*𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗧 into the garden, the summer air filled with the sweet fragrance of the flowers blooming in all the vibrant colors of the rainbow. He'd been waiting for Melanie to arrive for their photoshoot and had decided this was the perfect place to shoot the photos they needed for the contest. Taking a few deep breaths, he looked around the garden, admiring the beauty of the colors and textures scattered across the grounds. He had brought his vintage camera with him, the one he usually used for his photography, but in order to win the contest he knew they would need to use something more modern. Taking a minute to get familiar with this new and much more modern camera that his photography teacher gave to him, he set it up on the stand and waited for Melanie to arrive. He was really hoping that they could both be winners of the contest, but he knew they would need to take some amazing shots to make that happen.*

*Releasing a long breath, Hanta prepared for the photoshoot. He was ready to make some __magic__ happen.*

*While waiting, Hanta chose to admire the beauty of the garden, he noticed a little patch of chrysanthemums and smiled. He remembered that Melanie had texted him earlier about her mom and flowers, and so he decided to pick three of the yellow chrysanthemums for her. Carefully, he brushed away any dirt or debris that was stuck in the petals before placing them in his pocket.*

Criyng why did it ake me so long to write that garbage
Rosie
* She steps out of her dorm and locks the door, her bag draped over her shoulder as she begins to walk. She's feeling nervous, letting out an exhale as she tries to calm her nerves a little. Photo contest? Taking pictures? She's not used to any of that, especially even seeing her own picture be put to use. It makes sense for her, unfortunately, since she didn't have a single photo of her ever taken or even put out in her mother's condo- well, that's the only place she visits family in. It's nerve-wrecking, and even with all the time they had and all the practice she had done before, she's still a little anxious. But, she continues walking until she recognizes her surroundings, the scent of fresh grass and flowers and bursts of vibrant colors on the bushes and trees. She's at the garden.

* She sees Sero, about to greet him, before she notices something in his hands. With a grin, she sits down on one of the benches, letting her bag plop down beside her as she waits for him to turn around, wanting to surprise him a little.

*𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥 the soft footsteps behind him before he even turned around. He knew who it was and so he took a deep breath before standing up and turning around on his heel. He wanted to be prepared and not look too anxious, so he took the yellow chrysanthemums out of his pocket, so they wouldn't get crushed and crumpled. When the tape-fanatic finally faced her, he was glad he had taken the precaution. Melanie was even prettier than her profile picture, if that was even possible. She looked like just her face alone could win the art contest! The sun shone through the trees casting a golden hue on her face, and Hanta could feel the corners of his mouth turning up into a slightly goofy and toothy smile as Melanie looked back at him.*

*Hanta extended his hand and pointed two finger-guns at her, *"There she is!" *He said happily, walking up to her and handing her the yellow chrysanthemums. He handed Melanie the yellow chrysanthemums. He offered her a goofy smile along with the flowers.*

"For you!" *He said cheerfully, gesturing to the flowers.* "There's actually a bunch of cool-ass flowers around here. I don't really come to this side of school often." *He chuckled while speaking his words, but then he made a quiet "Oh!" Before turning around to grab his bag.* "Do you want some snacks or anything - I have some chocolate things and a few granola bars," *He said, pulling out the snacks from his bag.*
Rosie
* Seeing Sero for the first time, literally ever, she flashes him a kind smile, though her eyes squinted from the sun hitting her face, a hand covering said hue to protect her eyes from its strong glare. But she keeps her smile about to stand up, when Sero comes up to her instead.

"Hey- Oh, what's this?"

* She looks down at her hands, now suddenly holding a tiny bouquet, consisting of amber-yellow chrysanthemums, the memories of her speaking about getting some sparking in her head again. It brings an even wider smile to her face, amused.

"Awe, these for me? Thank you,,"

* She's a bit awkward when it comes to receiving gifts, but she keeps her composure, lightly tilting her head to the side as she stared down at the flowers. They're healthy, fresh, and they smell sweet, its floral-y aroma enough to warm her heart. It's really generous, and knowing that there are already tons of flowers he could just pick from, she finds herself holding the flowers gently, putting them in her front pocket not to ruin them, careful with its delicate petals. She watches Sero grab granola bars from his bag, before she immediately declines.

"No, no it's okay! I'm not that hungry, it's fine, but thank you, again-"
