11 Photobomb

The texts from “unidentified” kept coming.

A stranger! On top of being really annoying, this person was making me break Rule #5. Enough was enough! I blocked the number.

Just then, Felicia and her pals walked by me, chatting.

“Felicia, is that the dress you wore on PA2ME?” Berry asked.

“Yes,” she responded. “But I added the belt this time.”

“It’s totally swag!” Melinda cried.

“The swaggiest!” Belinda added.

Facepalm. (“Swaggiest” sounded like a word that SoLazy would come up with.) But something about that conversation did interest me. What on earth was PA2ME?

Penny walked up a moment later.

“Hi, Babymouse.”

“Have you heard of something called PA2ME?” I asked her.

“Sure, Babymouse,” she said. “That’s the nickname for the Pay Attention 2 Me 24/7 app.”

“What’s it do?”

“It’s a popular photo-sharing service. People take pictures of things and post them online for everyone to see.”

“Uh, what kinds of things do they post pictures of?” I asked.

“Like what you eat for breakfast,” she said. “Or maybe a picture of your feet if you get a new toenail polish. There’s been a lot of girls posting pics of perfect whiskers lately. It’s pretty trendy.”

I definitely needed this app.


When I got home that afternoon, I created an account on PA2ME. Now I had to document something SO mesmerizing it would make me instantly famous. Penny had mentioned breakfast, so I decided to start with a photo shoot starring one of Mom’s granola bars.

I uploaded the photo. Within minutes, I had comments.
