Re: Our Little Recap

I couldn't help but smile at that. "T-That sounds really cool!" He bought them and I changed into the clothes in a public bathroom on the way. I came out, having thrown the other clothes in the trash. I was wearing my first pair of converse. I loved them and found them to be really comfy! I was six inches shorter than with those boots. I was wearing my first pair of slightly loose fitting jeans and my first t-shirt in a very long time. They were really comfortable! <3

"There! You look great and so much prettier this way! You pull off casual very well, I'll see if I can get you some more stuff from Keely, she's been getting a lot of new clothes lately so maybe she won't mind parting with old stuff. Anywho, we're off to the art show!"

It was in a huge building with mainly white walls and peoples paintings and booths all over the place. I put up mine and set up my table for orders and how much people were offering for certain things.

"Have you ever been to an art show?" I asked.

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:08 pm

I gulped and shook my head. It was a lie, but I wasn't sure he wanted to know the real reason why I had been to an art show before. "What type of stuff do you do...?" I asked softly, trying to make conversation. I didn't want him to ask and I didn't want to tell him. I knew he'd regret talking to me as soon as he knew.

I watched him set his table up and wondered if I should offer my help.

"Mostly paintings but sometimes I like to build things and engrave stuff into wood. A while back I didn't have enough money for a time to get a wedding gift for my sister and her husband so I actually used the pottery wheel and made her a dinnerware set... it's top quality, not that I have a big head but other sets I've sold have actually sold for about fifty dollars..." I hung up the paintings on the wall behind me expressing different characters and scenes.

"But this is how I make money... for the time being anyway, this won't support a family."

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:19 pm

"Oh, b-but it's really cool! I wish I could do something like that. But I'm not talented in anything other than d-dancing..." I said softly. Such a lucky sister to get a handmade gift from her brother!

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:20 pm

"That could be fun actually, I can teach you how to use the pottery wheel if you don't mind getting your hands all dirty, but the powdery stuff mostly just washes right off!" I leaned against the table, "Want to? They have one here!"

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:26 pm

I gulped but nodded. "Uh, y-yeah... s-sure! That could be fun..." I crossed my arms awkwardly. How long was this guy going to keep up with this? No one's this nice... are they?

Lord, are there really people in the world that aren't out to hurt me? Please, I'm scared he'll be just like all the others. I don't want to be hurt again, Lord.

After selling a couple paintings I put up that I was on a break and took Kassie to check out the splatter area and then pottery wheels.

I was helping her with it and remembering back to when Keely was ten and I was eighteen, Dad had finally let me take her out for a ride and I took her to art classes where I showed her how to use different art materials different from her simple paints, we'd spent every year since then doing that.

"See? It's kinda taking a bowl shape now..." I commented as I showed her how to move her hands with it.

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:35 pm

I shivered when he moved my hand. "Y-Yeah, it's really nice- Oh no!" I twitched and the whole bowl fell apart! :( "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!!"

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:37 pm

I laughed, "It's just fine! Keely did that too, but watch!" I started to mold it in my hands again and bring it back up, it was a small shape and then it got a little bigger as I made the clay work under the pressure of my hands, which was pretty gentle.

"There we go!" I grinned and picked up some wire to start to add a bit of design to the edges of the bowl.

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:40 pm

I watched him closely. And nodded. "My hands aren't steady enough for that..." I said softly. "It's so much prettier when it's just you!" I smiled.

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:42 pm

"You'll learn! But if you don't want to we don't have to!" I stopped working and admired the shape it took, this studio was my home away from home. I put plastic over it and placed it on a shelf at the back with my name labeled there.

"So want to go play?" I asked, "We may get a bit messy though, but paint washes off!"

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:46 pm

"Oh... sure. But do you have any rubber bands? My hair already has clay in it..." I smiled a little. My curly white blonde hair was known to fall in my face since it was so long.

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:48 pm

"Yup!" I pulled it out of my pocket and tied her hair back for her, "Alright, off we go!"

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:50 pm

I stared at him, shocked, though not upset that he would pull my hair beck for me. "Uh-Oh-Okay!" I walked after him, amazed that I could still walk in these shoes. Normally after being in shoes this long, I had to pull them off! "I-I'm coming!"

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:55 pm

"I'm really sorry about that..." I said later, it was around six and I planned on taking her to meet my sister and then having dinner there, "I didn't know they were going to drop a huge paint balloon on the canvas below us..." We were both blue.

Like smurfs.

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:00 pm

I had tried to wipe the paint off of my face, but I think I just ended up smearing it. "Oh, uh... i-it's okay. It should come out in the shower!" I smiled a little and pulled at my hair. It was just one large clump of blue now that it'd dried. "Are you okay though? It didn't get in your eyes, r-right?"

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:01 pm

"I'm fine! There are four showers at my sister's house so we can shower there if you want to, I think they are making home maid pizzas tonight, those things are HUGE." I had really taken Kassie under my wing, but if she never wanted to see me again I honestly wouldn't be surprised. T-T

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:05 pm

"Pizza? I've never had it before..." I said softly, feeling like I was weird. Apparently everyone had eaten pizza before... but I hadn't. "What is it like?"

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:07 pm

"Amazing, if you haven't had it you must come, I think you'll love it!" I didn't know anyone who didn't love pizza. When we showed up at the house Zack opened the door and stared at me.

"Should I ask?"

"Nope!"

"Okay... shoes off, don't trail paint in the house."

"Where's Keely?"

"In the bathroom... again." He walked into the kitchen and I kicked off my shoes.

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:11 pm

I pulled my now paint covered shoes off and set them neatly beside Hayden's. A girl ran up to me and grinned. "Hi! I'm Katie! What's your name?"

"Uh... I-I'm Kassie Roland.." I said softly. "I-It's very nice to meet you."

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:14 pm

"Okay you've met Katie, that guy was her husband, Zack... there's Ian sneaking pepperonis, that baby over there is Sean Casey, his son and his wife Andy is probably in the den." Keely was walking down the stairs when I spotted her, "That's my sister, Keely!"

She waved, "You went to the art show?" She asked, walking down and favoring her stomach.

"Yeah! I tried to call you this morning but Eli said you were asleep."

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry. Who's this?"

"This is Kassie!"

"Hi Kassie! I'm Keely, wow another K, that's awesome!"

*Keely*

Hayden announced that he was going to shower and 'turn everything blue' and then ran off, "Do you want to shower too...? I can show you where the other one is."

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:18 pm

I shook my head. "No, I'm afraid I don't have any extra clothes. I'll just shower when I get home." I smiled. "Thanks though..." I rubbed my arm where it itched from the paint and glanced around noticing for once, no one was looking at me.

**Ikuar** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:20 pm

"We're almost the same height, I have something that will look really cute on you and I can help you with your hair!" I didn't want her to be uncomfortable during dinner. "Come on let's..." I stopped and held up a hand, "E-Excuse me..." I ran to the half bath and slammed the door behind me, nauseous again. A couple minutes later I returned and grabbed her hand, "Alright, let's try this again, to my room we go!" And then we marched up the stairs for serious make-over business! >D

**Jayrin** Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:24 pm

I followed her quickly up the stairs. My hair definitely needed help! "A-Are you sick or something?" I asked softly.
