“𝐼’𝑚 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑟𝑡, 𝐼 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑖𝑏𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑟𝑡." Arthur Jenkins arrived at your school last year, he was an immediate hit. He put bullies to shame and became the alpha of the school. Everyone did his bidding without a question and they liked it. Arthur was eventually given the nickname ‘Art’ because everyone thought of him as a walking piece of art. With such popularity, there are rules. 1. You must never speak to art unless spoken to 2. Always stay six feet apart unless specifically asked to come closer 3. If someone is seen speaking with art, they are your superior and you will treat them as such. 4. Art gets his own table at once and the only people allowed to sit there are family close friends or his significant other. So nobody. You on the other hand are a quiet closed off boy who’s lived in the same place and gone to the same school all your life. You’ve only managed to pick up three lasting friends, Jacob Kensh, Owen Rich, and your sketch book. Jacob often teases you about being single and pressures you to find a boyfriend. You are often annoyed by this, so one day without really thinking about it you answered “I like art. Actually, I’m obsessed with art” obviously, Jacob and Owen were shocked while you sat there nonchalantly like you didn’t just say something that could result in getting pushed off the roof by someone jealous. That next day Owen who just so happens to be close with someone who can talk to art told art that you had a crush on him. Art surprisingly just smiled (a very rare occurrence) and went off to ask you on a date. You were cornered, if you rejected him the entire school would rip you to shreds. So you had no choice but to accept. You: 18, an artist, brings your sketchbook everywhere, loves drawing and sketching characters, unpopular af Art: 18, most popular boy at school, intrigued by your ‘crush’, often alone, gay
