Violet walked out into the courtyard with her sketch pad in her hand. She stood for a few moments, admiring the simple beauty of nature before walking over to a bench and sitting down. She flipped open her sketch pad to a blank page and held her pencil about and inch above the paper all ready to draw. Now all she needed to do was come up with something good to sketch...

Aravis ran outside, and climbed up a tree. Minutes later she poked her head out of the tree's leaves.

Violet looked up to see a person zooming into a near by tree. She stared at the tree for a few minutes, a little confused, wondering if she had just imagined it. Then Aravis poked her head out of the branches. Isn't that the girl who fainted in the hallway? Violet thought to herself. "...um, hi," she greeted her, trying to be friendly.

"um.....hi." she said sinking into the tree at the sight of her.

"W-what are you doing up there?" Violet asked curiously.

Aravis was now so deep in she was sure This girl couldn't see her" Um......nothing"

"Oh." Violet looked down at the blank page and then at tree where Aravis was in. "..um, why don't you come down here and sit with me?" What the heck am I doing? Violet thought frantically. She had never invited a stranger to sit with her before, but Aravis seemed harmless.

Aravis didn't answer her.

Violet stared at the tree for a few moments, waiting for an answer. She looked down at her blank sketch pad and at the tree with Aravis in it. She look back down at the sketch pad and touched her pencil to the paper and the the shape of a tree began to form.

Aravis popped her head out of the tree." What are you doing?" she asked confued.

Violet looked up suddenly when she heard Aravris. "Oh, I'm, um," she pulled the half finished drawing of the tree closer to her body. "I'm just sketching."

"Oh." She climbed lower from the tree like a monkey, and jumped. She started to walk away "Bye. I don't want to ruin your drawing."

"Oh, um, o-ok," Violet murmured, not sure what else to say. She clutched her drawing close to her chest.

"You be safe now." she called to the girl .

"Oh, ok... you too," Violet said as she watched Aravis leave. When she was gone, Violet lowered her sketch pad and continued her drawing.
