Chapter 1; Broken wrist.

Whining buzz! the sound of the mosquito kept on ringing in my ears,I couldn't control my temper,I hate the sound and I wanted to kill it with my bear hands, suddenly I realized I was on the floor intertwined with the blanket and I struggled to unravel it. I broke my wrist accidentally, 

Ahh I screamed !!!

 No one was there to help, cause I was living alone. I got up and I went to the freezer to get block to place on my broken wrist. I massage it till the pain reduced. 

  Thank Goodness..

I thought within me,I have no lectures today since it weekend. I was indoors through out the day to avoid being noticed,I couldn't bath,house chores was left alone,how am I suppose to tidy up with my broken wrist? I won't allow the day to be wasted,so I went online to check some stuff and how to improve my art works. I love things that has to do with Drawing, Painting, Graphic design and I write Peotry too. Let just say I can't do without art.

Art is Life...

I plugged earpiece into my ears to avoid distraction from the neighborhood, cause I get distracted easily. I went in the YouTube website,watch some videos and downloaded some on my phone. I watched a lot of videos as many as possible. Hunger was hitting me..although I haven't eaten since morning,i checked the time,it was already 4p.m in the evening,I didn't noticed,I was engrossed with what I was doing. I went into the fridge to get some chocolate cookies and a chilled fruit juice. 

Buzz!! My phone vibrated. I hurried to check the message.

" You have be being given the opportunity to submit your artwork on the 4th December by 5pm".

Instantly checked the calendar on my phone,just to be assure of the exact day.

I was stunned..

Oh no! am gonna be busy through out that day,but I will just try my best to be there,cause a price is attached to the winner of the event and I won't stand the chance of missing it.

I guess a lot of activities is gonna take place that same day.

How am I suppose to cope with that?

Chapter 2: The gigantic Building.

Well finally the date has come. My beloved Drawing competition is to be submitted today by 5:pm. 

I woke up a bit late,I was so much engrossed in my Imaginative Drawing of a Human face. I spent a lot of time trying to sketch and making final touches of the artwork, that it was until very late at night I could really fall asleep.

I was in a reverie state,I looked Haggard,I couldn't think straight.

I bathed and came out..

Wore my blue short gown with my flat shoe,it was just something casual. I packed my books, especially my sketch pad, with some chocolates and vanilla yogurt.

I hurried to catch a bus,I was running late for class. Our first class was Physics not really my favorite class, followed by Mathematics. I just caught my head when I couldn't understand what he tried to teach today.

Ugh! terrible feeling. The indiscribable feeling when all my ears yet you couldn't understand s thing. Physics is the only subject which can never make me satisfied. Those derivation and those big fraction, interference and quatum equations really suck away my brain and dry my heart. I love art things,how come am in a science department?

I couldn't wait for the class to be over,I was thinking of how to submit before the given time. I went to a quiet place to eat my lunch,when I hear someone calling my name..

Bell one of my classmates called me in an inimical way,that was Stella I guess...

Am surreptitious in nature,I like keeping my secret to my self, both the good and the bad one's. I was trained not to have friends, because I was taught that friends can betray any day,anytime. I know good friend still exists.

I haven't figure that side of it.

Bell she called again, actually am Bella,but they like calling me Bell. I answered her with a gormless look. What's wrong ? you look pale today what happened Stella said.. 

Am fine it just that I have a lot to think about lately, I guess I will be fine all by myself I responded... Are u sure you'll be fine,I can actually be of help if you can share what you're actually passing through..

Hmm! She sounded like a nice person though.

Stella am fine,like I told u earlier,I have a lot of things to do. 

Thanks for your concern,we both ate my lunch together chatting.

Some hours later I checked my phone it was already 4:30pm..

I shouted!!

 30 minutes remaining to get to the building or I will be disqualified, punctuality was part of it...

I rushed down the road to catch a bus. I got there around 4:50pm,I was ten minutes earlier.

The gigantic building was appealing to the sight, although I have seen the building in my dream,it look impossible,but I saw it today it was real.

I rushed inside to submit,the reception was the first room I entered.

