It's Bittersweet (Mikey Murphy)

Chapter 10

Emily's POV

throughout the week we either met at lunch or at Mikey's house to finish filming and when Friday came we had one scene left to film. it was the scene where me and Mikey kiss. its not like a major kiss but like a small quick peck . i know its not a big deal but my stomach has been doing flips all day just thinking about it. i walk into 7th period and took my seat next to Mikey. "hey." he smiled when i sat down.

"hey." i responded.

"so i was thinking that maybe we go to the park to film the last scene." he said and i nodded remembering when we hung out there. the bell rang signalling the beginning of class and we were able to discuss the project a little bit before Mr. Crenshaw started the lesson. at the end of class we all walked into the hallway.

"hey you guys go one ahead i will meet you guys at the park later." i said and they nodded exiting the school while i went to go get a book from my locker. after i grabbed what i needed i turned to walk down the hallway when some girl with blond hair walked in front of me.

"you must be the new girl." she said with a slightly high voice. i nodded a little and she rolled her eyes. "I've noticed you have been hanging out with Mikey a lot since you have been here." she added

"um yea and is that a problem?" i asked confused to why she would confront me for it.

"well now that you asked it is." she said and i was taken back by her response who does this chick think she is. "i should let you know that me and Mikey have a thing between us and i don't want you getting in the way of that."

"oh I'm sorry i didn't know i needed ignorant people telling me who i can and can not hang out with." i sassed her.

"excuse me" she said annoyed.

"you are excused." i replied and she just stood there as i walked past down the hallway. that kind of got me mad. when i got home Mrs. Logan was in the kitchen

"Emily is that you?" she said. i walked into the kitchen and sat at the counter. "whats wrong?" she said noticing the annoyed look on my face. i just shook my head. "it will make you feel better if you talk about it." i looked up at her and took a deep breath before speaking.

i explained to her the situation with me and blonde after school. "it just go me really annoyed" i replied setting my head down on the counter. Mrs. Logan walked over to me and rubbed my back.

"why is that?" she asked.

"because..." i said lifting my head wondering why i got so mad. "because... i think i actually like Mikey." i said "and the fact that she told me that they had a thing for each other kind of hurt." did i really admit it. do i like Mikey?

"well do you know if its true?" she asked and i shrugged. "then i suggest that you go to Mikey and ask him. because hearing how that girl confronted you sounds like she made it up to get you out of the way." i looked at my hands that were placed in my lap. i got off the stool i was sitting on and told Mrs. Logan i was going to the park. "wait you will need this." she said and pulled an iPhone 5 out of her back packet.

"i cant take this." i said as she handed it to me.

"i was supposed to give it to you at dinner when David was home but seeing that you are going out now it might be important." she responded and i gave her a hug. it kind of caught her off guard as she hugged back a little late. she told me to be home before 9 and i was out the door on my way to the park.

i got there and saw Mikey sitting on the swing on his phone with his back towards me. i jogged up to him and pushed the swing scaring him in the process. he smiled when he saw me. i took the swing next to him and kicked at the ground.

"um Jason had a doctors appointment and Luke wasn't feeling well so we postponed for Sunday is that ok?" he asked after a moment of silence.

"yea that's fine." i said looking at the ground. "quick question." i said and he looked over at me. " this girl had came up to me and said that i shouldn't hang out with you," his face got an annoyed look. i take it he knows who i am talking about. i told him everything she told me and how she said it and how it got me upset. "she said that you and her have a thing for each other... is that true?" i asked and he pushed his hair back.

"did she have blond hair?" he asked and i nodded. "that's Stacy, don't listen to what she has to say she is just jealous." he said turning his swing to face me. i did the same.

"do you like her?" i asked curiously. he shook his head.

"no but she likes me." he responded. we sat there in silence for a few moments. "just wondering why did that little encounter get you so mad?" he asked and i looked down.

"because... um... people like that are annoying...and..." i trailed on trying to think of something to say to hide the real reason.

"Really because it doesn't seem like it," he said trying to look me in the eyes "is there something bothering you?" I looked up and pursed my lips. Should i tell him? I feel like if i don't tell him now something will ruin the next chance i get.

"Mikey... i... i dint know if you would feel the same but... you know what never mind." i said standing up getting ready to walk away when he grabbed my hand pulling me closer to him causing me to sit on his lap on the swing. We were looking into each others eyes and everything felt like a cliche movie. He leaned i and i did as well and soon we were kissing. I felt sparks. Butterflies in my stomach. This couldn't get any better. We pulled apart seconds later and i smiled

"I never thought I'd tell you in this situation but i like you Emily... i really like you." he said and i smiled

"I like you to Mikey" i smiled. I stood up so i wasn't sitting on his lap anymore and he stood up as well.

"Can i take you to lunch tomorrow?" He asked awkwardly and i nodded.

"As a date or..." i trailed off.

"Whatever you feel comfortable with." he responded and i smiled giving him a hug. This couldn't get any better.
