The Photograph

What you see is what you get?

At first glance a normal, every day photograph. The girl looks straight into the camera, her eyes out lined in black. Her head is tilted back, leaning on the boy next to her. she has one of those smiles that makes you wanna bitchslap her, that goddamn-mona-lisa-too-I'm-too-happy-and-it's-too-hot-to-bother-with-a-real-grin smiles. Her eyes show a weird kinda understanding, like, maybe one day you'll get why I'm smiling like I am, but right now just assume I'm very happy. The boy seems oblivious that the photo's being taken. His face is almost in profile has he looks at the girl, with the fringe covering most of it. His glasses are falling fown his nose, and you can see headphones coming out from under his shoulderlength hair and going into his white, school-issue poloshirt. Although you see little of him, his expression matches the girl perfectly, with a barely-there smile and half-closed eyes that say "I'll do anything, if I get to stay here forever". Be careful for what you wish for sweetheart, you might just get it.
