CHAPTER FIVE: ART CLASS

Clarita and her friends entered the art room and smiled when they realized that everyone including Nelson was already sitted and waiting for Clarita.

" My bad! I'm sorry I'm late!" she apologized briefly. She knew she wasn't late yet as there was still about five minutes before the class start but she already knew the guys loved the drawing class and would always attend it earlier than other classes . so, it was her bad for keeping them waiting.

" Its okay!" someone replied behind her and she turned to see the person only to see that it was Larry.

Larry was also the school hunk as he was as handsome as Nelson but he was a bit dull upstairs. He wasn't so bright with study but he was the best when it comes to sport and he was hot!.

The girls held their breathe When they saw him enter the class and some even stood up and rushed to him.

" Larry! its been a while!"

" How have you been?!"

The girls asked excitedly as it had been a while since they last him. He wasn't very frequent in class because he was a popular sport guy and he would always go for competitions!.

Larry waved at the girls briefly and turned toward Clarita . " Clarita! Rita, my best buddy!" he shouted as he created space amidst the girls and walked over to Clarita's side.

He grabbed her hand as he smiled warmly at her " Its good to see you again." he mumbled and patted her hair. It was his mode of greeting her and Clarita was used to it but she felt somehow today because of Nelson that was in the room and she wished she could push his hand away but she wasn't ready to disgrace him because of Nelson.

" Larry..." she called gently and smiled back at him as she stylishly freed her hand from his and took a step back but Larry noticed her action and he sighed.

" Clarita..." He was about to say another word when Bella walked forward.

" Larry..." she called sweetly and smiled at him but Larry was too focused on Clarita to notice her sweet smile and it pained her.

" I think you should let us start the class now, Miss Clarita or are you going to use the whole day welcoming your friend?" she asked with irritation in her tone and her friends chuckled.

" You heard her. let's start the class now." Clarita said to Larry as she wasn't ready to bicker with Bella at that moment at all.

Larry nodded and moved to an empty seat beside Nelson and sat down.

" Who will be the subject of drawing for today? who will be our today's model?" Clarita asked the students and they all turned to look at each other before four boys raised their hands.

" I will do it!"

" I look better, so I should do it!"

" No, I've never done it before. I will do it today!"

" No! it should be me!"

The four guys started arguing with each other on who was supposed to be the subject of drawing and they made the class messy with their noise.

Clarita looked at the four boys and wondered who to pick among them but she was really confused because she wanted to pick the best and she didn't want to be seen as a bias person.

" You...." she was just about to pick when Larry stood up.

" I will do it." he muttered and everyone turned to look at him with eyes wide opened!.

" You... You will?" Clarita asked with a raised brow. she was surprised that Larry was volunteering to do it when he was the school hunk!.

his volunteering caused an uproar in the class as the girls beamed with happiness that they were going to draw such an handsome guy and to be sincere, no one else could be better than him and he was just the best candidate for it, giving his athletic body and built.

" I will do it. " He said again and moved out to stand in the middle of the students.

" Shall we start?" he asked the stunned Clarita and she nodded.

" Yes... please. " she mumbled and smiled.

" Make a hot pose for us please..." Clarita urged and Larry nodded.

" Here we go!" he said and posed.

" whoaaa! so hot!" the girls couldn't help but comment on his good looks.

" Good...." Clarita nodded in agreement with his good pose and turned to the students.

" our theme for today is ... The face of models. I guess most of us here are aspiring to be models after our study right?"

" Yes!" the students replied.

" Good! lets start. draw accurately and perfectly!" she told the students and walked over to her own seat which was at the front and the highest of the chairs as she was supposed to monitor the students even while she was drawing hers.

Larry smiled inwardly as he stared at the retreating back of Clarita. " I will do anything. I mean anything to make you smile, Clarita and I know that one day, you will realize how much I love you. I will wait, Clarita. " He said inwardly and nodded in agreement with his heart.

He had started loving Clarita since their middle school but he had always been scared of telling her because he wasn't sure of it yet and the last thing he wanted to do was ask her out only to later dump her because he didn't love her. so, he decided to wait till he would figure out his feelings for her but he waited too long and Nelson found his way into her heart before he knew it!.

" I won't give up!" he would always say to himself and he never for once thought about giving up or loving someone else apart from her.

he looked at Clarita and realized she was deep in thought...

Bella also noticed the lost state of Clarita and decided to see what she was drawing... " Clarita!!" Bella shouted with anger filled voice as she pointed her hand at Clarita's paper.

" You are drawing Nelson!!" she shouted and everyone stood up to see...
