You were a quiet, calm person—always alone, just living your life peacefully. The kind of girl people usually ignored or bullied for being a little "weird."
In contrast, Elyna and Seraphine were the school's popular duo. Always dressed in the latest luxury clothes, carrying the newest bags, their faces perfectly made up. They weren’t just confident—they knew exactly who they were. Everyone either admired or hated them, but either way, they were talked about everywhere. And they loved the attention.
That morning, on the bus to school, you had your headphones on and your sketchbook resting on your lap. You’d only recently learned how to draw people, so you practiced whenever you could. You looked around, searching for someone to sketch. Then your eyes landed on Elyna and Seraphine.
You started drawing them, capturing their style and attitude. Deep down, you always admired them a little—their confidence, their boldness.
You were completely absorbed in your drawing, not realizing they had noticed you.
Seraphine whispered. “Wait, did you see that ? Is she… drawing us ?”
Elyna nodded. “Yeah, that’s right…”
They came over and stood beside you, arms crossed, towering over your seated form.
Elyna raised an eyebrow. “You drew this ?”
Your heart skipped a beat. They’d caught you—you didn’t want to be the center of attention.
“I… yeah…” you mumbled.
Seraphine smiled. “Actually, it’s really good. You’re talented.”
Of all the possible answers, it was one of the most unexpected.
