Art class is fun ~ Brandon

[aliciamusa]

Alicia walked into Art class. She smelt the smell of wet paint. She loved that smell. She walked over to a seat and sat there. Alicia took out my sketch pad and a pencil. She stated to draw anime.

She lifted her head to look around at everybody. Some people were painting others were using oil pastels. The only other people ,that she saw, drawing were drawing people but it looked weird.

Alicia's attention drifted back to her work. She finished and lifted her head again. She saw somebody who caught her eye. Well most of the boys here caught her eye. Only this one was different. He looked almost happy. She smiled. This was her first day here and for all she knows is the boy could be a senior. Only he didn't look that old. He had to be a year or two older than Alicia. Alicia started to blush. Even though there was no reason for it.

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Art class, Brandon read his scedual coming back from his chemistry class, he loved the art class because it was one that always seemed to be fun. Full for bubbily people, and happiness. Brandon made his way to his locker and put his books in closing it. The small boy made his way through the halls, he was short but this didn't hold him back from being on the hockey team as a goalie, and this didn't stop him from being the schools dance team's head choreographer. Brandon smirked at his thoughts putting his hand on the door knob walking into class. Brandon looked at the easels. He walked over grabbing a piece of canvas paper and set it up on his easel, then walked over grabbing a paper plate putting paints of his color choice on it and also grabbed a brush.

Brandon walked over to the stool getting up on it, he dipped his brush in paint and started to paint a tree, he liked doing this with natural colors, as he mixed the green and brown perfectly he thought for a moment and brought the paint brush to his chin in thought. He scowled feeling the wet paint on his chin and he looked around catching a girl looking at him. Her cheeks were pink, and Brandon offered a smile and a friendly wave. The green paint on his chin, he soon forgot and he painted a bit more adding a blue sky with clouds in the background of his painting. Brandon looked back at the girl, he wasn't quite sure why she was blushing but his natural, hyper cheery self got up walking over to her looking at her drawing. "You like Anime too? That's pretty cool, what manga you like, any specific shows? Don't say porn, we'd be too similar." Brandon teased with a smile. He was always friendly, he hoped she wouldn't be shy, that would be a mood kill. "I'm Brandon Delvecchio, by the way, anime girl you got a name?" Brandon said his dimples sinking into his cheeks with every smile. The smile never left his face for the most part, only on rainy days when he knew he had to sleep out in the weather conditions.

[aliciamusa]

The boy had walked over to Alicia and seamed to like anime and manga just as much as her. Only she didn't watch porn. She giggled a bit when he said they be to similar if she did watch it. Alicia shook her head and said "No. I watch Vampire Knight. I also read all the book. A smile escaped her face.

She could not stop looking at the boy. She tried to keep her eyes on her work but her eyes would drift to him ever now and than. He was just really cute. He looked a year older than her now that he was closer to her. "Yea, my name is Alicia Carrier. She keep smiling and she watched as his dimples sank into his cheeks. It was so cute. Maybe Alicia could actually, have a friend who was more than a friend. Only she had a feeling, a feeling she got around all the guys, That this one was taken. Well she always got that feeling. Maybe this time it was wrong.

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Brandon listened, Vampire knight yes he had heard of it, it was more of a love story then action though. Brandon bit his bottom lip. "I like a bit of everything, Dragonball z, fruit baskets, full metal alchemist." He said just showing her his taste for anime he sat down and smirked a bit. He had dyslexia so he could never really read manga, he could only look at the pictures and if he was lucky someone would read to him. Brandon listened to her name, and he nodded. Noting it in his mind. "Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm a sophomore here, what are you? Brandon asked trying to make conversation, he saw she was looking at him with beautiful eyes and he couldn't help but to turn himself around and grab his canvas and paints off the easel.

Brandon walked back over to Alicia taking the seat beside her, he started to paint a bit more getting a bit messy with creativity. "So your new?" He asked the girl was cute but he had been here the previous year so he figured she was because he tried to talk to everyone and never had met her.

[aliciamusa]

Alicia keep smiling when she said, "I've heard about fruits baskets. I have seen a couple of the shows from that too. She put her head down and drew a little bit more before Brandon asked what year she was in.

"I am supposed to be a sophomore. My teacher and mom held me back because they thought I wasn't ready to go to 3rd grade." Alicia shrugged it off like it was no big deal.

