"We just want a nice picture," my mother screams with one of my cameras in her hands. "I'm made for behind the camera, mother," I scream back at her. Two arms wrap around me from behind me. "Relax," he whispers in my ear. I immediately relax in his arms and smile turning my head to the side, so I can place a kiss on his cheek.

"Wow, that's an amazing picture," Demi exclaims while staring down at my camera. I hit Jay's arms as soon as I realize what's going on. "You did that on purpose," I yell at him. He just smiles at me with a boyish grin. 

When he looks like that, I can't stay mad at him for that long. 

"Now, pose with your brother," my mother demands. Both Kevin and I roll our eyes but pose anyway. Mom makes around a billion pictures where we have to pose with all of our friends, apart, and as a couple. 

"Don't you think that's enough, beautiful?" Dad asks coming up behind mom and wrapping his arms around her. 

"Two of our kids are graduating today, Shawn. This is a historical day," mom argues with him. Both our parents start arguing about whatever they are arguing about.

Luckily, somebody calls out that we have to take a seat, so we get to go. We practically run towards our seats. Because we have to sit in alphabetic order, I get to sit next to my amazing brother. 

That's not sarcasm, I really do find my brother amazing. 

We all get called out after each other, but because our school is different, they start at the end of the alphabet. Since I'm not getting called out any time soon, I let my mind wander. 

Last week, prom happened. I didn't really have the urge to go, but I thought it would be fun with all my friends. 

Jay had asked me in the cutest way possible. He had made a special kind of treasure hunt. 

Jay had laid one of my cameras on my bed. He had taken a picture of himself at the Santa Monica pier with a 'P' in his hand. The camera had a little card hanging on the message to find him. I had taken the camera with me to the Santa Monica Pier. There he had made a huge 'R' with seashells in the sand. Standing on the pier I had made a picture of the letter and after that, a man came walking over me. 

He had asked for my name and when I told him, he gave me a little paper. The paper told me to go to a place where you could get the most delicious milkshakes in town. 

As I had thought I had found a huge 'O' of fairy lights. When I found the card, I had to think of the message a little bit. It just said 'Cameras can't break of sexiness'. At first, I didn't know what he meant, but then I remembered that he said something like that before we started dating. When I was still dating that asshole who-shall-not-be-named. 

I had babysat his baby siblings, Emma, and Jake that night and he had come home early. I went over to his house where I found Cam and Demi. They pointed me towards the living room. A camera rested on the coffee table. 'Make a picture without looking in the lens,' said the card. I made a picture without looking in the lens, I thought it was weird, but when I looked at the picture on the little screen. I saw a huge 'M' on the screen and a very vague background. 

"You know where to find him," Cameron said behind him. I furrowed my eyebrows together before I realized where to found him. There's only one place I can think of. 

I found Jay at our spot on the beach. He stood there with a question mark on his shirt and then personally asked me to prom.

Of course, I said 'yes' and we went to prom together. I wore a marine blue skater dress, and because my best friend wanted it, marine blue heels. Jay matched my style and wore an amazing marine blue suit. We looked like the ultimate couple and nobody, except for me, was surprised when both of us were crowned king and queen.
