Emily came with Minho to practice. And as she promised, she wore his big cozy hoodie, her hair pulled up into a messy bun at the top of her head. They pulled into the parking lot and Emily groaned. Minho glanced at her.
"Wanna go home? I can get a ride home from someone else."
"No. I came to watch you. I hate that I'm so scared of her. I can knock someone out in the ring, but she looks at me and I'm right back to the 12 year old girl cowering in the corner as Ava screams and smashes things around me while she laughs."
"Oh Emily...that's awful." His eyes looked pained. He reached a hand out cupping her cheek, she closed her eyes for a second, leaning into his warmth.
"Those over ratted cheerleaders are practicing on the other field, I'll be fine." She said with more confidence then she felt.
"I'll leave the keys with you, if you gotta go that's fine."
"I don't deserve you."
"No! Don't say that!" He said sharply. "No negative talk! You deserve everything and more!"
Emily smiled again at him, "Come on Thunder Cat, I got some heckling to do. If I get bored...I'll do some laps." She teased.
He chuckled and they hopped out of the truck, and walked to the field hand in hand. He kissed her good bye and plunked down on the grass, wrapping her hands around her coffee. She was just settling down, with her textbook when her phone buzzed.
Sonya:
Girl. Where you at?
Football field. I promised I'd heckle Min. Why?
Oh fun! I'm coming to you. I'll bug Gally. :)
You bringing Chucky and Noodles?
Yeah. Be there in 10. Need a coffee?
Nah, Min and I stopped for one before coming.
Emily, Sonya and Newt hung out, watching the practice, taking turns throwing a stick for Chuck. She hadn't hung out with Newt and Sonya in a long time.
"So, Noodles...How's it going with Thomas?"
Newt's face went slightly pink, but a small smile appeared. His eyes were watching Thomas run down the field and catching the ball.
"Good. Really good."
"Uhh huh...anything else?" Emily teased.
"What do you bloody want to know?"
Emily threw her hands up, and rolled her eyes. "I get juicer information from Min, who gets it from your boy."
"Excuse me?" Newt blanched.
Sonya and Emily both rolled on the ground in giggles. Newt went white to pink and then back to pink. Every time Sonya or Emily made eye contact they burst into a new fit of giggles. Newt got more disgruntled the longer the girls giggled.
"Your Tommy boy likes to talk. Know how many times he calls Min and he turns it to speaker phone and we both talk to him about you?" Emily raised an eyebrow.
"Oh shuck." He scrambled to his feet, "Nope. This isn't happening." He stomped away.
Sonya raised an eyebrow at her. Emily shook her head.
