Ms. Summers walked along the brightly lit sidewalk towards the drama building’s exhibit room, her long black hair drawn back into a very elegant bun at the base of her neck. Susan’s outfit for the exhibit was a navy blue dress that cut off right at her knees. The exhibition itself was semi-formal at most, but Susan always loved an excuse to dress up! Plus, she was here to support her students who were presenting their work. She didn’t want to show up dressed like a slob, now did she?
Susan stumbled a little bit on a rough section of sidewalk, but before she had the chance to fall, her brother caught her.
“Whoops! I didn’t see that sidewalk there.” Susan said, pointing a finger down at the sidewalk. “Bad sidewalk! Don’t you go tripping me again!”
“I don’t think it’s listening.” Arthur commented, releasing his sister’s arm once she was stable to walk on her own. Susan brushed her dress free of wrinkles, clutching her little black purse closer to her body as she did so. Her brother had dressed in the only semi-formal clothing he owned, a pair of black slacks and a solid white button down shirt. His unnecessary glasses were perched on his nose, and a frown was present on his face.
In response to his unamused expression, Susan stuck out her tongue. Arthur narrowed his eyes in response.
“Don’t be so grumpy! I’m just trying to keep the spirit alive. Your peers worked really hard to get into this exhibit... so come on!” Susan laced her arm through Arthur’s and practically bounced over towards the exhibit. She’d been in an unstoppable great mood lately, and it was kind of getting on her brother’s nerves. He knew why too—it was the whole ‘baby on the way’ thing. Really annoying. He was glad to see his sister so happy, but this was too much.
When they entered the exhibit Susan slowed down but kept her brother close, immediately pointing towards a beautiful painting someone had produced.
“Oh! I had that student in one of my classes, he’s such a nice boy—I think Mr. Richardson said his art will be here too—and oh! That photographer, right there, I know the girl who took that as well! She’s such a good student… it’s wonderful to see so much talent in one room!”
Arthur was zoning his sister out by this point, as he spotted someone he unfortunately knew a few feet away.
Talya Harvall was standing next to a CD display in a floor length maxi dress that was white and littered with pink roses along the bottom half. Her brown hair was pulled back into half a ponytail and flowers designed to match the ones on the dress decorated her ponytail. Talya peered over at the pair and blinked, then started to sway slightly to the instrumental song playing over the speakers. Susan ushered her brother over, moving into congratulate Talya on her CDs.
Talya was half spinning where she stood, lost in thought. She turned towards Susan and Arthur and sent them a smile, though she still didn't seem all there. She was willing to talk to anyone she bumped into, tonight. As she always was.
