Ever had the feeling that someone's watching you? When I drew this next picture, people were. You see, I have a compulsive need to get to class exactly fifteen minutes early. However, to make sure that I get to class fifteen minutes early, I get there twenty minutes early instead. So basically I had a good seventeen minutes of nothing to do before my class started, which is why I began to draw. When I started no one was sitting beside me. But slowly, slowly the other zombie-students started creeping their way over to the empty seats around me. I hit my awkward peak for the day when I turned to the left to hide the picture from the girl on my right only to find some giant blonde guy staring directly at my unfinished, third-grade level masterpiece.
I avoided eye-contact but immediately felt like that weird girl that's in every class. The one who has no friends, just keeps to herself and draws romantic pictures and writes out poetry and song lyrics.
Except I have friends, I just don't talk to them unless they talk to me first, mostly because it's ten o'clock in the morning and I'm still half asleep. And the pictures I draw are not of hearts and roses but of awesome fire-breathing, elephant-legged women and camels with no tails and dinosaurs licking trees!
...maybe that's worst.
Needless to say, I took a temporary break from drawing during that class and the picture I came out with is still awesome.
Fire-Breather Elephant-Legs can fly.
