One on One with @Violet (closed)

"Yeah, check it out." Evelyn showed her the camera. The girl looked focused and beautiful in her beanie, with her pencil in her hand. The wind blew her hair in some of the shots. "I mean I still have to edit them, but they look really good so far."

"I try," Evelyn said with a grin. She almost winked but she didn't feel bold enough. She looked down at her watch. 'Oh shoot,' she thought. She pulled her camera back towards her and started going through the pictures herself, waiting for the girl to go back to her drawing.

Evelyn pulled her bag on her lap, looking for something. She slowly placed a small piece of paper on the bench, put her camera in her bag and stood up. "Thanks for letting me photograph you," she said, smiling.

(Btw, the paper is her number, "Evelyn", and a heart)

Evelyn walked away to her class that started in seven minutes. She stood at a crosswalk and looked down at her phone. She knew it was silly to expect a text so soon. Evelyn put her phone away and crossed the street. She sat through her color theory class, daydreaming about the girl in the park.

The second her class was over Evelyn checked her phone. She smiled, looking at the text. «Hi» «Sorry I was in a class» she texted quickly.

«so i never caught your name», Evelyn texted.

«evelyn» «nice to meet you aaliyah» she texted back. She stood in the doorway of the building, watching her phone and smiling. She walked out the door and started the walk to her photo editing class, desperate to edit the photos she took of Aaliyah.

Evelyn glanced down at her phone and smiled. «thanks» she texted. «i like yours too. it's cool». She got to her class and sat down. Her teacher came over and Evelyn showed her the pictures. The teacher commented on them, then left her to her editing. «i'm in my editing class now» «my teacher likes the pictures i took of you»

«college» «you?» «see that's the thing. she usually is extremely judgemental, they were just good photos» «i guess she liked my model» «and frankly, so do i» Evelyn was about to send something else but stopped when she saw how many texts she had sent. She didn't want to keep blowing up Aaliyah's phone.

Evelyn stared at the screen, a big smile on her face. «oh yeah it definitely is» She tapped her thumbs against the sides of her phone case and bit her lip. She wanted to say something but she wasn't sure if it was too risky. She took a deep breath and quickly typed, «are you busy friday evening/afternoon?» and hit send. She was about to put her phone away but stopped to say «also i gotta go to class rn so i'll talk later».

«brilliant» «also i'm back» «if you couldn't tell» «can you meet me at the park on 3rd at 5:45/6?»

«great» she texted.

(time skip?)

Evelyn ran down the street, looking down at her watch. At this rate, she wasn't sure if she would make it to the park at 6. She dodged some men in suits and a girl with her headphones in and ran towards the park, keeping one hand on her camera bag.

Evelyn found Aaliyah sitting on a rock at exactly 6:01. She ran up to her, then stopped, panting. "Hi. Sorry, I'm late." She looked down at her phone and saw Aaliyah had texted her. "Oh. You're here. Hey," she said, grinning. She was out of breath and her face was flushed.
