Another day, another fresh start here in Hartfeld University. Here in my bed as the sun rays goes through the window and shines in to my face. I woke up and check on my phone.. it’s already 8:00 .. hmm pretty early I guess. I easily get up and go straight to the bathroom just to wash my face and brush my teeth. Just like home doing all these routines but I know here in Hartfeld it’s different. Why? well of course our rooms with my suit mates are basically all together like we can hear things through the wall.. for example at the bathroom we can clearly hear Kaitlyn singing , actually all over the dorm we can hear her. I was about to head back to my room when hear Zack calling me.
“Yo Abbie! come have breakfast with us on the roof top!”
“Okay , I’ll just go get something and be on my way”
“Please hurry , we have some important things to discussed”
I hurriedly went to my room and fixed my hair and grab my phone and head off upstairs. Everyone was here including Tyler. I greet everyone a good morning and sit beside Tyler. The coffee table is filled with stacked pancakes with maple and chocolate syrup and a slice of butter on top , the other one has a topping of whip cream and some fresh sliced strawberries and we also have some french toast and some orange juice. Then Kaitlyn asked what is Zack’s important thing to discussed about.
“Okay Zack spit it out , what’s the discussion about and why is it so important?”
“Well my friends, Today there would be a festival here in Hartfeld as I remember , right Chris?”
“Right , I totally forgot to tell you guys , my apologies”
“Nah.. it’s okay , anyway! I know Abbie would love this event , because it’s Art’s Week!”
I suddenly stop eating my pancakes and my eyes wide open and jaw drop
“Is it today?! Oh no!.. OH NO, OH NO!”
“Hey.. what’s the matter Abbie? are you okay?”, MC asked.
“N-no MC.. I kinda forgot that I have entered an Art Contest and it totally slipped off my mind. Now what would I do?”
“Fear not! the festival starts at 12 noon anyway so you have plenty of time for your artwork and also people with the booths have also the time to set-up”, said Zack.
“I don’t know Zack..”
“And why is that ?”
“Ugh! .. well our theme is about ARTISTIC LOVE, and I have so many ideas but I think it was way out of the theme and FYI painting is not that easy like you’re just gonna grab and pencil then draw and Voilà !! an artwork”
“Well I don’t call myself an artist so yeah!”
“Well guys I think I have an Idea”, said Tyler.
“What is it Tyler?”
“Well I wanna help Abbie on this but I need all of your participation. I was planning that we all write some ideas that could fit to the theme and Abbie can just pick for the best one”
“T– that’s a great idea bu– “
“Say no more Abbie! don’t say a word were gonna help you with this no matter what right Tyler? *winks winks* ”, said Zack with a grin on his face.
“Heh.. Totally”, said Tyler with a sweet smile on his face.
Tyler looked at me and smiled, It makes me blushed. He holds my hand and give me a quick kiss on the cheek
“Awww! stop it guys I can feel the ants are about to invade our dorm!”, said MC.
“Hey! don’t forget to invite us to your wedding!”, said Kaitlyn while humming the wedding march.
“And if both have a baby , I’m gonna name it! maybe Azur– “, sai Zack.. but it was interrupted by Kaitlyn.
Quickly Kaitlyn covers Zack’s mouth before he could say anything
“You know Zack , time to finish your breakfast and in fact you’re not gonna name the baby because you give horrible names!”
As said by Kaitlyn and stuffed a piece of french toast on Zack’s mouth
“Mhhmpprph.. !! mrrphh.. mhmmp!!!”
“Don’t talk when your mouth is full Zackster”
Everyone started laughing and after finishing their breakfast they started to help me to gather ideas for my artwork
We head back down stairs and we all sit in the couch and grab some pens and papers and started drafting and brainstorming for a fresh new ideas. It took us almost 30 minutes and all we got mostly is a painting of a couples, it’s either they were at the beach, two artists shared a kissed under the Eiffel Tower , and lastly.. paint me one of your french girls.. it was Zack’s idea btw. I know they had a hard time on this and I can’t complain or blame them. It’s my fault anyway and I need to find a way to paint something before the festival starts. I didn’t picked any of their ideas because it’s way too common and assuming the others would paint like that.. and also I kinda don't feel it, so it’s up to me to do this.
I quickly get my art supplies.. my canvas , my paint brushes , pencils , paint, some dry cloth and also a cup of water. I started setting up the canvas and start sketching. The others went outside to preparing for the festival as well like the decorations , the set-ups of the chairs and tables , the refreshments.. everything and I was left all alone here, but a peace and quiet will do the trick. 2 hour later .. aaaaaand.. i’m still stuck! I don’t know what to do! I don’t have enough time to finish this.. Arrgh!!! I HATE ART BLOCK!
I give-up.. maybe I would just have to back out .. I can’t think of anything that is so unique that could perfectly fit to the theme. I was so distracted and irresponsible that I forgot about the contest. I sigh for a moment.. I need a break.. I suddenly grab my earphone , plugged it into my phone and play some music just to let all my frustrations and also my stress go away. I just need to relax for a moment.

