iLOVE YOU (You Series #2)

Chapter 65

"Shoot me in head"

Maybe it sounded awkward but it was just exactly how it sounded. Emma's features froze as she tried to swallow everything she had heard from me. I would have frozen too if I were her.

Not everyone would believe it after hearing what happened between Bryce and I. Everything he said to me without hesitation and so much courage; I just felt that was selfish of him.

But I somehow felt relieved after realizing that he didn't hate me after all. Everything he had been doing was just a facade. It seemed crazy that he made me go through all of that just to get my attention. Who does that?

"Keep your voice down, Emma" I cautioned. We were in the middle of the school hallway and I didn't want anyone poking their nose into our conversation.

"Sorry! I'm sorry" She said in a very low tone this time but with excitement. I wondered what was exciting about what I said.

I thought by now she would have been cussing the devil that made my life miserable but no, she was excited that he did. Maybe she wasn't excited about that but it sure seemed like it.

"So what happened next?" Emma asked curiously as she made a pause, smiling at me. She was probably expecting me to say we kissed and we lived happily ever after.

I rolled my eyes. "Nothing happened" I began to walk away and she followed me.

"I meant 'what did you say afterwards?" She questioned again.

"I told him that I wanted to go home..." I shrugged.

Emma raised her brow. "Really? Do you always have to tell him that?"

"Yes, what do you expect? I should have hugged him and run away with him to Disneyland?" I questioned.

"Yeah! Well...maybe" she replied and I frowned at her. I always thought only Kim was full with crazy ideas, I never knew Emma was a delusional clown.

"You're crazy"

"I'm just saying you could have done better"

"What do you actually mean by 'DONE BETTER'?" I raised my brow at her. "...you mean throwing my arms around his shoulder and kissing him like it was my last day on earth...?"

Emma chuckled. "Of course"

"You're really not helping. One more word from you, and I'll send you to space"

Emma rolled her eyes. "Don't blame me for wanting the Brylex ship to sail so bad" she whispered. I couldn't believe she had a ship name already and it sounded annoying.

"Brylex?" I scoffed. "It sounds tacky" I said before stepping into the classroom. I scanned the whole of the classroom and spotted where I and Emma would be sitting.

I walked to one of the seats and immediately dropped my backpack on the table before sitting down. I looked to the seat beside me and my whole body froze when I saw the boy in a red jacket smiling at me.

I could suddenly feel a tightness in my chest. I could hear the sound of my heart beating fast like  the persistent waves against the crumbing cliffs.

Why was he sitting there? Emma was supposed to be sitting next to me. My eyes began to search for Emma, and when I looked behind me, I saw her taking her seat at the back of the class.

I gave her a questioning look and all she did was blow me a kiss and then winked right after. What the heck was that for? Why was she not seated beside me. Why Bryce all of a sudden?

Without thinking or hesitation, I quickly grabbed my backpack and jumped off my seat. Before I could take a step to go find another seat, I felt a hand grab me by the wrist and when I traced the hand up with my eyes, I realized it was Bryce's.
