all have any doubts, you can ask me for guidance. But keep in mind that I will only select the perfect one's," Mr Hanks said.
"Old fart, only perfect ones my ass," Fiona cursed.
Julie shook her head and closed her eyes as she isn't able to tolerate her headache. "You okay?" Bodhi asked.
"Hell, it hurts like b***h," Julie said.
Mr Hanks stopped talking, Rio and Oslo turned their heads to see Julie. Fiona's eyes widen when she realised how loud Julie's voice was.
"Should I go and bring a coffee?" Bodhi asked.
"What is hurting you like a b-word, Ms Alonso?" Mr Hanks asked.
Bodhi and Julie turned their heads, looked ahead to see that everyone is looking at them.
"My head, Mr Hanks," Julie replied blankly.
"If you are not feeling good, step out of the class. But don't disturb the whole class," Mr Hanks said.
"Okay, Mr Hanks. Thank you," Julie said.
"Please leave, Ms Alonso," Mr Hanks said.
Julie picked her bag, packed her belongings and stood up from her seat. She left the class with her belongings. The class is going to end in twenty minutes anyway.
Julie went to the cafeteria where she can get her coffee. She needs coffee and sleep, her phone vibrated but she didn't check the phone.

"What we gonna do?" Bodhi asked. Julie silently ate her sandwich.
"This tastes like s**t," Fiona complained eating her veg sandwich.
"I told you before not to order that. Eat the other one," Julie said.
"Girls, listen to me! What we gonna do now," Bodhi said.
"Do what?"
"Do what?" Julie and Fiona said in unison.
"Assignments girls! We are having classes every day, they aren't giving us time to finish the assignments. When we are going to finish the assignments," Bodhi said.
"I don't know, we will finish in the apartment," Fiona said placing her hand on Bodhi's hand.
"What about you?"
"I will work in the studio. Don't worry about me, I will finish them in time," Julie said.
"She isn't us, she will finish the assignments. Worry about you and me," Fiona said.
"That's what I'm doing. We need to leave early and start the assignments," Bodhi said.
"We will leave after finishing this sandwich," Fiona replied.
"I will leave too," Julie said.
They stayed back for an hour before Bodhi and Fiona left. Julie wandered towards the studio. There were people standing outside the studio smoking.
She greeted them and they greeted her back before she stepped into the studio. She looked around. they weren't many people in the students.
Only a few of them are there setting up their canvas. Julie placed her bag down, pulled the apron from the desk and put it on.
She started piling up her canvas and paint bottles out. She is yet to work on her charcoal assignment. She tried but she wasn't happy and satisfied with the end. She decided to redo the charcoal assignment when she is in a good moodl=.
"Hey, Julie," Silas said.
Julie turned her head to see Silas and Ada. "Hey, Julie," Ada said.
"Hey, guys," Julie said holding the brush.
"Working on whose assignment?" Ada asked.
"My assignments," Julie said with a bit of sarcasm. Silas rolled his eyes.
"Obviously you are working on your assignments. But are you doing Mr Hanks assignment or Ms Goodlings?" Silas asked.
"Mr Hanks."
"Nice, we are doing Mr Hanks assignment too," Ada said wrapping her arm around Silas' arm.
Julie gave a smile nodding her head. "Good."
"And tomorrow Silas and I are holding a party in Silas house. You are going to be there right?" Ada asked.
"Yeah, maybe," Julie replied.
"See you around, Julie," Silas said.
"Yup."
"See you, Julie," Ada said.
"Yeah..."
Julie doesn't have any problem with Ada and Silas. It's just that she dated Silas and Ada becomes clingy whenever Silas talks with Julie. Julie doesn't like when Ada behaves like that.
"Should I work here or somewhere?" Julie muttered under her breath.
"Ada babe, I only love you. You don't have to feel insecure when I talk with Julie," Silas said kissing Ada on the cheek.
"Yeah but," Ada replied.
"I would never love here. You are the only one that I love and will love," Silas said.
"Okay."
Julie cannot go and work in her dormitory. She doesn't have any option other than the studio. "Just ignore them and work," Julie told herself.
Julie pulled her AirPods out and used them ignoring everyone in the studio. She needs to finish her assignment today so that she can work on another assignment.