I pause of a moment then I lay down on the couch and stared at the ceiling, wait.. this song.. Aww.! it reminds me of Tyler. Well kinda.. actually it is. I remember the first time we met at the dorm , I never even knew he would be my suit mate, but I was cool with it. I remember the time we’re at the roof top at night and Zack accidentally pushed me and he catches me before I fall. That was a quick save but my heart pounds so fast. He was very shy at first, but a for a long time he get used to it and be more comfortable around us including me but he seems acting kind of different around me, I don’t know what he’s thinking.

After all the crazy things happen that quarter, I remember he broke my heart knowing he is with Leila.. together. But then again , he realize that she was pain in the butt and I never expected that he would chat me online and make video calls together. My feelings for him gets deeper and deeper until I started confessing that I liked him and he does the same thing. We started dating after that and it was the happiest thing I ever experienced.
As i keep listening to the song I join in and started singing the chorus.

That part of the lyrics was too good and relatable as well. I haven’t sing for so long.. until now! it was fun and can feel my heart pounding because I can imagine Tyler in this song.I loved him.. so soooo much. He’s smart , jolly , nerdy, cute and also a lovable and caring person that I’ve always dreamed of being with. He’s a keeper I must say , and that what makes me say “Yes” to him. He is so irresistible and I can’t help it but to be with him all day. But then I was shocked.. I hear his voice.. oh no did he–
“Hey Abbie!”
“O-oh hey Tyler! what are you doing here?!”, I panicked and quickly sit straight up.
“Well I know I was helping for the preparations , but I can’t help it not seeing you.. well not helping you with your problem. I keeps bugging me and they said it’s okay that I should head back to the dorm ,and be with you because I know you need someone to be with you.. to have a company”
“T– that so sweet of you Tyler.. but how long have you been standing there?”
“Quite long I guess.. I see you laying down the couch then started singing”
My face turns red and tried to hide it from him
“Pllleeeaaaaase ..don’t tell anyone what you see and heard”
“Heh. I promise.. but I never knew you can sing like that, You have a beautiful voice.. well almost beautiful as you”
“Aww stop it! you’re making me blush”
“So let your self blush , just wanna cheer-up my girlfriend you know?”
“I won’t stop you for doing you boyfriend duties.”
We pause for a second then we began to laugh
“So what’s the plan Abbie? the event will start about an hour”
“I was thinking.. maybe I could back out?”
“What?! no don’t! you need this Abbie.. you’ve waited this event for so long”
“I .. I know but I don’t have any idea.. just look at it! it’s full of sketches.. pretty messy but still the idea and the theme isn’t very clear at all.. I feel like giving up”
Tyler holds my hand and press it tightly and looked into my eyes
“Look.. Abbie I believe you can do this. You’re are Artist! I know you don’t call yourself like that , but maybe at least give it a try? I can help you! I’ll be there for you”
“Tyler.. Well okay let’s do this! you’ve just boosted up my confidence”
“Awesome! now what do we do?”
“Hmm.. having an Art Block can be pretty tough.. maybe a little abstract shall do the trick! here..”
I him some paint brushes and some paint , and also an apron
“Okay it’s very simple Tyler , just keep splashing colors around the canvas , it depends on what or how you will do it”
“Okay boss!”
You suddenly began splashing some red and blue paints in the canvas but with too much force the colors are flying everywhere and it caught on to my face!
“Hey ! ! !”
“O-oh! uhh!! s-sorry Abbie! here let me wipe th– “
You’re about to wipe the paint off to my face then I attack!
“Take that! !”
“W-wha?! “
I dip my hand on to the can of paint and wipe it on to your face
“You will regret that you know”
“Ha! let the war begin!”
“Oh! it’s on now!!”
We suddenly splash each other with different random colors we can find and get, we even mixed some of them. It’s like were having a paint ball war or something. The whole living room is filled with bright and vivid colors and it would take a looooong.. time to cleaned it up but we just ignore it and keep splashing and splattering colors on to each other. We both shared a good laugh and then we feel exhausted. But I didn’t even realized that we just cover up the whole canvas with different colors , random strokes and splatter. I take a closer look.. well looks abstract to me. Then he tapped me on to my shoulder.
“Hey Abbie , let’s draw some random doodles on it”
“That’s a great idea, since all of the colors are bright.. we should probably used some black paint to doodle.. here and some brush”
“Okay! hm..I’m gonna draw a little spaceship!”
“Ohh nice one , I probably draw some planets on it”
We continue doodling ..we even draw different random stuffs like dinosaurs , flowers , airplanes , boats , Wizards that is fighting a sorcerer , mermaids with wings and has a huge horns and so many more.. we’re almost done but suddenly he pulled my hand and dip some paint and place it in the center and you did the same. I realized in the picture.. everything is filled with random stuffs and random colors.. but at the center, only our hands are visible and noticeable. I find it perfect and my eyes started to teared up.
