The rows of students were chittering excitedly. They were constantly touching up their too-neat hairdos and adjusting their best clothes.
"Excuse me, girl on the right!"
A buzz went through the crowd as they turned to identify the "girl on the right".
"You! The one looking down!"
The girl looking down finally looked up from the interesting concrete ground at the cameraman who was gesturing wildly now.
"Yes, you! Smile and look at the camera!"
The students around her snickered giving each other knowing looks...
The cameraman counted down to three before he pressed down on the shutter button. At that moment, the girl who was looking down swiftly turned around, showing her back and long black hair to the camera.
The cameraman pulled himself away from the viewfinder agitatedly, "You! Girl! Can you try FACING the CAMERA?".
Some students around the difficult girl snickered, some students rolled their eyes and gave out long audible sighs, some gave sarcastic remarks. They usually had this problem every time it was Picture Day.

The cameraman kept an eye on the difficult girl and counted down, "Make sure you LOOK AND SMILE at the camera, people!"
The girl, with much difficulty and visible panic, forced her thin lips to stretch and reveal a set of long, sharp and black teeth...
