So awkward. Is there even an excuse that can be made?

Just say... "Sorry, I put on the flash for when I get texts and forgot to turn it off"

Or just tell her how strikingly gorgeous she is and win everything

there's actually a setting on your phone so that whenever you get a text the flash goes off to alert you. you could make that excuse.

Sorry, I put the flashlight on..

EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!!!

So He's accually black

"I was taking a picture of myself but accidently turned the camera the other way

My friend did this in an Office Depot. I told her that I pretend to text when I take pictures of people, and she tried it, the flash was on, so she quickly turned the camera towards me, and I smiled. Crisis avoided. She still has the picture.
