Gracefield Academy [Noremma fanfic]

[Chapter 2] The walk home

Creative writing class was finally over, Norman was sitting next to Emma and an idea popped into his head. "Why don't I offer to walk home with Emma? That'd give us more time to catch up and we could even--"

Emma: Norman? Hello~ Earth to Norman. *Emma waved her hand in front of Norman's face.*

Norman: Gah! Sorry Emma, I guess I blanked out there hehe...

Emma: Silly goose. I was wondering, Did you perhaps bring an umbrella?

Norman: Yeah...Why?

Emma pointed out the window and it was pouring rain outside.

Emma: I didn't bring one, plus. Ray already said he left with Anna. What a douche...

Norman: Well, I have an umbrella we could share, perhaps you and I could walk home together?

Emma: Oh the usual...Dad (Lucas) is always joyful and upbeat while Father (Yugo) is all...grumpy -3-

Norman: Haha, I see that your family hasn't changed quite a bit, How's Phil?

Emma pulled up a picture of Phil dressed up like Emma and said, "He's doing great hahaha. How's Sherry?"

Norman: Oh! Well she's doing great, babysitting her is pretty fun and we even got to collect some seashells over the summer. He started grabbing his backpack while holding the umbrella and Emma slowly but surely grabbed it. "Thanks," added on Norman. 

Emma was curious and moved in closer to take a look, "Ta da."

Norman grabbed a shell that looked similar to this:
