A photo booth camera captures the moment when a girl confesses something to her friend.
In a poem or short story, describe the image and let the readers infer the nature of the confession.

**First Picture on the Strip:**
****
She looks shyly at my eyes. I look confused, hands perched upon my lap. Her mouth is open as if she is speaking. God, I hate that hair.
**Second Picture on the Strip:**
****
My eyes are wide and I have one hand clasped over my mouth. Her mouth has dropped open as if she was probably yelling. I just sit there in awe. God, I hate that makeup.
**Third Picture on the Strip:**
****
She’s leaning into me. I’ve pressed myself against the wall, flattening my body. I look disgusted. She looks heartbroken. God, I hate that outfit.
**Fourth Picture on the Strip:**
****
You can only see my foot. I’m leaving the photo booth entirely. She looks like she’s about to cry. God, I hate that I did that.
