She grins at Ali. "I doubt it'll be worse than the "Mexican" I've had in Kansas and Illonois."
"You'd be surprised to know that my mother is a lawyer. My father is an artist." Serenity responds, practically inhaling the tamale. Damn, this is good.
Ali laughs, then cocks her head. “Huh, would have never thought you had some lawyer in you!” She chuckles, smiling when Serenity downs the tamale. “It’s good, right?” She grabs a chip and dips it in salsa
"Don't worry, I won't use it against you." she grins.
"Mm-hmmmm!" she hums, grabbing another, inhaling that then grabbing some chips herself.
Ali laughs hard, then sighs, watching Serenity. She grabs another tamale and takes a bite, looking at her phone. “Do you have any other classes scheduled today?” She asks, mouth half full of tamale
"Maybe… I think I might have Graphic Design next." Serenity says, sighing. "But it's probably not for another hour and a half to an hour."
Ali chuckles. “You don’t know when your classes are?? You’re paying 5,000 a semester for them!” She grabs one of the quesadillas, scarfing it down as she looks at her phone. “Well, we could go swimsuit shopping, or walk around campus, or…” she gets an idea then shakes her head. “Nevermind”
Serenity snorts. "Yeah, fair."
She immediately perks up. "Nevermind what?"
Ali shrugs, laughing timidly. “You paint, right? I could… I could be your muse”
Serenity remembers the vase. "Speaking of painting, I made something."
She shows Ali the vase. "And yes, you could be."
Ali takes the vase, inspecting every detail, tracing her finger along the beach. “This… this is….” She struggles to find the right word, carefully admiring the piece of art. “This is maravilloso”
Serenity grins. "Thank you!"
Ali continues admiring it, smiling at every new detail she finds. “When did you make it?”
"In ceramics, just a bit ago, actually. Ceramics is a long class. We had time to glaze and fire the clay. And I barely had time to finish painting it and waiting for it to dry before you called me." Serenity smiles, happy that Ali loves it.
“Wow. You did that really fast then!” She says, smiling. She gasps, putting the white and blue flowers in the vase. “There!”
"Yeah, I've been doing this stuff for years. What'd you expect?" Serenity replies, just a tiny bit smug. "And trust me, I had no clue you were getting flowers."
Ali laughs. “You’ll have to teach me!” She raises an eyebrow. “Oh sure…”
"No, really!" Serenity grins. "And I could, it might take a bit though. I'm sure you'd enjoy it though."
Ali nods, grinning. “I think so too.” She lays out on the grass, watching the few clouds in the sky float by
Serenity's mind starts to wander, planning paintings and drawings. Taking mental photos and whatnot. Eventually, she looks down at Ali, thinking about how easy it would be to draw her. Grinning, she pulls out a pencil and sketchbook, quickly drawing Ali.
Ali sits up a little. “You’re so quiet all the su-“ the sound of a pencil against paper catches her ears and she turns to see Serenity drawing her. Ali blushes, then holds as still as possible.
Serenity notes the change in position, but continues drawing Ali as she was a couple seconds ago, even going so far as to draw the grass and clouds and the campus, shading all of it. When she finishes, she shows it to Ali. "How is it?"
Ali stares, taking in every detail of the sketch. “Oh my god… you draw me so pretty.” She says, still blushing
"Thank you! But you're pretty anyways." Serenity says, giggling.
Ali smiles, blushing more. “Not nearly as pretty as you.”
"Ah, that's not true. Hey, let's just agree that we're both pretty?" Serenity laughs, getting up. "Anyways, I need to head to my last class. I'll see ya afterwards."
Ali grins, looking at her vase. “Alright. See ya!” She stands, gathering the blanket and leftovers
Next, Digital Art… she thinks, sighing and jogging to her class. She draws a tree, then a beach and the ocean, then the sky: the thing yesterday that she had seen, before the shenanigans down at the beach.
Ali goes back to the dorms, she only had one class today. Smiling, she makes tea for two, then grabs some snacks and a few blankets, finding a good movie to watch
(Damn, Ali's lucky!)
As soon as the class ends, Serenity was out the door and jogging to the dorms. She opens the door softly, in case Ali was sleeping, remembering yesterday and smiling. She sees the tea, then sees Ali on the couch, and her smile widens. "Hey, babe! I'm 'home'!"
(Ikr XD)
Ali grins, excitedly running over to Serenity and wrapping her arms around her, kissing her. “How was class?”
