I simply nodded.

I watched as he took the bottle of the chemical and easily opened ithis large.muscular arms flexing. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

When he was done,he headed towards me,his movements were almost too slow as I enjoyed the view.

He was perfect.

Too perfect.

He was gorgeous.

He stood beside me and got to work.

I suddenly remembered when I saw him on that balcony with that other girl.

Disappointment flared within my insides and I couldn't help but feel hopeless.

I sneaked a look at him with the corner of my eye.

Even though I knew he didn't know that wolf was me,I still felt embarrassed like he did know.

I flushed scarlet when I realized he was talking to me.

“Sorry, what?"

"Can you hand me test tube B?"

“Sure,” I muttered still in thought.

I gave him one of the two yellowish liquids and watched as he poured it down.

Suddenly,sparks began to explode out of it and within seconds,the beaker was on fire.

I heard Blade's angry voice as he screamed at me to get away.

I blocked a flame from hitting me in the face and jumped to the other side,avoiding the damage to be

done.

Vet out a loud scream when flames began to bounce even higherburning my science paper that sat on

the table.

Mr.

Jeff appeared with a fire extinguisher and shot a white substance all around including me and Blade.

The class stood in silence for a while,watching the settling beaker and all of the sudden,the beaker

exploded into tiny shreds.

Mr.

Jeff looked at us.

"Go,clean,up,” he bit out every word.

We nodded and hurried off to the science sinks.

There was only one mirror that Blade and I shared.

We washed the chemicals off our clothes and hair,silent except for the sound of our breathing.

Blade looked at me and decided to break the silence,” You handed me the wrong chemical.” “I know.

I remembered chemical B being yellow and I saw two so I just gave you any,I'm really sorry.” He stared

at me for a moment,seeing the clear grief on my face before shrugging and cracking a smile.

"Don't be,I thought it was kind of funny.” looked at him,pausing from washing my hair,’ It wasn't it.” He

began to laugh,” you screamed so loud! Did you see your face! I thought you peed!"

I began to laugh as well’ Did you see your face? You were so angry,I thought you'd kill me!"

He bent over,clutching his stomach as he breathed heavily” Mr...Jeff...w—was so red! He was so mad!"

“And the students! They were so shocked! It's all over my hair, can't get it out.” "I'll help,” Blades fingers

began to massage my scalp while we both chuckled lightly.

Qur eyes met in the mirror and slowly our laughing began to fade.

We turned to look at each other,his golden caves digging deep holes in my gaze.

My whole body shivered in delight as he grew closer and my mind,brain and common sense was

suddenly thrown out the window.

I grew impatient as his lips neared mine too slowly and I wanted nothing more but to grab his head and

rest my mouth on his.

Acting a reminder of reality,a picture of him and that girl popped up in my head and I pulled back

quickly.

I stared into his eyes again,and finally realized why they seemed so familiar.

I was taken back by the overwhelmed feeling that took over my body.

“We should be getting back to class,” I said.

He neddedhis features confused” Uhh yeah.” Blades pov I felt stupid.

More than stupid.

I felt hopeless.

Like the more I tried to stay away from her,the closer I got.

l almost groaned out loud,thinking about what if her lips had touched mine? These ‘what if's’ and

‘imagine what's’ have been feeding me too much false hope.

What if we had kissed? Imagine what would have happened then? What if we couldn't stop? Imagine if

I had told her we're mates? The desire to kiss her,even to just touch her was so strong.

I felt as if I were ready to completely lose myself and spill everything to her.

How my parents left me at a young age.

How I was forced to take after my father's footsteps and just how much she made me feel.

Was it strange that I was vibrating with desire? Just her neamess made me tingle in pleasure and hope

with hopelessness.

I wanted nothing more but to embrace her into my soul and be her forever protector.

I imagined waking up to her beautiful face and skipping all my daily meals because her sight and

beauty had fed me enough.

I thought about that night in the forest,when her wolf was calling out tome.

I came out on the balcony after trying to bed a mortal who made me feel nothing but disgust and

shame.

She had seen me with her and the guilt was too strong.

I had gotten rid of the human out of anger and thought of ways to punish myself.

As if forcing myself to stay away from Emerald wasn't punishment enough but the almost kiss was a

reminder of how much I couldn't have her.

Ilet out a sigh as I watched her back disappearing into the hallway.
