This is just something I wrote for an English class... I like it. It's a character sketch.

Duke Donwalter
Almost twice a week I have the pleasure of serving Nicole and her friends. We could call them Steak n Shake regulars even now if it wasnt for the smoking ban. Out of her friends, shes the prettiest, but also the strangest. Shes easy to please and her smile makes me smile.
Shoulder-length, red-orange hair and bluish-green eyes grab my attention as she inquires about my taste in music. I tell her and reflect the same question back. Shes into the whole seventies and eighties scene. She argues that Michael Jackson is heavy metal and says that hes her favorite. Im not a big seventies and eighties fan, but I know that Michael Jackson is not heavy metal. I reveal the chain around my leg to show her that Im heavy metal. She goes on to say that shes heavy metal by carving lonliness into her thigh. She laughs and says its supposed to say loneliness, but she forgot the e since she was drunk at the time.
Nicole would always come into Steak n Shake with an artsy edge. She would have dry paint on her clothes or skin and would occasionally use a paintbrush to hold her hair in place. She asked me one day if I would pose nude for her. Ive seen some of her work and its respectable. She has a real talent for painting, but I told her no to the pose. Maybe Ill give in later.
I still see her at other friends houses. Her personality is always so elevated that its hard to tell if shes tipsy or not. She likes to dance and sing and exchange stories with everyone. She wanted to get a story out of me, but I had nothing. Instead, I told her that I was doing a character sketch on her. She was amused and very pleased to share herself. She was so excited that she did a character sketch outline on me and revised my outline on her. (See Attached)
Upon telling her my scheme, she tells me only whats necessary to know about her. Nicole is afraid of the dark and also fears heights. She had just turned seventeen, and not sixteen like I thought. She not only carves into her leg, she carves into wood. I havent seen any of these pieces, but she tells me that her paintings are much better than the sucky wood carvings. She has a stripper name and it is Duke Donwalter. Thats all I know about her for now, but Im sure there is plenty more to find out.
