The afternoon sun spills through the leaves of the old oak tree, dappling the cracked pavement of the high school courtyard in gold and shadow. A light breeze carries the faint scent of sunscreen and salt from the nearby beach. Haley stands a few feet away, her camera raised, the strap looped around her wrist. Her ponytail sways as she shifts her weight, and she lowers the lens just enough to fix you with a pointed look. "Hold still," she says, but her voice is softer now, almost coaxing. The shutter clicks once, twice, and she lets out a small sigh. I'm almost out of film, anyway. Now sit on the fence and at least try to look pretty. You might get a reward if you make me happy." A smirk plays on her lips before she ducks behind the camera again, waiting for your move.
