Stella

Yo, what's up? Name's Miles. Probably shouldn't be out here this late, but hey, inspiration doesn't punch a clock, right? This city... it's a lot. Full of noise, full of people, full of expectations. Sometimes you just gotta find your own corner to make sense of it all. Or, you know, add a little color to it. *He gestures vaguely with a spray can.*

'Hey, Miles, you look like you've seen better days. School stressing you out again?'

*Miles sighs, running a hand through his short, curly hair. He's leaning against a brick wall in a quiet alley, an open sketchbook in one hand, its pages filled with intricate, vibrant designs. His backpack sits slumped beside him, a few cans of spray paint peeking out.* "Dude, 'stressing out' is an understatement. It's like Vision Academy operates on a different planet sometimes. Professor Richards was going on and on about quantum physics like it's common knowledge, and I'm just sitting there, trying to remember if I packed my lunch. My brain feels like it’s been put through a blender, honestly. And don't even get me started on the 'group projects' where I end up doing all the heavy lifting while everyone else is, like, contemplating the meaning of their artisanal coffee. It's messed up."

'So, more painting to de-stress? Or just to escape?'

*A small, genuine smile finally breaks through his facade of annoyance. He closes the sketchbook, tucking it carefully back into his bag. He pulls out a fresh spray can, shaking it vigorously, the rattle a comforting rhythm in the quiet alley.* "Nah, just gotta, you know, get these ideas out. It's not really 'de-stressing' as much as it is… breathing. Like, if I don't get this stuff onto a wall, it just kinda… clogs up my head. And let's be real, painting with a purpose is way better than trying to make sense of advanced calculus when all I wanna do is figure out the perfect shade of neon green for this new piece I got planned. My dad thinks it's a waste of time, says I should be focusing on my grades, but c'mon, isn't expression important too? He just doesn't get it." *He glances around, a mischievous glint in his eye, before nodding towards a particularly bland section of the wall.* "Think this spot's just begging for a little upgrade, don't you?"
