Emma's POV
I was zoning out during Geography and letting my mind wander. It was before lunch so my stomach was growling, which made me only think about food. I hated geography and was very bored, so I decided to sketch.
When the bell rang I was the first one out the door. I ran to my locker to put my notebook away and I walked the very crowded hallways.
I got to the cafeteria and I went to the table Bec and I always sit at. I saw Becca and Ethan sitting and laughing, and flirting... At our table, great.
"Hey guys" I said pulling out a chair for myself.
"Hey Emma!" said Becca and Ethan nodded towards me.
"Okay so as I was saying..." said Emma turning back to Ethan, and I just yawn and look around the cafeteria people watching.
The squeaking of a chair makes me jump out of my daze. I watch Jim scoot his chair right up to Becca and put his arm around her.
"Hey sweetie" he says with a smirk.
"Get your fat, pot smoking, girl touching, greasy hands off of me you perv!!" says Emma leaning towards Ethan
"Aww come on pumpkin, I could show you a real good time" he whines.
"I would back off Jim" warns Ethan.
"Fine, but this won't be the last time I try to get you cause mmmm." he winks and walks away.
Well that was interesting. I wonder where Nick is, I haven't seen him since the bus this morning. I was going to walk with him into school, but I lost him in the crowd. I sigh and go get something to eat.

When I go to Art, Nick isn't there either. What the heck? I miss him. Wait.. what? No I can't miss him, because if I missed him, that'd mean I like him. Which I don't. Right?
I sigh and pick up my pencil and start drawing.
The walk home was lonely without Nick, I don't understand where he could be. He can't be sick, maybe he's hurt? Maybe something happened to him and he's dying in the hospital. Maybe he went for a walk and a wolf or a bear attacked him and he was yelling for help but no on could hear and... Emma. Stop letting your anxiety take over, I thought to myself.
I looked down Nick's road, and I let my head hang low as I walked towards my house.
