Minutes

Minutes - chapter 1

How can you change everything that you have right now? Well everything happens in just a second and you can’t ever erase it back. Why is that? Well let me tell you that I have the perfect example to show you.

So it begins when in a place call Serenity these two individuals first saw each other.  It was a hot summer like Sue likes it because she could stay outside as long as she wants. Sue is a girl who loves to smile and draw beautiful things because she says that God created gorgeous things and nothing is ugly for her.

 Another thing that Sue loves is music because she says it makes her feel alive and loved. When she gets all sad she goes to this lake and starts thinking and letting all out. “The water and the beautiful view here makes everything better” she says at the same time she is writing in her notebook. “Thank you God” she says with a relief. 

She is the kind of person that you can look right through; she’s got nothing to hide. When she is looking around she sees a boy sitting very close to the lake. She immediately begins to imagine this boy’s life; pretending to know how he lives from the way he looks. She is pretending that he is a photographer because he’s holding a camera and taking pictures to the birds in the lake.

  “Maybe he works for a newspaper or something” she thinks. After staring at him for a minute and she realizes that he’s talking to himself “or singing, maybe” she thinks to herself. Two minutes later she notices that she can’t take her eyes from him. She immediately starts drawing something in her notebook.

“What time it is?” she says looking for her cell phone in the bag. “It’s late I should go” she says standing up and taking a last glance to him. She walks to her car and suddenly she realizes that she left her other bag with the notebook she was using. When she goes back to look for the bag she doesn’t find it.

Then, the same boy she had been looking at across the lake walks over to her and asks her “Is this, yours?” he says. She nods and takes it. “You are a very good artist” he says like a compliment. “Oh, thanks” she says nervously. “I’m Kurt and you?” he asks gently. Sue….. So do you like art? she asks. “Well yeah, I don’t know how to draw; the only thing that I know is taking photographs”.

Holding his camera he leans forward and says, “Here let me show you…” Having him stand so close to her gives her chills and makes her a little nervous. She feels awkward but, feeling suddenly reassured, she hears herself say “ok”. “Definitely, you are really good at taking photos… it’s impressive”. He looks at her and smiling says, “Thanks”. 

Taking the advantage while he straightened himself to put away the camera, Sue took the opportunity to examine him more closely. He has black hair and blue eyes that go with his pale white skin and perfect teeth; he’s wearing a shirt and jeans, both black, with a leather bag across his chest.

“Will you like to go for something to drink? He asks me looking straight at me without a hesitation. “Well, I guess I could go” I said as we both start to walk to our cars.

 Five minutes from here is Roger’s Café… do you know? He asks when we arrived at the parking space. “Sure, I’ve seen it before.” I respond. “All right, we’ll meet there!” he replies.
