All Chapters of Paint me a heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Author's thought: "If you don't open yourself to others, you are missing out on the good things too."

I was not the prettiest girl in my town or some skinny model, but I understood art when I saw it. I knew how to click my own pictures, so I posed in front of the mirror. My full lips stretched in a bright, charming smile. I maintained that pose and clicked a picture with my phone. I loved the blue in my eyes. But still, I loved it more when I make photos and paintings with no colors. Just black and white, which was strange considering the fact I usually worked with colors. Maybe, I had to just admit that I looked nice when I smiled.

The bell rang, indicating that the history class was now over. I gathered my things, stuffed them in my backpack, and zipped it this time. When I got up from my desk, I saw the hot, new boy in school standing in front of me, as he patiently waited and also prevented me from moving.

The most exciting detention was over an hour later. I was both thankful and disappointed when Thomas went to help Daphne, the older girl, after he stated that ‘I painted his heart’. Whatever that was supposed to mean in his head."What a self-oriented, annoying...like he is made of confidence!" I bit out angrily as I climbed inside Lin

No light was needed for me to know that Tina's eyes were throwing lightnings my way. Anyway, she flipped the switch, revealing her angry posture. Her eyebrows were narrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line.I gulped at the thought of what cruel revenge she could master for me being here... and she didn't even know that I read her message. Hell was coming my way!"Your phone." I managed to say and pointed the desk behind me, afraid to turn my back to the mean angry girl.A realization went through her face as she traced my pointer to the device, and she let a sigh."I went to look for it. Where was it?!" She asked with a calmer tone, but she was still on edge. I can tell!"In the bathroom." I simply answered.I am no coward, but I don't want her wrath to spill on me. I don't want complicated... but I made it anyway."I know your secret, but don't worry. I am not judging you or anything." I said, looking down for some unknown reaso

 "Good morning, everyone," I said into my phone camera and posed for a picture. "Day one of twin sis makeover (TSM)" I wrote above the photo I just made and posted it in social media.I had my "Stained" T-shirt on, dressed like myself with my hair down and only mascara on. I wondered how will I look at the end of the day when Tina forces her fashion ideas on me.I went to the kitchen and grabbed a banana for the road. It's my favorite breakfast. Sweet, easy to eat when you are not in the mood and healthy. I like to get one "to go" and eat it in my car while driving to school. That was what I did today too, the only difference was that I spotted Tina in the yard when she was going to her car, and she actually said "hi" to me with a very big not fake smile. That was a first!"I will see you near the lockers at 14:30h, okay?" she asked and I nodded.At the parking lot at school, I was making a list of things that I can use for the project that c

As soon as we got back, we went to the dean and delivered the painting supplies that we bought on our way out of the mall. I actually picked some pretty interesting stuff that will really make our paintings to pop up from those old walls. After that, I went to my last class, which was Thomas free. The two classes I skipped was with him, so I haven't seen him all day.After school, I went to paint with others, and they actually enjoyed what stuff we got at the mall. One used glitter to make a snow sparkle, another placed small gems, instead of painting them and it made it look crazy realistic. Some electric colors that I bought made Daphne's northern lights just amazing. I was glad about my purchase and it gained me some respect from others in the project.My first idea was mostly in black, gray and white (no surprise there), and was a g

When the light stepped away from my red face, I hid it in my palms, unable to believe what just happened. I thought that those things happened only in movies, or when someone is getting engaged or something like that. This is so crazy!"I shouldn't have come!" I yelled, still hiding my face with my head bent down on Linda's shoulder."What?! What are you talking about? It was amazing! How many people do you think can get this kind of attention?" She yelled back, removing my hands, so she can see me. "Come on! Enjoy it while it lasts. It doesn't have to mean a thing!""I don't like attention. If he knew me, he wouldn't have done it." I pointed and risked a shy look to the band on stage."Who knows what it would have been? Does it matte

"So spill away," Alex said.I sighed, wondering how much I feel comfortable sharing."Well, you know the new boy at school, right?" I started and he nodded. "He is not leaving me alone.""How did he offend you?""He didn't say anything bad to me. Just I don't believe that he really feels the way he acts as he feels." I tried to organize my thoughts."You think it's a game to him?""What else can it be? He does not know me at all. How can he like me?" I stated."You should know that with us guys, things are a little different." He told me and turned to show me his smile like he was

 "You were at my house?" I questioned, standing up from the floor, with a brush in my hand.Thomas took his time to answer me, while slowly walking towards me with a grin. I could admire how his face lights up when he is smiling so charmingly if I wasn't so surprised and annoyed. He stopped in such distance from me, that if I just reach my hand, I could bury my fingers in his blonde hair."I had to find you and talk with you?" He explained, staring at my eyes for the reaction of his words."No, you didn't," I said and turned around to avoid his eyes... or hide mine."Yes, I had to! You disappeared last night. I thought that you would like the song I was singing to you." His confident voice said behind my back, but I just
