Picture Perfect

Chapter 3

"Turn it off!", Dinah whines as her sleep is disrupted by a beeping noise.  Camila get's up slowly, reaching for the alarm clock.  "Why didn't we turn it off last night?", Dinah adds.

"Because we still have classes today.", Camila responds, grabbing clothes from her drawer before walking into the bathroom to change.

"I swear, the teachers are so evil here.  Having a performance festival and a huge party, then expecting us to go to classes the next day.”  Dinah checks her phone, and sees that she has a missed call from Louis.  ‘Probably trying to see if I was up on time.’, Dinah guesses.  So she dials his number by memory, and listens to it ring.

“Oh good, you’re up.”, Louis answers.

“Good morning to you too.”, Dinah says sarcastically.

“Oh shut up.  Anyway, we’re all gonna meet for lunch today at the pizza place on campus.”

“What's the occasion?”

“Surprisingly, Jade and Perrie said that their teacher is gonna cancel their usual lunch practice today.  So, we decided to celebrate.  Does that sound cool?”

“Yeah, we’ll be there.”

“We? Oh, that’s right!  Camila can come too.  Okay, see you guys there.  Bye.”

"Bye."  Camila walks out of the bathroom right when Dinah hangs up.  "Hey Mila, how does pizza for lunch sound?"

"Good.  Why?"

"We're all gonna meet at this pizza place for lunch today.  You're invited."  Camila holds in her chuckle, trying not to laugh at how Dinah was still laying in her bed, not looking like she was going to get up any time soon.

"Who's gonna be there?"

"The whole gang pretty much.  So, you wanna come?"

Camila thinks it over, a bit nervous at the thought of being around all of them.  "Sure.  I guess I'll come with."

Camila's class is boring as usual.  She's debating on whether she should sleep or not.  She's already dozed off a few times, but Christina Grimmie next to her helped her stay awake.  Now that she thinks about it, Christina has helped her quite a lot so far.  She helped Camila find the class on the first day, and she helps Camila work with equipment she's not used to.

"What is the best angle to take a photo from, if you were taking a picture of a face?", the teacher asks.  Camila rolls her eyes at the easiest question in the world, smiling when she sees Christina do the same.

Christina raises her hand to answer.  "Profile."  Camila nods her head, knowing that was the correct answer.

"I'm sorry, but that's incorrect.", the teacher replies.  Camila is shocked.  Christina got the right answer; it's common logic to take a profile photo because it shows the most important features.  She raises her hand.

"I'm sorry, but I think she's right.  The profile view accents different features of the face, and it can express more emotion."

"Are you saying I'm wrong?"

"I'm not saying you're right..."

"Alright, Ms. Cabello.  Give me a three page essay on Monday about why the profile view is better."  Camila sinks into her chair, trying to keep herself calm so she doesn't punch this guy in the face.
