Chapter 19- Gay For Grandfathers

We got to our places on the table. Were we ACTUALLY going to be able to see our friends at school? No doubt there would be News cameras to capture the moment. We all put on our headphones and turned on the screen. I was shocked to see my homeroom/first period class. Algebra. Dammit I must have SO much makeup work. I could see they put the screen and camera for me to communicate with in the front of the class so that I could communicate with everyone. There was one camera man there, so I knew it was probably live. "Emera?" my teacher asked. I smiled and waved. "Hello, it's me," I said. My classmates gaped at me, bug-eyed that I was communicating with them. "Emera? Are you OK? Where are you? What happened? BRUH WHERE DID YOU GET DAT NECKLACE?" one girl asked. I laughed. "Um, OK well I'm fine, I don't really know EXACTLY where I am, a lot happened, and I got the necklace from Zoey," I said. "Wait, are the other missing kids with you?" another girl asked.  I didn't know or like these people, but I pretended I knew them just like they pretended they knew me for the cameras. I nodded, "They are talking to their own classes at this moment right now actually," I said. 

"Are you all friends and together?" one boy asked.  I adjusted the glasses on top of my head. My grin became wider. "Yeah, MOST of us are really close. We're always together." I said. "What's it like there?" someone else asked. "Well, we're like in this BIG mansion, its REALLY nice and they have SO many unexplored rooms!" I said. "How did you escape?" One boy asked. "Well, we didn't ESCAPE, we just visited to buy stuff," I answered. "WHY DID THE GUYS BUY TAMPONS AND WHY WERE THEY SNIFFING THEM?" one guy shouted. "Ummm . . . well. We've been here for two months . . . that's all I'm going to say," I answered them. I turned to Tyler sitting next to me. "They are asking about the tampons," I said. My class screamed because they could see him in the camera.

"Um . . . Well, put me on My Strange Addictions?" He blushed and turned back to his own class. I turned back to the camera. "He . . . sniffs them I guess," I said. "Are you REALLY dating Brian?" one girl asked. I blushed. "NO. NO NO NO. He just said that to get attention. I'm NOT dating him, and I never will!" I protested. The girls let out a sigh of relief. "Are you interested in someone THERE?" one boy asked. My face went red. "Well. . .?" I said. Some girls squealed. I spotted the NEWS crew in the corner of the camera creeping a bit into view "Is Jason there?!" I heard Tate scream. My face paled . . . "Oh, um. Yeah, he is," I said. "Can I talk to him?" she asked. I nodded and yelled over to Jason, "Jason . . . uh, Tate wants to speak with you." His smile grew and spread across his face as he rushed here and plugged in one head phone. 

"Hey Tate," he said. "Oh JASON! I've missed you so MUCH! I-I have to tell you something! Ever since you left, I've realized. I-I want you back. I love you! Please come back home PLEASE! I love you Jason!" she pleaded. The class 'awed' as Jason had a look of shock, mine a look of anger. I scowled, I've bee talking to these people over an hour already. "He is gay for grandfathers. TOO BAD SO SAD BYE," I hastily said and slammed my computer shut. Jason turned to me with a shocked scowl on his face.

 "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he asked me. I rolled my eyes. "IT'S AGAINST THE RULES! You KNOW you've already been set up with someone here! WE HAVE A MISSION SO YOU CAN'T GET YOUR HORMONES GET IN THE WAY! You have someone HERE whether you like it or not and you can't afford distractions! You CAN'T get back together with her!" I yelled. "Oh yeah?! What about you and that Brian guy? HUH?!" he shouted. "BRIAN IS AN ARROGANT PRICK WHO WAS LYING FOR THE ATTENTION HIS PARENTS NEVER GAVE HIM!" I shouted. "YOU DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THAT WHEN HE SAW YOU THERE!" He scowled. "WELL, WHAT'S IT TO YOU HUH? I JUST SAID I WASN'T INTERESTED IN HIM!" I growled. "WELL YOU NEED TO FINISH THE MISSION AND EXPERIMENT, EMERA! Old love doesn't last!" He crossed his arms. "Well, I could say the same thing to you about Tate!" I shouted.

"You have your partner HERE Emera!" He yelled. "SO DO YOU! You didn't seem to object when she said she loved you!" I said. "YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHANCE TO!" he shouted. "You're too concerned about the past! Your future is HERE with either ME or CHASE. I've tried to tell you that I-"

 "GUYS!" Bailey shouted. "I think this is enough, everyone shut your laptops."

 Everyone did as Jason shut his. "You don't think they heard what they were saying, do you?" Richard asked.

 Carlyn sighed, "They were yelling so much they must've heard SOME of it through the headphones. I doubt they got all, though. There will DEFINITELY be a lot of questions but I doubt they will be able to piece anything together. There will just be conspiracy theories," she said. Zoey looked towards Jason, "What were you saying earlier?" He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Never mind, whatever. Forget it." He returned to his room.

 I sighed and sat down on the couch. "I messed up didn't I?" I said. "No, you just made things more confusing for the NEWS people, which is probably a good thing. But for Jason. . . you screwed up big time," Marcus snickered, rolling his eyes. I nodded, "It seems so confusing, and I'm not even sure I'll even have someone . . ." I mutter. Chase patted my arm, "Hey, relationships and feelings are only real and true if there are mistakes, and if you and I happen to get together. Well, I hope we make mistakes too, but right now I think all of us have our hearts a bit confused. So go get him!" He smiled at me and I smiled back. "Thanks, Chase, I bet whoever you end up with- me or Stacie- will be VERY happy to be with you." And with that, I turned to go after Jason.
