"Hey Kitten," I heard Peter say, snapping me out of my daydream. I turned from the window to look at him. "You didn't hear a thing I said did you?"
                          
"Not a thing." I answered honestly. He chuckled, giving me a lopsided smile. 
                          
"I asked you if you had a particular movie you wanted to watch. So far I have been choosing them."
                          
"Oh, ummm... Ever seen Empire Records? Or Dazed and Confused?" I asked. 
                          
"Was I born when they were made?"
                          
"Nope"
                          
"There is your answer Kitten."
                          
"I want to watch them."
                          
"I don't know."
                          
"You will like it. Lucas' sarcasm game is strong." I say winking at him, causing him to shake his head. "And it is truly a crime that you have not seen Dazed and Confused. It is a freaking classic."
                          
"Fine. But next time you watch Rocky Horror with me. Now that is a classic." He said. 
                          
"Deal." 
                          
"Ms DeMont care to share with the rest of us, what it is that is so important that you have to talk about it during my class?" Mr Ross said clearly annoyed. Sh!t, everyone turned to look at me. 
                          
"Um.." I start.
                          
"We were discussing the legitimacy of Queen Elizabeth's reign. She thinks that Mary Queen of Scots was the rightful ruler, but I honestly think Queen Lizzy was the true heir because she was actually Henry's daughter. Even though her mom was clearly a wh*re."  Peter cut in smoothly.
                          
"Well... I also believe that Queen Mary was the rightful ruler." Mr Ross went off on a monologue for 20 minutes about the legitimacy of the two Queens. 
                          
"Well done Peter, where the hell did that come from?" Alex whispered while Mr Ross went off on a rant about how Queen Elizabeth stole the throne.
                          
"Why are you surprised that I know things?" Peter said smirking.
                          
"I honestly thought you were just the brute giant of the group" I said smirking back at him as Alex laughed quietly behind me. 
                          
"Gather around children, there be learning happening. Want to distract Mr Ross, bring up the English Monarchy. Past or present." He said cheekily as I joined Alex's laughter.  
                          
The rest of History went by quickly, soon Peter was walking me to Art class, navigating the crowd expertly.  
                          
"Are you going to the dance?" Peter asked me sidestepping a student.
                          
"Nope"
                          
"Why not?"
                          
"No one asked." I shrugged my shoulders.
                          
"Hmm, interesting." He said as we made it to the Art room. "See ya Kitten."
                          
I waved at him as I entered the room. I walked over to my seat and sat down. Lincoln was hunched over his sketchbook focused solely on it. I pulled out my own supplies and started to doodle, not wanting to interrupt his concentration. Mrs Ponto glides in the room, looking excited. 
                          
"Class, if I may have your attention please. I am extremely pleased to tell you all about our next project. For it you will have to pair up, with your table mate." I looked over at Lincoln to see him smile as he paid attention to Mrs Ponto. "We are going to dive into Oil Painting. What I want to see is a portrait done of your partner. I will be grading you in two stages. First I would like to see you sketch the painting before putting the exact replica onto the canvas. I am not looking for how exact your portrait is to the model, but rather your use of colors, creativity, and technique. I would like you to take your time and not rush through it, so it is due on the last class before winter break. I will mark it during the break and let you know your marks when you return. Your sketches are due the first class after Halloween. Get started!" She said clapping her hands,  before sitting at her desk.
