Chapter 6: School Starts and She Meets Him

“Emmies? Time to get up! You got your first day of school today!” Emma rolled over and laughed at her mother.

“Emmies? You haven’t called me that since I was, like ten!” She yawned, sat up, and stretched.

“I’m making breakfast so get dressed and come downstairs.” She flicked of the lights and Emma’s eyes snapped shut. She got up and walked over to her closet.

“What to wear. Hmmm. Oh! I know!” She walked over to her jeans section and pulled out a dark wash jean mini skirt. Then she walked over to shirts. She pulled out a tight fitting light blue tee shirt that matched her eyes. Then she picked up a white cami to put over the shirt. “Interesting combination! Cami over a tee shirt. Don’t think I’ve done that before!”

She put on her clothes and slipped into her rainbows. She pulled her hair into a high messy bun. She put her book bag over her shoulder and headed down stairs. She inhaled the sweet smells of muffins and bacon.

“Finally! You take so long to get dressed anymore!” Mrs. Russell said as she placed a plate in front of her daughter. “By the way, your car is here. Your dad had it towed her and it didn’t arrive until 6 this morning.” A smile immediately showed on Emma's face.

Her mother had refused to buy her a car, so Emma started saving her money when she was eight, and barely spent anything since. When she was sixteen, she bought a used Mercedes. She was content with the beat up car.

“Oh, it’s time to go! You don’t want to be late!” Emma nodded with her mouth full of bacon. She grabbed two muffins and headed out the door. Her mother opened up the kitchen window. “Emma! Your keys!” she tossed Emma her keys, which she caught with ease.

“Hey Emma!” Samantha called, getting into Christopher’s car.

“Hey Samantha, Hey Christopher!” Christopher waved from the driver’s seat.

“Need a ride?” Samantha asked, being polite.

“Nope, I got a car, thanks anyways!”

“It’s nice,” Christopher and Samantha said at the same time. Emma smiled and looked at Michael’s house. He was on his porch with Ashlee, staring at her.

“I’m not giving it to you, leave me alone.” She snapped and got into her car.

Michael’s POV

Michael was tired. He had spent half the night awake, thinking of how he can get his phone back. Ashlee kept calling his house phone and his parents were pissed off. He went down stairs to find a plate of pancakes. He just finished eating when Ashlee walked through the door, wearing something similar to what she had the previous day.

“Hey Mikie!” She twirled so he could see her outfit. She had on a light pink tube top, and a dark wash denim mini skirt that was barely there. “Let’s go, we don’t want to be late!” She walked up to him and caught him in a kiss, then dragged him outside to see Emma greeting Samantha and Christopher.

Is that Mercedes her car?! That’s a nice car! Michael’s jaw dropped slightly. She turned to get into her car when she saw him with his arms wrapped around Ashlee’s waist. Damn she’s hot!

“I’m not giving it to you, leave me alone.” She snapped and got into her car. He watched as she pulled away. What was she talking about? Oh, My phone! I’ll get it back!

“That stupid slut. They need to give our cell phones back!” Ashlee pouted as they walked to Michael’s car.

“Wait, how did they get your cell phone?” He asked. He thought they only had his cellular device. (sorry, I lub to call it that)

“Christopher asked to borrow my cell for a second. When I gave it to him, he put it in his pocket. I didn’t think anything of it at the time.” Michael shook his head at his dim girlfriend. They drove off the school in silence.

End of Michael's POV

Emma found a parking spot not far from the entrance to the school. She was surprised by how close their school was. She had no idea how to get to the school, so she followed Samantha and Christopher. She got out and walked over to Samantha, who was waiting for her while Christopher went and got their schedule cards.

“Hey guys, we all have most of our lasses together!” he gave the card to them.

Their Schedule:

1st period
Christopher: World History (Ms. Styers)
Samantha: World History (Ms. Styers)

4th Period

Emma Algebra II (Mr. Haywood)

(NOTE: Yes, there are only four classes. This is called a “Block” schedule. Each class is an hour and thirty minutes. My school is like this. Personally, I like it!)

End Schedule

“Cool! So me and Christopher are in all of the same classes! And I’m in all but one of yours, Samantha!” But Samantha was a little busy kissing her boyfriend. Emma shook her head and chuckled. “We’re in public guys, try waiting until we get to class.” The bell rang and everyone scurried off to their first block class. Including Emma, Samantha, and Christopher.

They somehow found their class and took a seat. Emma watched as students entered. She never expected to see the one person she had hoped to not have in ANY of her classes. She watched as Michael walked through the door and sat down behind her, not noticing her.
