Braidyn smiled gently at the cashier and walked away with her Pinkberry yogurt in hand. The day was young and the air was warm and dry. Locals filled the Camdon Shopping Center with friends and family. Eating away at my chocolate yogurt that was dressed with Cap'N Crunch, I watched the action of the center take place. Faces expressed laughter as their physical explored the different shops. Children bugged parents, while teenage girls and boys tried to find their young love. I smiled at the sight of life happening right before my eyes. Feeling her presence, Braidyn stood next to me, dipping into her cold yogurt.

"What are you smiling about?" She asked as she took a bite. Taking a bite as well, my eyes roamed the shoppers.

"Life," I said trying to swallow the cold yogurt. "everyone is experiencing life. It's such a beautiful thing."

"I think your just happy to get out of the apartment." She said as she took another bite. I smiled at her comment and took another bite as well. We stood infront of the yogurt shop eating away as we people watched. Finishing up ten minutes later, we threw away our empty cups and began to walk.

"So did you ever get his name?" She said asking out of the blue. I thought for a second and kept looking straight ahead.

"No," I paused. "for some reason I didn't ask." Braidyn smacked her lips.

"Thats your mistake." I smiled at her comment.

"Whatever." I said playfully.

"It is Kurbi. How do you meet a guy, who you are obviously attracted to, and not ask him for his name?" She said in one breathe. I looked at my friend who stared back at me with a questionable face.

"I honestly don't know, everything happend so quick. One minute, he is giving me my carbon copy back and the next he was gone. He wasn't at the door that long." Braidyn shook her head.

"Well, he said he lived in the complex, right?" I nodded my head. "So lets hope you see him again."

Walking along side my friend, I noticed something about myself. Out of all the years growing up with her, I hardly ever had boyfriends. Its not cause I didn't want them, I was just never approached as much as she was. Guys did like me but they never really told me, and if they did tell me, it was in some akward way that I didn't really understand. To me, it was odd to talk about my encounter with a guy, because we normally talked about who she met or was dating. But I did it anyway because she was my bestfriend and I trusted her. Plus, no mater how odd things were we still managed to discuss them.

"Look at this store Kurbi." Braidyn said in awe. As I walked in my eyes roamed the space. It was very narrow and long, with black walls and silver as its accent color. Art and photography scattered the walls favoring a huge collage. The two associates who roamed the space where dressed in all black with silver accessories.

"Welcome to Z4 Gallery." They said in unison. We smiled at their greeting, while our eyes were distracted by the galleries unique style. On the floor the big square tiles were black with certain squares displaying colors like: red, highlighter yellow and purple. I walked along the walls staring at the art and photography.

"Intrigued?" Said one of the associates over looking the same wall as me. I looked at her and smiled.

"Very." I said looking back at the wall.

"Its amazing what one person can do with a camera or their hand." I shook my head in agreeance with her comment.

"That is so true, I love art and photography. Photography is actually my minor in college right now."
