Enter the Room of Creativity

As soon as they opened the door and entered, Yuki and Diana took in everything about the art room. The room was fairly large with several workstations arranged about. The exposed walls had dry splatters of various colors of paint, giving the appearance of abstract art. There were several shelves, cabinets, and other storage areas. The room had a few windows that overlooked the school courtyard. On several desks, counters, and shelves, there were various art supplies, such as paintbrushes, scissors, hooks, chisels, acid glue, etc. There were also a few pieces of art equipment, such as a sewing machine and a drying rack. Across the room, there were several unique art projects, like a face-in-hole board, an art piece made of magnets, etc. Even the ceiling had a few paper artworks hanging from it. The room felt like something out of Willy Wonka's factory. Yuki and Diana had been in this room a few times, but even they could feel the sense of creativity coming from it.

To Yuki's disappointment, there was no sign of any article of clothing in the room. She was really hoping to find something else to wear other than her current attire (the one she thinks she is wearing). The idea of people seeing her in this cheerleading outfit makes her uncomfortable.

"Hey, Diana?" Yuki says while facing her. "Be frank with me. How bad is my outfit?"

"To be honest, your outfit isn't that bad," Diana replies with her best poker face. "Sure, it may be a little bit risqué, but it's not revealing anything."

"Are you sure it's not that bad?" Yuki asks anxiously. "I really don't want to embarrass myself during the club meeting. Especially since Brandon might attend."

"Trust me. Your outfit is fine. You have nothing to worry about," Diana says reassuringly.

"Thanks, Diana. You're the best. Now let's start tidying this room up a bit," Yuki says, feeling more relieved and confident about herself.

The two girls split up and head to different areas of the room.

Diana mentally applauds herself for her lying and acting. She had managed to convince Yuki that there is nothing wrong with her current state. How Yuki hasn't realized that she isn't wearing any clothes is beyond her. What matters, though, is that her idea is still intact.

Diana thinks about what Yuki said about Brandon possibly attending the club meeting. Brandon is Yuki's crush and happens to be the fraternal twin brother of Blake, her crush. The brothers, who aren't club members, have expressed some interest in observing the A.V. club and mentioned that they might attend today's meeting. That means there is a good chance that Yuki is going to be naked in front of her crush. Diana feels guilt but manages to push it down. She'll make it up to Yuki once this is over.

Diana snaps herself out of her thoughts and starts cleaning.
