After school Emily decided to walk home, she had a lot going on in her mind and just needed to think. Walking home wasn't tooling especially if your mind is preoccupied, when she reached her house she walked up the concrete steps and opened the door. No one was home.

She walked up stairs and sat on her bed, after gym class Adrian tried to tell her something important but Ryder got angry with him and told him to get lost and that Emily didn't want to talk to him resulting in Adrian getting angry and storming out of the school. Ryder tried to talk to Emily all day but she wouldn't let him, what was going on with him at school? Shy has he been acting like this? She had enough, she sighed and fell onto the bed and her head hit the pillow she fell asleep.

She woke up again to her mothers voice from down stairs, "Emily! Come down stairs!" Her mother yelled from down stairs and that's what Emily did, she walked down the stairs and to the kitchen where she seen her mom standing with a cake on the counter.

"A boy named Ryder got you this." Her mother said and Emily walked over to the cake, it had pink icing and sprinkles but Emily didn't bother to take it.

"Must of been someone else, I'm gonna go back up to my room." Emily said waking slowly out of the kitchen and back up to her room, now she was really freaked out now Ryder was buying her cakes? She had to get rid of this stupid amulet which was on her neck, she touched it and it burned her hand, she jerked it away but surprised.. It didn't burn her chest JUST her hand.

She had to get this off, she grabbed her phone and texted Adrian but he didn't seem to text back, "Crap!" Emily yelled, "It's ok Em, tomorrow you can talk to Adrian and he will help you get this off." Emily said pacing, she then remembered that prom would be in a few days and she still hadn't picked out a dress.

"Don't worry about that! Worry about getting this stupid thing off your neck." Emily said to herself as she sat on her bed and begun to bite at her nails, she didn't know what to do.. Maybe.. Maybe this was ok, maybe it was meant to be on her neck- wait, no! She shook her head, this thing was doing weird stuff to her head.

At supper she didn't talk; and no one talked to her, she just ate in silence while the family talked about prom and how Genevieve will look beautiful in her dress. During the entire thing Emily thought and thought.. What is this necklace on her neck and was it controlling her? She had to tell Adrian tomorrow morning.

"Emily?" Hr mother asked once Emily had gotten into her room and sat down, "Yeah?" She answered.

"Would you like some cake?" Her mother asked and Emily sighed, "No thanks." She replied and laid down on her bed falling asleep in an instant.

That night Emily had the same dream.

She woke up with sweat all over her body, she breathed in and out fast and then looked around, she was still in her bedroom where she was safe.. She asked herself why she has been getting all these dreams but she couldn't put it together. After awhile of thinking she finally drifted back off to sleep.

The next day she woke up and made her way to her bathroom, the necklace was still on her neck and she sighed remembering she had to talk to Adrian about it, she brushed her hair and teeth then started getting ready once she was she went down stairs and grabbed some food and bent down to get her bag, when she stood back up she felt a weird.. Heavy breathing, behind her, she spun around to come face to face with Genevieve who looked as if she was in a trance.

"Jenny?" Emily said waving a hand in her face, she didn't move, "Jenny, you ok?" Emily asked her sister and Genevieve shook her head and looked at Emily.

"What happened?" She asked and Emily just examined her, "N-nothing, you just came over asking for your bag." Emily told her handing her, her bag.

"I did? Alright then, later." Jenny said walking away and out the door, Emily soon followed wanting to get out and to school fast. Today there was no Adrian so she took the bus, Ryder tried to sit by her but gave up when she wouldn't talk to him so sat over by Scarlet, Emily rolled her eyes.

"There's more guys out there, Em." Amber said and Emily looked at her, "Maybe.. I just don't see why Scarlet gets every guy she wants though." Emily said crossing her arms.

"It's only because she has those charms hat guys like." Amber said and Emily puffed.

"She's dumb as a doorknob, dresses like a whore and is totally becoming another Jessica." Emily said, she watched as Scarlet giggled when Ryder told her something.

"Well that's what some guys like Em and you know that Ryder dated Jessica so he's into that kinda stuff." Amber said and Emily looked at her and sighed.

"But what do I do?" Emily asked and Amber thought, "You could make him jealous." Amber told her and Emily thought about it.

"With who?" She asked and Amber shrugged then smiled ear to ear, "What about that Adrian guy that Ryder's jealous of?" Amber asked and Emily thought about it looking at Ryder and Scarlet, she was batting her eyelashes at him.

"That may work." She said
