What had he done to me? It was hard to believe that he was the same student who initially walked in my classroom. Back then, Shawn was just another football player and I was just beginning to notice his artistic talent. He was shy and wasn't very vocal. However, as the year passed and he moved into my second year class, he became more sociable. His confidence had definitely blossomed during the summer. To the point that I was shocked when I saw him talking to one of the girls in the class. They took to each other well and before the year was out, she'd completely brought him out of his shell.
Her name was Monica Allen and she was one of the sweetest things in my class. too bad she didn't have the creative talents to go along with her sweetness. As the year progressed and she moved into her senior year, her and Shawn began dating. By the time she was into her senior year, they were the ideal couple. So much so, that Shawn decided to paint a portrait of her, for free. This is where the story truly begin, because Shawn work usually wasn't free. He'd painted portraits of several of my neighbors and they're babies. Last time I checked, he charged upwards to three-fifty for a portrait of one person.
So you're probably wondering what does this have to do with me? Well, let me tell you. Shawn was one of only six student who made the cut for my third year class. This was my Studio Arts class, which was a college-level AP courses, that allowed the student to have the opportunity to earn credit or advanced standing at most of the nation's colleges and universities. Being that this was a relatively new course, the school administration didn't feel the need to block out two periods of class for only a handful of students. So I allowed my students to come back during one of my break periods to work on some of their pieces. At first no one showed, which I didn't mind, because I usually used that time to read up on my favorite erotica, occasionally stroking myself to a climatic end. However, after a month or so a few students begin to show. Shawn was one of the only ones who would take advantage of this. It was about this time that he began the portrait of Monica.
