Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Everyone's eyes fell on Aryan, including students who had passed by and the contestants from other team. After the live broadcast of the contest yesterday, anyone from Skyler and Bentson University who was interested in comics would know Aryan who was a legendary drawer. Now that Aryan did not be with those from September Drawing Club but joining Nina's studio instead, it was like kicking the soccer ball into one's own goalpost at the moment of scoring a goal. Yet when compared to September Drawing Club, Nina's studio was indeed more powerful and there was way more space for improvement. Therefore it was decent for a talented person to follow Nina.

Everyone had wanted to ask the same question as Emily did. They were staring at Aryan waiting for his final answer, yet he did not utter a word when he faced them. Instead, he suddenly extended his hand and put his arm around Nina's waist. What was his relationship with Nina? The answer was baffling but certain. They had been together and he had made it clear without speaking a word. Aryan did not care other's look and he walked to the spectator's site while holding Nina. Nina did not have to participate in today's coloring category but to only watch the contest. Both of them walked towards the spectator's site and sat down under pairs of surprised and even shocked eyes. Many workers of the studio were following behind them as if protecting the queen and her man. It was certainly unnecessary to give extra explanations seeing that.

Rufus and Sally were dispirited and Emily patted both of their shoulders after heaving a sigh. "Everybody has their own ambition. Don't think about it anymore. Calm down and focus on dealing with the contest afterwards.” She grabbed Sally's shoulder and said with a serious look, "You must stay calm. Don't think too much. There would always be a way, okay?” Sally clenched her fist, took a deep breath and nodded hard. "Alright. I'll not disappoint you, and I'll definitely not let others make fun of us!” She shot a fierce glare at Aryan who was at the spectator's site yet he did not give her a single glance.

Still biting her lip, she said with a straight face, "Our September Drawing Club would not be defeated that easily! We can certainly do it! So there's no point to be anxious, we need only to do our best.” Emily gave her a light push and said, "Go on, Joe's waiting for you.” Sally could only try her best to regain her composure and she followed Lois with Joe for registration.

little at first but she started to get into her stride after half an hour. Sally and Joe had only managed to complete the sixty grids during the last minute and when they returned to the spectator's site, Sally's limbs were cold and sweat was all over her face and forehead. "I was really nervous!” She could finally heave a sigh of relief after all the panic. "The judges say they would announce the result sooner so we'll only leave after that.” Lois told them the information she got just now. Emily spoke when Sally and Joe sat

before spending twenty or thirty minutes. Some people had grown impatient with the wait and left. Emily and Terry met Nina who had just come out of the hall when they were carrying two bags of mineral water bottles during their return. "You guys could definitely make into the final and it's meaningless to wait inside.” Nina grabbed Aryan's arm and smiled, glancing

"No. I'm confident of his skills.” How could they not pass the test as long as they completed it when it was Raphael's work? She had never seen any drawer that was more brilliant than him in the comic world. Now that he had returned to her side, September Drawing Club's success would only end this afternoon. "It's a group contest tomorrow. Do you have a
