NADIA
"Emery!"I call out.

Knox says something that causes her to glare at him before walking over.

"Don't tell me my brother is bothering you again"."I'm fine"she says flatly.

"It's good to see you again, Emerson"Hunter says.

Emerson clenches her teeth and tilts her head."I wish I could say the same for you Hunter".

"Woah what's with all the hostility?"I ask.

Emerson look at me like I'm crazy."You're joking right?Are you completely forgetting all the times that she has made my life hell".

"I wouldn't say-"."-Shut the fuck up"Emerson says to her.

Hunter chuckles and stands up."I'll let you girls sort this out".

She kisses my forehead and I smile watching her leave.I jet my head to Emerson and frown.

"You know that wasn't nice".

"Does it look like a give a shit about being nice to her?".

"It's in the past,Emery.I honestly think-".

"I don't care what you think"She says cutting me off.

My eyes wide and I step forward with a forced smile on my face."Let's take this outside shall we?".

She doesn't even respond as I grab her wrist and pull her outside to the back of the house.

"Now.Maybe this walk here has given you the mind to check yourself".

Emerson laughs and says "I can't believe you.Honestly.I mean I always keep vouching for you.When both of my moms said you weren't shit.I thought-".

"-What?Mrs.Moreau doesn't like me?".

Emerson presses her lips together and says "You know what?Maybe we need time apart".

"Oh fucking please.If you actually think I'm letting you go,you don't know me at all".

"Here we go sprouting that Carrington bullshit".I step forward and press her body against the wall.

"Me being a Carrington has nothing to do with it.It is my personality that makes it extremely clear that time apart would do nothing for me,Moreau".

Her eyes widen as she slowly looks up at me."So I'm giving you a chance to give her a chance.She isn't as bad as you think she is.Shes grown up in the months".

"I highly doubt that"."There's nothing wrong with trying,Emery".

Emersons green eyes sparkle before pushing me back.I frown at the act as she sighs.

"I don't even want to be caught dead around her and you.So I will excuse myself".

I grab her hand pulling her back."You just got the party and you want to leave".

"I never wanted to go in the first place".

"So why are you here?".
"Because you told me to"

Something about that causes me to smirk.Just when I'm about to open my mouth someone calls Emery's name.

I frown as Camila rushes over."I was looking for you!That hottie Sadie is here".

"Right let's go".

I watch as she walks past me and I clench my fist.

That bitch Sadie.

All freshman year that's all everyone talks about ,Sadie Young genius painter.Thats all Emery talked about.

It pissed me off.

"There you are".

I look up to see Knox staring at me."What did you say to Emery".

"Something she needs to understand when it comes to you".

"And what is that?"I snap.

"Shes better off looking from a distance than getting closer".

I narrow my eyes as he smiles at me.Knox used to be a sunshine boy.Mama's little angel.

But something happened his freshman year in college.He came back a different person.

Mom tells me that it's what college does to you.But I came back freshman year the same as I always been.

Which lead me to believe that
something happened to him.Knox was never expressive of his feelings.

Maybe not to me because I wasn't his favorite sister after all.It was Astrid.

He could talk to her for hours while it felt like he could barely stand me.Still we went to the same college and he still had another year here with me.

He would have to get used to it.I smile and say "I would love if you minded your business".

"Why?Your business is far more interesting".

He leans forward causing me to push him away."Tell me.Are you simply fucking with that soccer bitch to piss Emerson off?".

"I'm with that so called soccer bitch because I like her.Emerson has nothing to do with it".

"Clearly she does if you are messing with that bitch knowing everything she put Emerson through".

I glare at him and say "Everyone deserves a second chance".

"Isn't Mason on her 20th?You know..cause that's how many times she's fucked over Emerson??"he says jokily.

"Please go fuck off.Don't you have a teacher assistant to be fucking?"I state.

He narrows his eyes and I smirk."Oh yeaaa big bro.No one might not know but I damn sure do.I wonder if either of our moms would know that their golden child is fucking with a girl 10 years older".

He steps forward and I watch his eyes drop to an emotionless glaze.

Thats the Knox I know.The one who is so cold that it's like second nature to him.

"Watch your mouth,baby sister.There's so much mom doesn't know about you".

Thats where we have come to.A relationship of hiding each other secrets.

Because here at Callister they are bound to come out to the light.And when a Carrington or Hassan is involved?It's even more light.

He looks down at his watch and tilts his head."It is too bad"."What are you talking about"I say coldly.

"Man if Emerson was straight I'd be all in that.Show her what a real Hassan can do".

"Like I'd ever let you lay a fucking finger on her".

Knox chuckles softly and says "Hm.Those are some strong feelings there Naya.Sounds like you-".

"-Need to mind your fucking business.It was nice seeing you but I would be lying".

He shakes his head and calls out to me."Good luck with your unresolved feelings.I'll be all in your business with some gossip!".

I flip him off as he walks back to the party.

Unresolved feelings my ass.
I don't have unresolved feelings for Emerson.

She's my bestfriend so naturally I want what's best for her.And that hippie bitch is not what's good for her..

"Uh there you are! I was looking everywhere for you!"Sarai calls out.

I smile and turn around."Here I am".

"What are you doing in the back of the party like this.Were you and Hunter hooking up?".

"God no.I was talking to Knox".She nods and links her arm with mine

I hated when she did this.
Emerson was the only one who could do this with me.

"The night is still young and you are nowhere near being drunk.Lets get some alcohol in your system".

"Is that really a good idea?"I ask.."Well college is all about making questionable decisions".
