When i began my first year of junior high i was nervous especially knowing that my brother won't be in the same school with me anymore. He began his first year as a high school freshman. Jay and I are about 4 years apart. My youngest brother Asher who was 6 at the same was In 1st grade. Asher and i are about 5 years apart. Even though i was going to be alone without them i was able to see Emerson without jay getting in the way.

Sadly this time I didn't have Emerson in any Of My classes. I would see him mostly around campus skipping class with his friends or taking to random girls. At the end of the day he would stay after school for soccer practice. That's when he would speak to me, he would began teasing me, cover my eyes in a playful way, smiling and staring at me for some reason.

Honestly i still liked him especially since he changed the way he dressed, he had a hohawk hair style, he dressed really preppy. I noticed that a lot of girls were following him around all the time, i honestly wasn't bothered since we were just friends. Until on day i was in Spanish class and he walked in with a girl who was in the same class as me. He walked her to class and kissed her right in front of my classmates and i. I looked at them in shocked, i felt like my heart just stopped beating, I couldn't believe my eyes what I just witnessed.

After he left and class began i was to distracted to even be listening to my teacher talk.i felt hurt especially since I've liked him a lot. Days passed by and each Day i would see them walk together holding hands, kissing. I learned to just accept it and mind my own business. Months passed by and i began to notice him becoming really flirty and playful with me. He would bump into me on purpose, cover my eyes, stare at me, tease me. It happened almost everyday especially at home. I felt confused since he did have a girlfriend but he was flirting with me outside of school.

After a while things got a bit more confusing. Every time i would be doing my homework late at night in the dinning room, he would come out from my brothers room and he would stand next to our fake indoor tree just staring at me until one of the guys came out and had to push him to keep him moving. I wasn't paying attention at the moment since I was trying to finish my homework but I did felt him stare deeply into me.

As days continue to pass by he became touchy with me, he would accidentally hit his elbow with mine and would smirk at me afterwards, or else it would be his shoulder bumping into me. He would try anything to touch me. He kept staring at me without saying anything to me. Funny thing was that he knew I really liked him. So did my brother and his friends.

I remember after school I had to pick up Asher from school, we would still stay at my grandmothers house after school. As i was about to go get my brother from his classroom. I saw Asher with Emerson talking. I looked at them confused. I walked to them and looked at Emerson. "Did you picked up Asher from his classroom" i asked. Emerson smiles and looks at me. No, I saw him by himself and I didn't wanted him to be alone so I told him that I'll stay with him until you arrive. Says Emerson. I smiled and thank him. I then grab my brothers hand waving bye to Emerson and walked back to my grandmothers house. Every time i would go to pick up Asher, Emerson was there waiting for me to go get Asher.

As time went by, Emerson girlfriend and I became good friends. I felt guilty about what was happening at home with Emerson when she wasn't around. I was afraid to tell her the truth so I kept it to myself. Knowing the fact that Emerson was flirting with me behind her back it made me feel like a bad friend. But I couldn't help my feelings towards Emerson. Every time i was with Emerson I would feel a connection between the two of us. I felt like he was the one for me.

After I was done with my last year of junior high, I remember it was the last week of may. My parents have decided to move in into a brand new house right beside our old house. My brothers and I were really excited to know we were moving to a more bigger and nicer house. As we were in the process of moving, Emerson and the boys would come over to help us move furniture in and clean. The boys even helped my father level up our backyard since it was really unleveled. As we were done moving in, my parents bought all of us pizza and we all ate together. As we were eating Emerson looked at me and smiled . I smiled back and continued eating. My mother noticed us staring at each other but she never said anything.
