FreshmanHal listened as Adelaide explained to him how to find inspiration, realizing that he didn't have a way out of this. He went through his options in his mind as she gave him her advice. I could always fake getting sick. But he was sure there was an easier sloution than that. 'it could be as simple' As Adelaide spoke those four words Hal suddenly devised a genius plan. He could just draw something simple. Something so simple that not even he could mess it up. He scanned the room until his eyes fell upon the object between Adelaide's fingers, a simple, easy to draw paintbrush. "Okay, I see." he said as she finished up her speech. He nodded and acted as if her advice had taught him how to find inspiration instead of confusing him about it even more. "I think I've got an idea." he said as he picked up a paintbrush and began his simple painting of a paintbrush. After a few minutes of painting, he put the paintbrush down. He looked at his painting, which wasn't half bad, it only looked like maybe an 8 or 9 year old painted it, which was better than what Hal usually drew. Hal was proud of himself for a moment, but then he made the mistake of looking at Adelaide's. Her's was perfect down to the last detail. She had even managed to somehow imitate a sunset perfectly. Hal then glanced back at his, which seemed plain and dreadful in comparison.

All our best heroes are losers.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬When Hal replied, Adelaide's smile grew for a moment before waivering and quickly returning to her neutral state. Although this wasn't the same expression that she had when she was bored, it was not her smiling, it was more the focused expression that she had while she painted. Turning her head away from him, she continued to paint, taking a step back and measuring it up whenever she needed to make adjustments so it was absolutely perfect. As she began on the final touches, she noticed Hal look over to her painting when he was done with whatever he was working on before looking back to his own. Removing her paintbrush from the canvas for a moment, her amber eyes then fell upon his painting. Although she did have a superiority complex when it came to the other micronations, since she was one of the only ones to be officially recognized, but she definitely wasn't that way when it came to art. Art was everywhere and there were different levels of it. Sometimes even something simple and shoddy could be seen as an absolute masterpiece. "I like it." She told him as she placed a hand upon his shoulder and gave it a friendly squeeze. "Just keep at it and you will improve, trust me." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

FreshmanHal nearly jumped when Adelaide approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. "You really... like it?" he said with a hint of surprise showing in his voice. He didn't even think it was good, and he painted it. But then again, when he looked at it again he realized that he had subconciously followed Adelaide's advice for finding inspiration. When painted the paintbrush he thought of Adelaide, because she loved art so much, and when he thought of Adelaide... Well that was an emotion strange and unfamiliar to Hal.
"Maybe..." he started to say, a blush starting to warm his face as he spoke. "Maybe you could, um, help me with my art?" he suggested. Perhaps with her as a tutor of sorts he could get to be good at it.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Adelaide felt the tension in his shoulder and immediately took her hand away from it so she wouldn't upset him. She didn't know if he was like her when it came to physical touches, so it was better to be safe than sorry. "Yeah, I do like it. You told me you were a beginner, but even a beginner would still have some trouble drawing a paint brush like this." She commented with a satisfied nod. Yes, she knew exactly what he had drawn. Her critical eye wouldn't be fooled easily but still she didn't know the reason why he painted a paint brush. Maybe if she asked, he would tell her. But as she heard his voice once more, she turned her head and looked at him once more, quirking a brow in slight confusion. But once he asked his question, her features immediately lightened and her smile returned to her face. "Of course I can help you, every time we come to class I can help you and if we have any projects assigned, you can always call on me for assistance." She told him with a sturdy nod. "Oh that reminds me, our teacher was talking about a project due by the end of the week, something that represents you I think. Want me to help you find inspiration for that?" ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

°o.O—¤ 𝔗ris ¤—O.o° εїз The Tennessee Walking Horse εїз Just as the class got settled the door burst open as Iris finally allowed England to properly show her away. The chestnut mare was still carrying Spain's tomato in her mouth by the stem and glanced around until her eyes finally fell on Tennessee. With a joyous whinny she ran straight for her state without any care for how many desks or easels she knocked over in the process.

☀Andrew S. Hickory☀ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ "So I guess you're in the same situation as me, huh..." Tennessee muttered although he was impressed his baby sister knew how to make weapons. Maybe he could ask her to show him the sort of stuff she made instead of trying to paint. Weapon making was a art, too, right? Although he somewhat doubted they'd have the supplies here for that. Andrew blinked when he thought he heard an oddly familiar clicking noise on the school tiles. It almost sounded like a horse but that was crazy, wasn't it? He decided to ignore the sound until he heard a familiar whinny. The Volunteer State froze for a moment as his eyes widened and turned around just in time to see the mare charging through the classroom to his side. "I-Iris!?" he gawked as the horse nuzzled him affectionately and almost knocked the boy over in her enthusiasm. ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

FreshmanHal relaxed as Adelaide lifted her hand off his shoulder, not quite sure why he had gotten all tense like that. He wasn't normally like that... Hal was glad to see her smile when he asked if she'd help him with his art, and it brought a smile to his face as well. However, the happy grin which was brought to his face when she agreed to help him was soon replaced by a look of fear when she mentioned the project that was due at the end of the week. His eyes fell to the ground as he contemplated this difficult project. A week... and it has to be something that represented him. He didn't even know where to begin, and even if he did, he didn't think his drawing skills could be anywhere near good enough to get him a decent grade in this class. But at least he had Adelaide to help him. "Uh, I... Yeah it'd be nice if you could help me with that." he said with a sigh as he looked back up at her.
When he looked back up, he was shocked to see a horse barge into the room. Seeing it go over and nuzzle Tennessee, Hal realized it was Iris, Tennessee's horse. "Andrew. Why did you bring Iris to school!" Hal didn't understand how his older brother could have thought that was a smart idea.

