Me, my grandparents, my mom, my dad, and my brother went to a basketball tournament. They had famous people represent the teams. They had Martha Stewart, Celine Dion, and Christina Aguilera. Celine was eating and I wanted to take a picture. I thought it would be mean to take a picture when she was eating so I waited till she go up to put her plate away. So when she left I got up and asked her if I could take a picture with her but by then other girls that I knew did not like her took pictures with her. When she was done I asked her if I could take a picture now but she didn't say anything. I kept bugging her till she finally did. When we took the pictures she was not happy and it bugged me so I gave her a hug. My mom was taking the pictures and at the end I walked off, but I heard my mother say to Celine you should know how much she likes you. I went back to the basketball game but it was over so I went back to were my mom and Celine were talking but they both left. I was sad because Celine was not happy when we took pictures.
