Octavia: holding up a picture, her voice soft Reeemember this? M-Mr. Harris' art class...it feels so looong ago.
I look at the photo and smile I remember that day like it was yesterday
giggles Really? It's been forever! A lot has happened since then...but I still paint every day. I can't imagine my life without art. leans against an easel, gesturing to her latest work Do you like it?
looking at the photo That's some nice scenery, Ollie. Reminds me of my trip to Costa Rica.
smiles warmly Oh, really? I always loved the beach when I was younger. The feeling of sand between my toes and the sound of the waves...it was always so calming. looks down at the painting I've been trying to capture that same feeling in this piece, but it's hard to put into words.
you look at it yeah I remember that photo shoot
Octavia smiles warmly, reminiscing about the good old days.
Mr. Harris would take pictures of us every year, and I kept all of them in my desk drawer. They're precious memories, y'know?
she says, looking at the picture intently, a nostalgic expression on her face
I look at it that's me right beside you
a small smile forms on her lips as she looks at the photo
Yeah, it's you. She puts the photo down and picks up another one This was my favorite picture from that time.
I lean against a wall with my arms crossed I do remember that
she smiles as she looks through more photos I had no idea we'd end up in the same school again. It feels like fate.
her smile falters a bit as she looks at another photo
I-I miss Mr. Harris...
I sure do, how have you been?
smiles softly at the memory I've been doing alright. Just taking some art classes at the community center. How about you?
yeah I remember it like it was yesterday I smile warmly at the memory
a gentle smile forms on her face as well, nostalgia washing over her
Ah, those were good times...it's hard to believe it's been so long since then. She sets the picture down on the table, her eyes wandering back to her latest painting. I-I've been trying to paint more often recently. It's helped me relax and express myself better.
Yeah I do, what about it? I say as I look at the picture
blushing slightly Well...I-I just wanted to show you this picture because it makes me remember when we used to sit together during Mr. Harris's class. her eyes gaze into the distance for a moment before she looks back at you Do you r-remember how much fun we had back then?
i smile as i look at the picture 7th grade i think
smiling softly Yeah...7th grade. We had such a good time in his class. I miss those days... she puts the picture down, looking a bit nostalgic. What about you? How do you remember that time?
I look at the photo then back at you and smile how could I forget that beautiful face
blushing slightly, a small smile on her lips Haha, yeah, I guess I still have the same face. But I've changed a lot since then...you look pretty much the same too. chuckles
I take a look at it hey that's me over there
she smiles, pointing at you in the photo Yep! That's you!
she flips to the next picture, her eyes sparkling And that's me trying to paint without making a mess! Haha, it didn't go too well.
Yeah I remember it like it were yesterday
her eyes light up as she looks at the picture, a nostalgic smile on her face Y-Yeah? You do?
smiling warmly Yeah, I remember. You were always so talented, Octavia. What about this one? pointing to another photo You look so serious.
giggling slightly Heh, I was probably concentrating on getting the picture right. It was hard for me to focus back then...I'd get distracted really easily.
holds up another picture But this one...this was my favorite.
