Chapter Five
Time For A Change
âMrs. Salters will see you now.â the sturdy looking receptionist said as she peered over her glasses at Chloe and pointed to a wooden door on the right.
Each step that Chloe took towards that door felt like an eternity. The door was only two feet away, but each step pushed her back another foot. She had built her dreams up behind that door. She prayed that her hard work would be recognized. That the lady would say - âYou are everything we have been looking for.â But she felt a tightness in her chest that made it difficult to breathe, and her throat was so dry she couldnât swallow.
Chloe opened the door to see a middle-aged lady with brown hair pulled back into a tight, low bun. Mrs. Salters smiled warmly, and suggested that Chloe take a seat across from the large wooden desk in front of her.
âLetâs start with why you want to study at our school, shall we?â she asked, although Chloe couldn't help but feel as though she was seeking compliments to the school. Chloe had no problem giving them - she had done her research and she knew it was the best school for the direction she wished to pursue.
âI want to learn about the different styles in art and how I can incorporate them into my artwork. And most importantly I want to challenge my thinking.â Chloe said shyly as she opened her portfolio and placed it on the desk in front of Mrs. Salters, cringing as she did so. This blocked the energy that traveled through her body, making her shake with nerves, but she couldnât keep her feelings of insecurity from surfacing. She felt as though her artwork reflected that of a tormented child, an emotional disaster splattered across the canvases. She held her breath, silently awaiting Mrs. Salters critique.
âYour style is quite strong Chloe.â Mrs. Salters commented as she turned each page, staring at each image for less than two seconds. âI donât necessarily think that it is a bad thing, but here, we encourage students to expand their mind, to open up new doors. Itâs a matter of streamlining your paintings so you will be able to sell them as pieces of artwork.â She hesitated, her mouth slightly open and tongue to the roof of it, as though deep in thought. âI donât think you have much flexibility in your vision that would enable you to explore different pathways. I think you should just keep doing what you are doing, but perhaps attend a business school or something more along the lines of how to execute your paintings.â
Chloeâs mind rolled with confusion. What was this woman saying? Was this a rejection? Was she actually saying no, you are not invited to attend my school? Wasnât Chloe the one who would be paying them? Chloe nodded silently, but she wasnât listening anymore to what Mrs. Salters was saying. Her mouth was opening and closing and words were coming out, but they seemed irrelevant - her facial expressions said it all.
