"Do I even matter to you?"
  
  "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I can't just pass that up!"
  
  "I hope you have fun there, then, thinking about me every single day and wondering- where did it all go wrong? Why did I let you go?"
  
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Carrie Miller is a girl that's all about the scenery. Photography is what she feeds off of to enjoy life, and to tolerate her job at a local clothing store. In fact, photography is her escape from other people. She's standoffish- always annoyed by others and their idiotic moves to accompany them. She never  thought anyone else would ever matter to her, that it was just her and her camera.
  
  Otis Gaillard is a man with morals and determination. He stops by every day just to see her- the one girl he doesn't know the name of, the one girl who's bold enough to brush off every person who says "hi". In fact, he's so determined, he spends each day trying to get this girl's attention. No matter how annoying, no matter how intolerable, he vows to steal her heart piece by piece.