"Woah Andrew, I didn't know you had a horse!" she said, sounding completely fascinated by this fact. .x..x.

Well she didn't really know what to do for the class today and with the assignment on the board that stated that they had a project due by the end of the week, she just sighed heavily. What was something that could represent her? Well what was something that was popularized by American culture while simultaneously diluting her own? Ugh, that topic would definitely give her a headache and that was definitely not something she wanted. Suddenly, she heard a whinny behind her from one of the creatures she feared most. It wasn't an alligator or a shark or a snake, it was a horse. "Eep!" She cried as she quickly turned on her heel and poised herself behind Andrew, burying her head into his back while she gripped onto his shirt tightly, her eyes closed the entire time. （HawaiianRollarcoasterRide - . . .）

3. Survival of the fittest Arthur Kirkland
Student Vice President

The Junior GentlemanFinally! England was in control of the horse to find Tennessee. That is until the horse ran inside the art room, knocking down desks and aisles in the process. Arthur's face dropped at the damage. Arthur soon cleared his throat and straightened up, still wearing his gym clothes from the previous period, his Discipline Committee sleeve was still visible. "Andrew Hickory." he said in a clear but stern voice. "Is this your horse?" he asked. Ridiculous question sine he already knew that the horse was in fact his. (Out of Tea: )

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬"Alright cool, we'll start tonight after school." Adelaide told him before she heard a horse barge into the art room, throwing desks and random art supplies all over the place. Paint splattered on the floor while pencils rolled about, making a rather dangerous situation for someone if they weren't careful enough. She blinked up at the horse, not really knowing how to make heads of tails of this situation. "This ain't no booze bus Arthur, y'can't just be bargin' into classes like that!" She hollared at her fellow Kirkland the moment she saw him. It had been a long time since she had seen her uncle, but seeing him like this, in his uniform and definitely a fish out of water, made her begin to belly laugh. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

☀Andrew S. Hickory☀ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ "I-I didn't bring her!" Tennessee said to Hal as he brought up his hands to pet Iris' muzzle and also to push her back a bit so he could get a good look at the mare almost as if he was still having a hard time believing his walker had followed him to school. It was crazy to think she had come all this way just to see him. Andrew expected this from Violet but not from Iris! He started to ask the mare why she had come until he felt Hawaii latch onto his back and blinked over his shoulder at her in confusion. Was she scared of Iris? To the mountaineer that was crazy! Of course, he was practically surrounded by horse enthusiasts considering several of his neighbors also had state horses or at least they had always been proficient riders given the popular usage of horses before cars. Tennessee had never met anyone who was legitimately afraid of a horse before. "Leilani?" he started until he heard Seychelles' question and, more importantly, Arthur's. "What the ********!" Andrew gawked when he realized there was an Englishmen on his Tennessee Walking Horse. The shock quickly turned to anger as his cheeks flushed unhappily at the fact his precious Iris had been mounted by England of all nations. If he wasn't willing to share his siblings with their former colonizer then he certainly wasn't thrilled to see his beloved horse with Arthur either. "What do you think you're doin' ridin' my horse!? Get offa her, damn lobsterback!" he snapped almost instinctively as if they were right back in the War of 1812 all over again. ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Grade 9

xCherelle PetitxxxxxxFreshmanCherelle's fascination with the horse quickly turned to fear of Arthur as he entered with an angry look on his face and a stern tone of voice. She knew from experience that conversations that started like this often didn't end very well.
Though something taht shocked Cherelle almost as much was Andrew's language. She didn't think she had ever heard him cuss, and didn't think he did cuss. She didn't think of it as a bad thing, for she cussed from time to time as well, it was just surprising to her. Cherelle quietly backed away from the horse, and the angry nation who was atop it. .x..x.

The Junior Gentleman "You little Runt! How dare you continue to call me that!" Arthur snapped back. "Honestly this wasn't my choice. Your horse threw me onto her back." he huffed, even though it was hard to believe that mare could do such a thing. It still boggled the brit himself. Then turned to Adelaide. "As part of the Disciplinary Committee and student Vice President of this school, I have every right to be here." he replied back, reminding her of his authority. The blonde climbed down off of Iris. In a short few moments, Arthur went back to the main subject on lecturing the Volunteer state. "As stated in the school's rules. No Pets are allowed on the school's campus except for the dorms. Since this is your first referral I will drop the punishment for this. However this isn't a small pet and I will be only saying this once, either send Iris home immediately or she remains outside near the school's shed at all times."The brit pulled out his referral slips like a cop would speeding tickets and handed the state a pink slip with 'destroying school property' written on it. "This will be going to the office. I expect to see you after school everyday until the damage is paid up."(Out of Tea: )
