The Art Of A Butterfly Effect
*This story is all fictional and I use some of the real-life places and some other stuff as a ref and this story contain some violent stuff too*
A club in a high school huh? I wonder which club I should join maybe a club where I can just slack off and do nothing since the club that I've been staying in the photography club got disband because the member makes a god damn bomb out of a camera I don't know how but that person finds a way to make it and the reason is that he made it for fun, and the teacher that supervises the photography club got fired too. Jesus, I need to stay away from this type of people.
Now, which club should I choose? Maybe the one that I can slack off this time. That would be nice but the reality is often disappointing. While I was thinking my friend Nam asks me
"Don't know which one to join Six?"
I answer
"Yeah, I have no clue at all, you know I just want to join a club where I can take it easy."
Nam replies with
"Art club then, since the new teacher who's in charge of supervising the club is pretty cool and chill."
Wow, never think of that. I must be dumb or something, well probably because the art club last year is pretty much all serious and no fun, but this time I heard that the new art teacher is pretty cool, just from what Nam told me anyway. Well, I guess will have a look then.
I walk to the shoe stand in front of my class, I pick up my shoe and wear it, then I walk to the art room to have a look and wow, there's only one person there. This person looks kinda handsome, he has light pink eye with a gentle gaze and wears glasses.
"Having a look?"
He asks me, and I reply
"Yes, I still don't know which club I should join but I probably end up here if nothing interests me."
That person replies
"Oh cool, let's hope that you will join then."
he said that as he gives me a soft and gentle smile. That smile on his face looks so soft that it makes me want to join this club. But no that probably one of his tricks to get a beautiful maiden like me to join the club. I walk into the room and have a look around and forget about taking the shoes off before entering the room, hope that he doesn't mind it. Suddenly he looks at me and said,
"Oh, my name is Nung by the way, I'm in mathayom 4, I'm the only mathayom 4 kid here in the room and I'm the oldest here of the member group, I also take care of everything here since the teacher is lazy as hell, the other club teacher is always there with their student just to take care of the stuff and give us the order of what to do but this person wants to use this time to relax and sleep hahaha"
He gives me his name and all of the detail even though I didn't even say that I will join the club, it like he think that I will join the club for sure. He looks at me with a very gentle and warm smile this time and says
"I know that there're no other clubs for you because my club is perfect for you."
I quickly ask him
"What makes you think that?"
To which he replied,
"You want to slack off right."
Now he said it with a big smile on his face as if he was waiting to say this.
"Don't worry it not like there will be any trouble here, since the club supervisor is also lazy so he can't do anything about that. Plus if everyone takes this club seriously then you would have found all 8 members here in the club, but just so you know everyone must draw at least once in a while, it can also be a random scribble as long as you put your feeling into it. Because everything is art."
He does have a point about people in this club can do whatever they want. But a random scribble? Really? Now that exaggerating.
"A random scribble? what? there's no way that can be art you're exaggerating right now you know that?"
to which he replied
"Well, why don't you open that box over there under the table. That's where we kept everything that we draw and paint. There're a lot of boxes so pick one."
Well, I left with no choice but to look at it. I walk to the table that Nung mentions and get one of the boxes out of there and have a look at it.
I found both a canvas and paper, some of them are just random scribbles like he said but when I look at it I can sense some kind of emotion from it? Just wow. There's also a realistic drawing, a cartoon, graffiti, and what's this? Someone is making a manga? well, I guess that guy really likes manga then. But well for me I don't like reading the Thai language anyway I prefer English, but damn this guy's art style is pretty good, maybe I will give it a try if this guy publishes a story.
But for real I can't Imagine stuff like manga going to boom here in Thailand so I guess this person will be better off in Japan or something.
After I look at some of the art that all of the members made, I've decided that I will join this club, because it really just like what he said. Plus I probably can sleep here inside this club without any problem. After all, he said that everyone here in the club can do whatever they want. I put everything back in the box and turn around to tell Nung that I will join the club but he's gone. Is he a ninja or something? Well, at least I got to look at what he was painting on the canvas. To my surprise, it's a butterfly. The color that he used is red and black. No, it's not a normal red color. It's red like blood. it also looks like the butterfly is struggling with something. The more I look at it, the more I feel... sad?
Then suddenly a kid came into the room. He has brown hair with brown eyes and he looks pretty generic but cute? He looks like he in mathayom 1 judge from his height. Then he suddenly asks me.
"You're the girl that brother Nung talks about right?"
I reply
"Yes? why?"
and he asks me
"Well what do you think sis"
to which I reply
"Well think about it now I guess it's fine joining this club since it looks fun, plus he said that I can slack off here without any problem."
that boy looks at me with a face that looks like he about to say
"Argh... you people."
And suddenly he said,
"Argh... you people."
Hah, guess I was right
"Well, not like I care anyway since to draw something must come from your feeling anyway. So don't forget to draw something once in a while now sis."
He said that as he walks toward the painting that I've been looking at,
"It's weird, right? this painting, well I'll be taking this then since brother Nung ask me to get this plastic paint palette to him."
He said that as he picks it up
"Well, where is he?"
I said
"He's in a toilet washing his hand"
The kid replied then said
"Don't think much about it because it would have been better that way."
"What do you mean by that?"
I ask him and he replies with
"Well I don't want to say it because I don't want to make a newcomer feel uncomfortable plus if you wanna know it I suggest find it out by yourself sis, Only I know about his paint special color anyway. Oh and by the way, my name is Tongkam nice to meet you, and next week every member will be here to meet you and give you a warm welcome."
He said that as he gives me a creepy smile and walks away, I didn't even get a chance to say my name but well we still meet each other next week anyway so I guess there's no problem. I think that I will have a great time staying here since I can slack off so that's fine. But what that kid Tongkam said about Nung's special color really got me curious. Well, I don't have the time to be curious now, maybe later. Now let just head back to my class. As I walk I saw Nung, he probably goes back to the art room now. He saw me and ask me
"Have your answer yet?" to which I reply "Yes, and the answer is I will join the club."
Now he has a happy look on his face
"Thanks for joining and don't forget to come here next week."
He said that as he walks past me. I turn back to say sure with a happy tone but I don't have the chance to say it due to my eye catch on what seems to be some red paint on the side of his shirt. After I realize that I've been standing there for a while looking at that paint stain on him he already walks far enough that my voice will probably not going to reach him already, so it's not necessary to say it anyway, since I'll meet him next week. Let hope that this club will not have any weird trouble like my old club anyway.
But that's what I think. Because this is the start of a butterfly effect.
