Stuck In High School with One Direction

Chapter Ten

"Emma is staring again." Maddie whispers to me, pretending to fix her hair in the mirror of her locker.

"That's the third time today, what does she want?" I groan, leaning against the wall. 

"Uh oh," 

"What?" I ask, and almost immediately i felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and I was face to face with Emma and her friends.

"Hello! Riley, is it?" She smiles, holding out her hand.

"A handshake? Are those still a thing?" Maddie frowns, staring at her hand.

"Hi, you are?" I smile back at her, ignoring her hand.

"You know who I am. Everybody knows who I am." She pulls her hand away.

"Are we in a cheesy coming of age movie?" Maddie mumbles, closing her locker.

"I see you've been hanging out with Louis and his friends." Emma tilts her head, staring me up and down.

"Yeahhh..." I trail off, unsure of what to say.

"I suggest you back off."

"Definitely a cheesy teen movie," Maddie adjusts her bag. "Nobody talks like that."

Emma ignores her, still staring at me.

"I don't get it," I smile awkwardly. "Back off?"

"Back. Off." She steps closer to me. "Liam is mine and getting closer to the boys is my ticket to him. You girls will just be in the way."

"There's no way these words are actually coming out of her mouth." Maddie giggles.

"Can it, weirdo." 

"Can it?" Maddie bursts out laughing. "Come on Riley," She grabs my arm, leading me away'

"I warned you." Emma calls after us.

"What is wrong with her?" Maddie laughs. We make our way to the cafeteria.

"You guys won't believe what just happened." I sit down, dropping my bag on the table. 

"Emma old us to back off from the boys." 

"No way," Diana gasps. "That's insane, what does she think this is? Some teenage fan fiction?"

"I went for a cheesy teen movie, but that works too."

"She couldn't of been serious, right?" Olivia pipes up.

"Of course not, she was probably kidding."

"She said Liam is hers." I laugh, the girls join me.

"I'm who's?" Liam drags a chair and sits next to Georgia. "IF it's one of you lovely ladies I do not mind."

"Emma's." Georgia laughs, nudging Liam. He looks confused.

"Emma's?" Louis questions, sitting on my lap.

"Hey! You're like a million pounds!" I shout, trying to push him off of me.

"Hold on, we're dealing with something here." Louis rolls his eyes, holding my arms down. "Liam is Emma's?"

"As in Emma Locke?" Zayn puts his hand on Liam's shoulder.

"As in Stalker Emma?" Harry adds. 

"Stalker Emma?" Diana furrows her eyebrows. 

"Emma used to stalk Liam." Niall explains. "She'd follow him in hallways and create fake accounts because he kept blocking her." 

"One week she would show up wherever I was outside of school."
