Love at First Click
by Elizabeth ChandlerFlynn was on my end of the long line of players. His thick, dark hair ruffled in the breeze. He was one of the lucky guys whose cheeks actually showed it when he decided not to shave that day--very rough, very heart-stopping for the girls who got close, if not for the other team. It was so tempting to use my telephoto. But I was a disciplined journalist. Besides, when reviewing my photos from the previous year, I noticed I had zoomed in on Flynn like thirty times too many. It wasn't like I was in love with him or something--I've never even spoken to him, except to say "Hold it right there" or "Cheese." No, I had nothing more dangerous than what I call a "camera crush."
