HEY GUYS SO THIS IS JADE I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE THIS CHAPTER. GOT BIG PLANS FOR THIS STORY! R&R! THANKS GUYS!
Chapter 1: Either Me or the Cashier is Insane
It all began one day when I was just sitting in my room texting my friend, Alyss. Not about nails, or boys, or whatever teenage stereotypical things you can think of. No, we were talking about video games. At the moment we were arguing about which Fire Emblem game is the best.
"I am telling you Jade," she texted "Shadow Dragon is so much better than Awakening!" I sighed, finally surrendered defeat, and turned off my phone. Yes, while this text is not exactly stereotypicalit is still at least a 5 on the normal scale. Little did I know that my life was about to dip into negative numbers. But more on that later.
Alyss and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. We always hung out when we were little (our moms were friends from college) but we really clicked together when we realized we had the same feeling of adventure. Not satisfied with the day-to-day routines of this world we both wanted more. We both wanted something more in our future than sitting behind a desk. I'll just say it, as embarrassing as it is, we wanted to be spies or bounty hunters or bird hybrids to be honest. We were stupid and naïve enough to accept almost anything.
Now, I know you are thinking one of two things.
If you are normal: RING RING HELLO THIS IS REALITY PICK UP THE PHONE!
But, if you are more like us then your thoughts are probably closer to: Are they spies now? How can I contact them? My advice for the second group of people: be careful what you wish for.
While I waited for my dream to come true, I took up art. Anime was my specialty, but I honestly would draw just about anything. And this is where our story really starts, in an art store in Nowhere, USA. I was just looking around, you know- browsing, when I saw a beautiful painting on display in the corner. I walked over slowly, stepping quietly, barely breathing, not wanting to break the spell. To this day I wish I had never noticed that painting, and you'll see why soon.
Well, anyway, the painting was the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It showed a planet covered in forests, deserts, lakes, mountains, it was amazing. So real, I felt like I was there! I wanted to be in that magical place, I wanted it more then I have ever wanted anything in my life. I stared at it for a minute, then I made a decision that, although I didn't know it, would change my life forever. I needed that painting. I stared a little longer then left to find a cashier.
I finally found a middle aged man and (after waiting for what felt like ever while he helped an old lady pick out yarn) eventually forced him over to the painting.
"How much is this painting?" I asked.
"Huh? Oh, you mean that canvas," he replied. "That will be $20."
Now I don't know how familiar you are with art lingo, but a canvas is blank, not painted. He was obviously a total art amateur so I tried to correct him in a polite way (which was a serious effort for my normally sarcastic self.)
"Um, you mean painting," I laughed awkwardly.
"Sweetheart," he replied "That canvas is as blank as can be." He winked at me like I was being cute. Now I am not gonna lie, at this point I was kinda freaking out. He was obviously very positive that there was nothing on that canvas. One of us is probably going crazy, and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was me.
Now, please pause here and examine my situation. I was looking for an adventure and this was obviously NOT normal. Well my naïve brain found this fascinating. So, I bought it anyways.
And in doing so, quiet unwillingly, sealed my fate.
WELL DO YOU LOVE IT? HATE IT? LET ME KNOW HOPE YOU GUTS ENJOYED! PLEASE REVIEW IF YOU WANT MORE (sorry it was short but I really wanted to get it posted)
JADE OUT :•)
TOTAL RANDOMNESS!
Life is a cornucopia of disturbing concepts.
