Hating Emilia

11

-Ethan Hernandez-

She's been distance. The only time I really see her is either in class or during our tutor sessions

I'm not sure why Emilia is but she is, I hate it. I don't fucking know why I hate it but I do.

Getting attached isn't my favorite thing to do, but I guess I am.

I cared about her even more seeing her run out of the lunchroom on her birthday.

How could her own friends forget her birthday? And act okay about it.

Samantha still texts me unfortunately. I guess a text telling her to 'leave me alone' means 'keep texting me' in her eyes.

"What did you say to Emilia?" I hear I stare at Eliana as she sits next to me in our last class.

"What?" I asked, she glared at me "why is Emilia being quiet? Or awkward when your name gets brought up?" She asked

"My name gets brought up? By who?" I asked, Eliana rolls her eyes "one topic at a time, we're talking about Emilia, not you." She said

"How would I know, why?" I asked her "because you guys talk? She tutors you? And has talked about you, sometimes."

So, freckles does talk about me.

"Well, Eliana I don't know what you want me to say, but I don't know why she's acting strange." Her eyebrows furrow in confusion.

I decide to ignore her and surprisingly I pay attention in class, but every now and then my mind wanders to Emilia.

I do want to know why she's acting strange. We have a tutoring session after school today at her house.

The library is closed all day hence why we can't use it, the teacher hands us our classwork and I mostly just bullshit it.

It's a participation grade, not a 'how many did you get right' grade. Maybe if it was being graded on correctness, I'd try.

I get the homework from my teacher and walk out looking for Emilia, I see her talk to Delaney unfortunately, I walk towards her "you ready, freckles?" I asked

Both of them look at me, only one gives me a smile, the other gives me a glare "oh- yeah, my mom isn't home so-yeah, both my parents are at work" she said and I nodded following her out

"What do you think you're doing, Hernandez?" I get asked, I shrug my shoulders "the real question here is, what do you think you're doing." I said

I walk away not wanting to deal with him, the only real reason he's talking to Emilia like that is because she's his type.

Innocent.

I find it Emilia standing outside with Eliana, after they finish talking Emilia and I walk to my car and I unlock it and Emilia gets in the passenger seat

I throw my backpack in the backseat and get in the drivers side she gives me the directions to her house

Unlocking the front door, and walking in "uhm, want anything to eat?" She asks me and I shook my head Emilia nods

A dog comes running towards her and she smiles at it petting the dogs head before walking to her kitchen

"So, what's up?" I asked Emilia, she grabs a bowl out from a cabinet and raspberries from the fridge
