Addicted

 Hi! I'm Carla. I'm 16, and I live in Los Angeles it's just me and my two sisters in this huge city.
I live a pretty normal life, I guess. 
I'm in love with photography. I've been taking pictures for probably my entire life.
It's my getaway from the outside world. . I remember the first time I picked up a camera. My dad was also a photographer, when I was six he left it laying around and I picked it up and fell in love. Ever since he died from a car accident I just fell in love with it even more, it's the one way we bonded when he was alive. I miss him everyday, but that was seven years ago, let me update you on what's going on now. My bestfriend, Jamie and I are currently in math class waiting for the day to finally be over. 

I stare at the clock impatiently waiting for it to turn to 3:00pm. I look around the class to see that everyone in the class is doing the exact same thing. I have literally the worst math teacher in the school, Mr.Russell, he's just so boring. He has the same neutral face everyday and he just blabs on and on. Everyday his class feels like I'm in this boring endless loop. Finally the bell rings. I shoot up out of my desk and darted out the door. 

Jamie: God is class his so draining, are you ready for photography?

Me: Am I? It's the one thing I look forward to at school. 

I laughed and so did she. We walk down the halls and take a left to my favorite person in the school's classroom, Ms. Rain. I smiled at her and took a seat with Jamie and the rest of the class. 

Ms. Rain: Okie dokie class! I will assign each person, some will be in partners, or groups and I need them to take pictures of the school for the website and some will be taking pictures for the yearbook. Ok.. Charles, Casey and Cleo you will be in charge of the website. Jamie, Robbie, James and you have yearbook, also Carla but she will be solo. 

I look at Ms. Rain in confusion.

Ms. Rain: James's group go to the gym your taking pictures of the basketball,soccer,and volleyball team. Carla you have cheer and football. 

The rest of the groups walk off and I groan. 

Me: WHYYYYYYY?

Ms.Rain: You are my best photographer and these pictures must be perfect. 

Me: Ms. Rain.. you know that Leslie's face makes me want to-

Ms.Rain: Don't even finish that. I know but.. I need you ok?

She gave me this pouted face and I look at her with a glare. 

Me: Okay fine, and you really think that I'm the best one here?

She smiled.

Ms.Rain: 100% now go get out there. 

I groaned and picked up my camera and put the strap over my neck letting the camera hang securely. I walked out and scanned the field. This is going to be a long day.
