I can't help myself.

Chapter 16

*Regina's P.O.V*

It was lunch. I scowred  the room for Emma, but she was no where to be found. I huffed a heavy sigh as      I took a seat next to her brother Chris.

"Have you seen Emma?" I asked, hoping he would have an answer.

"Not since this morning." He said with a mouthful of what the school tried to pass of as a chicken sandwich 

"Wyatt probably knows, though. They hang out a lot at home."

I nodded. Just as I was about to look for Wyatt, a flash of blonde hair passed me. I'd know that head of hair anywhere. It was Emma. I called after her, but she seemed to be far too interested in the girl standing next to her. She was pretty, if you were into girls that looked like they were going to a tea party after school. I nudged  Chris.

"Who is that with Emma?"

"Dunno. She's probably that new foreign exchange student everyone has been talking about."

"Where is she from?"

"Australia... I think... Why do you care anyway?"

Emma hadn't told him... Damn. I couldn't go back now.

"She - ummm... Is my best friend and I ugh... Worry about her."

He raised an eyebrow at me, but didn't ask anymore questions which I was relieved about. My gut was screaming for me to go over there but I knew if I did , it would look as if I didn't trust Emma. Which wasn't the case. I didn't trust the girl with Emma, who ever she was.

*A/N : Sorry guys for such the long wait... But things have been pretty hectic with the start of school and all... I finally got around to updating... Hope y'all enjoy!
