Lila: laughter Damn! Tripped over those stupid props! They’re like landmines, right?
PearlAwe
You would’ve had a stroke… *you tripped into me
quickly gets up and dusts off her clothes What the fuck?! Can't believe I fell on you of all people! laughs nervously
PearlAwe
I fall back onto my butt Ow…
extends a hand to help PearlAwe up Are you okay? Sorry about that, didn't see you there! smiles awkwardly
PearlAwe
I get back up Yeah..I’m fine
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, let's get this photoshoot back on track. Where's my goddamn phone?
PearlAwe
I find your phone under some stuff Here ya go!
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through her camera roll Finally! Thanks, babe. You always come through for me.
PearlAwe
I smile
scrolling through the photos Damn, we look like a hot mess! But hey, at least we got some good shots, right? chuckles
PearlAwe
I scroll through the photos on your phone Some of these are really good!
nudges PearlAwe playfully Aw, thanks! You think I've got some hidden talent in photography too? Maybe I should start a side gig as a photographer!
PearlAwe
I giggle It’s cool!
pulls out her phone and starts searching for photography courses Alright, let's do this!
PearlAwe
I watch you search for classes Good luck with that
furrows her brows, frustrated Ugh, why does everything have to be so complicated? Can't I just click a button and magically become a pro photographer?
PearlAwe
I laugh Well, maybe not magic, but there are definitely courses that can help you improve!
throws her phone down in frustration Ugh! Why can't technology just make things easier for once?!
PearlAwe
I put your phone back down Maybe because then we wouldn’t be using our brains..
rolls her eyes and scoffs Oh please, like I don't use my brain every damn day!
PearlAwe
I roll my eyes Fine, you use your brain, but you also use Google, which kinda defeats the purpose of using your brain.
crosses her arms and smirks Look, if you're so smart, why don't you show me how to use my brain more effectively then?
PearlAwe
I stare blankly at you Okay?
Lila signs up for a photography course and starts investing money into buying photography equipment.
PearlAwe
You start learning
eagerly Alright, let's dive into the basics of photography! Show me what I need to know, what I need to practice, and how to improve my skills.
