Wimothys POV

When I was 13.

I couldn't care less about what people thought of my work.

I was that carefree.
.

.

.
Young wimothy- hey dad! Check this out! I made this the other day!

Wimothys dad- you did? It looks amazing like always!

???- hey wimothy! That looks so good!

???- I love your style!

Young wimothy- aww thanks guys!

.

.

.
My dad and my friends said that it was really good

And they wished they were like me.

I thought the same too.

That's when I felt it. . .

.

.

.

Teacher 1- this looks so good wimothy! You'll pass this project for sure.

Young wimothy- you really think!? Thanks!

.

.

.
Fame, notoriety, the feeling of being recognized for my talent.

I thought the same as other people.

But. . . I was wrong . . .

Professor- what is this!? You really think people are going like this!? Are you blind!? I can practically count how many mistakes there are in here!! What is wrong with you!?

Young Wimothy- i-im sorry professor. . . I swear I'll make it up to-

Professor- there's no making it up to me!!  You're out of this class!! I should think twice when I put newbies in this class, might as well quit while you still can!!
.

.

.
According to my professor

Who berated me for every mistake. . .

It was very frightening.

.

.

.
Wimothys dad- wimothy? You've been in there for hours, are you alright?

Young wimothy- Leave me alone dad!
.

.

.
I cried for hours after I got kicked out of that class

I vowed never to take it again

My friends keep telling me she was in the wrong.

Was she really though?

She said "might as well quit while you still can!"

I wanted to prove her wrong.

By making the perfect painting, and getting noticed for it.

Never let them tell you it's fine.

But now?

I steered this beautiful project. . .

Into one giant nightmare.

Have I really caused all of this?

Have I been trying to hard?

What. . .

What. . . Have I. . . Done. . .
