No copy right intended I do not own the songs

Chapter 1 : introduction

"Your what?" They are mad really mad and sad and they'll do anything to stop me which is annoying.

" I said I'm going to the new york school of arts , for photography , I mean come on its one of the best art schools ever!".

No one looks convinced but its hard to tell with 35 of them. All my friends and all the classmates who I think should know.

"Your ditching the awesome and amazing us for an art school !?" Blurts out Marco.

"No I'm not , no one could replace you guys ! Your all great and I'm gonna visit you guys all the time and think photography i'll eventually get a project that I could use you guys really badly for! I'll even visit Luke's soccer games ! And of course I'll go to every one of Katherine's volleyball games and practices!" some look convinced but not all and I need all.

"Come on class we have a graduation to practice for !" my very strict teacher who always yells at us is unusually excited for graduation which is tomorrow.

My grumbling classmates walk in from the blazing sun into the humid gym. It's decorated from floor to ceiling with goodbyes and paintings and our many sports banners.

"So this is how our hyper and athletic school sends us away ? Banners and goodbyes ? Our years here brought in the most wins in sports this school has ever had!" Good old Courtney always looking on the positive side of things.

But she snorts and continues on about how stupid graduation is and no matter how annoying she may be , she's right. I don't really wanna admit it but really banners? We're graduating and that means every person in the school and anyone who's invited will get to see the school boards best football , basketball , Volleyball , soccer and all the others who won first in the district they will see them in dress shirts and dresses. Not many people wanting to miss out on that! on top of that we have to rehearse how we're gonna do it.

"Remember to smile !" now here comes the person who (unlike our teacher mrs. Partride) is always cheery and happens to be my favourite teacher , the art teacher mrs. alken.

Though we don't have a photography class at manhattan middle school (mms for short ) once she figured out my dream she not only encouraged it but she also helped me , sometimes at recess she'd give me all sorts of cool tips!

"Like that's gonna happen" Marco whispers as everyone bursts out giggling.

"Marco I know you want me to stay but don't say that just 'cause she's my favourite teacher!" I snap.

He shuts up if there's anyone in this world he listens to about half of the other grade eights would say it's me. He's asked me to the dance almost every dance since last year and 1 - 3 times asked me out ( I've lost track on exactly how many) , everytime I've said no until last holiday dance. Ever since we've been pretty close in an awkward way.

Luke snorts "he may listen to you but I don't Ana !" Luke another person who wants me to stay but I need to leave.

Luke is like a brother to me annoying and yet still your bestie and your never actually mean to each other just annoying and laughing away. So like all brothers he starts being annoying trying to get me to stay.

"That's enough , eights ! We need to practice !" that's the mrs. Partride I know always yelling and with a sour expression.

But it seems she realized not to waste too much breathe in the next 2 days. But we all listen anyways being bored with our conversation and laughing anyways.
