"God I hate you for being so fucking photogenic." Raelee told me from behind her camera. The flickering could be heard as she pressed on the button.
I continued to do simple poses I had copied from a video I saw on tik tok as Claire watched from the side. Her eyes studying me as if she was taking notes.
It was a clear Saturday afternoon and the girls had spent most of the day together, walking around, eating and taking pictures.
I dragged the girls into a park to take pictures since I was feeling myself and had worn too good of an outfit. "C'mon! Lets gooo" I told them.
Claire was always camera shy at first, awkward with her body and how to pose so she always made Rae and I go first.
"Do something else now." Rae told me as I moved my head to the side a bit, closing my eyes.
"Wait hold on someones in the back." I heard the shuttering of the camera stop as I see Rae lower the camera. I turned around to see a girl peeking around the trees.
"Oh shoot, sorry I didn't mean to photobomb." The girl spoke out, she moved from behind the trees showing herself. Her voice had sounded familiar and when I saw a clear view of her face that's when I realized.
It was Azami.
"Oh hey! Oh my gosh, nice to see you again!" She exclaimed when her face looked at mine, she walked closer with her arms out, one of them holding a book. We joined together into a hug, she was shorter than I remembered, I thought to myself. She was at least a few inches below me.
"Oh sorry I'm a hugger." She chuckled as she stepped away to embrace Claire and Raelee into a hug.
I watched as they hugged, noticing the smiles on their faces. She looked to be always happy, I noted.
"I'm Azami by the way, though call me Ami, I feel like I'm in trouble when someone calls me by Azami." She told me. I gave her a sweet smile.
"I'm Kaya, nice to meet you." I nodded my head at her as she did the same. "Nice to meet you too...hope we didn't scare you off the other day."
I shook my head as I fumbled with my hands in front of me. "Oh no no, you're all good. It's totally fine." I noticed Raelee and Claire had walked away to engage in another photoshoot. Leaving me and Ami alone.
We both sat down on the bench I had previously sat on as our eyes were trained on the street a few feet in front of us.
"So do you go to school nearby?" She said, clearing the air.
