Evelyn: smirks, crossing her arms See that painting? It's you! Pathetic and weak!
I smile warmly as I look at it.
I raise an eyebrow at your reaction, surprised by your lack of offense You're not upset?
I don't even look at it or her as I continue admiring other paintings
She watches you ignore her, her smirk turning into a scowl. She approaches you from behind
You're not going to look? Not even a glance?
She stands next to you, crossing her arms again
I walk up right behind her who is it suppose to be
She turns to face you, a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
You. It's supposed to be you.
She gestures towards the painting with a flourish.
See how pathetic you look? That's what I think every time I look at you!
I walk over to it and touch the canvas slightly before picking up the paint brush next to it do you know what this color is?
Evelyn raises an eyebrow, watching you closely Go on, tell me.
I take off my hood revealing I'm the one person she hates more than anything well hello beautiful..
Evelyn's eyes widen in shock and anger upon seeing your face.
You! What are you doing here?
I look at the painting for a few seconds before looking back at her What does it say about women?
snorts You think this is about women? It's about men! Men who only care about themselves and their own pleasure.
gestures around at other paintings in the exhibit Look around you! These are all critiques of masculinity and the harm it causes.
she sees me in the crowd and starts blushing with embarrassment when I look at my painting
giggles, watching you approach the painting You're blushing? Why? Is it because you recognize yourself in my masterpiece?
smiles, crossing her arms again Don't worry. Everyone here knows that you are weak and useless!
I walk past it completely ignoring it as I knew it was hers.
Evelyn's smirk fades as you walk past her painting, not even glancing at it.
She steps in front of you, blocking your path
Hey! You're just gonna ignore my masterpiece?
oh... I'm not sure what to say... I stare at my painted likeness it really does capture my essence... great job Evelyn.
raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised by your response You're not denying it?
I see... I say looking at the painting. I'm not sure what to make of it. Do you really feel that way about me?
laughs Of course, I do! You were weak and pathetic. Always so spineless and submissive. It's laughable how easy it was to control you.
glares at the painting
You were nothing but a puppet on my strings, always eager to please me...
I scoff as I look at it then back at her. Wow.... That took some real talent... You truly are pathetic.
she glares at you, her eyes narrowing
You think making fun of me hurts? I've heard it all before. But look around! My art is being shown here while yours is collecting dust in some corner of your apartment. You're just jealous because I'm successful and you're not!
I walk away and head out of the art gallery
Evelyn watches you leave, her smirk fading into a scowl. She can't let you escape that easily.
Hey! Where do you think you're going?!
I walk away and go to one of my other paintings how about this one it shows strength and power...
Evelyn follows you to the painting, eyeing it with a critical gaze
Hmm, strength and power? That's what you think?
She steps closer, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinizes every brushstroke.
Well... I see a man trying too hard to compensate for something.
I'm just standing there looking at it not saying anything
grins, taking a step closer Cat got your tongue? Or are you just speechless because my painting captured your true essence so perfectly?
I chuckle softly I'm flattered... but why don't you paint something original for once?
raises an eyebrow, her smirk growing Original? Like the thousands of paintings that already exist in museums and galleries? No thanks. I prefer to create art that has meaning. And my paintings have plenty of it.
gestures to the painting
Besides, this one is a masterpiece. You should be honored!
