Default 17y.o. first job. how much?

Hi all.

I am 17 years old. I have been asked to help shoot a local school end of year formal (not by the school, by the photographer) and he asked me how much i want to get paid. I HAVE NO IDEA ! As i work in a camera shop i asked one of the people that i work with their opinion and she first said $50/hr and i was like W H A T ! ! ! ! ! then she said don't do it for lower then $25/hr, even at that i still think im asking too much of him, i mean i do know him alitte, its not just some random. We start at 2.30pm and go around the town photographing the year 12 students last day as a class, then at 7.00pm the final Disco starts and goes till 11 i think but we wont be there that long.. unless i personaly want to stay longer.

What do you think. Before today mum was thinking id be looking at maybe $100 for the evening. but with $25/hr thats at least $300.
