Chapter 20: Photoshoot.

22nd August 2015, Saturday.

(You wait outside of your house for Bradley.

Soon he drives up to you in a posh car)

Bradley: Good morning!

Jay: Morning. (You climb into the car)

Bradley: Let's go! You ready for the competition?

Jay: Kinda.

(He starts driving..

. . .

You both sit in silence until..)

Bradley: Are you mad?

Jay: At what?

Bradley: Come on.. I kind of pressured you into this.. I shouldn't have talked to your dad.

Jay: It's fine.. at the end of the day it will benefit me. But.. Why do you want me to do this so much?

Bradley: Time to be honest.. So the recruiter of the photographer who wins a price will also get some money.. and I really need the extra cash.

Jay: Aah, Passion powered by Selfishness. Makes sense. (He chuckles)

Bradley: You have every right to call me Selfish, but when I say that you're one of the best teen photographers? I mean it. And I see you winning at least the 3rd price. And hey, it will benefit both of us! So.. a win win situation.

Jay: Don't worry, not really mad at you.. just wish you were honest from the start.

Bradley: I wish too, and I apologise for that.

Jay: Can't you just ask your parents for extra cash? You're like one of the richest kids in school.

Bradley: Believe me, they are not as giving as they look. Wanna listen to some songs?

Jay: Sure.

(You both mellowly jam to some songs as he drives..

. . .

Finally you reach the destination, you both climb out of the car..)

Jay: Wow.. (You look around the grand mansion)

This is gorgeous..

Bradley: You head in I'll come after parking.

Jay: Umm… Can we head in together? I'm new to all this.

Bradley: ..Sure. (After parking you both head in and you see Mr and Mrs.Collins sitting in the outside garden with a lot of people.

Mom, Dad!

Mrs.Collins: Brahms! welcome.

Mr.Collins: Father and Mother, Brahms..

Bradley: Yes, father. This is my friend.. Jay.

Jay: Hello Mr and Mrs.Collins, I'm Jay Johnson. (Mr.Collins extends his hand and you gently shake it)

Mr.Collins: Now that's a nice introduction.

Mrs.Collins: Hi honey, what a wonderful kid you can address me as Willow Mam.

Bradley: Is the "Mam" really necessary?

Jay: No it's fine.

Mr.Collins: Brahms you should learn some etiquette.

Mrs.Collins: Brahms let him prepare for the competition, show him the ropes no?

Bradley: Gladly, come Jay.

Jay: Umm.. Goodbye.

Mrs.Collins: Bye honey.
