Every End is a New Beginning

Chapter 9: lockdown

I woke up the next morning with a really bad headache. I got out of bed and felt sick. I new I was getting a cold. I decided to wear sweatpants and a hoodie that day to school. Bun going up on a Wednesday. Then instead of makeup and contacts I decided just to wear my glasses.

I skipped breakfast this morning so I was starving all day + tired +sick. I was running to the cafeteria to get something to eat Abefore I fainted when suddenly a random guy ran into me. His spaghetti going all over my shirt.

"Oh my... Go'd you pig!!!" I yelled.

"Omg I'm so sorry." The young man took a napkin and started to run it.

"YOUR NOT HELPING ITS JUST SMEARING!" I snapped. I still haven't looked up to see who exactly this figure was.

"Okay okay I'm sorry! I have an extra t-shirt in my backpack!" He informed me and grabbed my wrist and lead me to his locker. I immediately snatched it away.

"I don't even know you. You could be some cereal killer." I looked up at his face when he turned around. My cheeks flushed red when I saw a gorgeous Dirty blonde young man standing in front of me.

"Cereal killer.. Right. No.. No I'm not a cereal killer," he chuckled. " I just want to get you a shirt."

"Okay fine but don't touch me." I snapped.

"Yes your majesty." He chuckled in a deep voice. I rolled my eyes and started to follow him down the hallways. We stopped at his locker.

"Um well here." He said handing me a black t-shirt. He grabbed my hand and walked me into the boys bathroom.

"UM NO!" I said refusing to go into the boys bathroom.

"Where else are you gonna change?" He said.

"Um.. Maybe i don't know IN THE GIRLS BATHROOM!" I snapped.

"Oh right I'll just wait out here for you.." He suggested.

"Or not." I snapped. I walked into the bathroom and changed my shirt. The scent of his shirt smelled really good. I guessed it was his cologne. He banged on the door

"can you take any longer the bells about to ring to go home!" He shouted. I walked out of the bathroom feeling so much better.

"Wow someone's impatient." I said. The bell rang.

"Hey I'm super super sorry about that! Can we re-start?." He asked with a warm smile.

"I guess." I puffed my cheeks and rolled my eyes.

"Okay well my name is Ethan." He told me with a warm smile

"Emma." I snapped.

"Look if we are gonna restart you have to be nice to me. Remember you don't know me." He laughed.

"Fine. Emma." I said with a better tone.

"Wow we both start with E's." He said in amusement

"Okay...?" I awkwardly said.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE WHO IS IN THE BUILDING!!!! WE ARE GOING ON LOCK DOWN!!!!! PLEASE GO TO A CLASS ROOM IMMEDIATELY!" The speaker over the school said. Me and Ethan exchanged a look and hurried to a class room. The closest classroom to us was the pe locker room for boys. Of course. Me and Ethan and the coach were the only people in there.

"Um excuse me what's happening I really need to know or my mom will freak out and-"

"Shhh we are in lockdown!" The coach said and he got up from his seat and locked all the doors.

"What's happening??" I whispered loudly.

"This is why I don't coach girls they talk to much." He said in a rude tone.

"Okay then," I said offended. "So what now?" I asked.

"Go sit down somewhere I don't know how long we will be in here. I'll be in my office just keep it down you too unless you want to get killed." The coach said. I went to the corner of the room and sat on the floor.

"Are you alright?" Ethan asked sitting next to me. There was about 3 feet in between us.

"Well I'm scared as hell. So no Ethan I'm not okay." I snapped.

"Okay then." He said looking away from me. So many thoughts went through my mind. Why were we in lock down? What was my mom gonna think when I wasn't home at the usual time? Why is Ethan staring at me? Where is Kylie? Where is Carter? After about 10 minutes I looked at Ethan.

"Why have you been staring at me for the past 10 minutes???" I whispered.

"Your just nice to look at." He said with a smile.

"Ew perv alert." I stitched my eyebrows together.

"No not like that at all!! Your looks nothing else!!" He yelled.

"SHHHHH!!" The coach poked his head out of his office.

"Sorry coach. Anyways.." Ethan said.

"Um Ethan.. Just to let you know I look like crap right now." I informed.

"No you don't." He smiled.

"I have no makeup on. I'm wearing a guys shirt. My hair is in a messy bun. Curls are popping out of my hair everywhere. I'm wearing my glasses...-"

"You look pretty so shut up you talk to much." He interrupted.

"I don't even know you." I said.

"Now you do." He grinned. There was about 5 minutes of silence.

"Hey Ethan?"

"Yeah?" He said.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." He replied

"Did you know Matthew? Like the one who died." I asked.

"Yeah he was a good friend of mine why?" He looked into my eyes.

"I was his girlfriend. He talked about you. That's why I asked." I stared back into his green eyes.

"All good things right?" He smirked.

"Yep." I nodded. He kinda just stared at me for the next few seconds.

"Let's play a game." He insisted.

"We are in lockdown though?" I said.

"I know and I can tell your worried and scared. So let's do something to get your mind off of things." He said.

"Okay sure." I looked at him.

"Let's play Rock Paper Scissors-"

"Are you serious? Rock Paper Scissors? Wow genius." I Laughed.

"You didn't let me finish.. Anyways whoever looses gets asked a question and has to answer it." He said. It reminded me of the game I played with Carter.

"Okay sure."

"On shoot?" He asked.

"Yep fine with me," I said.. We began the game "rock paper scissors shoot!" I did rock

"I won" he smirked. "What grade are you in?"

"11th" I answered.

"Me too!" He grinned. "Emma I can tell I'm gonna like you." He said.
