It has been six days since the commencement of my exams, I can't say I am submitting each paper with a wide smile but at least I am not begging for extra minutes.

I exist my faculty, and take a diversion to go see Nick. I was actually killing two birds with a stone; Andrew and nick had different majors but were in the same faculty.

To my luck, I found 'drew immediately I entered their faculty, then we walked around a bit before we found nick chatting with a group of girls.

I reclined against a pillar, as 'drew walked ahead to go call nick.

"Heuy". He greeted when he came into sight.

"Hey nick, had any paper today?".

He frowned lightly, "what are you saying, myself and drew sat for an exam today".

"You look brighter than drew". I commented, gauging 'drew's reaction. He flipped me off with a finger.

"That's not true". He countered and we walked out of the faulty. "The exam was worse than my first shot as an amateur".

We had a good laugh over it, later drew suggested that we head over to Nick's studio and I couldn't agree more. With my ongoing exams, I barely had any opportunity to go there.

I wasn't going to Parrot until the end of the week. It was our standard arrangement, whenever I started my exams. But of course i'd pay back those lost days over the holidays.

It suddenly occurred to Nick that 'drew had practice with his band around this time of the day and in his kindness, reminded drew.  I coughed involuntarily and i deduced from 'drew crest fallen expression that he hadn't informed Nick about leaving the crackers.

"I left". Drew spoke into the heated silence, and that was the end of the conversation. We walked in silence till we arrived outside Nick's studio.

Nick's studio hadn't changed a bit. It was a two room studio, with the first room as a mini waiting room filled with different pictures, some of which were hand-drawn. The second room, was the main room, which was also divided into two. One part was where he took indoor shots with his camera and the other part is like a small office where he develops his films amongst other things.

Drew and Nick walked into the second room, while i stayed in the first, there wasn't any customer yet.

As I stand transfixed by nick's drawings, i hear the sound of  drake's heavy step as he entered and existed the studio in a continuous motion. Then beth walked out of the second room, and immediately she notice me she pulls me into a hug. Drake and beth, are nick's partner in the studio.

Drew and I would often tease beth, calling her a makeshift receptionist.

I stared at some of Nick's newest works on the wall. Two particular drawing caught my eye, one was of a young man on bent knees,  proposing to a lady who was clearly rejecting his offer with a distasteful expression on her face.

The second drawing was of a girl, but my attention was on the blue bag carelessly propped against her feet. It reminded me of Elsa's bag, and in turn, Elsa.

I hadn't seen much of Elsa since the commencement of my exams, and I wasn't at fault. Elsa appeared to gotten a particular distaste to either the corner or me.

She was highly infrequent and would sometimes ignore me by putting her headphones over her head throughout her stay on the rocky companion or answer each question with a monotonous reply. She didn't ask any questions and never answered the ones that didn't appeal to her. Like the ones, in which I asked what was wrong or if I had offended her. 

My attention went back to the girl in the picture, who had a striking pair of aquamarine eyes and long brown hair. It was about to deflect my suspicion of the girl been Elsa, when I see a black and neon green headphone close to the blue bag.

My mind was racing with questions of how Nick saw Elsa and managed to draw her. I also noted that the surroundings looked somewhat strange, as though it wasn't Sepia.

Fun fact: I can't dance to save my life.
