I keep bleeding. I keep keep bleeding love. "Hey hun," I said as I flipped my phone open. "Hey," Keiara whispered. "What's up?" I asked. "Nothing really. How are you?" she asked. "Who cares about me. It's you I'm worried about," I replied. "Why?" she asked.
"How'd things with Trevor go?" I asked. "Well it actually went okay. He was really scarred and everything but he seemed really happy. It's that stupid bitch Lauren that caused all the problems," she said. "Oh so she's with him now?" I asked. "Yeah and she doesn't want to be bothered with a baby. But what makes her think they're still gonna be together then. I mean he cheated on me what do you think he's gonna do to you," she said.
"That's true," I said agreeing with her. "But enough of that drama. What's up with you and the hot guy?" she asked. "Jacob. His name is Jacob," I replied. "Hmm Jacob. I like that," she said. "But anyway nothings happened yet. I mean we just started hanging out," I said.
"Do you want anything to happen?" she asked. "Well yeah of course I do. But I don't know. He seems a little shy. But he's really really sweet. And funny. And awesome. And amazing," I said. "Awww you do not realize how cute you sound right now," she said in a high-pitched voice. "Shut up," I said smiling. "Whatever. Look I gotta go. Love you babe," she said. "Bye. Love you too."

"Oh alright because I didn't want to bother you when your doing something important," he said. I rolled my eyes. "Uhh so I know your probably busy during the week so wanna do something Saturday?" he asked. "Mhm I'd like that. So how'd fixing that transmission or whatever go?" I asked.

"Okay so have any of you noticed Tad Johnson staring over here the entire lunch period?" Dawn asked matter of factly. "Yup," Payton said. "Mhm," Tessa replied. "Who?" I asked. "Football captain," Dawn said. "Nice. Sweet. Smart," Payton added. "Tall, dark, and handsome," Tessa stated with a smile. "He's been watching one of us this whole time," Dawn said while eating her sandwich. "Really?" I asked. "Duh," Payton said. "He's coming over here," Tessa said rolling her eyes.
"Hello ladies," he said taking a seat. "Hey Tad," they said in unison. Except for me. "Hey I'm Tad," he said looking dead at me. "Uh hi I'm Jaylee," I said. "So Jaylee what are you doing this Saturday?" he asked. "I'm kinda busy on Saturday," I said. "Friday?" he asked. "Uh nothing," I said. "Well how would you like to go out with me?" he asked.
"Sorry she's all booked this weekend. Try again next week," Dawn said with a smile. "Okay okay I understand. But I don't give up so easily," he said with a smirk. And with that he walked away. "Uh-oh," Tessa said. "Uh-oh is right," I said. "Just ignore him. He'll go away eventually," Dawn said. "He keeps looking over here," Payton said. "Payton shut up your not helping," Dawn said. "He is really hot though," Dawn said. "Dawn!" I shouted.
"What? Jacob seems cool and everything but he's really shy. Maybe Tad will be better for you," she said shrugging. "Looks like little miss Nikki isn't gonna let that happen," Tessa said. We all looked over to Tad who currently had Nikki on his lap. IFigures./I "Whatever that'll get him off of my back," I said rolling my eyes.
"Hm that one on his left looks pretty hot," Dawn said. "Come on Jay hook me up," she said smiling. "Oh shut up Dawn," I said laughing. "Uh Dawn that's Joey Todd. He's in our English class," she said giving Dawn a weird look. "What? Really? Shows how much I pay attention in that class huh," she said shrugging it off. "Wow Dawn," I said laughing.

Lunch
11:20 a.m.
"Guys I just realized something last night," I said eating my pizza. "What?" Payton asked. "I have no friends," I said. "Yeah you do. You've got me, Payton, Tessa, and Jake," Dawn said. "See no friends whatsoever," I said. "Uh thanks," Tessa said.
"Look I don't mean it like that. It's just that the only thing I've tried at this school is cheerleading and that didn't work out too well. I need to be more involved and meet more people," I said. "Okay so what are you gonna do?" Payton asked. "Well I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions?" I asked.
"How about the photography club?" Dawn said. "Ooh that sounds fun," I said clapping my hands together. "Go check it out after school," Payton said. "Where?" I asked. "Room 201," Tessa said. "Cool," I said.

Room 201
3:10 p.m.
I knocked on the door and walked inside. "Hi is this the photography club?" I asked. "Yes," a guy .said. He was standing in the front of everyone else who were at the moment staring at me. "Uhm hi I'm Jaylee Wattson," I said partially waving my hand. "Hello," he replied.
"Uhm I was wondering if I could join your uhm club," I said. "Do you have any photography experience?" he asked. "Uhm yes," I said. "Well sure," he said smiling. "I'm Kingston," he said walking over to me and shaking my hand. He introduced me to the others. Chasity, Ella, Terrell, Zeke, Edie, Trey, and Hazel.
"Alright so let's get back to the meeting," Kingston said returning to his position in the front. I assumed he was something like the president. "The newspaper was asking for some photographers so I'm going to send Ella over. And how about you take Jaylee with you," he said. "Yeah sure," Ella answered.
I was sitting in my chair and I raised my hand. "Uh Jaylee," he said. "Uhm I don't mean to sound rude. But what exactly does the photography club do?" I asked. "Good question," he replied. "Oooh can I answer it?" Edie asked jumping up. "Sure Edie," he said waving his hand.
"Okay so our main duty is to assist the newspaper and take photos of whatever they want. We also do work for the art shows. That's what we spend most of our free time doing. There's a winter one and a spring one. And we meet every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday," she said smiling. "Uhm thanks for all the information," I said.
"So what kind of photography do you do?" she asked. "Uh I like conceptual and sill life," I said. "What about you?' I asked. "Oh well I really like abstract," she said. "Wanna know something really cool? Everyone in this club is into something different. We each have our own styles," she said. "Well that's unusual," I replied. "It is," she said.

"Happy Birthday Keiara!" I shouted into the phone. "Aww thanks Jay," she said. "So what are you doing for your birthday?" I asked. "Nothing this year," she said sadly. "And why not?" I asked. "Mom and Dad are trying to punish me for the whole pregnancy thing. Surprisingly most parents frown upon children out of wedlock," she said with a laugh.
"Awww that sucks," I said. "I know," she said. "So how are you?" she asked. "I'm good. I just joined the photography club," I said. "You mean you weren't already a member?" she asked. "No why would I be?" I asked. "Well you love it so much. You never left the house without at least your digital camera. I thought that would've been the first thing you signed up for. Not cheerleading," she said.
"I don't know it'd be weird joining immediately at a new school. So how's my future goddaughter?" I asked. "How do you know it's a girl?" she asked. "Just trust me. I can tell," I said. "Well whatever she's just fine," she said. I sensed an eye roll.
"Keiara dude I've got an amazing idea. Since your loser parents won't let you have a birthday party I'm gonna throw you a huge one when I come visiting in the summer," I said. "Aww Jay you're so sweet," she said. "I try," I said smiling.
"How are things with hot guy?" she asked. "Jacob. His name is Jacob," I said annoyed. "Yeah whatever," she said. "Well we have a date on Saturday," I said smiling. "Hey have you kissed hot guy yet?" she asked. Oh God. "Uhm no," I said. "Aww poor baby Jay," she said faking sadness. "Oh shut up," I said. "Haha well I gotta go babe. I'll talk to you later kay? Love you." "Love you too," I said hanging up.
