Hating Emilia

07

-Emilia Diaz-

I'm excited, my birthday is soon, which means I'll get my septum piercing soon.

I'm on call with Silas again since he had free time and because I need help with some history homework.

I'm okay at history, I wouldn't say it's my strongest subject- but yeah.

"How's your other classes going?" Silas asked me and I shrug "good, my English teacher asked me if I wanna move seats?" I said and he nods slowly

"Who's your teacher?" He asked while helping Sophia cook "Mr Delaney, I actually have to do work for his class." I say now realizing that.

"You have Delaney?" My brother asked and I nodded slowly "and mom and dad haven't taken you out of his class?" I shake my head no

"Why would they?"

"He's a fucking creep, Em."

Oh- I look back at Silas and I don't know what to say, Sophia even is frozen "how- how do you know?" I asked him

"One you can see it with the way he looks at girls, two I know someone he tried getting with." He says and I shift uncomfortably

I don't know what to say. I guess that kinda explains why Ethan doesn't like him? Or does Ethan just not like him because of that whole fight-

I get pulled away from my thoughts hearing my name being called "Emilia?" I stare at Silas now and how both him and Sophia are looking at me worriedly

"Yeah?" I ask, "are you okay?" He says, I clear my throat and nod "yeah- I'm fine." Am I?

What do you say when you find out that your English teacher could be a creep?

I feel sick.

"Em, are you sure you're okay?" Silas asks me, this time I shrug.

"What do I do know, do I drop the class? Do I tell mom? If I tell papà we both know what he'll do" I panic, my father would actually murder Mr. Delaney if he finds out.

"Calm down first, you don't need to drop honors English, you can switch teachers Em, and you don't have to tell anyone unless something happens, or unless you want to, okay?" Silas tells me.

I nod slowly "what if something happens?" I ask him "then the fucker deserves to die." He grits

I am very much like Evelyn, I hate the thought of people dying even if I grew up around a mafia, it still feels weird.

Because none of us know what'll happen, if our father will come home, if our mother will come home.

It's too dangerous, it scares me.

That's how we almost lost Evelyn, it hurt with how close I was her, I didn't know what to do, I was six when it happened

Silas tries changing the subject to make me less nervous, which barely works, even Sophia tries changing it but I just keep focusing on what could happen.

Sophia brings up my birthday, that I was so excited about, but now I don't even know if I want to talk about it.

"So- are you excited to get a septum?" Sophia asked, I nodded "yeah, you guys are coming over, right?" I ask and they nod

"Yeah, we have only like three classes that day, so after that we'll come up." Silas said and I nodded

"Are any of your friends gonna come over?" Silas asked I shrugged "I'm not sure, I haven't asked them really.." I say.

Hannah left me on read last time, Eliana said she's gonna come, Aria said she didn't know, and Sam left me on delivered, and then asked me for homework answers ignoring it.
