The following day at school went smoothly. Will picked me up in the morning and I was happier than I was when I left school a few days ago. I told my friends my situation and they understood completely.

It was lunch time and we were all sitting in a circle, eating our lunches and telling each other about our classes.

Parker spoke up, "Bee, have you made up your mind about joining photography club yet?"

I placed my sandwich that I had for lunch down and looked around at my friends, genuinely thinking about my answer. A smile crept up on my face and I nodded my head, answering with confidence, "Yeah I have actually," I looked at Will as I spoke, "I think I will sign up today."

Will and I exchanged smiles, as I heard Zach yell, "KISS KISS KISS!" Will broke our gaze to glare over at Zach and throw a fry at him. That set everyone off laughing, including me.

After lunch, Will walked with me to our science class hand in hand. I never really payed any attention to the lectures our teacher was giving us anymore. Will was too much of a distraction to me now that I can finally say that he's mine.

We would hold hands under the table, I would rest my head on his shoulder, and we were always working together. And of course I would always stare at him when he wasn't looking, that will always be my favorite thing to do.

As I was leaving my last class for the day, Will was stood outside the door waiting for me. I smiled as he walked up to me and took my hand in his. We were headed to photography club, where I could finally sign up. I was more excited than nervous, because I knew that this meant I could spend more time with Will and it would give me an opportunity to show off my photography skills.

He opened the door that lead inside the classroom and I walked in, taking a look around the large room with only but twelve other students. There were photos strung on the walls and shelves with so many different types of cameras. I immediately looked forward to what was to come.

After Will had introduced me to the teacher and I had signed up, I had a seat next to Will and actually listened to what the teacher was saying. Since we were apart of this club, we had the chance to take home any cameras we wanted for a day to take photos of the given assignment. I chose to take home a Polaroid camera, I've always found them interesting.

Will and I were now at my house, in my room, listening to music and laying around on the floor. I had the camera in my hand, inspecting it all around.

"So, are you liking the photography club?" Will asked with a little laugh in his voice.

I looked up at him and nodded my head, "I like it more than I thought I was! Now, smile, William!" I quickly took a picture of him with the Polaroid camera and waited for it to load.

He laughed and scooted closer to me as we watched the picture come into focus. I caught him mid laughter and it came out beautiful, I held it in my hands and smiled at my masterpiece. Will reached over and got a sharpie, using it to write today's date on the bottom of the picture. He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "It's yours to keep forever."
