Finding Emmaleigh Blakely

Chapter 17

Emmaleigh's POV

Today, I need to talk to Grayson about him taking Alivia to the winter dance. School starts tomorrow, so that means that the dance is on Friday. That is so soon! I can't wait! But wait, Ethan hasn't asked me yet. What if he doesn't even like me? What if he is not going to ask me? What if he is going to break up with me? No. Em. Don't even let yourself think like like that. He does like me. He will ask me, he just hasn't got the chance to yet. He won't break up with me because if he was going to, he already would have right now. Ethan was the kind of guy that when he made up his mind about something, he would do it. And he wouldn't wait around to do it either. He would just come right up to your face and to it too. None of that text/call dumping all of the phony-baloney boyfriends do. I have known him enough to know that. I texted Grayson and our conversation looked something like this:

Emma (Me): Hey Gray. We need to talk ASAP. Love ya, Em.

Gray: Ok. Meet me at the baseball field in twenty. Love ya, Gray.

The baseball field was where we always liked to talk. It always has been, for as long as I can remember. I told Mom and Liv that I was going out for a while and of course, Liv wanted to go with me and I said that I 'needed some time alone'. That was code word for 'I'm going to set you up on a date with Grayson, but I don't want you to know yet'.

Alivia's POV

Emmaleigh just left and I don't know where too and of course, I'm dying to know. I asked her if I could go with her and of course, she said no. She claims that she 'needs some alone time'. And I'm just not buying it. It was obviously code for something, I could feel it like a twin-thing, but I just don't know what the code means yet. I walked into the kitchen to smell Mom baking cookies. I love it when she bakes. It reminds me of when we were little baking cookies for Santa with Ethan and Grayson. One of these days I want to film a YouTube video and bake cookies to bring back the memories.

Emmaleigh's POV

When I got to the park, Grayson was already there waiting for me. "So what's the huge emergency?" He asked I couldn't quite tell if he was concerned or not. "Well, it's not that big of an emergency, actually." I explained. "Then why did you say ASAP?" He asked again. "Because I knew you wouldn't have came if I would have just made it seem like no big deal." I told him. I knew him well enough that if you wanted him to be somewhere, anywhere, even if it was home for dinner, you had to make it seem like a big deal. "Anyways," I continued, "I wanted you to come here so I could ask you something very important." "Ok, and what might that be?" He asked. "I wanted to know if you were planning on taking anyone to the dance?" I asked him worried that he had someone else in mind. "No, well, kinda, I dunno, it's kind of complicated." He told me. "Well if not, I know a special someone who would love to go to the dance with you." I told him. "With you? Eww! No! And besides, I know I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but Ethan is planning on asking you anyway." He explained to me. "He is?! Really?!" I asked in shock. "And no, I wasn't talking about me you weirdo. I was talking about Alivia." I explained to him. "Oh, ya, Alivia. I was going to ask her, but I didn't know if twins dated twins these days." He told me. "Of course they do!" I exclaimed. "And yes! Go ask her!" I was so happy that she was finally getting a date to the dance!

Alivia's POV

I was in my room when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it, assuming it was Emmaleigh coming home from her 'alone time'. Which I haven't quite cracked the code on that one yet. To my surprise, it was not Emma, it was Grayson. "Grayson!" I said happy to see him. "Hi. Well, I'm not the most romantic guy in the world, so I'm just going to come out and say it, will you go to the dance with me?" He asked me and I was shocked. "Of course I will!!" I exclaim, wrapping my arms around him giving him a big hug. I turn around and see Em smiling. Of course, this was the answer to the code, she set this up. I smiled back as to say 'thanks'. I can't wait for school tomorrow.
