Art class went by so fast.

It was one of the hobby I truly enjoy.

Our instructor gave us a quick objective for the entire year and what to expect on his class.

He was actually not much of a talker but I can say he's really kind.

So in the middle of our art class, he gave us some time to catch up with our other classmates just as long as we make sure to keep our voices down to not interrupt other ongoing classes.

I plugged in my earphones and listened, while I drew an angel.

Because when I do, it automatically reminds me of him.

I'll be your light in your darkest hours. I scribbled below the sketch.

But now I'm in the dark and I no longer see any light, will you still come for me?

I drew a sad angel's face.

I'm willing to wait for you. No matter how long it takes.

"That's an extraordinary picture you got there Vermilion-san. It almost looks like the real thing." Our instructor complimented.

Everyone turned to our direction.

I was surprise for a second and covered my sketch then I relaxed.

I didn't even noticed that he was standing right beside me.

"You know it looks better if you draw it smiling." he said smiling gently.

"But, I know to myself that every piece of brilliant art has a story behind It." he winked.

"I'll keep your suggestion in mind." I said quietly.

He nodded in understanding then walked away.

Levy-chan and Erza walked over towards me and tried to see the picture.

"Whoa! I never knew you can draw this good!" Levy-chan says in full awe.

"I always knew you excelled in everything, but I never knew that you were this good!" Erza complimented still looking at the picture.

Everyone in class started to peek on the picture and I tried to catch it but it was grabbed by Pinkie and Fullbuster-san.

"Sugoi! It looks so real! But, why is it sad?" Pinkie asked and looked at me with his eyes full of wonder.

"This looks like a masterpiece, Vermilion-san!" Fullbuster-san says with eyes filled with respect.

"Thanks. Levy-chan and Erza." I say shyly.

I looked at the two boys still looking carefully at the sketch.

"Thank you Pinkie and Fullbuster-san." I said awkwardly.

"Call me Gray." Gray says while smiling widely.

I nod in recognition.

"Oi! Call me Natsu! Not Pinkie!" Pinkie commanded.

"Nope. Not happening." I stared at him seriously as I say that to him with a dead tone.

Gray burst out laughing and Pinkie scowled at him.
