Zeke disagreed with Jason. "Don't tell me you don't find it weird, too? I mean, we all know Lucas thinks everyone is beneath him, so why would he put down his pride in front of Corinne? You know what I think? Lucas might be trying to avenge Anya by stealing Corinne away from Jeremy."
"Wow…you should go be a scriptwriter," said Jason sarcastically.
"Ugh. Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall. This is getting nowhere," growled Zeke.
Annie had just finished replying to her friends' comments. She was ecstatic by all the praises thrown at her and wanted to find something else to show off, so she turned on her phone camera and pulled Corinne over.
"Say cheese, Corinne! I'm going to post a picture of us later so that everyone will know I just got myself a new aunt-in-law!"
Corinne smiled helplessly toward the phone's front camera.
After checking the photo, however, Annie seemed displeased. "Eww, the front camera is useless. Just look at how blurry the photo is. Let's try again with the back camera!"
The phone's back camera flashed before Corinne could refuse, but Annie did not seem to be happy with the newest photo either. The previous photo was too blurry, but this time, it was because both of them were not even in the frame due to the angle it was taken.
"Ugh, it's so hard to find the right angle using the back camera!"
Corinne was about to tell Annie to stop trying when Jason suddenly came over and said, "Why don't I help you take the photo, Annie?"
Before Corinne could say anything, Annie passed her phone to Jason. "Sure thing. Make sure you take a nice photo of us!"
Jason smiled and put Annie's phone to the side. He then fished out his phone from his pocket. "Let's use my phone instead. My camera has a very high resolution."
Corinne did not want Jason to have a photo of her in his phone, but before she could stop him, Annie said happily, "Okay, sure! Remember to send me the photo later."
Corinne was speechless.
Lucas was even more speechless.
Jason received a message from Lucas as soon as he got back his phone.
[Send me the photo.]
Jason was puzzled, but he then smiled and typed, [Which one?]
[Need you ask?]
Ding!
Lucas saved the photo of him photobombing Corinne to his phone as soon as he received it from Jason. Although he did look funny in that photo, it was after all still the first photo that had him and Corinne together, and that was reason enough for him to treasure it.
