Capturing a picture (classroom)

Our professor gave us a prompt to "capture a picture" - show the entire narrative behind it, in just a couple pages. It's funny, I started mine about one a.m. the day it was due - and I had also just started my NaNo novel (yes, I'm doing that for the first time), so it was an abrupt switch and I actually had to catch myself: WHOA, this is not just for word count, this is for CLASS and a GRADE. Nevertheless - something really interesting happened, and my professor told me afterward that he really thought it was excellent. I do too now, reading it again. It was a little worrisome at first because the theme is so dramatized!high school - but I think I pulled it off. I really like my last three paragraphs.

Also, there is very subtle slash.

About the picture - I do watch [profile] foto_decadent  , though I don't have a large appreciation for the really strange stuff in it. I best like the classy, well-done portraits of everyday life. Like this one - it has a number of favorites in it.
