Ch7, school memories
* time factory 8 years prior
Blinx stood eagerly in front of the time factory gate. When he stepped in, he noticed other potential time sweepers walking inside the front doors, he thought he best do the same, otherwise, he would miss his opportunity to become a time sweeper. A feline ran into him, they both fell over "Hey!" The feline yelled annoyed "why'd you do that, what are you? A doofus?" He spoke like an American
"What do you mean? You're the pillock who ran into me." Blinx was English.
"You better not mean that." He said walking over to Blinx menacingly.
"Okay then" Blinx replied, unintimdated "how far have you traveled?"
"Um... I don't know, but it only took 3 hours to get here"
"Right. I've travelled across the pond, through your home country and it took 3 days." The feline looked surprised "show at least a scrap of respect"

"Class, this lesson is all about sweepers." The trainer pulled out a time sweeper "This is a TS-X7, this is the most extreme sweeper yet." The class stared eagerly "this sweeper cost no less than 12,000 factory credits" the feline that ran into Blinx earlier sneered at him, he was Roland, only, a lot less smug, yet still had the biggest ego of all.
*time factory cantine
Blinx sat alone at a table, two cats sat around him, they were Katherine and Kevin. Katherine spoke "hey!"
"Hey."
"I'm Katherine, and he's Kevin"
Kevin greeted Blinx "hello."
"Blinx, pleased to meet you."
Katherine turned as she noticed Blinx was staring at Roland "he's a real pillock."
"British?"
"Umm... slightly, Isles of Scilly."
''Beautiful place, I have familly down there."
"Where were you from?"
"Wiltshire."
"Goodness me! That's about 200 miles!"
"Where's Kevin from?"
"Isle of man."
"Oh right, are you a fan of the TT?"
"Ish." Kevin replied
"How about you Katherine?"
"Ish." A time sweeper walked in, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to him, his clothes were black, on his sleeves and side of trousers were blue flames. This was Sketx, or, the striped shadow. He walked over to Blinx
"S'up Blinx?" He said quietly
"Oh, Sketx." Blinx forced a faked smile "How nice to see you again."
"Likewise."
"Propper Time sweeper?"
"Oh, yeah." Sketx grasped his emblem for his team "Stripped Incidents, each of us have a different team name." He let go "I'm the Striped Shadow. 'Cause that's what I like."
"Fair enough."
"Next year you choose your team. Then three years later. You're an actual time sweeper"
"Sweet."
"Innit?" Other sweepers walked in, with different colours, but the same flames Sketx walked to them. Blinx picked up his camera, and took a picture. His first photo.
*present day
Blinx smiled at the photo as he held it, he turned it, it read 'Sketx's gang. Yr1.', he put in the box and picked up the second one. This one read 'Blinx'ed, Yr2'
*7 years ago, one hour prior to the photo
Blinx was in the corridor, following the operator (although that wasn't his rank yet, he was still a clerk.) "Here, between Katherine's, and Kevin's room."
"Cheers mate." Blinx said as he went in, to his surprise his neighbors, Katherine and Kevin. "Hey guys. S'up?"
"Blinx, we need to ask you something. You know the teams are being put together?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we be in your team"
"Of course."
"Really?"
"What are friends for?"
"Stuff."
"Including this stuff." Blinx walked to his bed. Nothing is how I imagine. Nothing."
"Kevin, can you leave a moment."
"Sure Kath." Kevin walked out
"So Blinx, what's your relationship status?"
"You love me don't you?"
"Umm..." Katherine tried to mask it untill he least expected it, but she couldn't lie. "Yeah. I want you, I need you, without you, nothing is worth living for."
*outside Blinx's room, Kevin's POV
Dammit. She's fallen for Blinx, at least she COULD tell him, I can't tell her how I feel, I was about to. When we were alone. But I can't now. I can never tell her. Blinx IS right, nothing is as it seems.
*Inside Blinx's room Katherine's POV
Damn. I just told Blinx everything. I wonder if it's mutual. Oh dear, I'm sweating. "WHY AM I SWEATING!?" Damn. Blinx now thinks I'm wierd. Daaaaaaammiiiiiiiiiit!
*default POV
"Because you're scared." Blinx replied, with a cool head.
"Do-do you love me back?."
"Twice as much as how good you kiss." He approached Katherine, she started blushing. "Katherine." Blinx kissed Katherine, she hesitated, then kissed back. They broke the kiss. "your kiss..." he paused "is murderous, I love it"
* thirty seconds prior to the photo
Blinx held the camera selfie style, Kevin and Katherine huddled to get into focus, Kevin smiled and winked. Katherine held her lips in a kissing position. He took the photo.
* present day
Blinx picked up another photo 'the band yr3'
*6 years ago
Blinx's team is over, no hard feelings by anyone, they all hang out constantly. Blinx made a band, only doing covers. The photo was taken by Katherine during the band's performance.
*present day
"Those were good days" Blinx said softly, he put the picture in the box and put the box under the bed.
Dang that's a long chapter. I enjoyed doing it though. And it could be useful for future chapters, but untill next time. See ya!
