Chapter Eleven: School Again, Awsten?

The next morning, I woke up to Grand Theft Autumn, but this time with Liam at my side. I stroked her purple hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek. Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Time for school, Kairi." I whispered. She groaned and looked me in the eye.

"Can we not stay home?" She asked, burying her head in my chest. "We did that already. Maybe we can take off tomorrow, since it's Friday." I said and stroked her hair back again. "We have off tomorrow anyways. Don't you remember? They let us have off before prom." She said and sighed.

"I just don't feel like Ciara today." I tilted my head. "Why? What's she doing?"
"She's Just been pestering me in Math a lot lately. Since it's the last two weeks of school, we're really not doing any work. So she just teases me and it's getting on my nerves." She sighed. I frowned. "Just ignore her. Bet you she's not gonna get voted prom queen. My bets that it's you." I smiled and booped her nose. She giggled and got out of bed.

"I'm gonna take a quick shower. I'll be back." She smiled, grabbing her stuff and walking out of my bedroom. I heard her greet my dad in the hall and I smiled. I rolled over and grabbed my phone, it being without any notifications per usual.

I clicked it off and sighed. I didn't feel like going to school today, but I have to. I got up and chose my outfit today. A blue shirt and tight black pants. I lay it on the bed and my eyes suddenly caught on a gem on the top of my shelf.

I took it off of the shelf and unzipped it's cover. I touched the on button and it fired up, surprising me a bit. I wasn't sure if it was going to work, since it's been off for so long.

I put the camera to my eye and smiled. I missed photography. Ma and I used to take a lot of photos together, she taught me the ins and outs of the art. I removed it from my eye and looked through the photos.

The first one was of Ma, a smile on her face and her beautiful green eyes shining from the sunlight. The next one was of Dad, his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth while he focused. He was making pancakes, the pan tilted to the left and the spatula under the pancake. The next one was of me, surprisingly. It was taken about a week after Ma passed. It was when I found that spot in the park. My hair was blond and I sat under the gazebo. I had a small smirk on my face, nothing else. That was the last photo.

I exited out of the gallery and hopped onto the bed. I should really take up photography again, since it was really fun, taking pictures and stuff.

There was nothing that captured my eye at the moment, so I switched the camera off just as Liam walked into the room.

She was pure perfection, yet again. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail again, it being wet from the shower. She wore a black long sleeved Panic! At The Disco shirt and a leather skirt. Her lips were smeared with a beautiful crimson lipstick. I smiled the got and idea.

"Don't move." I told her as I picked up my camera. I switched it on and pointed it to her. The sunlight from behind her made her look like an angel, her head tilted to the left, her left hand on the door frame and her left foot crossed over her right leg. I didn't waste any time and took a few pictures, relishing at the sight.

I set the camera down and she smiled. "How many photos did you just take?" She asked and I shrugged. "A few. I'm gonna take a shower." I said, setting my camera on the nightstand and getting up off of my bed. I grabbed my clothes and before I left the room, Liam grabbed my forearm and pulled me closer.

She pressed her lips to mine in a short, emotion stirring kiss. She smirked at me. "Go take a shower, ya dork." I smiled and left for the shower. I got to the bathroom, locked the door behind me and took a hot shower.
