When She Says No

In Art Class Time Flies

   She walked into her art class and put on her smock before sitting at the easel in the corner, or as she would call it her sanctuary. There was a window right by her easel so she could see what she was painting with ease. Today she decided to use oil paints. “Hey Nikita would it be alright if I used you as a reference for this painting?”

    “Sure Calista, and you don’t have to call me Nikita you can call me Nikki,” Nikki had a bright and beautiful smile that she quickly flashed Calista after she responded to her question. Nikki was a sweet girl. She had always been nice to Calista even though they really didn’t know each other all too well, but they were always nice to each other.

    “Thanks Nikki. I just need a picture really quick. Do you mind leaning on the window and smiling for me really quick?” Calista asked looking at the girl that deserved to be in a painting she was absolutely stunning inside and out, so it only made sense for someone to want to paint the girl. She stood at 5’3 she wasn’t necessarily skinny but she wasn’t one who was made fun of for her weight, after all she did still have model-like features. Her face was a soft heart and her lips were plump and red. Her dark skin was clear and beautiful. She had a warm glow about her and her dark brown hair went all the way down to her waist and fell in soft coils.

    “No problem,” she said cheerfully as she walked over to the window with a soft sway to her hips. “Is this good Calista?” 

    “Perfect! Thank you.” Calista quickly snapped the picture so she could start on her piece.

    “No problem Calista,” Nikki said with a smile as she walked back to the table that the pastels were kept at. A table she was often found at and the face she made while she was working always intrigued all the boys in their class. Her lips always parted slightly as she was thinking of what colors to use and blend together.

    Calista started sketching what she had from the picture while changing the outfit in certain places and instead of jeans and a tee-shirt like what Nikki was actually wearing she gave the figure a short dress with sheer sleeves that only went her shoulders with a thin tool skirt covering the cloth one going down two more inches than were the original skirt resided. She sketched the way she wanted the sun rays to filter through the window before sketching out some quick flowers that would be a lot better once she actually started painting.

    Once she was done sketching everything out she grabbed a pallet and some brushes so that she could start to paint, but only got through painting the window and most of the flowers before the period ended. Nikki came over to her to see how far she’d gotten. She stood in awe at the work her dainty paint covered fingers had gotten done. They had a short conversation where Nikki sang Calista’s praises before they parted ways going to their third periods and shared a small smile and wave as they parted ways. Calista practically skipped to P.E. to meet her friends. A large smile plastered on her face as her hair bounced while she swiftly moved through the hallways. She waved at her friends before they all entered the Gym together smiling like idiots and laughing their asses off.
