I Lost Her

Chapter 1

*ding dong, Bing bong*

Right then my only though was to go back to sleep, and I should've. I got up and realized it was only 7 am. Here I could of slept for another 5 minutes.

"Well to late now." I said to myself.

I walked over to my closet got some clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When I got out I dried off put on my clothes and went into the dining room.

I walked in and saw Mason sitting at the table watching the news.

How old school, I mean to be honest it's 2020. Then again I can't say anything, I still have a Polaroid after all. (For those who don't know what a Polaroid is, it's a old school camera that's frickin awesome).

"Oh, hey Damien, didn't see you there." Mason said as he turned down the TV.

"Yep, story of my life, not being seen sense 2010."

"Oh be quiet Mr. Photographer. Your going to make it."

"Huhu,Yeah, sure."

Mason can be cool and all but he has no ideas the pressure I have on my shoulders right now. I'm in one of the biggest photography schools and there are so many great artists here I can't even compare to.

"Hey! Don't space out on me." Mason said bringing me back to reality.

"Oh sorry about that."

"It's ok. Hey what do you think of my model of the MiG-25."

"It's cool man, but shouldn't you be studying for your exam coming up."

"Nah, I got it in the bag, trust me."

"Ok, what ever you say. Shouldn't we be heading to are schools."

"Oh yeah. Well, let's go."

"Alright. Let get the rest of my stuff."

"Take your time."

"It shouldn't take that long."

I walked to my room and Grabed my satchel and camera bag. I grabbed a extra film case and my glasses off my desk.

I met back up with Mason at the velociraptor (the truck) and got in.

-----------------------------------------

"Hey before we head to the schools I need to head to the
mechanics to take a look at the motor. It's been acting up a lot and I have no idea what's wrong with It." Mason said as he adjusted his mirror going down the road.

"Ok. Let's just hurry."

"Yes sir." He said in a mocking way.

------------------------------------------

As we pull into the parking lot a mechanic is sitting out there waiting. We pull up and Mason tells me to get out and it won't take long. So I listened to him and, to be a smartass, I stood straight up put my hand on my head like a soldier and said:

"Yes Ms. Twinkle toes!"

"Oh fuck off." He said.

As he went into the garage I got my headphones out and went to my playlist and put it in loop. The first son was miss the misery by hale storm. I also reached in my satchel and got my photo catalog and looked at it to decide what picture I should use for the "everydays hero contest". (Please tell me someone got that reference). After a couple of minutes I saw a monarch butterfly in a patch of purple flowers. This was a photo moment so I got my Polaroid out and took a quick photo. I shook the photo and when it came clear I put it in my camera bag.

A few minutes later they finally came out. I took out my headphones and turned off my iPod. I started walking to the truck when I started hearing  a girl yelling.

"Sir! Sir!"

I turned around and saw a girl running way with something in her hand. I look closer and saw in was my photo catalog and she was trying to give it to me. She slowed down and walked right up to me and handed it to me.

"Thank you, Ms...?"

"Oh, Velvet, Velvet Rose."

"Thanks, Velvet. I'm Damien, Damien Syndicate. Wait you look familiar. Do you by chance go to Photography Arts."

"Actually, I do. I came here a few weeks ago, but I can tell that your going to be one of the biggest photographers in the world."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well..."

I looked down and noticed she was holding her arm like she had something to say.

" I sort of looked at your catalog....please don't get mad at me."

"I'm not mad I'm actually happy someone likes my work."

"Who wouldn't?"

"It's....pretty."

Right when she said that I could feel the heat rushing to my face.

"Thanks...um....we was actually heading to the school. Do you wanna a ride?"

"Sure. I'd love to. Let me go get my stuff".

As she walked towards the garage I noticed how happy she was.

"She's cute, isn't she?" Mason said from behind me.

"Shut up!"

"Calm down. I'm not moving in on her chill."

"Didn't I say shut up. She is cute but I doubt a girl like her would go for a guy like me."

"You never know my friend."

"Ok now shush she's coming back."

"Fine."

I watched as she walked over to us I noticed she had a Polaroid just like me. I'm shocked.

"Are we leaving now?"

"Yeah....uh...after you."
