CHAPTER 1
I walk into the art room and immediately fall in love. This is a real place of art.
"Hello!" Ms. Kalli says. "You can pick up your sketchbook right over there! You're a captain, so why don't you take the orange table?" I nod and smile. I sit down, pondering the question on the board. Am I a monkey, a tiger, or a jungle tree? I decide, and begin to sketch a tiger curled up on a tree.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" A deep voice asks. I look up and see a boy with shaggy brown hair and eyes to match.
"Sure. What's your name?" I am supposed to write down who sits here. There's only 3 seats anyway.
"Michael. You?"
"Kylie." I wrote down his name on the orange piece of paper in the center of the table. "What are you drawing?"
"Oh, I think I'm a... Tree!" I laugh. The bell rings, and the last seat at our table is left empty.
"Is that really what you think you'd be if you weren't human?" I begin to color my drawing.
"Naw, I'm a tiger."
"Me too!" I smile. Art class is going to be even more fun than I anticipated.
