the first time i saw you ↬ emison

emily's pov

once, i finally get out of the pool that i swam in for 2 hours i go to my locker and start to dry my hair off.

i change back into my regular clothes and start to head to the parking lot. when, i get there i see another car parked out. who would be here in this time?

suddenly, i hear the school door open, which revealed Paige. ugh.

"hey," i say, putting on a fake smile.

"hey, bae," she says. ugh, i hate when she tries to use slang.

"i was wonder-"

"i gotta go home. i promised my mom i would be home early," i say trying to cut the conversation short.

"you didn't even let me finish," she chuckles and starts to get closer. "i was wondering if you wanted to go get a bite."

"paige, i just told you that i have to be at home in time."

she wraps her arms around my waist and smiles.

"can't she just hold on for a little longer?"

"paige" i say rolling my eyes. "i can't just do that."

"then call and tell her that you'll be staying at my place tonight," she smirks.

"paige-"

"please, baby. you haven't been really into me anymore. k
is there anyone else?"

she's getting suspicious.

"n-nope."

"then stay at my place for the night."

"fine," I grumble.

she kisses me on the lips and cheers.

paige's room

i never been to paige's room. there was a reason behind that. one time when she came over at mine, she tried to get me to have sex with her. i refused, but ever since, she never lets it go. she always so suggestive about it, even though i've told her a million times that I wasn't ready. so, now i don't really stay in the same room that haves a bed...with paige...alone.

when, i first entered it smelled heavily of rotten milk. "oh god, paige. what died in here?" i say getting out of the room.

"shut up," she laughs as if i said a joke. i raise an eyebrow. "just get in."

i do as told and try to get used to the smell. "sit down," she smiles.

reluctantly, i do.

we sit down and silently look around. well, i did. i could see paige in the corner of my eye looking, no staring at me.

"i'll go to bed," i suggest but she just smashes her lips on mine. i don't kiss back, trying to tell her that i'm not in the mood. she just keeps on and starts to roughly bite down on my bottom lip.

"paige," i say pushing her away. "i'm too tired."

she rolls her eyes and gets under the covers. so do i.

i look at the opposite direction and try to fall asleep, but i can't.

my phone buzzes and i slowly get it out of my pocket trying not to wake paige up.

from: ali ❤

from: me

from: ali ❤

from: me
k :)

i turn my phone off and slowly start to slip out of bed. i try to be careful and not wake up paige.

i open the door as quietly as possible. i leave and finally breath out fresh air.

when, i finally leave the house and see ali's red ferrari waiting out for me.

i smile and get in.

"hey, thanks ali."

"no problem, em. obviously, staying over at paige's isn't a enjoyable experience," she laughs.

i laugh and start to buckle my seatbelt. when j look back up ali kisses me, i kiss back. when she finishes i smile ear-to-ear.

+ frozen yogurt shop +

ali opens the door, "after you," she smiles.

we go and get a cup for a frozen yogurt.

"what are you're getting, ali?"

"nutty crunch."

i pretend to throw up and laugh. "ew. i don't even know how you can eat nuts!"

"don't knock it 'till you try it," she tells me as i chuckle. "so, what are you getting?" she teases.

"cookie dough," i answer simply.

"so, uncooked cookies on ice cream are better than nuts on ice cream?"

"yep."

i start to fill my yogurt with gummy worms, chocolate chips and cookie dough pieces.

alison adds nuts and smalls Reeses' Pieces.

after, we pay, Alison starts tugging on my arm. "yes?" i ask.

"let's go somewhere else to eat this?"

"okay," i say. "where do you wanna go?"

"i know a place," she says.

we leave the shop and she takes me behind he shop where the garbage cans are. "ali, you aren't seriously going to make us eat here, are you?"

"no, silly. just keep on walking," she laughs

i follow her as she takes me farther. behind one of the gates there is a cleared out path in the middle of some trees that leads to a cliff

she drags me there. "so, there so happens to be a clear path through the woods?"

"no. when jason and i were little we used to always play around here, so we cleaned up a path."

"oh," i laugh.

"here we are," she says.

i look around. it's beautiful. also, we get a perfect view of Rosewood.

"this place is awesome," i smile. i hold her hand tightly. we sit down and start to eat.

once, i'm done i still am hungry. i eye her yogurt.

"what?" she laughs.

"gimme some," i say, getting closer.

"no," she says backing up. " i thought you said you didn't like nuts."

"doesn't matter, i'm hungry now."

"you didn't give me any of yours."

"cause you didn't ask," i say.

"ugh, fine," she smiles and gives some to me.

"mmm" i say as i eat it. she chuckles.

++++

once ali and i finished her yogurt, we set it down and looked at each other. she rested her head on my shoulder.

she plays with our fingers and i bite my lip. not wanting this moment to end.
