Chapter 8

I got the email two hours ago. I’ve been avoiding it like the bad omen that it probably is, wishing it would just disappear from my inbox and never resurface in my life.

With November here already, the air is colder, crisper and somehow more annoying than ever. Nothing in my closet looks good and I wonder how I got through last winter with such a pathetic wardrobe. Then it hits me. Park wasn’t here last winter. I was able to go days without shaving my legs and I wore the same three sweatpants on rotation every day of the week. When I wasn’t wearing my paint pants of course.

The paint pants are an old pair of yoga pants that I once got paint on while I was making a canvas. Now I wear them almost every time I paint, just in case I spill anything.

Last winter was easy when it came to finding clothes to wear. However, it was the hardest winter ever emotionally. I missed him like crazy. His racing schedule was hectic and I barely saw him for Christmas.

Now this year he’s here for good, and all of the time. As much as I love seeing that boy every day, right now my closet is looking pretty dreary.

In an effort to prolong picking out something to wear, I grab my phone again and look at the stupid email. Midterm grades are in. I’m only taking two classes this semester, both because I suck, and because my parents had some massive house expenses to fix last summer and couldn’t afford to pay for more classes. Not that I minded. I hate college.

I know I need to get it over with, rip off the proverbial bandage and see what kind of grades I’m making so I’ll know if I need to drop a class. Or two. When I click the link and see my grades load, I’m not exactly sure how I feel.

I’m passing both classes, but barely. As I’m contemplating how pissed my parents would be if I dropped out of school forever, my phone gets a new email message. I have another sale on Etsy.

A familiar feeling falls over me as I read through the email, noticing that the buyer has purchased two canvasses. It’s the same feeling, the same nagging idea that’s been bothering me every single time I make a new sale. The idea that maybe I should just quit school, cut back my hours at C&C and focus on painting full time.

It’s crazy, right? I can’t possibly think this is a smart idea.

But it feels like a smart idea. My inspirational quote canvases have been selling almost as quickly as I can list them, and it’s been steady since day one. This could be a thing. This could be my thing. I scroll back through my emails to the one that displays my class grades. Community college isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Maybe some people do well in these stupid mandatory classes
