Chapter 63: Taking Graduation Photos

  Time flies, and there are only five days left before the exam. The school has started to take our graduation photos in a grand manner. A sunny day with a gentle breeze was chosen for this occasion, which is this Friday.

  The scene of the elementary school graduation photo has long been forgotten, and the only thing that can be remembered is the high school graduation photo. At that time, our whole class wore uniforms with a sentence written on them: "I said I would have light, so there was Class 37 of High School." Because our head teacher's name had the word "light" in it, after taking the photo, all the girls in the class cried, feeling that the day of parting was getting closer and closer.

  But now, it's the same situation, we're just still young and haven't realized the pain of parting yet. Thinking again, nowadays everyone hasn't thought about customizing class uniforms or yearbooks, just a graduation photo, it's really a bit thin.

  While I was immersed in memories, Xiao ran over and waved her hand in front of my face, saying: "What are you thinking about? Why do you look so dazed, a bit like Xuan Yuan?"

  I looked at her and said, "What's the matter with you guys, always dragging me and him into things?" "No, I'm serious, Xuan Yuan has been thinking a lot lately, I really don't know if your brains are structured differently from ours, why don't you guys ever take a break after class?"

  "Haha, nope, I was just randomly thinking about it. As for Xuan Yuan, he's probably thinking about some problem or other. The exam is coming up soon, so it's not surprising. It'll be fine once the exam is over."

  Classmates were also discussing enthusiastically on the side. Student A said: "What are we going to wear on the day of taking graduation photos? It's rare that we're not required to wear school uniforms, I want to wear something beautiful, this is a precious memory of my elementary school graduation." Student B continued: "Who says it's not? I'm going to wear that princess dress."

  It was Friday afternoon, and the weather was indeed very sunny. All eight classes of our sixth grade gathered on the playground to take graduation photos. The playground was filled with chatter, showing our excitement and enthusiasm. Some classmates even brought their own cameras from home. The photo shoot followed the class order, and as we were the second class, it was our turn right after the first class finished. When the teacher counted the number of people, she surprisingly found that one person was missing. After searching for a while, they finally discovered that it was Shu Tengteng. Although I'm not a saint, if someone offends me, I will definitely return with color. However, Shu Tengteng has been ostracized for the past week, and today she didn't even show up for the graduation photo shoot. We've been classmates and desk mates for almost two years, so it's hard not to feel a little sympathetic.

  Everyone was a bit resentful, but under the teacher's comfort, the classmates decided to let other classes take pictures first and wait for Shu Tengteng. The teacher called Shu Tengteng's family, but no one answered. When it was time for Class 6 to take pictures, Shu Tengteng ran over, panting, but seemed to be running a bit strangely, limping along. As she got closer, I saw that her face had scratches on it. The teacher went up to ask what happened and found out that she had encountered an unreasonable motorcyclist on her way to school by bike today, and both the person and the bike fell to the ground. The motorcyclist even cursed at her, but with the help of kind-hearted people, she was finally able to rush over.

  Some classmates said she deserved it, while others thought she was a bit pitiful. After all, which girl doesn't have a crush? Anyway, the saying that "a pitied person must have a hateful side" is really true.

  She saw and didn't miss taking the graduation photo, her eyes were full of joy. After Class 8 finished, our class took a photo in order of height, divided into four rows: the first row crouched down, the second row stood on flat ground, the third row stood on a wooden step, and the fourth row was all boys standing on an even higher wooden step.

  And I, being a bit short, naturally sat in the first row, next to Xiao Xiao. The photographer asked us to smile, to smile brightly. In my past life, I was born not photogenic, so when taking pictures, I'm not too willing to smile. Today, however, I did smile, but it's a bit stiff. As the photographer shouted "1, 2, 3", we all shouted "eggplant" together, and one photo was taken.

  After I stood up, I heard Lin Lilie behind me say: "Why only take one photo? I finally found a bit of feeling, that last photo definitely wasn't very good." Another girl said: "Don't be so particular, we know you're demanding perfection, but you look great today, the photos will definitely turn out beautiful."

  At this time, Li put it there and said: "Yes, Lin Lili, you took a strange photo, but can I have two class leaders next to me who are even stranger? Xuan Yuan had a thoughtful expression, which was the facial paralysis that our English representative Nan Xiao Xiao said. Wu Hanwen was fine, at the critical moment he was staring blankly, and after the photographer finished taking the picture, he asked me when it was taken? I really don't know what he looks like in the photo." Everyone laughed out loud. Tao Yu also chimed in: "I always blink when I take a photo, this time I finally didn't blink, hehehe."

  It seems that taking a graduation photo, I just realized that everyone attaches great importance to it. I really look forward to the result of the photos. After taking the group photo, the time below is our own time to take photos and write notes in the yearbook. Many girls brought their own cameras, but they were all ordinary pixel cameras. I'm not very particular about it either, after all, future digital cameras have low requirements for photographers.

  At this time, Yaya came over and said: "Xiao Xiao, come on, let's take a photo together to cherish the memory." I took a look at Yaya's camera, it was actually a Casio Z4, which is a new model that just came out this year. It's portable and super small, DC is really the new favorite of the younger generation! Indeed, our family's Panasonic is also not bad, but I didn't bring it with me, what a pity. Neither Xiao Xiao nor I know how to use it, we only saw Yaya operating it very smoothly. She asked us to pose in various styles, at first I refused to take photos, but she insisted. Later on, after taking many photos, I felt that they were actually not bad.

  Xiaoxiao and I sat in various weird poses under the willow tree, by the pond, next to the sandbox, making funny faces like Zhang Dàmǒubā (a character with a big mouth), raising eyebrows and winking eyes, competing to see who could make the most interesting ghost face. Finally, at the classroom door, Xiaoxiao and I each made half of a heart shape with our hands, which was quite loving. You know, this pose was still very trendy and fashionable at that time. Just after we finished making this pose, Yaya started fussing, saying she also wanted to make this pose separately with Xiaoxiao and me.

  At this time, my cousin also came over and said: "Cousin, I knew you'd definitely be with them. Come on over and let's take a group photo." I took a look at the camera in my cousin's hand, pouted and said: "No wonder you didn't remind me, it turns out the camera was in your hands all along. Speak up, how are you going to compensate me for not taking a photo?"

  "Ha ha, come on, you were just having a great time earlier, and besides, I took lots of photos, they're yours too. Spit it out, do you have something else you want me to run errands for?"

  "Oh, no one wants to order you around, they just want to blackmail you. And who says what's mine is yours? Remember, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine, haha! Come on, let's go take some photos together."

  Of course, I, Xiao Xiao and Ya Ya also took some photos with the boys. If we didn't take pictures, we wouldn't know that some boys are particularly weird, some boys are particularly photogenic, and a few boys will stare with their eyes wide open when taking pictures, it's really funny.

  There are also words on the classmate's record book. Someone said that he would become a vegetable seller in the future, because his grandmother sells vegetables and has a lot of spare change to buy spicy strips.

  Some people say he will be a veterinarian in the future because he likes small animals. Some people say to be a doctor, to be a teacher, to be a scientist.

  Some people say he wants to open a beverage factory, then he can drink as much Sprite cola as he wants. Anyway, it's all weird and wonderful.

  What I write is always my wish: flowers see flowers bloom, cars see cars loaded. Sleep until naturally wake up, count money until hands cramp, haha!
