Mia had, after making sure Bird had settled in and had food and water, made her way to the art studio, wishing for someplace to think, and maybe sort out her feelings and thoughts. She had sat down with a medium sized canvas, a few brushes and multitudes of acrylic paints, and had started painting just anything that came to her as she mused about what had happened. Between her and Zack in the clearing... birght colours spattered across, and she switched brushes to add more detail. But Mia was getting ahead of herself.
"I don't think he felt the same way as me." She said to herself aloud, pretty close to tears. How could he? He had been with that other girl.

Mia's painting began to form the clearing, though the only living thing apart from the plants was the black stallion, standing in the middle, looking uncertain of where to go. The bright colours in the sun contrasted with the darks of the fringes of the forest, and Mia had to smile, despite herself.

Zack wandered through the school, not entirely sure where he was going. He passed the art studio and saw a light on inside. He poked his head in and saw Mia, of all people, sitting with her back to him, painting. He walked in quietly to stand a short distance behind her. "That's beautiful," he murmured softly, his hazel eyes still full of turmoil which he was trying and failing to hide.

Mia's body stiffened as she heard Zack's voice, her face heated up a bit. She composed herself, took a breath, kept the smile on ehr face and turned.
'Thank you." She said, sitting backwards on her chair.
"And what brings you here?" She asked, delicatley lifting her left eyebrow up independant of the other one.

Zack's eyes dropped to his feet. "I don't know, I was just wandering around and saw the light. Maybe I was looking for you."

Mia leaned on her chair, resting her arms on the back of it. Her eyes stayed on Zack as she smiled.
"Do you paint or draw?" She finally asked, curiosity in her voice.

"I draw fashion designs, and I dare you to laugh." he said, his eyes narrowing playfully as they sparkled at her.

Mia brought her lips into a wide smile, almost laughing, but then brought them back down, a playful expression on her face. She leaned closer to Zack's face and put her index finger on his lips, showing the quiet sign.
'Don't worry, I won't laugh." She said, smiling.

Without even thinking, he kissed her finger, then paused, uncertain how she would react.

Mia's violet eyes widened as Zack kissed her finger, and the smile slid off her face. She stared at him, confusion whirling inside of her.
"You're a player." She whispered, bringing her hand back. She had heard about him. Mia liked him, sure, but she didn't want to get hurt so much again. Her eyes clouded as she thought about this, trying to control herself.

Zack took a step back and dropped his head, but not before she had a chance see the upset expression in his eyes. "Sorry," he murmured softly, trying to control himself. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm very sorry to have upset you." He turned to leave, feeling a pang in his chest that he had never felt before.

Mia sighed and then let out a soft chuckle as she shook her head and looked at Zack, who had turned and gotten ready to leave.
"I never said I wanted you to leave, did I?" She questioned, acting much braver than she felt. Yes, she had faced wild animals and crazy weather, and had faced numerous boys in her life. But she was willing to give Zack a chance.

Zack paused, then shook his head. In all honesty, he said "No. I should go. You deserve way better than me."

Mia sighed in an exasperated manner and decided, like Zack, to be totally honest, which was quite a hard thing for her in this situation.
"Zack, that's one thing that gets me really mad. You're saying I deserve much better, yet barely know me. Who are you to judge? I..." At this, she paused, feeling her cheeks flame. She closed her eyes, her lashes brushing her cheeks.
"I really like you. I don't know how you feel about me, I just know that it's unfair I should feel like this, when you're obviously with somebody else. Sorry." She mumbled quickly, squeezing her eyes.

Zack shook his head. "That is why you deserve better. You're willing to be honest. That alone means you deserve someone better than me. And I'm in an open relationship with her. More like...friends with bonuses."
