••At school the next week••
| Emily's POV |

After Friday... Things have settled different. Theo And I decided to go on another date this Friday. When I walked into school, everyone b was whispering about a new girl. I walked into class and sat down by Theo. God, everyone is just so... Gossipy today... I laid my head down my desk. Theo looked at me. "Are you alright, Em? You look like you had a rough night." He said. "Yeah, because you kept texting me." I said and laughed slightly. He chuckled too.

"

That's my fault. Did you hear though? There's a new girl. Her names like Jackie or something." I said, obviously not really caring. Everyone looked up when the new girl walks in wearing a plastered smile for audience. It's a fake smile, I've been in too many theater classes to know that's not really her smile. I scoffed and looked back at Emily. "Em? If it makes you feel better we can go hang at mine after practice and your reading club." I offered.

"Hm?.. Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. Just, noticing how her blue eyes don't clash with her brunette hair... Not even trying to admit she's pretty." I sigh, looking at him. Then glance back at her. "I don't know what it is... I just feel so... Strange—" When I glanced at her, I paused. The new girl, Jenny... Her name was just said, Jenny winked at Theo. It's fine, it's fine! Your overreacting.. Maybe she was winking at a different person. Yeah... Yeah! Maybe. I thought for a moment before she had to sit... In front of him.  Okay... Okay, no bother. It's fine, as long as she— "Hey there." Jenny cut my thoughts short. "As you heard I'm Jenny. And... You are?" She said. Theo started, "Well I'm Theo and this is—" "No, no. Just yours. Theo... Handsome name. Matches the face." She giggled and sent me a look. What the hell? Interrupt him will ya. Don't know manners? I shook my head and looked away. I started talking to Conni, my best friend.
