Emma Daniels (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 16

Lacey 

The rest of the week passed quickly after that day in my classroom, I still haven't gotten around to speaking to Emma, she would come to school every morning 5 minutes before class started and leave as soon as the bell rang, so I never had the opportunity to ask her to talk.

I felt like she was doing it on purpose, giving me the space that I guess I did ask for, but it's now Friday afternoon, and if I don't talk to Emma today, I won't be able to talk to her for three weeks because of Christmas break.

Because I don't have her number in my phone, and I didn't exactly know how to ask for it without her thinking more of it.

So my bright plan was to write her a note in her book, I basically asked her if I could drive her home from school so that we could talk.

I don't know if that'll make her freak out or be happy, I hope happy, I'm already nervous about it, so if she is too it'll probably end up being a complete mess.

But it needs to happen, I need to learn more about Emma Daniels.

"Good afternoon" I greeted my students as they entered and took their place in their seats.

A few mumbled a good afternoon back to me, but not one was from the voice that i wanted to hear.

I looked aorund the room and noticed she wasn't even in her seat, i glanced at the clock seeing that there were 2 minutes before the bell rang, i waited patiently allowing my students a minute to sort themselves out, there was 30 seconds left on the clock so i made my way over placing my hand on my door and began closing it, but was stopped by a pressure on the other side, i opened the door and Emma was standing on the opposite side looking flustered as the bell sounded above our heads.

I nodded at her and allowed her into the classroom before closing the door and walking back to the centre of the room.

"Okay seeing as it's the last day before christmas break i am going to take it easy on you and be nice" I smiled and heard a chorus of yes's throughout the classroom.

"I just want you to write an entry in your journal's and then you're free to do as you wish, but place your journal's back on my desk when you've finished okay"

A few of the students nodded at me so i smiled and began handing out their journal's, once everyone had their books i sat down at my desk, my eyes trained on Emma as she flipped open the book, her eyes landing on the note that i had left her, she stared at it for a few seconds before her eyes lifted to stare right into my own, she nodded softly and i had to stop myself from smiling, she has agreed to ride with me, so i can finally talk to her.

I was growing impatient watching the hands on the clock slowly tick by, i started to read a book but couldn't concentrate, too consumed by what is going to be happening as soon as the bell rings.

I glanced up as a student placed their journal down on my desk and noticed it was the one and only Emma Daniels, she smiled at me and tapped her book before walking back towards her desk, i glanced around the room before picking up her desk and flipping through the pages until i found the one she wanted me to see.

There was a piece of paper resting on top of today's entry with a note.

*I look forward to the drive, Here's my number so you don't have to leave me secret mesages anymore ;)*
The note read with her number just below it.

I smiled and i could feel the blush creeping up on my cheeks, i looked up and saw Emma's eyes were focused on me, i nodded and looked back down biting my lip softly, i removed the paper from the book and glanced at the top of the page where it said *DO NOT READ* marked in bold letters, i was curious as to what she had written that she didn't want to be read, but i promised the students that i wouldn't read something they did not want me to, so i closed her book and placed it on the edge of my desk.
