Learning Something New

Part 14

Patton P.O.V
"Just a little touch here and there..." I murmured quietly to myself as I stood in front of my masterpiece. I took a step back to admire and evaluate my work.
"Well, Yes it's good but the shading in that corner is slightly too dark and the blue is not very exact at all. The blue that I used was a shade too bright. Aargh... What a shame!" I muttered to no one in particular. A voice from the back of the room disrupted my concentration but I knew who that voice was. I turned to face this person with a genuine, happy smile on my face.

"Woah... Patton... Did you really paint this!?" He asked me, shocked.
"Yes I did, Logan." I gave him a shy side look.
"Do you think it is good?" I gazed down at my brown shoes.
"Patton, this is way better than good!" Logan informed me with a small smile lingering on his lips. You see the one thing with Logan is that 99% he tells the truth so I knew I could trust him.
"Thanks Logan!" I hugged him tightly and to my surprise, he hugged me back.

"What do you want, Logan?" I asked because usually Logan only comes to me if he wants something like advice or an explanation for feelings.

"Well I was in the library wondering where you were. So I checked the whole school, in fact, this was the last room I checked." He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Well...um..." I scratched the back of my neck slightly embarrassed.
"I paint... Quite often, I just don't sign it so some off my work is in the hall but you won't know it is mine because I didn't sign it." I glanced back at my current painting and saw a big imperfection.
"Oh no!" I screamed in frustration.

I scrambled for my paint palette and paint brush and I got to work correcting this big mistake. Logan leaned closer to get a better look at the painting as well as what I was doing.
"Patton," He called, "How did you see that miniscule mistake?" He questioned me.
"It is not a small mistake, Logan! It is a giant mistake! I got the shading wrong!" I replied shocked someone could call that a tiny mistake, like, how?

"I think your painting is amazing!" He randomly blurted out. I froze. He thought that... My painting... Was amazing!? He was one of the first people who have seen my work and know it to be mine.
"T-thanks..." I stuttered in reply because I was taken back by the sudden compliment.
"Patton..." Logan said, grabbing my attention, "Yeah" I responded, "You should make a signature and put it in the corner so I can know it's yours." He said while gazing at my painting with interest mixed with amazement.
"Okay!" I agreed readily. So we went on for a long time trying to figure out my small signature which is going on all my paintings from now on. It was Pttn in cursive writing. I just felt like that was the one to is so I guess that is now my signature.

Logan and I walked put of the building deep in conversation and in partners.
"Logan thank you for helping me today!" I thanked him since that is the moral and kind thing to do.
"Wait... Why are you thanking me for?" Logan seemed really confused. I giggled at his cute response.
"Logan, today you helped my confidence and you kindly helped me find a signature for all my artwork." I explained while smiling widely.
"Oh... Okay!" Logan said but I don't think he actually understood.
"Bye Patton." He said while turning to me.
"Bye Logan!" I quickly and lightly pressed a kiss to his cheek and ran off in the opposite direction to him. What did I do?!
