Peter's Point of View
After failing to stop her from stealing any of the gold, I stayed in costume for a while, just making sure everyone was safe. I helped stop a few other robbers from getting away, but I could tell it was their first time trying to steal something, since they weren't very good at hiding it. They also didn't have powers, so it made it easy to stop them. Once I decided that there was no crime going on, I went back to my apartment to change. I knew that I'd need to get some kind of job soon, even if it wasn't one I wanted. I needed money, and being a superhero didn't pay much... or at all. Even if someone tried to offer me money, I wouldn't take it, because I felt like it was my responsibility to do this. I wasn't doing this to get paid. I may not have a real job, but I did have one way of making money by doing something I loved: playing music. Most of the time, I just grabbed a chair and my guitar, and played for people that were just walking by. Sometimes, if I was lucky, I was asked to play some music at places like restaurants, but it was usually just for one or two nights.
I was now wearing a grey t-shirt and blue jeans, treble clef tattoo clearly shown on my wrist. I carried a chair in one hand, my guitar in the other as I walked down the street. Finally finding a place on the sidewalk to set up everything, I sat down in my chair, taking my guitar out of the guitar case. I tuned the guitar for a moment, before starting to play something. It wasn't anything fancy, it wasn't even a song. I was just playing anything that came to mind, seeing what sounded good together.
Kaytlyn's Point of View
Please don't notice yourself in the drawing, please don't say anything about yourself in the drawing, please... I waited for him to speak again, not knowing what he was going to say. I had first thought he was a popular guy, but now I wasn't quite sure. Most of the popular guys at school acted like arrogant idiots. Popular girls acted like that too. They always thought they were so much better than everyone else, and that they had the right to say hurtful things to other people. This guy though... he was actually being very nice... unless it was just an act. As I hear him compliment my art, I wasn't surprised. I was confident in my artistic abilities, as well as my writing abilities. I knew I was a lot better than most, I just didn't brag about it like some people would. Right now, it was just done in pencil, but I'd add some color to it eventually... just not that much. I liked to find the balance between black and white drawings and colored drawings. I would go over my drawings with a black ink pen, but color in certain areas to emphasize them. Sometimes I would color in something random, leaving the rest of the drawing in black and white, just to see what people thought of it. That's what I liked about art. Everyone could be looking at the same picture, but think it meant something completely different than what the person standing next to them thought.
When he mentioned his photography, I knew that must have been what he was doing on his computer. I wanted to ask him if I could see some of the pictures he had taken, but I decided against it. I hadn't even said one word to him, how was I going to say enough words to ask him a question? As he asked me for my name, I knew I couldn't avoid that question. I took the sketchbook, holding it out in front of me a bit, high enough to hide my mouth. I looked between the drawing and him, as if trying to compare him to my drawing as I said, "Kaytlyn." I put the drawing back down on the table, knowing he was probably going to ask why I had just done that, but I wouldn't answer. For the most part, I liked how I looked. Of course, everyone had something about themselves they wished they could change. For me, it was my teeth. Or really, just the one tooth. Even if I wasn't afraid of him seeing it, I don't think I'd be saying much more than I was now, because I was shy around people I was meeting for the first time. Once I got to know someone though... good luck trying to get me to stop talking.
