Yuko just silent now after hearing the girl's words. I'm currently at home and while I'm feeling much better than before, at that very moment I started to feel some of my headaches have disappeared. At this time I also tried to stand up and then I stood right in front of a mirror. At this time I feel that now I am much better and my desire to paint is starting to come again. After that I walked to my room and immediately I also had the ambition to make something out of the ordinary. It was also at that time that I started with some of my paintings, after which I went back to painting others. It felt really tiring but it had to be done because there were only a few days left. This is the first time I have to make a lot of works and it's late at night. After almost finishing, I was reminded of a number of things that still look amazing to this day. That is the idea in my painting this time. I never thought that I would make a good work and I only felt that I could actually use it as a reference. After several times I made a new work, at that moment I felt real satisfaction than before. I'm happy with the result of my hand. Right now, I've been trying to make a work that looks dark but the concept will only give it a bit of a mysterious feel. While thinking about that idea, slowly my eyes start to feel tired and right now I'm trying not to fall asleep even I'm making coffee. Even though I should have done well, it was really hard and I can't lie about this. Previously I only made a few until finally my grandmother told me to make more. To be honest it's very tiring even now it's still not finished. There are some that I have done because of that in the previous days. But this time I found it a bit difficult and it took a long time. At the same time , I don't know whether to just make this or replace it with something else. After I tried to finish everything, at that moment I felt happy and then tidied up all my paintings so they weren't messy. To be honest, I still don't believe in exhibitions devoted to me alone. That's when I felt that actually this was a bit exaggerated. On the other hand I am also very happy and this time I have finished everything. After that I went back to my room. It's really tiring because tomorrow I have to go to school early in the morning.
"Gosh, my body is so tired," I muttered.
the next morning. I immediately walked and now I'm almost at the stop. It wasn't long before I saw that person and now we were looking at each other . Like that time, this person showed a beautiful smile and soon approached me. I immediately felt awkward because previously I had only met him when I was delivering paintings and now that person was right in front of me. I still can't believe it and think as if this is just a dream. I also noticed that the atmosphere was not in my favor and it only accentuated this person.
"I'm so glad we can be in the same class," this person said to me.
"Yes. I also still can't believe that we are in the same class. I thought it was a dream."
"Why do you think like that?"
"Who knows. I don't think I can accept the reality of all that."
“Wow, that's funny. By the way, before we were acquainted, I mean I introduced myself in front of the class."
"Yes. I already know your name before introducing myself in front of the class. so there's no need to feel awkward."
"I guess you're the awkward one."
“Eh?”
"I am kidding. How about your activities? Do you still paint such marvelous masterpieces as you did back then?”
"Yes. I still do."
"That's great."
It didn't take long for that person to enter the bus first and after that I entered. Turns out that person is not what I imagined. It's really unbelievable that the person who is my current customer is in the same class as me and that person transferred schools the day before. I still don't think that a coincidence like this would even come to me as if it was the surprise of my life. Even though I had some doubts about this, I felt that this wasn't something to be trifled with. After arriving, at this time I walked to school and then that person also followed me until we finally went to class together. At first I couldn't believe that this person was really nice either and after that I entered the classroom and some of the other friends were looking at me and also at Harumi. They seemed to be surprised and then I sat down on my seat as well as Harumi sat on Harumi's seat. The atmosphere of the class that has started to lively and now they are back busy with their respective activities. At that time I also felt strange with those people because I was not usually silent and not noisy. While I was watching them, Yuko suddenly came up to me and then said something that surprised me.
"What? where do you know that from?” I asked Yuko.
“There were several people who messaged me and recommended the place. looks like it would really suit you. Weren't you looking for references for your latest work?”
“Ah, that's true. but this is far away in Fukuoka.”
"So you don't want to go there?"
“I'll think again. The problem is only one. Time."
"You're still worried about that. Don't worry, you can definitely do well and besides I know you're someone who can make good use of your time too."
“Thanks for telling me. I am so glad."
"Yes. That is for sure. You can't be sad."
"Actually I want to go. I just don't know if it will be in time or not. Otherwise, it would make me very disappointed. You know that?"
"Of course. But if you don't want to go there that's fine too. You can go whenever you want and when there is nothing else.”
"I understand. You're right. Oh right, Harumi previously asked about my work again. Will that person buy again?”
"Hah? You can ask the person. Not me."
“I feel bad for asking that person.”
"Then just wait is it true or just your guess."
"Okay."
“But, now that I think about it, it feels really strange. Don't you feel the same way too?"
"I don't understand what you're saying. Feel what?”
"There are a number of things that until this moment feel very strange and I also seem to be dragged into them just like that."
"Hah? Are you dreaming?”
"No. I'm not dreaming.”
“Then what do you mean? I think there are things you should have said clearly.”
Ah, I know what you mean.
"Yes. If you know now, it's best to just keep it and don't reveal it."
"Why?"
“Others will just think you're crazy. are you perceived as such by them?”
“Don't be silly. I don't want to."
What Yuko said is true. Some people might find me really weird and they would definitely hate me. At the same time I don't want that to happen and now I have to keep my image clean and have nothing to complain about. In addition, I have gained a lot of fans thanks to my paintings that I exhibited during the festival. Not only that, they also now have many followers on my social media accounts and that makes me feel happy even though there are likely some people who really don't like me. I haven't focused on it at all ever since I felt this happiness. After I talked with Yuko for quite a while, not long after that I, Yuko, got up and left. I felt something might have happened to Yuko seeing her face that looked like she was enduring pain. But right now I don't want to interfere with Yuko's business at all and just let that person go . Meanwhile, Harumi was currently walking around the rooms of this school. Apparently Harumi together with the class president were introducing each room to Harumi who was a new student at this school so they wouldn't get lost. After that, they entered the art room.
“This is an art room. This room is only used when there is an art class and even if you want to use it only certain people can.”
"Certain people?"
"Yes. I mean only a few people who are active in the art club and they have the right to use this room without having to ask permission again."
"Ah, so it seems."
“One more important thing, there is a room beside this room which is none other than the biology laboratory. It's just a laboratory for practice."
"There are a lot of rooms and close together huh."
"Correct. that's why all the students are happy.”
"I already guessed. Turns out I wasn't the only one who thought that way."
"Okay. Now it's enough to just introduce the environment here. Then you just find out for yourself," said the class leader as he left Harumi.
