turtle boy <3

i wake up in my apartment at 7am sharp, yawning
(having a headache from my blasting alarm) and completely exhausted. -my night classes yesterday really messed up my sleeping.. i quickly grab and open my phone to see my schedule.

6pm- PORTFOLIO DUE

"SHIT!" i whisper, i totally blanked out and forgot to finish my photo portfolio that's due TODAY. It's for my college acceptance, and i've been looking forward to getting into art college my entire life,, i can't blow this.

i look at what i have so far,,,

- some landscapes
- my friends
- nature shots

ugh what can i do that i haven't done already??
umm,, i could do a close up shot! Of maybe a animal, or something like that,, i could go to the zoo, THE AQUARIUM- i love the aquarium, i'll go as soon as i get ready. I put on my outfit, grab my book bag, and quickly get a protein bar. Then i hop on the bus to the aquarium.

The bus isn't as dirty as usual, which is surprising . I used to go on the city busses everyday to school and i still do but some days they are really,, disgusting. I see my stop and i hop off the bus not before thanking the bus driver,, i think people should appreciate them more i mean,, they do a lot for the city.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Walking in I see soo much inspiration for my portfolio. the colorful tanks, the sealife, the touch pool. I can't wait to start taking pictures. i run up to the front desk and pay for my ticket and quickly make my way into the aquarium.

It's strangely quiet, which i like i'm pretty introverted and don't really like people talking to me, especially,, while i'm taking pictures. I walk around for a bit seeing all the sights and i see a boy staring at the touch pool. He has dark hair and hazel eyes. He seems like he's all alone and looks concerned,, or maybe afraid? I walk up to talk to him.

"Hey are you okay,," i ask him
"Hey,, I'm sorry i just,, yeah um, my names Isaac" He says in response, for some reason he won't look in my direction at all.
"Oh nice to meet you! My names Lillian!" I put out my hand for him to shake, but he wouldn't shake my hand. "So,, do you like the touch pool?" i say trying to make conversation.
"I wish i could touch the sea creatures,, but the textures are too much for me,," 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯.
"oh,, well,, (i pause thinking about what to say) "i mean there's plenty of other things to do"
"Yeah, my favorite creatures to look at are all of the turtles,, did you know that--"

"I think you talking about stuff you love should never be annoying, to anyone" 𝘪 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.

We walked around together for about two hours and after we went to lunch. I got a picture of a turtle andd Issac for my portfolio :) -i went on the bus and walked back into my appartment.

That night i dreamed about the cute turtle boy at the aquarium and wondered when i'll get to see him again. <3
