I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to stare, it´s just your look is so...", "vintash?, yeah I get that a lot, you see I'm the owner of an antique store", she helped me to get to the bus stop and on the way she continue talking, "I move recently, and open the store not too long ago, you seem to be running late so here", she pulled a card form a pocket in her dress, it was jet black with golden borders and lettering it read -Lost Memoirs, we have an item for everyone-, "you and your friend over there can come to the store that add is not a lie my store has something for everyone, would you be interested miss?", "Oh right my name is Samantha, sure sounds interesting maybe after classes are done we´ll go check it out", "wonderful Samantha, have a nice day and be careful with that ankle", she waved and then she walked away she seemed like a nice person, I was dumbfounded until the voice of Jasper snapped me back into reality, "earth to Sam, hey who was the weirdo?", "she wasn't a weirdo she helped me get up after I fall, you know something a friend would do instead of running ahead?", "yeah sorry about that, I thought the bus was here but I was wrong, come on, could you forgive this lovely young man, Samantha you highness?", "Come one, cut it out" I started laughing, jasper always knows how to make me laugh in almost any situation, we waited for a little bit and the bus showed up, I told him about Olivia and her store, "odd is there people that still buy antiques in stores?, I believe those things were done by internet nowadays", "jasper many people like antiques, she also say that she has something for everyone", "puff like it's so difficult knowing what you´ll go see first", Jasper said "you´ll go right to the section where this lady has her old timeie cameras and go wild", he started to imitate a monkey going berserk "JASPER, that's not funny", "but am I wrong?", "monkey, yes, going to see the camaras, you are right about that," I said while elbowing him on the side, "auch, okay, but you are going alone", "what? you are not coming?" "Sorry Sam but I have things to do I can't go to check out this Lady´s store with you, just take a picture with an old camera and send it to me with your phone camara", he started laughing as the bus came to an end we arrived at the campus and headed to or class room, suddenly having a test firs thing wasn't so bad the promise of a new camara was going to keep me in high spirits until the end of the day or so I hoped, funny, if I knew the tragedy that was about to be unfolded I will have never go to see the store.
