blue ocean floor * bo!

[pearl iris jones]

pearl hated how the weekend was always way too short for her liking. her boyfriend, jake, had been gone with his friends all weekend so she spent it with her new bestfriend bo. bo was new in town and he was just a ball of fun. pearl had always got along with guys waaay better than she got along with girls, which is why she was always caught hanging out with a group of guys. up until she started dating jake she was always called a slut because of how many guy friends she had. the fact that pearl wasn't called a slut anymore didn't change the fact she was still one. she only had told her bestfriend who she hadn't seen all weekend about her being inlove with jake's twin. it was slowly killing her to lie to her boyfriend but she couldn't tell him... it was too much hurt for him to bear. her thoughts swirled around her mind as she tried to look for bo.

she entered the art room in hopes of finding him sketching in there. to her delight there he was with a mop of blonde hair sitting there. she quietly danced over to him and surprised him, "BO!" she said a little overjoyed, she was just so darn happy to see him. "long time no see!" she said jokingly, they had spent the whole weekend together. it was unlike pearl but she had spent it away from the parties and nightlife. "did you have fun this weekend?" pearl asked sitting down next to him and placing her head in her palms. she looked down at what he was sketching then back to him. bo was a gifted artist, she wished that he would talk about his art more. "what are you drawing?" pearl asked, as she focused her big eyes on his sketch pad infront of him.

BO AUGUSTUS GIBSON

I'm not that smart.

Bo was feeling inspired today. He wasn't sure why, but last night he had done a lot of thinking about his life and his choices. He thought about the kid he used to be and the kid he was now, and decided that he was going to continue living this way, because nobody liked the old Bo. The Bo who preferred to go by Augustus and was taking calculus in fifth grade, the Bo who preferred to read textbooks while all of the boys his age were into comic books, and the Bo who excelled at absolutely everything except making friends. Bo had ditched his old ways and become the guy he was now, and he loved every minute of it. Though he pretended he wasn't as good at things as he once seemed to be, he did stay talented at some things, like art. And after having a weekend of hanging out with one of his best friends, which he wouldn't have if he were still Augustus, he had realized that he had a brilliant drawing to create.

When he got to school, Bo headed straight for the art room. The concept was to draw to sides to a man. It would start as a drawing of his own face, cut in half, and each side would be making a different expression. The happy, dumb expression would have a background full of people and sunshine, and the lonely, concentrated expression would be empty, in the background an empty room filled with books with empty pages. Bo was excited, he knew this would be one of his best drawings yet. Nobody would understand its true meaning, but everyone would be able to get their own meaning out of it. This was a masterpiece waiting to happen.

Bo found a quality sheet of paper and a sharpened pencil, and began to get to work. He was unsure of the final medium he would use. Would it be pencil? Would it be chalk or charcoal? He hadn't yet decided. But all he needed right now was the basic outline and he could figure the rest out later.

Bo began to draw the basic outline of his head, his hair, and his facial features. He had decided to make it interesting and put his hipster glasses on only one side of his face, so he began to sketch the one lens. His excitement was building as he was enveloped into his work. The noises of surrounding classrooms and teachers went away, so much so that he couldn't even hear Pearl walk through the door.

"BO!" He jumped at the unexpected sound of his own name, causing his pencil to draw a stray line across the page. "long time no see!" He couldn't help but laugh at the situation before erasing the stray line. After he was finished, he set his pencil down and looked up at Pearl. "Pearl!" He said, a smile blazing his face. "Its been too long!" He leaned in to hug his friend that he had been hanging out with not 24 hours before. "did you have fun this weekend?" She asked him, and Bo could do nothing but nod. "It was SO fun!" He said happily. "We need to do that more often!"

Pearl was quiet for a few seconds, staring at his drawing. It was only in the rough sketch stages, but it was still pretty impressive for being a freehand drawing with no references. "what are you drawing?" She asked him, and he paused for a moment. He didn't talk about his art too much, because he was afraid that it wouldn't interest people. But he could talk about art forever. Maybe because he enjoyed it, maybe because he was good at it, but most probably because it was the only thing he had left. He had taken everything else he was passionate about and excelled in and hidden it away. All except for art and music. He looked at his artwork for a moment and a quiet smile came to his face. "Well, this is going to be a picture of me," He said. "But its going to be cut in half at the face there," He gestured to the shape that was the beginnings of his nose. "And each half is going to be-" He paused for a moment as he realized something. "Well Hello!" He said, his signature 'hello' coming out. He always introduced his videos with his charming little hello. It was something his fans knew and loved, and it was something everyone remembered him for. It was his signature word. "I forgot to draw the other eye!" Bo took his pencil and quickly sketched a perfect almond shape opposite the almond shape on the other side of the drawing's face. When he was done, he set his pencil down and leaned back in his chair. "Ah. All better," He said, beaming and turning to Pearl. "How are you today?" He asked her, his bluegrey eyes sparkling with curiosity behind his dark hipster glasses. Even though they had just hung out, he was curious to know how his friend was feeling. Emotions, situations, and lives could change in a matter of moments, after all.

OOC- Sorry for the super late reply. Life got busy for unexpected reasons. We can keep this rapidfire definitely now that everything is calmed down for a while. :D

pearl had snuck up on bo and he made a stray line across his drawing. she glanced over to inspect the damage she had done, but, as quickly as the line appeared, it disappeared. he set down his pencil and looked up at pearl with a beaming smile. she adored his smile, it made everyone around him feel happy. pearl leaned into his hug and embraced him tightly, "the weekend was too short." pearl said pulling away with a small frown on her face, it quickly disappeared and was replaced by her normal smile. as bo nodded to her question she beamed about the fond memories they shared this weekend. she liked staying in sometime's and this weekend was one of the few exceptions. "i know! i didn't know staying in could be so much fun." pearl said beaming with joy. she liked wearing her hair up in a bun/ponytail all weekend and with no makeup. there was no need to doll up with bo, he liked her for her.. not for the sex she would give him or the fact that she was a good time. bo was sincere to her and that's why she valued their friendship so much.

bo was drawing outlines which looked a lot like himself. he was such a great artist and pearl just wished she was half the artist he was. she only had the chance to thrive behind her camera talking to her viewers.. or when she was behind the turn tables. he always loved talking about art, she would listen intently always thirsting for more knowledge about the subject. bo wasn't the brightest in all his classes but when he spoke about art... he was like the modern day vincent van gogh. pearl wasn't bright at all... in any subject. as he talked about his self portrait, she couldn't help but look down and stare in amazement at what he thought of. he gestured to where the placement of his features would be, she couldn't believe how much thought was going into this sketch and it wasn't even done. pearl was about to say something when bo's signature "heeeelllooo" rang into her ears. she giggled lightly at the familiar greeting. she loved hearing it in his videos but hearing in real life was way better. he forgot to draw his other eye, "bo, i love it. you're so good at art.. never ceases to amaze me." pearl said watching him draw in the eye. she blinked a couple times as bo asked her how she was. "i'm good, just extremely tired from first period math. i hate my teacher and he thinks it's okay to yell fractions across the room at 8:30am." pearl said laying her head down on the table, "how was your day bo?" she asked moving a piece of hair that covered her face.
