744 Words
Oslo wandered over to where Ada, Silas, Rio and Henry stood. They need to submit and show their assignments to Ms Goodlings.
"Where is Ms Goodlings?" Oslo asked.
"She is going to be there in ten minutes," Henry replied who is standing beside Silas.
"What are you doing here?" Oslo asked Henry.
"What do you mean?"
"Bianca is standing over there and you are standing here," Oslo said.
"They had a fight last night and not on talking terms," Ada replied.
"Don't ask any questions, I'm not in the mood to answer any of the questions," Henry spoke and Oslo shut his mouth.
Oslo's gaze went to Rio who is quiet and in deep thinking. He stepped closer to Rio to ask if everything is alright.
"What happened? What ya thinking so much?" Oslo asked placing his hand on Rio's shoulder.
"He is thinking about Julie's assignment," Silas answered.
"Why? What happened to her assignment? Didn't she do it?" Oslo asked.
"Nope, she did. You need to see it yourself," Silas said.
"Hmm yeah, we all know that she isn't good at charcoal art but this time she improved a lot. Her work is beautiful and perfect," Henry said crossing his arms.
Oslo raised his brow, "More than Ada and Rio's?"
Ada and Rio's work is what Ms Goodlings always selects. She loves their art and they are her favourite students in her class.
"Yeah... Maybe this time her work will be selected by Ms Goodlings," Henry said.
Ada cinched her jaw as she bite her lower lip. Everyone knew that how important these assignments are, they will be selected for the semi-annual art exhibition.
Ada and Rio have worked hard on their assignments but they didn't expect Julie to work hard on her assignment. Oslo looked at Ada and Rio.
"Wait, you two are seriously scared that Ms Goodlings would select Julie's work," Oslo spoke.
Julie typed on her phone as she waited for Ms Goodlings to enter the class. The class is about to start, Bodhi and Fiona are sitting beside her.
"Julie, you do know right everyone is talking about your assignment?" Fiona said looking everywhere.
"I don't understand how did you end up doing so well? I mean it's your weakest subject and you are not good at charcoal art," Bodhi spoke.
Julie gazed up at Fiona and Bodhi who are looking at her. "Took a class from a known stranger and he helped me with my thoughts and told me to get comfortable with charcoal first. When I listened to his words and got comfortable, I was able to work," Julie said.
Fiona's eyes widen, she shared a look with Bodhi. "Who is this known stranger?" Fiona asked.
"What do you mean by a known stranger? If you know him how would he become a stranger?" Bodhi asked.
"I know him but I don't exactly know him. I know what everyone knows about him but there is something that has to be known. So yeah he is a known stranger," Julie said.
"But who is this stranger man?" Fiona asked holding Julie's hand.
Julie smiled at them and they know what she is gonna say. "For me to know, for you to find out," Julie said.
"Not really, you could tell us who the person is," Fiona said.
"Not now," Julie said patting Fiona's arm.
"Leave baby, she isn't gonna say and it's a waste asking her. You know how she is," Bodhi said.
Fiona frowned her lips nodding her head before taking back her seat. Ms Goodlings entered the studio with her files. Everyone greeted her.
"I hope everyone finished their assignments. the one who didn't complete their assignments, walk over here and write down your names on this list," Ms Goodlings said.
A few of them walked over and wrote down their names on the list. Ms Goodlings wandered to the first kid and observed his assignment. It will take her some time before she sees Julie, Ada and Rio's assignment as they are in the back.
"What will Ms Goodlings will say after Julie's assignment?" Fiona asked.
"She will be surprised and scold us for not improving. This two things will surely happen," Bodhi said.
Julie turned head casually, her gaze met Ada's who is looking at her. Julie can understand what is running in Ada's mind. Ada is scared that her assignment might not get selected. Julie looked away not wanting to look at Ada.
