the lady said as she dropped the items that I had ordered on top of the counter. Clutching my hands tightly, I observed what was set in front of me. "That is 2B pencil," I muttered. "2B pencil. 5B pencil. All are the same," the lady said. "They are not the same. Their thickness is different. 5B pencil is not the same with 2B pencil." "If you say so, young man.

She turned on the television and walked herself straight to the kitchen to grab herself some biscuits and a bottle of coke. When she sat on a dining chair, she noticed the new set of school notebooks and intermediate pads that were still covered in a thick layer of plastics and a box that contained the set of art materials such as the colored pencils, oil pastel crayons, watercolor paint set, a paintbrush and two pieces of sketchbooks. Her eyes widened when she laid sight on the art materials that she laid her hands on those. First, she touched the colored pencils that had the brand name of Crayola; it had a count of 12 colors - Red, Red Orange, Orange, Yellow, Yellow Green, Green, Sky Blue,

she put the book to her chest and said, “Thank you,” “I’m glad you like it,” “I love it… and I also got something for you,” Blondie went to her backpack and took a small box wrapped neatly in wrapping paper. She gave it to me and I took it in a heartbeat. I hadn’t had a Christmas gift in a long time. Not since my grandma when I was ten. “What’s this?” I said as I studied the wooden box under the wrapping paper. “They’re sketching pencils,” Blondie opened the wooden box and revealed a row of expensive-looking pencils inside. “The guy at the store said all the cool architects use them,”

It turns out that my efforts were not in vain moving all the pencils yesterday. “Oh man, I thought that was a big deal.” "It's a big deal to me, doc. I have to use my pencils, I really need them." “Does it have to be your pencil? I mean if it's not the same type as yours can you use it?” “You have pencils doc?” "Of course, I have some.

The ridges came alive beneath the graphite, forming shallow outlines of words pressed into the paper without pigment. Three words emerged. **He’s not done.** Ximena froze. The pencil rolled out of her hand and hit the floor with a quiet clink.

I looked at the black page in front of me, the sharpened pencil felt strange in my hands, bringing memories of two little boys giggling with identical smiles as they painted and drew on our mother’s wall, standing together through her scolding and punishments when she’d tell us to go to our room, a place we would so much rather be.

“For your daughter.” I took it, peeking inside. It contained two things: a small, perfect container of ripe, red strawberries, and a box of the highest-quality, most expensive colored pencils I had ever seen. “The strawberries,” he said, his voice clinical, “have a documented high concentration of antioxidants and natural sugars, conducive to post-stress nutritional replenishment for a child.

“Nathalie, what do you think Brianna would like as a birthday gift?” I was lost in thought for a moment, then Brianna’s passion came to mind. “I think one of the things she would really appreciate is a supply of bondpaper, pencils, and colored pencils.” Mrs. Beatrice, blinking her eyes in a row as if she couldn’t believe it, simply wanted her granddaughter. “Really?” she asked speechlessly.
