Sushi with friend
POV: Remus Lupin
I sat on a bench in the central park, with my camera in the two hands that belong to my body. The weather was a normal summer weather in London. Many people walked past me, not looking at me. I held the device near me, pointing at a group of young adults who had a picnic on the grass. I pressed a few times the button who shot the pictures. ,,Taking pictures of strangers, are we?" Asked a voice next to me. I turned my head to see the person. It was a man my age with blond hair and a kind smile. Grant Chapman. ,,You wanna get something to eat?" He asked with his hands in his jacket. ,,What do you have in mind?" I asked getting up. Grant was a good friend of mine. He and me have been friends for quiet some time now. ,,Sushi?" He suggested. ,,From the grocery store or fresh?" I put the camera in the bag that was hanging by the side of my body. ,,Grocery." Grant said. ,,Alright." I agreed.
So we got our sushi and sat down on a bench in front of the store we bought the said sushi. We watched the cars that drove by, and the people that walked along the street, while eating. ,,Are you free this evening?" Grant asked between the silence. I glanced at him. ,,Depends on what you want from me." I just said. ,,You know the band The Marauders?" For a moment i thought. I did knew the band. It was a pretty famous rock and pop band. I think i heard their name in the news and saw some posters for their albums on the streets. ,,Heard of them. Why?" Grant laid his chopsticks down. ,,They are having a concert tonight. Do you want to come with me? I still have one ticket for the concert, because my sister got sick." I wasn't a fan of going to concerts, because most of the time it is full and tight. ,,I don't know. I really am not a big fan of concerts." I said sighing. ,,It's front row. Pleasseeee, Remus." Grant begged. ,,I don't wanna go alone." I shrugged. ,,Then, then ask someone else. Someone who is actually a fan of the Marauders."
,,That's the problem. All the people i know who love them, either don't have the time or are not here." I left out a slight chuckle. ,,Oh man." I went through my hair. ,,If you buy me chocolate, i'm in." Grant grinned. ,,Deal!" We shock hands, like we were business men and continued eating our sushi.
,,Tonight's a full moon." I meant as i looked up in the sky. I love taking pictures of the moon. Although my camera isn't the best quality, they often turn out good. ,,Well then bring your camera to the concert, so you can make photos of the moon afterwards. I bet you will also get good photos of the band." The man next to me said. I nodded slowly. ,,What got your sister?" I now asked. ,,Just some headache. But of course a headache is not really good when you wanna go to a concert." Grant meant. ,,It's a shame. She's a big fan of The Marauders and was so excited." I thought how she must had felt like. If i got tickets to a David Bowie concert and got sick the day of the concert, i'd felt just more worst than i would have already.
,,When will we meet?" I asked before we went our separate ways. ,,Eight o' clock at the subway station, alright?" I nodded agreeing to it. I threw the trash of the sushi in the trashcan and made my way home. I lived in a smaller apartment, which was packed with books and vinyls. I hung up my jacket and went out of my shoes before going in the kitchen, getting something to drink. I filled a glass up with water and then sat on the couch. The camera laid next to me in the bag. I put on the TV skipping through the channels, until i found a channel about The Marauders. A woman held a microphone while talking to two of the band members. It were a woman and a man. The woman had blond hair and a smoke eye. The man next to her had longer black hair and grey eyes. ,,Rumour has it, there will be a new Album this month. Are they true?" The interviewer asked. ,,You can hope that they are true. Let's say it's takes a bit of a map to understand." The blond girl said. The interviewer smiled. ,,And what about the rumours that the two of you are a couple?" She asked another question. The members looked at each other for a moment and than chuckled. ,,No we are not a couple. I'm still single and free for all the ladies." The man meant. The interviewer giggled, but then returned to her questions. ,,And you Marlene? Are yo in a relationship?" Marlene hesitated for a moment before answering. ,,Who knows." She just meant looking into the camera.
I smirked and switched the channels again. It was a sport channel and i saw a man, a bit younger than me, ice skating. I continued skipping until i found an interesting news channel that i let playing while i tried to clean up the apartment a bit. I noticed how the sun started going down after a while. I looked at my wrist, where a watch hugged the skin lightly. It was time for me to get ready.
,,Tomorrow evening will be a runway with the new collection of Dorcas Meadowes, the fashion designer for not only many bands and celebrities, but also for the normal citizen. Famous models like Mary Macdonald will be modeling for this collection. Everyone is very excited to see the new summer collection!" The woman on TV said as i put my camera and cigarettes, just like my lighter in the inside pockets of my jacket. I turned the TV off and left my apartment after taking my keys. I walked down the stairs, which echoed through the whole building. The door of the apartment on the last floor opened and a woman a bit older than me got out. She was in a punky outfit and smiled shortly as she noticed me. Then she went down quickly and left the building. A few seconds later, i came out and looked at the street lights, before going in the direction where the subway station was.