How can I help you? 

Receptionist said with a smile on her face. Am Bella and I was told to submit my artwork today..

Yeah you are part of the participant right,I said yes. She directed me to the Exhibition room. 

I was in AWE ..

Artwork that was display in the art gallery were exceptionally beautiful. Their paintings was superb,I was observing different artwork,both the two and three dimensional sculptures. Everything was perfect in my eyes,I walked round the art gallery and took some pictures...

I was delighted,I couldn't control my thrilling mood. As I was there observing and exploring the beautiful artwork. A lot of people were there to submit their artwork as well, we chatted and exchange numbers for future sake.

We were all directed to the same room to submit our artwork, waiting for curator to address us. We waited for at least 1hour,still enjoying the process.

Chapter 3: Being Fantast.

Trying to get a full attention from the competitors,he cleared his throat in a loud manner.

For the first time in my life I have seen a guy so close other than my brother. His skin tone was chocolates, good height,a perfect figure and a deep set black eyes. He even has a round face with well shaved haircut. A crucifix chain was dangling on his neck,I checked my neck exactly the same with mine. My mum gave me when I got admission into college. It always on my neck, can't do without it.

He revealed his identity. Am Peter by name and am here to address you concerning the artwork,you all have been committed to do. I guess you've devoted your time, strength in achieving a desirable result. The result will be announced on the 5th January,in a month time. So prepare and wait for the results.

I wasn't hearing a word,my gaze was fixed on him totally,it all seems like a dream,I couldn't believe what I actually saw but it was real.

Standing in front of him,but he couldn't even noticed me,I checked my drawing,it was actually his face I was seeing.

What is this? 

Was it really a dream?

 But... how come I imagined that?

I was busy thinking within me. Am a fantast, I dream a lot, I do see things that will happen in the future,I dreamt about the building I was in and Peter being the curator of the event.

I couldn't think straight,we were asked to submit our artwork and our results will be out in one month time.

Exhausted was the word,so tired that my eyes were red,so I just went to the rest room for visitors at the building. I entered and wash my face,I feel sick all my whole body was already shaking,I just tried to pull myself together. I left for home,on my way going I couldn't see the road clearly with my dizzy eyes. I saw someone walking towards my direction,it was Peter I fainted in his arms..

He rushed me to his office and gave me first aid, for two hours I was unconscious didn't know what was going on.

6:30pm was their closing time,but he couldn't leave me there so he stayed awake,till I was awake. He was busy checking the artwork we submitted. My own was the fifth one,he saw face draw on my sketch pad,he couldn't believe his eyes, although the drawing was real and amazing..

I didn't ask them to draw my face,how come am seeing my face been draw on this sketch pad,he looked for the person's name,then he saw my name written at the front page of my book. Bella Wright,but he didn't know I was the person I actually,he wanted to disqualified the person,but he was patient enough. 

He went to check his file and saw my details..

As he was still looking at the drawing,I woke up and looked around to see where I was. 

What actually happened? my thought went on and on. He came closer and said 

  Are you ok,I said am fine,but happened I asked,he explained what happened. I got up and thank him for his kindness.

He shook his head in agreement,no problem are you fine now he asked? 

Am fine I responded and discovered my drawing was separated from the other artwork. Fear gripped my heart,I said in a shaky voice that my drawing Sir,why is it separated from the other. 

Ohh! It was your drawing,I was wondering why you decided to draw me. The instructions was to draw an imaginative drawing,so why did you draw me.

I was confused I didn't know what to say, will he even believe my words,I became bold all of a sudden,I explained everything to him,but it all sounded like a story.

He actually believed me..

Peter took me home with his car. We chatted till we got home that night. 

Chapter 4: Fell in Love.

I bathed and went to sleep that night. The next morning I woke up strong,it was actually his calls that woke me. He called to check on my health state.

It all started in his office,sooner it became real,we fell in love,it was a divine one. 5th January the result was realise,I was announced the Winner,not because I was dating Peter. It was just God intervention, cause I needed the money. To get some materials for my department course.

         The. End.

                  Thanks for love an attention.