Alicia drew a little bit more ,so she could get the picture almost done, before she spoke up again. He asked her if she was new. "Yea I am. If I would have let my dad do what he wanted. Well I wouldn't be here. He would would have sent me to a school where they practice the arts. Alicia pretended to draw. She didn't know what to say. He was cute and she didn't want to ruin anything.

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Brandon smirked and nodded, Fruit baskets was a bit more popular then then Anime he usually watched, he enjoyed things about zodiac signs and what not. Brandon watched her draw a bit more and when she spoke about being kept back in the third grade he nodded. "So we would have been in a lot more classes together bummer, at least we have one." Brandon said with a smile, he let his feet rock back and forth and he chewed the inside of his cheek when she talked about art school. "You know, I could never imagine going to a prep school, or an art school. Public is always more fun." He stated his opinion painting a bit more.

Brandon thought for a moment looking up at the clock. It had almost been lunch time, and he figured why not invite Alicia to have lunch with him, they had an hour lunch and he always tried to make it off campus. "We have lunch next period, there's a pizza, sub shop across the street, want to have lunch with me?" Brandon asked signing his name on his painting then he looked back up meeting his light brown eyes with Alicia's green ones.

[aliciamusa]

They would have had more classes together, if only her stupid mom would not have held her back. She had felt ready to take on third grade. She even had all A's and B's. She did not understand why her mom held her back. "Yea. I'm at least glad for this one."

Alicia said that and smiled. She never smiled as much as she did now. It was a great feeling. Maybe her dad getting that new job was a good thing. Even though at first she thought it was something to punish her.

Public is a lot more fun. Alicia had to agree on that. Only in private schools. Not many people make fun of you. Well that's not true. She did go to a private school but Most of the time people just made fun of her even more. "I agree public is more fun. In a public school you can wear what you want."

When she said that she looked down at what she was wearing. She was wearing her hooded jacket, a black shirt, red skinny jeans, and her Black combat boots. Yea she was kinda a goth but most people don't really care.

What really surprised Alicia was when Brandon asked her if she wanted to go to lunch with him. She blushed and nodded her head. "I would love too."

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Brandon looked into Alicia's eyes, he saw the sparkle when he asked her and he looked away his cheeks tinted with a pink color, he let out a sign and put his arm up allowing her to link arms with him and he started down the hall. Brandon looked at his locker, stopping dead in his tracks. He tossed his books in and grabbed his wallet looking around, then he caught a gimps of himself in his locker mirror and he smirked giving himself a wink fixing his messy spiked hair. When he was done he turned to Alicia and walked with her to her locker letting her put all her things away, then proceeded to go outside.

"So, what are you feeling like eating, I'm starving." Brandon said with a smile, he was homeless most of the time so eating once a day was always a good thing. But last night he played down town, he was a street performer, a talented bucket player, equivalent to a drummer. Brandon had the means to take this girl to lunch and when ever he took a girl out for lunch or dinner, he had to be a gentleman and cover the bill.

Brandon slid his hand into Alicia's and walked across the street holding the door for her to the pizza shop. He walked in and the waitress took them to a booth. Brandon looked around, he didn't need a menu he knew what he was going to get. "Get what ever you want, they have pizza, salads, subs, wings." Brandon offered looking into her eyes with a smile.

[aliciamusa]

Alicia just followed Brandon. She didn't know what else do. She didn't know this part of town like he did. So Alicia just followed. They walked in silence which killed Alicia. She did not like silence, but that's coming from the girl who doesn't talk to most people.

She blushed a little bit when Brandon took her hand. It was a shook at first. Most boys avoided her not wanted to hold her hand. The keep walking in silence. Which Alicia hated. Only that's coming from the girl who hates talking to most people.

When the walked into the place they were seated almost right away. Brandon asked her what she wanted. Alicia looked up to find Brandon's eyes. He had beaten her to it. She giggled in her head. She looked at the menu. She didn't know what to get. She looked back up and found Brandon's eyes. "How about you chose for me." She smiled again.

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Brandon listened and bit his bottom lip, he cocked his head and when the waitress returned he looked up at her. "I'll have two grilled chicken salads, Italian dressing you know the works." Brandon ordered as if the waitress knew him. The truth was she did, he always cam in a folded pizza boxes, on rainy days for dinner, and a couple spending dollars. Brandon wouldn't let his secret leak, he thought a pretty girl like Alicia wouldn't talk to him if she knew his position in life. Brandon was embarrassed slightly with his life situation, but he managed.

