He is also openly gay. I am very attentive in class and I hear Professor Klein say,”I have been asked to brush over this part of the text book because some people find this particular brand of queer art especially controversial, but it is part of the syllabus I wrote, so we will discuss this today and Monday and have a test on Wednesday. However, I want anyone who is interested in extra credit, or learning more about the art and artists included to stay after class and speak to me about some opportunities.” I look at the page number he writes on the dry erase board and flip to it. I draw in a breath to hold back the gasp and my eyes go wide as “Boot Fetish” by Robert Mapplethorp is the first

He insisted on going there with me, so I let him. I spent hours going from one book about magic to the next. There was no other way to describe what was happening. It was magic, simple. “What are you doing?” I heard Alpha Moretti call out, making me jump in my skin. I slammed the book I was holding closed, although there wasn't any need for that considering the numerous books that were sprawled out on the table with their titles on display. His eyes settled on the biggest book there, and my cheeks burned in embarrassment. “The Art of Magic,” the topic read.

It was this stupid thread in my chest that tied me not only to my love but to other people who I don’t even freaking know, let alone should care about at all. I felt fucking stupid. I shoulder open the metal door to the bookstore which was located in the same building as the dining hall. The bookstore consisted of everything we’d need for a successful school year. Which included the backpack Xaden had gotten for me. There were also journals, notebooks, pencils, erasers, and oddly enough, art supplies. I didn’t even know art was a class that could be taken here. There were also small ‘emergency wands’, first aid kits, fur coat shine, claw buffers, crystal balls, and tons of different charms,

But someone had left an avalanche of books on every table, and Jonas had finals coming up, so I volunteered. I pushed the metal cart between the rows, sliding volumes back into place with soft thumps. Literature, art history, photography theory. The irony wasn’t lost on me. I kept my earbuds in but no music playing—just the illusion of company. Row 770—oversized art books. I reached high to slot a heavy monograph on Mapplethorpe into its gap, standing on tiptoes, when warm breath brushed the shell of my ear. “I miss you, little girl.”

She said as she resumed her seat. Via ignored her remark and just decided to read the book; she was amazed at how detailed some of the art techniques in the book explanations were. There were lifelike illustrations of the objects, words of tutorials on the correct blending, and the explanation of a pencil consistency. The presentation of the information brought her more excitement on improving her art skills that gave her the urge to be interested in borrowing the two books.

She wouldn't mind checking everything out, or whatever called her attention. There was another shelf after the award shelf. A bookshelf. It didn't contain so many books, although he had something that hooked her attention. Book of art. Clinton had a black hardcover drawing book he called Book Of Art. He used it to draw his imagination. Anthony had one too, meaning he also had an eye for art.

I chuckled. "Fore-edge painting is... like a painting, or a form of painting, on the edge of the book, where we turn the book! In the end. So when the book is closed... it puts that part like a painting, yes it can be simple or complex... it's free, there are several genres.. like boho, simplicity to natural art... modern art? Yes, it's free! It's just like a medium there, so it adds to the function of the book too, if you put it there it can be a display." I explained.

I can visualize the clock wheels turning in his head, trying to decide if I am capable of understanding the complex poem. I like a challenge! I sit, ignoring the warmth spreading through my body as I lie close to Bryce, opening the tome, and I gasp. The artwork on the page is beautiful and elegant. The lettering reminds me of "The Book of Kells," a real work of art. But I do not have the time to carefully examine the intricate patterns and designs created in different colored inks.

I said to him, "What's that?" Looking at the art book, placed on the sofa, he asked. "That's nothing. It's just my art book on which I practiced my drawings". I tried to distract him. He was going to take that book. I quickly took that book from the sofa. "It's very old. My drawings were not good at that time. I don't want you to see it". Holding that book tightly with my both hands, hiding it behind me, I said.
