The next day I woke up to another knock on the door "time to get up girls" a familiar voice sounded through the hallways. I remembered what day it was, getting up from my bed and waking up Isadora "it's art day!" I squeal
"Mm wow yea" she groaned half asleep, pretending to be excited. Today was art day, we spend the day painting and then they decide who the winner is, the winner gets $100.
It's not much and I'm not excited for the money, I'm just excited because I love art. I shower before the other girls, getting dressed into blue long overalls and a white long sleeve underneath, I wore my black heeled boots and layered gold necklaces with my hair in French braids
"You look like a little French Painter" Riley smiled at me as she emerged from the bathroom while I was braiding Isadoras hair to match mine "want me to do yours too?" I ask, gesturing to the hairstyle I was doing.
Riley nodded, sitting on the edge of the bed waiting till I finished Isadoras hair. When I did, I moved to Riley's "I'm gonna suck at this challenge" She confessed as I got halfway through her hair "you'll do fine! Just paint a purple cat" I laugh at her little skills in art.
"All done?" Riley beamed as I moved away from her. I nodded "yup let's go" I reply, leaving the room with Isadora and Riley, all of us having the same matching hairstyle. We went down the stairway to the main area together, students, college kids and teachers sat setting up the area where we're gonna paint
"I'm gonna go find Farkle" Riley stated before leaving us to look around. Isadora and I sat on the couches waiting until Mr Matthews spoke up "okay guys lets start the challenge! You have 2 hours to paint whatever you want" he announced with a smile, gesturing for us so go and sit at the easels
They were about 4 in each row, and also behind one another like a classroom set up. Isadora and I sat at the back one, Riley and Farkle joining in the spare easels beside us "we may as well not even start! We all know mayas gonna win" Farkle jokes as he picked up a brush
I blew a kiss to him before turning back to the canvas in front of me "not sure what to do?" Lucas' familiar voice distracted me from my thoughts. I turned to look at him "kinda" I pout "paint me" he smirked before walking off to talk to another student
"Do it I dare you" Isadora said from beside me "do what?" I furrow my eyebrows at her confused "paint him" she smirked. I sat there thinking for a few moments before nodding "okay fine" I laugh.
I turn back to the canvas, picking up a pencil and lightly sketching what I wanted to paint. I drew how he was sitting in front of the fire a few days before, with his matching denim jean and jacket look. I kept turning around behind me to get the details of the fireplace, drawing orange and red like flames on the canvas
"What ya think?" I ask Isadora, turning the canvas with the rough sketch on it. She smiled "it's actually really good" she said looking at the picture amazed "did you doubt my talents?" I question acting offended. She nodded in response making us both laugh
I sat there minding my own business for what felt like a few more minutes, this time using the paint in front of me to draw on the canvas. I mixed various colours together to create his olive skin tone, mixing blue and white to create the colour of his clothes
After finishing the majority, I added small details, like adding red to parts of the fire and adding a few darker purple streaks to the wood of the fireplace "okay guys! Times up!" Mr Matthews said from the front, talking into a microphone that has been set up
"That's so unnecessary" I whisper to Riley who nodded in agreement "so go chill for a few minutes while me and the college students decide who wins" he added, ushering us off to do our own things