Brandon watched the waitress leave and when she did he looked across at Alicia, he felt distanced and he didn't like this feeling. Brandon got up and moved in the same side of the booth with her and smiled. "Sorry, I hate feeling alone or distanced." Brandon mumbled then smirked. "So Alicia, how do you like Degrassi, I mean it's okay I guess. Any crushes? You know boys you like there so far. Come on enlighten me on your social flirtation skills." Brandon teased with a smirk, his dimple sinking in his cheeks with every smile. Brandon was pretty popular, he ran the dance club, and he played ice hockey, this was an accomplishment to him, but now he wanted to know a bit more about Alicia.

[aliciamusa]

Brandon had ordered so fast it was almost nice. Before the waitress could leave Alicia asked for a root bear, no ice. The lady nodded than walked off. Than she saw Brandon move over and sit on the same side as her.

He doesn't like feeling alone or distanced. Well that was good to know. Alicia didn't like that feeling either but sometimes it was nice to feel distance from some people. Alicia looked at Brandon as he asked her a bunch of questions. "I like Degrassi. So far. Any crushes? Yea a few here and there." The last thing Brandon said caught her off guard. Did she even have any flirtation skills. Not really any. "Uh sorry I don't really have any Flirtation skills. I'm the kind of girl that hides in the corner of the class room. Hoping she won't be talked to."

When Alicia said that she tilted her head down to look at the table. Why was she like that. When she was little she use to try and be in the middle of everything. Only know she doesn't know what to do.

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Brandon listened to her talk about how she did like Degrassi, over all the school wasn't too bad. Just somewhat racist about Gays and stuff that's why he didn't intend to share his curiosity with everyone. Others just stuck to simple clicks, if you were in you were in if you were out you'd find you own friends like you. Some people even liked to split their hanging out choices as did he himself. When she spoke of being the one that didn't want to be talked to he cleared his throat watching the waitress bring her her drink, he got himself a mountain dew and sipped it before speaking. "Well if you were that girl that didn't want to be talked to we wouldn't be hanging out. So I think your wrong, you just don't want to be talked to by the wrong type of people." Brandon corrected with a smirk.

That was somewhat sad, he wouldn't like Alicia if she wasn't at least a little talkative. "The only way to survive high school is to make friends that might last forever, find out who you are. School is not only about doing work. It's about improving your social skills for the working world." Brandon thought out loud as he watched the waitress bring over their food, he poured some dressing on his salad and started to eat a bit. Brandon broke the silence with, "So what do you do for fun, what do you find passion in doing besides drawing?" he asked eating a couple more bites.

[aliciamusa]

That is what everybody says when Alicia tells them she hides in the back of the classroom. She is at the point where she just ignores them. She sat there sipping her drink. She took some bites of her food and than went back to her drink. She liked the food but it was just not for her. Lunch wasn't much for her anyway. Only Alicia did not want to be mean so she finished eating it while Brandon talked. When he said something about what she liked do a smiled went on her face so fast she didn't realize it at first. "I like to sing, And dance." She remembered passing both of those classrooms while she was in her "I'm lost" state. She didn't know what else to say. She never really talked to many boys. Only her ex and her crush. There were other boys she talked to but not many.

[Brandon Delvecchio]

Brandon ate some of his food, and he sure did eat fast when eating rarely and not knowing when your next meal came he tended to scarf down his food down til it was nothing. Brandon looked up at Alicia and when she answered his question he nodded. "Singing, and dancing...Dancing is fun, I choreograph for the dance team, you should come by sometime. I'd partner up with you if you think you could keep up." Brandon teased with a wink as he continued to eat, when he was finished he wiped his mouth and leaded back his stomach now satisfied. He slipped his drink and thought of another activity they could do together, it was an hour or so into the afternoon. "You got a fun side? You want to skip the rest of the school day and go in town to the arcade?" Brandon asked, his eyes locked with hers. He didn't want to be a bad influence or anything but one day wouldn't sure anyone.

[aliciamusa]

Alicia giggled when Brandon told her to stop by and dance with him sometime. She nodded her head before saying, "Sure I would love to dance with you sometime." She ate some more of her food before finishing it. It was good but not something she would like. She tapped her boot when Brandon asked her if she wanted to skip. If it would mean spending more time with him, Alicia was all for it. Alicia nodded again before saying "Sure. If it means spending more time with you then I'm all for it!" She giggled at her comment. Brandon was in the grade that she was supposed to be in. She felt like a little kid near him. Even though they were probably the same age as each other. She still felt like a little kid. She jumped when her phone rang. It was her friend again. She ignored it and put her phone back in her pocket.
