CHAPTER 4

|||EMILY'S POV|||

Again, my alarm goes off. Again, I forget to turn the brightness down. Again, I'm fat, ugly, and all that shit. I go downstairs and open the cabinet to get my cereal... But there were no more Cocoa Pebbles. Shit. Of coarse, no more good things for Emily. My parents must've left for work early. I decided to make waffles instead. After I finished, I went up stairs. The best part is, it's 97 degrees out today... And I need to cover up my cuts. I wore white shorts, my thinnest long sleeve shirt, and red Vans. I honestly couldn't care less about what I was wearing today. It's Wednesday, October 19 and it's the third day of school for the Griers and that "Mathew" kid. This week is also my time of the month. YAYYY. I put my hair in a ponytail and walked out the door. Across the street, I could see Nash.

"Hey!" He waves.

"Hi!" I gave him a fake smile. I wasn't in the mood to be happy. He runs across the street. Great! A Grier.

"So... How are you?" He awkwardly asks.

"Um... Good? Like, you need to mind your own business okay? God!" I walked away. When I looked back I think I could see a tear... I kept walking and when I looked back again, he was gone.

It is third period and Hayes and Cammy are in my classes for the rest of the day. I don't like her. A lot of people don't. She's the school bitch. She thinks she's so much batter than everyone, when she's actually not. Hayes is too good for her. How does he not see her evil ways. I mean I know he's only been here for 3 days but he should've noticed something. It hurts me.

~

Lunch. At this time yesterday, I was heart broken. He is sitting with Cammy. Obviously. His arm is around her shoulder. I can feel a tear. I quickly wipe it away before Hayes sees it. I was walking around to see where I should sit. I saw Nash. I thought about this morning. I feel terrible. I walk over to his table. He's sitting by himself. Why? I sit next to him without saying a word. It was a quite lunch. Neither Hayes or Nash talked to me. I think I messed things up.

"Do you wanna come over later?" I say before lunch ended. Yes, yes, I know I yelled at him this morning but I feel really bad and since he was sitting alone, I thought that maybe he could need a friend.

"Sure." He smiles and blushes. It's cute. Wait Emily, you're 14 and he's 17. But... He's really cute and sweet and ugh. Great job Emily. You like 2 guys... And they're brothers.

|||NASH'S POV|||

"Do you wanna come over later?" Emily asks me. Oh my god! She wants to hang out with me.

"Sure." I say. I was trying to act chill. I smiled and blushed... I don't think I look chill now.

~

Me and Em are walking. It's kind of awkward. I don't know why she invited me over... Or why she was so mean this morning. I'll forgive her. As we're getting closer to her house, I see Hayes. He's with Cammy. I swear she's changing him. He's yelling more and giving an attitude. I haven't heard him laugh for a while. Every Time I tell a joke, he just calls me stupid and leaves the room. Hayes sees me. I quickly look away. We reach Emily's house and she opens the door. We drop our backpacks and go to the kitchen.

"So..." She says. "I want to say sorry about this morning. I wasn't being myself. I'm really sorry." It looks like she's tearing up. Next thing I know, she hugs me. I want to hug back, but her arms are over mine. I like her apology hugs.

"It's okay." I say as I smile at her.

Now that that was settled, we went to her living room and were looking for a movie to watch.

"Let's watch the conjuring!" I suggest.

"I don't know... That movie's kinda scary." She says.

"It's okay, I'll protect you." I said. We looked each other in the eyes and smiled. She pressed play and got comfortable on my arm. She squeezed it as tight as she could out of fright. It was cute how weak she was.

~

The movie ended and it was about 5:00 pm. I had to go home so I gave her a hug and we said our goodbyes. I'm finally home and Cammy is there. She and Hayes are having a make-out session on the couch. They didn't hear me come in so I slammed the door shut to get them to stop kissing. They both jump a little.

"God Nash, you scared us!" Hayes says annoyed.

"Oops." I say with a straight face, not caring.

Cammy leaves and Hayes goes up to his room. He never comes downstairs anymore. Oh shoot! I didn't ask Emily for her number. I'll just ask tomorrow.

~

I did my homework and went to bed. As I was laying down, I couldn't help but think about Emily. Her beautiful eyes. Her smile. She's perfect. I should ask her out soon. Nahhh. We barely talk and she likes Hayes anyways. I guess I'm stuck in the friend zone. I turn off the light. I stare at the ceiling and think, 'I can't wait to see Emily tomorrow'.
