My dice was: 1, 3, 6 ,2

My name is Anastasia and I am 21 years old. I have just finished my degree in photography and now I am working part time. I love to take photos. My first camera I received was from my aunty on my twelfth birthday. She said I look the most like my mother and thought that I might like it because it was my mother’s dream to become a photographer. After that day I never looked back. I won competitions at my schools and at art fairs when I was at high school. Photograph was my everything. But usually my life was pretty normal. I have always been an average girl. Never popular but I was never a geek. I got good grades never the top of my class except for art. I did my chores and my homework and occasionally would get in trouble from my teachers if I talked to loud.  I have honey coloured hair and green eyes and I am the second youngest out of six kids.  My mother died giving birth to my younger brother Luke who is now 18, this is his last year at school before going to college. After that day our father has brought all six kids up by himself well almost by himself. My older sister Emerald dropped out of school to take over my mother’s jobs around the house. She had to look after Luke and I while the rest of the kids went to school. She was the mother over the house then she met this man at the age of 25, they fell in love and got married 2 months later. Now she is 29 with a son who is 2 years old and is a stay at home mom. Then there is Andre he is now 27. He works as a carpenter with my father. He is learning all the skills so he can take over the business when my father retires. After him there are the twins Romeo and Jaletteina they are now 25 years old. I was closest to Jaletteina out of all my siblings we would always play together but we would always fight. She is now living in Australia studying to be a doctor and Romeo is now working as an architecture in Italy. We were a poor family but it never stopped us all trying to achieve our dreams. Our mother always told us “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.”

One day I went to work as usual. Got in, sat on the computer and started to create a portfolio for my company. I worked for the New York Times getting pictures for the articles. I also worked as a magazine editor for teenagers. My project this week was to go to a concert and take pictures of a new band for the herald and create a 4 page spread of the band for the magazine.  The number one teen sensation. The usual. I had heard of them before so I knew a bit about them. After a long day at work I went back to my flat and had pizza for dinner and decided what to wear for the concert and the interviews. We would be doing the cover shoot early the next morning and interviews after lunch. I went to bed at 10.00pm watching a movie. This was probably a dumb idea because I had to wake up at 6.00am the next morning. That night I slept a dreamless night. I woke up early the next morning got ready for the shoot left a t 7.00am, got at the studio around 8.00 and got the photo shoot ready for the band. Around 9.00am the band arrived, I mainly knew this because there was a lot of screaming outside. Four boys walked into the studio. They were all really good looking. It was like slow motion, each one walked in on the right queue as if they rehearsed it for hours but none of them fell out of place. They were four different bodies but one mind. One boy stood out the most he looked at least my age. Black hair hazel eyes. And very, very good looking. Well they were all good looking but I think he was the best! The photo shoot was great, they all co-operated well but the weird thing was when I took their individual close-up photos all of their eyes had a ring of white just before the pupil. It was almost misty looking, like what clouds look like. Anyway the photos came out great and the shoot finished around 10.30am. I headed off to go produce the photos at my office and edit them as well. As I loaded the photos on to the computer the photos of the boys came out so well, I didn’t think I needed to edit them. The faces looked so artificial. These boys could be Barbie’s future husbands! Forget Ken these boys were so amazing. Any male model would kill to have these faces. After about 2 hours of sorting out the pictures for the magazine I headed back home to get ready for the interviews.

I got to the interview at 2.30pm and got ready for the first member to arrive for his interview. The first member was Aresenio he had blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked like a surfer all the girls in bikinis would be going for. The second member was Damien he had black hair with green eyes and he looked kind of intimidating at first, I think he is the type of person with very strong opinions. The third member was Karsten and he had light brown hair and he seemed the nicest out of all of them. The last member was Zarek, the man I thought that was the most attractive. I think I must have been a bit flustered when I was with him because when he left the room I found out that my notes had been written everywhere. Not a good idea for a magazine. I asked them all the same questions and they practically answered the same thing except for what they enjoy to do in their spare time. They are all from Greek and came to America to pursue their singing dream. There accents were really attractive, a mixture between an Italian accent and a French accent. After trying to sort myself out I headed off to get ready for the concert. I was excited and a bit scared. But I thought I’d be okay. When the concert finally started the crowd was really excited it was almost over whelming. But man can those boys sing!!! They were amazing, vocals perfect and harmonies like birds chirping on a sunny morning. They mainly sang love pop songs I guess for all the girls. They were quite catchy. I took lots of pictures and I think I got a few good ones. After the concert I went back stage to see the boys. They were all sweaty and smiling satisfied with their performance. I think most girls would have killed to be in place right now. Zarek came up to me and started to have a conversation with me. “Hey Anastasia” he said smiling with his cute dimple. “Hey, how was your concert?”I asked smiling back. “I think we did pretty well, what did you think?” he asked back. “Well, actually I think you guys did really well” I smiled giggling a bit. “Um, I was just wondering would like to go out and grab something to eat after?” he asked. “Um…..” was all I could say. “It’s okay, I mean it’s late anyway…” he trailed off in a ring of excuses. I felt bad if I said no and plus he was good looking. “Sure when do you want to go?” I asked smiling. “Really?” he asked surprise. “Why I just said yea” I replied confused. “Right um, we can go now it you want?” he replied back. “Okay” I said grabbing his arm and heading for the door.

That night was so amazing but really weird. We went to the mall and sat down and just talked. We ordered some food at the food court but for some reason he didn’t eat anything. I mean wouldn’t you be starving after a 2 hour long concert. He just said “I’m not hungry.”  I left it at that, so we just started talking about a lot of things. He was a really nice person. I was really attracted to him. After I ate we left and went for a walk. I was walking beside him and we were alone on a street we were heading for the park. When we got to the entrance of the park. The moon was shining on his face. His eyes turned completely white except for the black pupil. I was so scared, he looked dangerous. I started to run then he grabbed my arm. All of a sudden my legs were in the air. He pulled me up so my I was face to face with him. “What I you doing to me let me go” I cried out loud. “I’m sorry” he whispered looking in my eyes. “Zarek please don’t do whatever you’re going to do” I sobbed. “I can’t do that” he answered angrily with himself. “What are you?” I asked. “I’m your worst nightmare” he answered then it went

My Holiday!!!

My holiday was really fun! Most of the time I spent overseas. My first week was in Singapore. We stayed at the hotel called Pan Pacific. The first day we just went to sleep because we were so tired from our flight. It was 10 hours on the air plane. The second day we went to China town and looked around then we went for a swim at the pool. The third day we went to Marina Bay, the view was very cool because you got a good view of what the city looked like and it was the best when you went at night. The rest of the days we just mingled around the malls and walked around the city.

The next three weeks I was in Indonesia visiting my family. We went shopping a lot and went to visit family members in the city. One place we went to was called Rumah Jambuluwuk. It was up in the mountains and all of my extended family came. There was a pool, flying fox, an obstacle course and lots of little playgrounds. Then we spent one weekend for my little sisters birthday at KFC. She was turning five and lots of people we didn't know came. But over all My trip to Singapore and Indonesia was really fun!
