4 Pretty & Afraid.

He's had one too many. Look at him, he barely can stand. Noslen need a hand? Oh, crap Not on the carpet. One of us has to lay him upstairs. So who is it going to be? Yrrah, technically he is like your roommate, you have to.

"Twice my size is what he is, you can't expect me to pick him up alone, I'd need an assist" responds Yrrah

Nivlek: I got you, grab his feet. Like a dead body, we shall drag him.

Mloclam: I can't believe he dozed off on his own vomit, this needs a photo, Yrrah! We have to. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity [click*, light flashing from an image recorded too early.]

Kciwdahc: Oh well the party must go on. Where are the ladies at?

[At the kitchen a conversation erupts.]

Alienad: And I was like to him 'This, Us', what we had is gone and I've been holding onto something that isn't there.

Anir: Oh my gosh, how did he take it?

Alienad: He was so hella clingy, it was sad really.

Sheesh, what's got you guys so cooped up? [ walking towards the counter and grabbing a cup of whisky is Aek, A blonde hair and light green eyes lassie]

"Alienad broke up with, you know whom" Responds Nole

Aek: When? I want to know everything. Don't leave any details out.

Alienad: Okay, okay I'll tell you. We weren't really close like that anymore, I think we lost the spark on the way but...

The Party:

Empty bottles, broken glasses.Drunk teens dancing to heavy loud music. Blown off roof, the neighbours have called the cops for the third time no response. An old man knocks on the door, with his face fuming, he shouts but his voice gets lost on The Beatles and he eventually aborts, disappearing back to his house.

"Oh Darling!"

"Please believe me!"

"I'll never do you no harm!"

The crowd sings along, some holding their cups up as if expressing good wishes before drinking.One collapse from a table, vomiting on his way down. "Oh,Noslen, 5 cups were more than enough." Says Nivlek

"Lay him on the sofa, I don't want him vomiting all over my sheets."

Nivlek: Sure thing,

[Inside the other room]

Yrrah: He looks like shit, Aleinad should have taken it easy on him.

Nivlek: Eyy, we warned his dumb arse but did he listen no, he did not.

"Yall know I'm here right, like the audacity and I'm the one who left her ass anyway." One boy interjects

Yrrah: yeah right, and she must be the one covered in vomit.

Nivlek: Am heading back out there, favorite song is playing. See ya[ walks out]

Noslen: Aren't you going with him?

Yrrah: oh, so you mean to tell me, you aren't enjoying my company?

Noslen: You are such a waste man [laughing]

Yrrah: So it seems, here is the controller ima beat your drunk ass.

Noslen: As if, The King of fighters is my ish.

[Moments later...]

Noslen: I want to thank you man, for always being there for me.

Yrrah: Don't get soft on me now, besides that's what friends do.

Noslen: I know I'm drunk and all but is it me or are those words falling off the frame?.

Part 6: CASE STUDY 02

"Everyone settled in? Alright then, we shall begin with an experiment. Revned, Niffam, Ayera Anavrin, Nosaj Nedlo, and Aleinad Accem. Come in front. I want you Four to settle in these seats, one left.Take the seat on my right Nosaj, and leave the chair right where it has been placed, don't drag it. You are fine where you are at Miss Anavrin. Eillib I want you to stand at the centre, yes right there, perfect. Unfortunately, you are going to be today's carved sculpture model Miss Niffam."

"dang." Responds Eillib

"This is called drawing from observation, but more specifically, eyeballing. As you all can see, I've placed each of them opposite the other and Eillib standing at the centre maintaining a Profile pose. This is where she turns sideways and slightly lift up her head. This is an easy and graceful pose. Eillib can also put one hand on her neck to show more tenderness. Mr. Yrrah Revned will be sketching her left side, while Aleinad will sketch her back view, Nosaj the front view, and Ayera the right side. [issuing the papers to the artists while walking towards her desk] And you will all receive a pencil, no eraser. 10 minutes, counting. Begin."

2 minutes later:

Mrs. Naiviv:[Speaking to the whole class] As we wait for them, I want you all on separate sides, Nivlek and friends, Sit on the bench beside Miss Anavrin, and Mr. Namezob's group will settle along Miss Accem and the rest, just spread across the artists, open spaces for others.

Yrreb: Mam, if I may ask what is the point of all this?

Mrs. Niaviv: Well, one's translation of the world is based on how they view it, this whole lesson is about acknowledging that most times there is more than one correct answer.

Saenihp: So are the answers relating to the sketches being drawn by Yrrah & others? Could-

Done! ( cutting Saenihp off)

Mrs. Naiviv: finished already?

Nosaj: Technically she finished last, even Teddy finished earlier, just pointing that out.

Yrrah: Her name is Ayera not teddy, Eissej.

[ The class burst into laughter, on the name play twist]

Nosaj: Pff, y'all are just spectators anyway.

Aleinad: Hit a nerve did he.

Mrs. Naiviv: okay, okay done with the pettiness. I want you all to take a look at the portraits presented to you by your fellow artists and let me know whose sketch best represents Ms. Eillib Niffam.

Aek: I am going with Nosaj on this one, he drew her front so well.

[Students agreeing within themselves] "true, yeah he did, I too go with Nosaj"

Noslen: I say teddy, sorry I mean Ayera did a fantastic job, I haven't seen Nosaj's art but I know for certain it isn't that good.

[Students disagree amongst themselves] "you are jealous, he is right though..."

Kciwdahc: We can all fight on who drew well between Nosaj and Ayera, but we can't disagree that Yrrah's sketch is a masterpiece, like just look at it [waving the page around.]

Anira: I'd choose Alienad's drawing a million times over...

[Arguments among students]

"Alright fine!!, you all can go take your seats, you too Eillib. [Collecting the papers while addressing the class]

Mrs. Naiviv: There is Fundamental incorrectness in unpacking the truth in views. Eillib played the role of 'life' and Nosaj, Yrrah, Ayera, and Alienad are your views on life. As you stood with the side that you believed was on the right you ignored the fact that they all drew the same person but from Different Angles.

Noslen: Meaning no one was incorrect, they just drew different some of the parts.

Mrs. Naiviv: On point Noslen, raise your hand next time. So in conclusion we can all view the world differently and still maintain a sense of correctness. Class dismissed, page 76 is your assignment.

Nosaj: If this was a test, you all would have failed. [walking through the door]

"Yeah, yeah"someone interjects

[A conversation In the hallway]

"Football practices?"

Nivlek: ya man, ima catch up with ya later

Yrrah: Sure, I'm heading to the park with Eillib anyway.

Nivlek: Mmm, something I should know?

Yrrah: Nah, it's nothing dude, we are just going to chill besides I still want to know if that 'Garden of Eden' place existed there.

Nivlek: I see, you are still on that wild goose chase.

Yrrah: So it seems, we'll talk later bro, [ shaking his hand before reaching out to Eillib]

We are all kids playing dress-up
