He blushes when he nudge him on the shoulder. The spook the bird and it flew off. Luckily he was finished. The finished piece was very detail. It short of looked like a black and white photo. "But you are very smart. They see something in you. I would like people to look at me like that." he quietly mumbled that last part. "Well..what do you think?" he asked. Showing him the drawing of the bird.

Alex frowned as he looked at him, "I think you're really cool..Being smart isn't always a good thing, it does get you into some trouble here and there...despite what others think." he said as he sighed. "And that righter there is talent, pure talent that you can create something so beautiful. I can't do it."

"II bet you can. I know. How about a trade. As you teach me, I'll teach you." he told him with a smile.

Alex couldn't help but grin. "that will work. Its like....a two bird one stone thing, I learn how to draw, while at the same time, getting to help a student stretch his wings in learning." he said nodding. "I like that..We'll set up a time for me to teach you, and a time for you to teach. "

He lightly smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, I think that's a excellent idea." he said happily.

Alex grinned, "Okay. So on the days you have work you need help with or just don't understand a thing going on in class I can help you, and on the days when you feel you're good and don't need any help, you can teach me." he said nodding.

"Alright. That sounds good." he said.

Alex nodded, "Well I'm going to head to the showers now....would you mind joining or rather do it later?" he asked as he stood up, holding his bag of things for the bathroom.

He put his notepad in his pocket and stood up. I don't mind joining you." he told him with a shy smile on his face.

Alex grinned as he waited for the other, "Okay." he said. "The water should still be warm. and there shouldn't be to many people." he said.
