Hi, I`m Jennifer. I live in New Topia. I just turned 19 last week and I work as a photographer for NT Magazine. I take photos of celebrities but my real dream is to become a nature photographer but to do that I need to save up a lot of money. So for now I will stay as paparazzi.

*1 new message* I click on my inbox to read the message. It’s my boss telling me to go to Restaurante de Fancyfood because some celebrity was there. Luckily I had just finished eating at the Carls Jr. across the street. I walked over to Restaurante de Fancyfood when I was stopped by one of the waiters asking if I had a table. “No” I replied. “Well you better get one before the manager comes out. Here take this one” he said pointing to the table next to him. “Ill be back soon to get your order” he told me. I scanned the room looking for the mystery celeb rumoured to be there, when I saw the hottest guy I`d ever seen.

He had dark brown hair that fell over his eyes until he flipped it off revealing his bright blue eyes. Who is that? I ask in my head filing through any memories I had when it hit me. He was Jake Ryan. Gorgeous young actor from the hit TV series Angels. So he was the celebrity I would be stalking for tonight and for once I was happy to be paparazzi. Just then the waiter comes back “What would you like?” “Ill just have a coke” I replied. “That’s it? You need to order food if you want to stay at this table and stare at Jake” he urged. Even though I`d just finished eating a huge burger from Carls Jr. I decided ill order something “Fine, I’ll have a Caesar salad.” I said back to him. Luckily my boss pays for me to eat and take photos.

A while later the waiter brings my coke and Caesar salad. “Here ya go” he says as he places my food in front of me. I push my salad around with a fork as I watch Jake. I text my boss a picture I took on my phone and ask if it’s him. She replies yes but when I lift my head up to watch him again I see him staring back at me and making winky faces. That’s when I notice some girl sitting next to him. He says something to her and gets up and walks towards me. Inside I was freaking out but on the outside I looked calm, I hope. He walks closer and closer and then past me and to the toilets. All hope of a hot guy actually noticing me is gone. Then I remember that my boss would love an embarrassing picture of Jake. So I whip out my camera and think of a plan to get him back for flirting with me from afar.

As he walks out of the toilets I position myself so I can take a picture and run. As he walks closer I grab my coke and chuck it over his pants so it looks like he wet himself. I then take a picture while he looks around hoping everyone saw that I caused it. I run out as he chases me yelling all sorts of swear words but I’m very fast so I out run him quickly then jog over to work and show my boss the picture. “Great Work, How did you get this?” she asks. “I have my ways” I tell her. The next day all I see are teenage girls with the NT Magazine and my picture on the front page.

Holidays

In the holidays I did lots of fun things.

 I spent New Year`s Eve with my family watching movies and talking. A few minutes before midnight we all went outside and stood on the deck of my grandparents house in Onemana. As midnight drew closer we started counting from 10 downwards. At exactly midnight granddad blew a French horn to signal the beginning of a new year. We have been blowing this horn ever since I was little. Everyone then took a turn at trying to blow the horn – not very well.

A few days after new years, my cousin Louise and I went down to stay with Breanna and her family in a caravan. While we were there the weather was quite nice so we went swimming, reading and tanning at the beach. We were always reading and sitting in the sun. At night we got two packs of cards and played Scum – a card game- with her family and their friends. This game was really fun as everyone was getting really competitive. On the last night we were there Breanna, Louise, Madison and I were all sitting in our sleeping bags looking at the stars and reading our books. I had a great holidays and enjoyed everyday of it.
