Bloodstream | Nate Jacobs

Chapter thirty-nine

Song: Danger incorporated - forever

"Lily, this is amazing," Katy exclaimed as she held up one of the black and white photos that had finished developing. The developing process was still a lot more then I could bare so one of the boys had done it for me, as the whole photography thing was still new to me.

Katy's shoulder-length hair was in a half-up, half-down ponytail, and the black turtle neck that she was wearing seemed to make her cheeks look a less puffy today. I found myself admiring her dark-skinned complexion, she was breathtaking, but in a cute innocent kind of way.

"Really?" I questioned anxiously, they had after all just had been a few photos of some random trees that I had seen yesterday on my walk home. Though It was such a strange feeling when I had noticed the barren trees, I couldn't help but feel the need to capture the lonely branches on the camera.

"You seem to have an eye for photography, these really captivate the trees in such a tragic yet beautiful way," Katy gushed, with a wide smile on her lips, a singular dimple appeared on her left cheek.

God. Why was I so compelled by her innocent demeanor? As much as I wanted to protect her there was a part of me that was begging to take the girls' innocence to swallow her up like black void. This was why I was dangerous for normal people. The need to protect her wasn't strong enough to fight away the urges that I had to damage her. I couldn't help but want to take shiny new toys and rough them up a little.

I let out a deep sigh, "Thank you that means-"

My sentence was cut short as the door to the photography room swung open carelessly, a pair of heels clicked aggressively on the floor caused the attention of everyone towards the door. She looked familiar but then again most of the girls all had just really looked the same. Her honey-colored hair was curly, very curly, with each step I found myself watching her curls bounced. She was wearing a short pink dress with a white purse slung over her body.

"Cam, I thought you weren't joining this year," Katy stuttered out.

"I'm not. I'm here to talk to this bitch," Cam scoffed, though as she spoke spitefully her voice was still so sweet. And her lips were a shade of glossy pink that would make anyone question how they would taste.

Strawberries, she most definitely tasted like strawberries.

"Me?" I questioned in a dumbfounded tone.

"Yes. You are the new bitch right?" Cam questioned again.

I found myself staring at her lips again. She was attractive, really attractive. Her skin was a deep olive tone and her eyes were a vibrant blue. How the hell was she so fucking beautiful.

"I mean, I guess," I answered slowly.

"Cameron!" Nate shouted angrily down the hallway. "I told you to wait until Lily was done."

I cocked my head to the side in confusion at the blonde girl in front of me as a panting Nate was now standing in the doorway of the classroom.

"I'm kind of busy, we should talk later," I spoke softly, feeling the gazes from the rest of the photography class on the back of my head. This was confusing as hell.

"I think you should probably just go, it looks important," Katy spoke up, a disappointed tone lingered in her words, "We will see you tomorrow."

I turned around and everyone instantly looked away from me, great. They had all been waiting for me to bring some sort of drama to the photography class and here it was on our first official meeting. Nate Jacobs was going to get an earful when we were alone.
