Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

Emily's POV
It's been 2 days since Sophie left and I don't know what I'm going to do now without her. I sigh as I went to my locker to open it and found a picture of me and Sophie right away. Tears welled up in my eyes and I felt someone scared me.

???: boo!
Emily: *squeals* gosh I hate you both! *wipes tear*

It was Lev and Jentzen.

Lev: we got her *high five Jentzen*
Jentzen: *notice her tears* we didn't mean to make you cry Emily
Emily: no you guys didn't make me cry. It's *points to picture of her and Sophie on her locker*
Lev: oh yeah Sophie, she left this weekend huh
Emily: yeah she moved away and is never coming back
Jentzen: all because of the stalker
Emily: her mom job got transferred
Jentzen: and she didn't tell me
Lev: sorry dude, I know how much you liked her
Emily: what? How come you never told her!
Jentzen: cause she told me her mom won't allow her to have a boyfriend
Emily: my brothers doesn't like Lev but I still like him anyways
Lev: what?
Emily: did I say that out loud?
Jentzen: yeah... sorry
Lev: you like me?
Emily: *smiles* yeah... I do, but it can't happen because my family all agree that I'm too young to be dating. My sister says that middle school shouldn't be in a relationship they should just focus on being in school
Lev: I mean we don't have to go out but we can go study together
Emily: what does that mean?
Lev: it basically like we are dating except we are just crushing on each other. We can only hang out together when we are in groups or at a social event
Emily: I like that, and my family doesn't have to make it a big deal because we just like each other but aren't boyfriend and girlfriend
Lev: exactly
Jentzen: I don't see why not
Emily: yay! I can't wait to tell- I have nobody to talk too...
Jentzen: you can talk to me?
Emily: about Lev? Then you're just going to tell him, you two are best friends
Jentzen: I can keep a secret, I haven't told anybody that Lev likes you back
Lev: you just did!
Jentzen: ops, your right you probably should find a new girlfriend to talk too
Emily: uh huh

At Lunch.

Emily jusf got done finishing her lunch and was going to sit with the boys, Jenna, the other squad members and she sees a girl sitting by herself.

Emily: *comes to her* hi my name is Emily
???: Symonne
Emily: do you want to sit with me and my friends?
Symonne: sure, thanks *gets up and follows Emily*
Emily: guys this is Symonne she's going to be sitting with us
Others: hi Symonne
Jenna: are you new here, we never seen you before
Symonne: yeah I just moved to town recently with my two moms, we actually live across the street from a youtuber. Well they use to do youtube now their doing podcast... um... the Dolan Twins
Lev: what a coincidence, Emily brother's are the Dolan Twins
Symonne: I didn't know the boys have a younger sister
Emily: yeah a lot of people don't, I'm their half sister, we all have the same dad
Symonne: I heard about your dad, I'm sorry
Emily: thanks, I've been shield from the public eye. The boys wants me to have a normal life as much as possible. But how can I when I live in California
Symonne: must be hard, what happened to your mom?
Emily: I could really give a rats ass about my mom, she doesn't want to see me, I don't want to see her
Symonne: sorry for asking so many questions
Emily: it's cool, not many people know me so I don't blame you
Symonne: one last question, why do you live with the boys and not your mom
Emily: because the woman who "raised me" didn't want anything to do with me anymore so she handed me over to my brothers
Symonne: wow the nerve of that women.
Emily: it's okay Ive been ditched by a lot of people most of my life. I don't need a mom anyways. You're lucky you got two that cares for you
Symonne: thanks
Emily: now it's my turn to ask you a question
Symonne: alright lay it on me

Emily asked some questions about Symonne some were personal about her moms' some where wanting to know a little bit about her.

When Symonne and Emily made it to her house they walked in to find the boys arguing doing push up.

Ethan: I could do the most push up Gray
Grayson: no I can!
Emily: uh... boys... we have company

Both boys looked up.

Grayson: in a minute honey, you're going down E!
Ethan: no, you're going down!
Emily: how about this *push them both to the ground*
Grayson/Ethan: Emily!
Emily: sorry boys but you two were being competitive with each other in front of company

Both the boys got up and Grayson said.

Grayson: hi sorry about that, I'm Gray
Symonne: yeah I know who you guys are! I use to watch you guys all the time on youtube. I'm actually your new neighbor
Ethan: oh, you must be the Harrison. We were going to come say hi today when Emily came home but I guest she beat us too it
Emily: she goes to my school, I invited her to our table because she was sitting alone
Grayson: well that was very nice of you sweetheart. You girls want a snack
Emily: avocado toast please. The boys only eat vegan food so we only eat vegan food. I can eat whatever I want but I choose to live their life style too
Symonne: that's nice, and no thank you, I wouldn't mind just water tho
Grayson: of course *leaves*
Ethan: I see you met a new friend, see Emily you can make friends without Sophie
Symonne: who's Sophie?
Ethan: our old stalker neighbor who became best friend with my sister
Emily: it's a long story. Well Symonne is a fan of you guys but you don't have to worry about the stalking
Ethan: better not, we don't want anymore stalker friends Emily
Emily: yes sir, Symonne and I are going to hang out in my room, is that okay?
Grayson: sure kid

Emily and Symonne goes to Emily's room and Symonne said when she stepped in.

Symonne: this is your room!
Emily: yup, Ethan and Gray surprised me with it *turns on her lights*
Symonne: woah the swing is so unique!
Emily: Grayson built that
Symonne: so I heard, Grayson is a construction worker
Emily: yeah he loves building things. I bet if he wasn't a youtuber or doing podcast he would be doing this for a living
Symonne: I bet, I saw the amazing backyard he did for his mom
Emily: yeah Gray is a genius always likes to amaze people with his talent
Symonne: and Ethan?
Emily: huh, I never actually noticed what Ethan would be doing if he didn't start youtube
Symonne: what about you, what would you be doing if your brothers weren't famous
Emily: if my brothers weren't famous maybe I would still be living at home with my "so called mother" who apparently is my step mother. All my life my dad lied to me about who my mother was-
Symonne: yeah but we already know that but I mean what do you want to do
Emily: I mean I guess I never really thought of it. My dad and I only had one thing we like to do together and that was baseball, he used to he a coach at my school
Symonne: hmm... maybe you would have been an athlete, have you ever thought about trying out for the soft ball team
Emily: I haven't thought about baseball in a long time since dad died. I don't even know if I still got it
Symonne: ask your brothers to take you to a batting range
Emily: I'll think about it

The two of them smiled each other knowing they're going to be best friend maybe even more than that.
