After the nice meal Becky and I walked to the main hall for some entertainment the drama club had been working very hard for this grand opening.The best part of it was that it was free Becky and I loved either free or cheap stuff.Taking our seats at the front Becky wouldn't stop whispering every scene which caught everyone's attention.''Hey Becky can you keep it down please you'll get us kicked out of here.''It was too late the security guards had already spotted us.We had to leave the hall all thanks to Becky.After walking for a while still silent Becky decided to break the silence.''I'm really sorry for what happened in there,''she said sincerely.''It's okay the play was a little bit lame.''I said giggling .
We both laughed making our way back to apartment.After settling we both heard a door knock which was quite strange at this hour.Walking to the door it was my father. What did he come to do here? And did I care? pretty much yeah.''Welcome in,''I said really shocked.''We need to talk young girl I just heard you have been skipping law classes and that's not just it you have been attending the art classes which is far from what we sent here for do you have any explanation.My dream was now crushed,done for or how anyone would describe it.Who didn't know my father the famous Mr Fredrick Peterson I was now a disgrace to the family not having an explanation too ashamed to look at him I remained quiet.''Well well from tomorrow henceforth your going back to your law classes.After the long conversation he walked out.
Becky remained quiet due to shock.As crashed as ever I walked to my room thinking of what my father said but the question was did I care? pretty much no.I had made my decision on chasing my dreams and nothing would change my mind. Anyone would think that I am rebellious but not really. I wasn't the kind of person who found interest in letting go of what I believed so much. Becky walked in.''So what are you going to do''Becky said a bit worried. What I would have done a long time ago. I was to change the stereotypical believes of my father. The next morning music class wasn't quite interesting as before maybe my world had just gone a bit dull but something I didn't expect happened after class.An unusual notice was placed on the notice board.''Art competitions to start next week winners get a chance to attend the great artist convention.I stood there with my mind perplexed.After a lot of thinking I decided to join the competition.
''Hey Elsa,'' I heard a voice behind. Looking at the the source it was Alfred I hadn't seen him around for some time or maybe I was just too busy with my dreams.I wasn't sure if i was glad to see him.''I heard your joining the art competition?''he asked breaking the silence.Yeah I found it interesting and decided to join.After talking for a while we decided to get some coffee when Jay arrived I remembered what Becky said about them going to the woods every night.Jay always looked trustworthy but I knew he knew more information than anyone.The question was what did he know? but did I care not really I had a competition to win attending the great artist convection had always been my dream.They were to showcase art by famous artist's such as Vincent Van Gogh,Pablo Piacasso to mention just a few but art lovers would understand what I'm talking about but for the competition I was to try art by Leonardo da Vinci.
I was sure to win with my wide knowledge of modern art I would create an outstanding piece.I would be busy the whole week. After working on my piece for some days it was now ready.Many art designs were presented and most were really good even better than mine.Emmy had joined the competition and wasn't so pleased that I was also was competing dragging her friend Hillary along. As usual she was up to no good she hated competition more so from people who had more abilities than her.The list of the winners would be posted a week after the competition.
Fridays was everyone's best day most girls would go for shopping and the boys would chill around in campus I decided to have a walk in the nearby trees preservation center. A lot of different types of rare trees were preserved there.What surprised me was that Alfred was at the trees preservation centre. He never looked so interested in nature more or less plants.My eyes were fixed on him for some time till our eyes met I tried to avoid the eye contact.He walked straight up to me.I could not help but smile but what was I doing I had to stop any emotion before It got in the way of my dreams.How could I resist something that was basically out of my control.Just when Alfred went ahead to say a word a tall blond girl appeared behind him she looked really close to him and I couldn't help but ask myself questions and was his going to introduce her.''This is my new lab partner,'' he said.The girl looked a bit flirty no minute would pass without her looking at him and did I care ? of course yes. Though i denied it I really cared about Alfred and this new girl was no march for me she was a senior and was pretty much talented. For a moment I looked down on myself just to spare myself the emotional breakdown I made an excuse and walked away.
I wasn't sure if I was jealous of her.Anyway they were just lab mates I took deep breaths I walked fast to my apartment I laid on my bed after the hectic day. Becky came in she looked quite tired she didn't even say a word.To me I was still worried about what happened earlier when I heard a knock opening the door Alfred stood there.What was he doing here?Had he noticed how I reacted after meeting this new girl?
