Freedom in the Artists Eye Open

[Peter Lothario]

Peter sat in the Courtyard , his legs folded idian style in the shade of a large Oak tree, a sketch book sitting in his lap a black tattered bag next to him, his hair messy and all over his face and head. His dark eyes looking down at the paper, following as his hand danced with the paper along it slowly drawing along it.

This is what Peter loved to do , draw and let his mind create anything he wanted, he felt so free doing it and like he had no restrictions and he could make anything he wanted to happen. Giving him the feeling of surrealness and peace. His eyes stayed down at the page looking up for a moment, the Courtyard wasn't crowded but it wasn't empty.

The few people sitting here and there talking amongst themselves, he sighed slightly looking down at the work in process slowly slipping into his own world again, recommencing the drawing.

"You need a break,now go!" Devin's friend,Malena shouted and shoved her in to the courtyard.She stumbled in quietly and looked around,many strangers were staring strangely at her.She gave a small smile and shook of the embarrassment,now making her way over to a picnic table which was located next to a very familiar looking boy.

Devin took a seat on top of it and pulled out her black IPod,this had been her only escape in the past week.She closed her eyes and turned up the music abit,now beginning to play the song: Misery Buisness by Paramore.A smile spread upon her face and a peaceful sigh left her lips.

Peter like everyone else in the Coutyard heard someone shout and looked up seeing a girl shove another girl outside, his dark eyes stayed on her following her as she sat down on the picnic table. He let his eyes linger for a moment before setting them back atbhis drawing hearing a distant hum of a song from an Ipod. He sighed slightly not really wanting to listen to music, curisng himself mentally for having good hearing and tried to focus on his drawing but not being able to long. Looking up in search for the distant and annoying hum of the song and it's listener.

[Devin Adams]

Devin opened her eyes slowly as she heard the last word of her song fade.Oh how she wished to be a musician,it was her dream.But ever since she came to this school,everything had been torn apart by rumors,back stabbing friends,and self-fish boys.Her eyes lingered among random places of the courtyard,before falling upon the unknown boy boy again.She saw him looking up in search of something.Devin got up and tapped his shoulder lightly,taking out one of her ear buds,"Um,Is my music to loud...if it is i can turn it off." she said.
