    About this ebook

    Mitch is an art student that works at a popular art museum, but his friend, Avi, doesn't see the meaning in art. Avi would rather spend his time staring at Mitch from afar, which Mitch doesn't mind, but he also wants more than just idle glances from across empty rooms. He wants more than just help on his Art History homework, although he would like that too. He's bad at art.

    Hi!I'm Mordecai! I've been told I'm good at details and dialogue, but if you see somewhere I could improve, please feel free to send me a message and we can talk about it! I recently found my deep love for writing and I plan on pursuing it professionally. Seriously though, why can't fanfiction be taken seriously? I'd like to publish fanfiction!

      Where is he?

      ***

      3 years, 2 months.

      He was standing in the art gallery, staring at a mirror, and I had to talk to him. His long brown curls hidden beneath a beanie and his glowing green eyes fascinated by their own visage.

      You know that’s not a piece of art, right Avi?

      Oh. It is. I’m a masterpiece! He flashed his large grin at me and took a sip from the bottle of water he had with him.

      Were you looking in that mirror just so you could use that line?

      Maybe… He smiled at me and walked away.

      This was a normal conversation for us. We had been classmates for a while
