The Girl Behind The Camera

~1~

I never show my face. It's something I learned to do. After moving in 6th grade I gave up looking for friends. Because with my luck the would all be fake in the end. "It's the new girl! I'll try to be her friend until she is not the new girl and just leave her." Thats almost everybody's mind set here. And no one would call me by my name. No one knew my name. I was just the "new girl"
"Hey new girl!"
"New girl! Want to be my partner?"
"Ay! New girl! Wanna hang out?"
As many times as i tried to tell them "My names Rose." The would still call me "New girl"  so I gave up trying to get them to call me by my name. Some people still try to talk to me. Even though I moved to this school 2 years ago I'm still "New Girl" because no one calls me by my real name.
"New Girl! Hey wanna hang out after school at my house? Some of my friends are going to be there. There's also gonna be a few guys."
Those girls are going to become your friend and use you. Those girls are always so fake. I'm not the type of girl to go over to a random girls house and meet a guy, then be making out in the back of his car the next night. Then, He will cheat on you and then break your heart. They are all so fake. I want someone real. For once. Someone who genuinely cares about me. Not someone who is buttering you up only to break you in a few months. That's why I hide. Hood up, earbuds in, Camera in backpack. Photography is my only escape. Where I see true beauty. Not fake beauty, no layers of makeup, no expensive clothes. Where everything is finally real. I normally only took photos for my family events, special moments, and just as a hobby. Then I joined the yearbook to start doing things with my photography, I was the only one in photography which I enjoyed. I didn't have to talk much and just took photos at school events and photos around the school. Photography is the only thing real in my life. Because everything is fake. Everything.
