3 years went by and mom and I weren't talking I had moved away to California to continue my studies as a film director. Living on my own being independent. One thing I thanked my mom of ; making me independent
I woke up that morning to the tune of " here comes the sun - by the Beatles . I pulled my hair back into a pony tail and stretched cracking my back and sleepily singing along. I walked up to the bathroom mirror and washed my face and began to do my make up. Mmmm maybe I'll go for a more natural look I thought so concealer under my eye bags , neutral eyeshadow and a bit of Mascara a nude lipstick and to top it of I decided to add a darkish red under my eyes. I got up and walked to my closet. Taping my foot I wondered what to wear.. okay whatever I thought I picked out some dark blue jeans a long black sweater and my converse. No time for hair so I put it up in a bun. Film school wasn't all that great we had been assigned to do a project called " come into my life and fade away" there were only three rules to follow to make this video project
1) meet someone new , tell them about the project
2) focus on them for 2 months and record your time with them
And 3) don't tell each other your names until the very end.
Clean. Simple. Lousy right?
As I got back in the car I wondered I could spend time with the grocery man ? No
Maybe.. my .. no
Or what if I do a person on the beach? Bingo!
At first they'll think I'm crazy but that's all right I'll find someone.
I drove down to the beach and got off with my camera already recording. I started looking around. Not a family. I saw a guy running down the beach. Not a sports guy. Not a volleyball player. Mmm not a little kid they'll think I'm a perv. A tourist? No there only here for a week or so. I kept looking around but there were the same people everywhere. Family's, kids , tourists, sporty people.
I walked down the beach as it got later people started to clear out I turned off my camera and started to walk back to my car when I spotted him. I don't know why but I knew he was the one I turned on my camera and walked over
"Hi" I said
"Hi"
"Um I like your guitar "
" thanks! But it's actually a bass"
" well yeah that's what I meant"
"Surreeeee"
"Haha yeah "'
" hi I'm c--"
"NO WAIT" I yelled I turned bright red and quickly turned away hitting my face with my plam. I told him about the project I had to do , I was really embarrassed.
" prove you actually go there"
I pulled out my I.D.
" okay, gotta make sure you know. With my sexiness anyone would want to take me "
Good. I sighed he had a sense of humor.
"Okay so no names then?"
"Yup no names" I repeated
" can I have your number then .. you know for the .. project.. to see when we can hang out? "
So awkward!! Ugh I stumbled as I gave him my phone.
" so what should I put you as then?"
"Idk maybe ... batman?!!!"
"No " I giggled
" I'll put you as him"
" and I'll put you as ... gurp"
"Gurp?" I said
"Yes gurp ... what it's a rad nick name!!"
"Fine" I said " hi I'm ... gurp"
" hi gurp I'm ... him"
I smiled as I turned off my camera
" my friend are coming , we're going to play a few song your welcome to stay."
"No thanks I need to head home but txt me so I can come some other day!"
"Yeah okay " he said
I walked back to my car and drove home ... I got home and got ready for bed . I was staring at my self in the mirror and laughed "haha Him and Gurp for two months imagine that"
Laying in bed it was harder to sleep thinking of what was to come for the next two months... anything could happen.
