Why me?

Chapter 4: What is wrong with him?

"RINGGGG...RINGGGG...RINGGGG" The bell rang and class for today is over. We have our Maths class and its the last subject for today.The locker was pack with people talking, playing around, singing and some of them are dancing. I went to my locker and pack my stuff.

Suddenly, "Emmalyn? Is that you?" a guy approached me but I cant see his face because of the locker door, so I close my locker and there's a guy looking at me frowning with a confused expression and when we're finally face to face with each other that frown turn into a big smile.

"Yes?" I replied

"EMMA! HI! it's me Eric! Remember when we were small I live next door and every evening we would secretly went out to the playground to play even though our parents won't let us because that time we were so young and they scared someone will kidnap us or something" He explained.

"OH Gosh!  ERIC, HI!!!" I scream and hugged him and I'm pretty sure all the students in the hallway are staring at us but I don't really care because I miss him so much.  

When I was five years old and Eric was six years old, Eric moved in on the house next to my house. We met when my parents and his parents during a dinner of the housewarming party. Eric was one year older than me but we get along really well. Everyday Eric would come to my house to play with me and sometimes I went to his house to play with him. We're so close that even our parents noticed it so our dads made a door between the fence so that its easier for us to go in and out of the house and Eric's house is like a second house to me.

When we were two years older we often went to the playground after school. We went there everyday and spent hours of our time there playing all kinds of games. During night time, after dinner, we would do our homework together in my house and get rewarded with if we managed to finish out homework. But a year later Eric had to follow her parent and moved to other country because of his dad's work. After that, I don't really have any more friends until I found Brianna, Sophie and Kelly. I was so sad and all I do was staying at home or locked myself in my room.

"I miss you so so so so so much Eric!!! How are you?" I asked 

" I miss you too Em!! and I'm good. How about you?" he replied. Before I reply him back, I turn my head and take a look at the people around me and everyone is staring at me and Eric. But then I turned my head to my left and saw Alex was at the bench looking at me and by looking I mean he was glaring.

 I decided to lower my voice " I'm fine  " I replied and then came Bri, Kelly and Sophie.

"Em, we can hear your voice from miles away! what happen?!" Kelly asked. 

"Eric, these are my friends Brianna, Kelly, Sophie and girls this is my childhood friend, Eric" I introduced them with each other and when they are talking with each other, I feel like someone is staring at me and when I turn my head to my left side, I saw Alex was still on the bench staring at me. "What is wrong with him?" I asked myself.
