"Savannah and I have it, too," pronounces Darren, smiling a bit. "So we can keep people shooed."

Isabella Marie Swan

"Thanks."

"You're quite welcome. Though I don't have notes for Art, so you are on your own there, I'm afraid."

Isabella Marie Swan

"Well, that bodes well, if it's more of a 'projects' than a 'theory and history' art class."

Darren Elliott Sanders

"Projects. I hope you like charcoal and acrylics."

Isabella Marie Swan

"I'm not a particularly miraculous artist, but I will get an A for effort."

Darren Elliott Sanders

"Good, though I don't think anyone can fail Art. I'm not even sure how they'd get to trying."

Isabella Marie Swan

"Cutting class?" Bella suggests, dropping her lunch trash into the trash can and following Darren to the correct building. "Deliberately drawing nothing but those S-shaped things you make with two rows of three lines? Bringing glitter gel pens from home and putting mustaches on their paintings of apples."

Darren Elliott Sanders

He giggles. "I kind of want to do the glitter gel pens thing, now."

Isabella Marie Swan

"It'd be cute in a sort of weirdass-modern-art way."

Darren Elliott Sanders

"It would be hilarious in a weird-modern-art way," he corrects.

They reach the building! It's definitely an art room, with large tables set up in lieu of easels, a badly organized open closet filled with various art supplies, and pictures of student work and the color wheel pinned to the walls. It's got sinks, on the side, because its an art room and people will get messy.

Table-sets seat four per grouping - Darren finds an empty one and sits there. Savannah will show up eventually, he'll save her a seat with his stuff, like so. Plop goes the stuff onto the seat next to him. Bella's entirely free to sit with him, or not.

Bella does sit next to him. He's comfortable and the exact right brand of distracting; she wants to be friends. "What project did I show up in the middle of?" she inquires.

Darren Elliott Sanders

Aestrix

He actually wants to be friends, too. Partially because she's personally agreeable, and partially because everyone else seems to have their cliques pre-made since kindergarten and it's nice to have someone who isn't a part of any of them.

"The teacher called it a fancy thing and I forget the name of it, but - basically, take a paper, cover it entirely in charcoal, then erase from there to get whatever the drawing is. It's very messy."

Isabella Marie Swan

Alicorn

"Sounds it. Do we have still lifes or are we doing portraits or what?"

Darren Elliott Sanders

Aestrix

"We get to pick what we do, but the teacher's got like a stack of things we can use as still lifes if we've got no idea what to do. Mine is a piggy bank."

Isabella Marie Swan

Alicorn

"Okay."

When class starts Bella gets a mirror, charcoals a paper, and starts doing a self-portrait. She's not especially talented, but she's methodical, eyeballing a grid on the paper and mirror to keep things spaced right.

Savannah Tiffany Sanders

Savannah manages to make it in just before class starts, moving Darren's stuff with a, "Thanks."

She waves at Bella, then heads off to retrieve her stuff.

Darren Elliott Sanders

Darren grabs his in-progress drawing and his piggy bank. The piggy bank turns out to be purple, with flowers on it. It's very cute.

He's not particularly skilled in drawing, but he's obviously making an effort and has a good grasp of form. It is definitely recognizable as a piggy bank.

Isabella Marie Swan

Alicorn

Bella waves back at Savannah.

She spends about half the class getting a loose suggestion of her features erased, and then she goes into more detail, diligently scrubbing away charcoal for the whites of her eyes and the highlit protrutrusions of cheekbone and lip and nose. It looks like she's staring at the viewer out of a void.

Savannah Tiffany Sanders

Aestrix

Savannah turns out to be drawing a potted plant. The pot itself is shaded a little strangely, but the plant turns out to be pretty, if boring. She's got more art skills than Darren, certainly.

"So, how goes the piggy bank of girly wonder?"

Darren Elliott Sanders

Aestrix

"I'm having trouble with the nose," he says. "And the piggy bank would like you to respect its life choices."
