What Life Could Be. . .

Chapter one

Dereks p.o.v:
  I watch sadly as Emma walks away down the hall. What? I can watch! Oh, I get it, you think she's one of those frilly cheerleaders. Hahahaha! No.

  Emma Ralon definitely isn't one of those. She's so different from them. She dresses in sweatshirts and jeans, she doesn't style her hair, and she doesn't act like them. She's violent, and dangerous. I know from experience. She's quiet, unless you cross the line. Don't be fooled by her silence and nervous looks, she can and will hurt you if she has too.

  "Bro, you okay?," says a voice next to me. I look over to see my best friend, Darren, next to me. I look away from him just in time to see Emmas J's disappear around the corner. I sigh. Darren watches me, then scoffs. "Dude? You're still not over her?! This is crap dude! You have a girlfriend!"

I turn and look at him. "Yeah, and I hate her! Ashley's just a naggy brat! 'Get me these shoes! Ooh! The new makeup's in!' Oh my god. She annoys the hell out of me!" Darren shakes his head at me, then walks away.

  "When you realize who your real friends are now," Darren calls over his shoulder, "let me know." I glare at him, then look over at the corner where Emma's disappeared. If only I could change the past! If only I could change our past.

               If only.
