Jonah and the girl went with 18 other people to the northern lights.
These 20 people got the opportunity of a lifetime.
People only get to go to the northern lights once a year.
They only stay for 2 days, though.
Jonah and the girl only had 2 days to do what they do best.
***
Day 1
All 20 people set out to find something to draw, paint, take pictures of, write lyrics from, etc.
Jonah and the girl had not seen each other yet.
However, both of them were looking for the same thing.
They wanted to create their art from an aura of many emotions.
They stayed up all night looking for something to paint/take pictures of.
Unfortunately, they never saw each other throughout the night.
***
Day 2
Jonah and the girl finally found a place.
They were only 20 meters away from each other.
But they did not care about their surroundings.
Jonah started painting.
The girl started taking pictures.
Then they decided to take a break.
Jonah left his half-painted canvas where it was.
The girl placed her camera around her neck.
The girl decided to walk around.
Jonah decided to go back and see what the others had accomplished.
And then they bumped into each other.
"Jonah?" the girl asked.
"The coffee girl?" Jonah asked at the same time.
"I didn't expect to see you again." the girl said with venom in her voice.
"I'm sorry about that day. I just had some family issues." Jonah responded vaguely.
"Yea sure. You could have at least put your number on the sticky note or something. Like seriously, how was I supposed to find you in Millbourne? And if you had family issues, then why did you ask me to come to Millbourne?" She said trying to stay calm.
"You're right. I should have given you my number, but I was in a hurry. I'm sorry that I didn't think about how you would find me in Millbourne. All I thought about was that I wanted to show you my town and cheer you up. I'm sorry." He said.
"Oh well. Thank you for telling me to go to Millbourne because that's the only reason that I'm here right now. But still, that doesn't mean I like you. I still don't like you." She said.
"Aww I was hoping we could be friends." Jonah responded.
"In your dreams." She said.
"Can I at least get your name?" Jonah asked.
"Hmmmm, how about no?" She said.
"How about yes?" Jonah retorted.
"Will you stop bugging me if I give you my name?" She asked curiously.
"Yup." Jonah replied.
"My name is Aria. Now leave me alone." She said while walking away.
***
Aria kept walking until dusk and then she remembered that she still had to finish taking pictures.
However, she got lost.
***
Jonah walked away feeling guilty.
He decided to go see how much everyone else had accomplished.
He saw that almost everyone else was done.
Then he went back to his canvas and saw that someone destroyed his half-painted painting.
He had to start over.
