Now That I'm Gone

Chapter 1

Emma's POV
Beep beep beep!
I sat up and looked at my alarm clock.
"9:47"
Crap!!
I'm late!! I jumped off my bed and quickly pulled on my black skinny jeans, red crop top, and black zip up hoodie. I ran to the bathroom to brush my hair and teeth and then I slipped on my black high top converse and my black and red snap back. I rushed down stairs and saw my mom and dad sitting at the table.

"Bye!! I love you guys!!" I said as I grabbed a banana from the counter.
My mom looked up from her magazine and nodded at me in response.

I ran down my driveway right in time to catch my bus at the school across from my house.

I walked onto the bus and sat in seat 13. Next to my best friend, Samantha, or as I call her, Sammy.

Sammy was beautiful. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Even more perfect. She looked at me nervously. Something was up.

"Emma.. I need to tell you something.." Sammy said

"Okay, shoot" I said

"So Brody asked me out.."

"Oh my gosh!!! Really!!!" I squealed happily for her "that's amazing!!"

She laughed and then sighed.
"I can't believe my biggest crush asked out me. Like me. Samantha Rubys. How!?" She sighed

"He is pretty hot though" I laughed "Ow!!" I yelled as she elbowed me in the ribs. "What was that for!!" I whined

"For calling my boyfriend hot. You may be my best friend but I'm not gonna let you steal him" she said

I bursted out laughing. I couldn't help but to laugh. It was freaking hilarious! 'Steal him' oh gosh she is funny. I looked over at Sammy to see that she was death staring me. I immediately stopped laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Sammy asked obviously not amused

"Because you think I'm gonna steal him! I'm your best friend!! Plus he's hot but he's not that hot" I laughed again

Sammy smiled "I know I'm sorry, I'm just really happy. I'm also scared it might be a prank or something"

"Nah it wouldn't be a prank. Do you see how he looks at you?" I ask

I saw Sammy blushing. Of course she knows! Boys swoon over her for goodness sake! Okay boys swoon over both of us but it's different with her. Like she's so cheery and I'm... well.. not.

I looked out of the window and got lost in my thoughts like I do every morning, since the window seat is mine. Why can't I ever get any boy? I mean they chase after me, but I want one that needs me not just wants me. I didn't notice we had arrived at school until Sammy tugged on my hair pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Ow, ow, ow!! Sammy let go!!" I yelled as she pulled me off the bus literally by my hair.

I starting slapping Sammy's hand until she let go. I took off my hat, fixed my hair, and put my hat back on.

Stupid Sammy. You messed up my hair.

I turned and faced Sammy. I glared at her and she just smiled at me innocently.

"Sammy. Don't touch my hair!!! Do it again I will rip yours out." I threatened

Sammy gasped and practically hugged her hair. "Don't do that!! I love my hair more then you sometimes."

I rolled my eyes. "Your hair can't buy you chocolate so... I doubt that."

"True.." Sammy sighed

I looked at the entrance and saw Brody with his friends. Max and Jasper. Total jocks. Literally. Jasper was quarter back on our school's football team, Max was a wide receiver, and Brody was a running back. They all looked great in their uniforms, I mean what football player wouldn't? Football players are great and all but I enjoy watching basketball much more. Okay yes I don't know much about basketball but that's because I suck at it. I said I liked to watch it not play it. Brody and his friends started to walk towards us and Sammy's face lit up. Brody wrapped his arms around Sammy and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Awww they're so freaking cute!!!

"Emma? Emma!!" Sammy slapped my arm lightly

"What? Oh, sorry I was thinking" I said nervously

"Of course you were" Sammy laughed "you're always thinking about something"

"So Samantha our first game of the season is this Friday so as my girlfriend," Brody said drawing out the "g" word "I was wondering if you would um, wanna come?"

Sammy squealed "Of course I wanna come you idiot!!" Sammy patted down her skirt "I mean if Emma goes then I'm in."

Oh no. She is dragging me into this. I hate football games. People sitting skin against skin. Stupid cheerful people.

"Um Sammy, I don't know... You know I have a lot of studying to do already. Mrs. Johnson gave us this huge assignment and I have to start it."

"Ugh fine, but I'm spending the night tomorrow. So I'm coming home with you on the bus."

"Okay I'm fine with that, and so is my mom probably. I'll ask tonight." I said

Sammy turned to Brody and walked into the school leaving me alone with Jasper and Max. I began to walk towards the door as I heard heavy footsteps behind me.

"So Emma how come you haven't found a 'lucky catch' yet? I mean come on you haven't had a single boyfriend the entire year." Jasper asked

"Or my entire life" I mumbled.

"What was that?" Max asked

"Nothing," I replied stiffly "I gotta go to class guys see you later. And keep an eye on Sammy okay? Don't want anything 'bad' to happen."

"Will do" Jasper and Max practically saluted.

I rolled my eyes. Those guys are dorks. Who knew the big bad jocks could be so adorable at times? I walked with my head high and put my hand up to my hair to make sure my hat was still in place. Good. It was. I walked straight through the double doors of the school and headed for my locker. I forgot my backpack here yesterday so I had to get it quick before my first class started.