“Hey why are you crying?”
“I-it’s just.. I was so busy thinking what should I come up with and I got distracted from that.. we had fun and now.. we’ve created this master piece”
“Can I call myself an artist now?”
“Ohh Tyler!”
I lean to him and kiss you on to his lips and gently hugged me tight and kiss me once more. After that we do the nose-to-nose thing and giggle
“Well it’s almost 12 noon , shall we bring our master piece together?”
“It would be a pleasure , lets go!”
We hurriedly go to the festival in time, thou both me and Tyler are a little bit messy but we just ignore it, and finally I just placed the canvas on the stand just in time and the festival started and so as the contest. The host and judges carefully examine our painting. Most of them aren’t really an abstract more like semi realism and different styles. I guess mine was different after all. After a minute one judge asked about my artwork.
“Excuse me Miss Abbie? am I correct?”
“Yes Sir.”
“I know you’ve just observed to yourself that your work is different from the others, but how come? can you please tell us”
I was nervous and terrified at first.. but then I look down and saw my friends.. and Tyler cheering and supporting me. I take a deep breathe and start answering his question
“Well as you can see , everything looks messy.. it’s a mess. Actually it reminds me of.. "myself". Sometimes I can a mess or make a mess. I was so frustrated while creating this.. it almost made me give-up, but there is one person who helped and motivates me that I shouldn’t give-up that easily because he believed that I’am an Artist. That I can figure things out even it’s very difficult. Like solving a hard math equation or figuring out how to give solution to world hunger. Instead of thinking new ideas that can be easily approached by the viewers eyes. WE tried to do an abstract. We splattered and splashed colors all around , we even played with the paints and brushes like we’re at in a war. I know it’s kinda childish but it really helps me to remove my stress from it and also I had fun. WE even doodle things that we loved , we fantasized and also things that makes us happy. You can see a 2 hand prints in the center while the other random doodles are like circling around it. It makes me cry for some reason.. not because I did make something , it’s because WE make something to remember , I don’t claim this as MY master piece.. I claimed it as OUR master piece because if it wasn’t for him.. I wouldn’t be here right now.. well covered in paint that is.. but I can see that already. It wasn’t perfect.. every surface , corner and space in the canvas. All the flaws.. just like a relationship in real life, even it's a relationship you build with your friends, family and even your love ones. But I think and I believe an artist can fell in-love or be in-love in many different ways. Just like this painting right here. We have our own path to take, it depends if it makes up happy. We as an artist had many ways of showing our love, by doing a simple artwork but has different and deeper meanings. Me as Artist I fell in-love with the person I loved the most.. and we did create this master piece together with no sweat.. I would like to say thank you Tyler for everything.“
The judges and host.. everything went quiet.. but suddenly Tyler claps and so as your friends until all of the students , judges and host joins in and I take a little bow and head down and meet my friends and Tyler
“You did great Abbie!”, said MC.
“I knew you can do it”, said Chris.
“That so sweet of you Abbie and Tyler , it makes me wanna cry!!”, said Zack while tearing up.
“Here have a box of tissue Zack !”, said Kaitlyn and joked of having an invisible box of tissues.
“Oh stop it! I’m not crying! I.. I just got something in my eye!”, said Zack.. but still crying.
“Thank you guys for your support.. and mostly you Tyler. Without you? maybe I wouldn’t be even here right now”
“Anything for you Abbie , I will always be there for you”, said Tyler and gently kisses my cheek.
“Awwwwwwww!!”, said the rest of them.
All of us keeps talking and chatting then the judge was about to announced the winner
“Ohhh who is it gonna be?”, said Kaitlyn.
“I bet Abbie will! she’s amazing”, replied Zack.
“Oh guys.. I don’t care if I win or not as long as I had fun with Tyler , I think I’ve already won”
“Awww.. that so sweet! Look Tyler is blushing!”, said MC teasingly.
“I wasn’t!”, said Tyler while covering the side of his face with his hand.
“Lies!”, yelled Kaitlyn.
Judge: Okay I would like to congratulate all of the participants in this contest. And here’s the result , lets give it a round of applause to Ms. Abbie!
“Wait what?!”
“Woooohhhh!! Go Abbie!”, said Chris.
“I know you will win , you’ve got that power girl!”, said Zack as he started to chant.
“We’re so proud of you Abbie”, said MC and hugged me.
“Oh thanks guys ! “
As I grab the prize , we just continue to have fun at the festival. It was a exhausting day. I can’t believe I won… wait no.. I can’t believe WE won. I didn’t even expect any of these. But the grand prize doesn’t matter to me. I pick up our painting , covered it with a protective plastic cover and hang it on the wall at the living room. Why did I do that? I just wanna place this master piece so anyone can see it.. can see that the art wasn’t made to please anyone.. it was made out of love. A love from my great friends and my lover.
