One of their friends...with a camera!

Before I even had the opportunity to obscure my face, a flash went off. Now I was aware that a high definition photo of me in my underwear surrounded by girls was now in the hands of some pretty boy with sparkling blue eyes and light blonde hair with a red streak dyed in it. He looked up from behind his camera and smiled.

"I gotta say girls, you brought me a real winner this time." He turned to Bridget. "Don't let this one go anytime soon girl."

"I don't intend to." Bridget leaned her head on my shoulder. Her soft follicles tickled my skin until I was in goosebumps.

"Ah, I take it you know each other?" I looked between him and the trio.

"Yeah, this is our friend Zayne," Scarlet introduced the man who shot another photo of me with my guard down. "He's also our senior here, he helped us get used to the campus when we first entered Intectus Deprehendi University. From there, we discovered we had similar interests as we got closer. You see," She gestured towards me as if she we making a famous presentation. "I like to make shit happen," she pointed towards Zayne now "and Zayne likes to _be _there when I make shit happen."

To emphasize this point, Zayne clicked away on his camera as I waved my hand in front of my face but I had to give pause when Bridget started to speak: "Did I mention he's also my cousin?" at this new information, I paused and Zayne managed to get another candid shot of me with an incredulous look on my face.

"Wait...what? But you're..." How do I put this delicately? Bridget's accent betrayed the fact that she was from overseas while Zayne was clearly American. But as I glanced between the two they did look quite similar. Both of them were beautiful blondes with compelling eyes and elegant features. Could they really be related?

"My uncle moved here to the States before he had Zayne," Bridget answered as if reading my mind. "I didn't get here until I was in middle school. Though I did speak the language fluently before I arrived even though it wasn't my first. I speak several different languages actually from all the travelling I did before coming."

I would have been very impressed by that fact if I wasn't highly aware that her cousin still had a clear photo of my face. It would be problematic if that photo got around school. "Excuse me, could you please not share that photo?" I asked pleadingly.

Zayne smirked "I don't know. What are you going to give me in return?"
