Chapter #4
Mural
by: Kimi
The room was not exactly tidy with comic books, papers, and paintbrushes strewn across the room. Matt gasped as he turned to the right seeing a beautiful mural across the length of the dorm room. There were angels and demons battling. The faces, the limbs, the grass below their feet was so real you could almost feel the heat of the fire that burned behind them, but somehow it wasn't disturbing. In the way he seemed to have guided the paint it seemed almost peaceful, because you knew who was going to win.
"You painted that?"
"Yea." Jerry shrugged as if the painting behind him like it was a messy sketch.
"You guess? Its like the most beautiful painting I've ever seen!"
"Nah, its nothing." He climbed onto the bed beside him and lay back. "I wish it came out better."
"You must be crazy, but won't they get mad?"
"Nope, not since my grandad pretty much built this place."
"That's cool," Matt sat on the bed that the other boy was splayed over on to get a better look at it.
He stared at it a while before he glanced at Jerry who seemed to have been studying him and turned away.
"What? Something wrong?"
"Nope, you want me to help you unpack?"
"You don't have to."
"It's okay, lets go so I can show you around the place."
Matt pulled up his torn up suitcase to his own bed and unlocked it. Clothes popped out and hit him in the face. He cursed aloud annoyed to be embarassed in front of his new friend and began to struggle with his clothes stuffing them into random drawers. He stopped suddenly when he heard a light giggling besided him.
"Maybe you should be nicer to your clothes,because yours don't seem to like you," Jerry reached out to help Matt untangle himself. He than, along with Matt began to fold the clothes and place them into their respectful drawers. As they worked they talked and before they knew it all of Matt's stuff was put away. Matt couldn't help ,but feel almost dissapointed, he hadn't had so much fun doing chores before. Jerry was definately something else.
"Well, we're all done, let's go."
"Where?"
"Mm, how about we go to the grounds, I can show you the horses."
"Sure."
