Stranger and Sketches

What If?

It was beautiful day, so I decided to spend my lunch at the back of the school. When the bell rang for lunch I bid goodbye to Seung Hyun and took my book with me. As I walked towards the back of the school, I found a big tree near the bushes and decided to lay there. For a while, I just laid down on my back, and stared at the sky. I started to think things again, school, family, things that may happen in the future. I told myself to stop, since I came here to relax, rather than add too much stress on myself again. So I closed my eyes and made myself sink in into the soothness of the afternoon. The wind caressed my cheeks, the rustling of the leaves were a bit comforting in my ears and the sweet sweet serenity was luxurious for my part. 

After a few minutes, I sat up, and took my sketchbook that was beside me and started drawing. Actually, it was more than just a sketchbook, it was more like a journal. Every thoughts I had was shown in these pieces of paper. Seung Hyun thinks it's weird for guys to keep a journal but he never teased me about keeping one. Maybe he sees it as an exception for artists.

I let my hand guide me on the blank piece of paper. This time, I never thought of what I was supposed to draw, this time, it came from the heart. It just came automatically. The contours of the face was made to perfection, with angles and curves, the eyes holds the innocence of a child and the sweet smile pulled you through oblivion. I was about to finish her hair when I heard somebody's footsteps coming towards me. 

"Pretty," said a gentle voice. I turned around and there was a girl standing there. I quickly stood up, hiding my book behind my back. She was still staring at me, with her smile on her face. I tried to observe her. She was small, her hair was straight and long. She was very young for her age, and looking at her blue ribbon, she was indeed a 2nd year. 

"What's pretty?" I asked.

"Her." She said, pointing at me. 

I got worried, I clutched my book tighter. "Please don't tell anyone." I begged to her.

"One condition. Just continue what you were doing, I kinda wanna see how she'll look like when you're finish." 

I was surprised on what she asked. I hesitated doing it, I never draw in front of anyone, especially strangers, only a few people only see me do it, even Seung Hyun rarely see me holding a pencil. Of course I didn't want to do it in front of her since it was private.

I glimpsed at her, and she was staring at me, expectant. I guess I have no choice. I sighed. I took my book out and started drawing. She came next to me. She didn't say anything while I was doing it. After finishing it, I immediately show it to her. 

"WOW." It was the only thing she said when she saw it. "You have real talent. Like I've never seen anyone even finishing something like this in an hour. I can tell you perfected every nook and cranny of her face." She smiled, sounding amused. 

I felt a little happy, it was my first time showing one of my pieces to a stranger, especially this one. 

"Are you even going to take Drawing as you major?" She asked unexpectedly. 

"I don't know yet."

"Well I'm hoping you would. Maybe I'll see you there." She grinned.

I didn't answer and she wasn't also expecting one, instead we just sat there, beside each other. We were both enjoying the tranquility of the moment. When the bell rang, I held out my hand to help her stand up. She looked up and responded with my gesture. We walked by each other, until we reached the stairs. "Goodbye stranger." She said. She went upstairs without a second look.

So my fate of being discovered is in the hands of a nameless stranger.
