She hesitated to think for a minute. "An art class, Drawing 1, I think. What about you?"

"English Advance" He replied after having to think for a moment, "I think you're class is on my way, mind if I walk with you?"

Her eyes widened for a second. "No, that's fine." She stood, lifting her book bag over her shoulder and pulling her hair out from under the well-worn strap.

He smiled and grabbed his backpack, overflowing with books. "Thanks, so you're into art? like drawing and painting or more hands-on like sculpting?"

"Mostly sketching, sculpting isn't my strong suite. Everything I sculpt turns out looking like a melted pot pie. And I've never tried to sculpt food before." Kenzie lead the way out of the building, blinking when they got outside.

Keith pulled his hood over his head and laughed lightly "food? how'd that turn out for you?" he asked with a grin. "I've never tried to sculpt before, and I'm trash at drawing, music is mostly the only art I can do well."

"You do it very well." she walked alongside him, keeping pace despite being a little shorter. "What else do you besides music?"

"Thanks, you're amazing at the piano. uhm, I like culinary, but mostly the science behind it." He slowed a bit, seeing that she had to take long strides to keep up

"That's cool, I've never looked at food like that." She was able to shorten her stride, the pace easier. She fiddled with the strap of her bag absently, watching him cautiously. "Are you graduating this spring?"

He nodded "hopefully if I don't fail any classes." he glanced at her sideways "You? any other interests? hopes? dreams?"

Kenzie thought for a moment. "I'd like to get into photography. And traveling, for the photography. What about you, plans for life?" She kept watching him, waiting for a reply.

"definatly traveling, thinking of going to France." He blushed "I'm a huge romantic… It's kinda embarrassing…"

She turned to him with a bright grin. "That's really cool! Not embarrassing at all." She assured him sincerely.

"thanks, usually when I tell people that, they get gushy about it." He scratched the back of his head nervously "thanks for not doing that."

Kenzie shot him a mischievous smile. "Don't worry. I'll save it for potential blackmail."

He threw his back and laughed "Thanks, I'll have to sleep with one eye open." He said with a smile.

Kenzie laughed, one hand going up and brushing her hair away from her eyes.

He glanced at her at smiled "would have never taken you as a blackmailer, your sneaky, I like it"

Kenzie looked down, hiding her smile. "Lots of siblings and cousins. Only way to stay in power was to have something to hold against them."

"ah, so you play the sweet, innocent one until your position is in jeopardy. Then you go all in, guns blazing, raising hell until it's back to normal. I like the way you think." He nodded and flashed a smile "I'm keith, by the way."

Her smile widened. "No, just little threats. I don't get too involved. I'm Kenzie, nice to meet you." She turned sideways to hold out a hand to shake his.

He shook her hand and laughed "killing with a butter knife. It might take a bit longer but you get the job done."

Kenzie's face bunched up slightly in distaste. "No, you'd want a hunting knife. Quick and fast, that's the way to kill." She was slightly appalled with the conversation, but also intrigued.

"True, true, or a small dagger so the suffering is longer but the victim can't fight back…" he speculated with a small smile

"Or poison? Is poison painless?" she asked, realizing she didn't actually know.

He thought for a moment "depends on what you use. Some poison's kill from the inside out, slowly melting the inside of the person. Some knock the person out, kinda like an eternal sleep." He explained

"I… Wasn't expecting you to actually know that." She said, eyebrows raised with trepidation.

He laughed softly "did I scare you? I didn't mean to."

Kenzie shook her head. "No, I'm just a little surprised. Do you know from experience?" She asked playfully, with a raised eyebrow.
