Emmalyn's POV:
The next morning started like a normal morning. Everything was pretty chill. I got ready for school, and lounged around the house until I had to go to school. Nothing too crazy. I climbed up the steep trail that led to my school and I met up with my friends at the usual spot. It was friday and I was pretty pumped for the week to end. Today we had fifth period tutorial. I went to my fifth period class and sat down at my regular seat. I worked on the work that I needed to catch up on from yesterday, but five minutes into tutorial, Nick walks into the classroom. My eye bulge out of my head. This can't be possible. He looked at me and smiled. He walked up to Mrs. Smith's desk, and got the assignments that he needed to make up, and sat down in the empty desk behind me.
"Hello again."
I turned around and he was smiling at me. I put on a fake smile immediately.
"Hey. What are you doing here?"
"I've got some make up work to complete."
"Yeah. I do too. Normally I don't, but I was absent yesterday so I really need to work on this."
"I'll leave you to it. Hopefully I'll see you at lunch."
I didn't respond. Why did this guy insist on trying to go for me? He doesn't even know me. For the rest of the period, I kept my head faced towards my classwork, but I couldn't work. The guy was right behind me.
Emmalyn's thoughts:
What the hell is going on?! What am I going to do. I don't even know how I feel. He's honestly kind of cute and MAYBE he might be a great guy, but at the same time he creeps me out. Do I possibly have... No no no. That's crazy. He's just making me uncomfortable. Ugh, you know what? I'm gonna text my dad really quick and tell him that I'm going to be in the Library for an hour so I can sneak to the forest. I need to clear my head.
Emmalyn's POV:
Finally, after what felt like a lifetime, tutorial was over. I tried to pack up as fast as I can, but unfortunately, I accidentally dropped my binder and more papers flew out of it. I was a pretty neat person, and all the assignments that I needed today (which were a lot) or papers that needed to be hole punched, were in the pockets of the binder. I quickly bent down to grab all the papers, and Nick did the same exact thing.
"Here let me help you."
"U-ummm.... thanks."
"No problem. This happens to me sometimes. I was a complete klutz last year so this happened to me pretty often."
"Oh. I see."
Finally, I got all my papers neatly back in my binder. I shoved my binder back into my backpack and walked out the door with Nick following from behind.
"See you later Emmalyn."
"Bye."
I quickly walk to Orchestra, my next class. As I was playing my violin, I kept thinking over and over about what I'm going to do. I'm obviously not going to hang out at the same place today. After contemplating my choices over and over, I decided that I will hang out at the Cosplay Club with my friends. That way I won't have to see him, and I could eat in peace. Finally, third period was over. I packed up and since we pack up early in Orchestra, I can get my lunch from the cafeteria early and make my way to Cosplay Club. I got my lunch and by the time I got to the place where the club was held, the bell rang. The peopme filed out and I walked inside. A minute or two later, I was greeted by my friends Sammy, Johana, Reagan, Meaghan, Brigett, Katie, Bjourne, Preston, Nathan, and Josh. Katie walked up to me and hugged me.
"Hey girl! What brings you here?"
"Oh. There was this guy that I met last night who hit on me. He kind of freaks me out and I figured I'd hang out here since he knows where I go at lunch and I just don't want to deal with him."
Brigett looked at me in disbelief.
"Are you kidding?! Who is this guy?"
"I don't know. Some guy named Nick. He hit on me last night and he found me during tutorial. I'm hella confused and to be honest, really freaked out."
"Oh okay. Well feel free to hang out here. This club is open every Wednesday."
"Okay. Thanks."
"No problem. Oh! Mr. Mason!"
"Yes Brigett?"
"We have a new member."
"Okay. That's fine."
"Have a seat Emmalyn."
"Okay."
I sat down and started to eat my lunch. I was feeling more relaxed and I was actually having fun. There were people who were dressed up in different types of cosplay costumes. One guy even dressed like Natsu from Fairytail. I'm personally not a fan of anime. To be honest, anime kind of freaks me out a bit after the first time I tried out anime club where they spent ten minutes picking out an anime and the ended up choosing an anime where a little boy was being tortured with his eyes being forced open by some sort of machine and then the next scene, he was fighting another guy in an arena with his own blood, which I guess was magic. I bolted out of there by the time the boy fainted. That creeped me out badly. In Cosplay Club, they would just hang out and cosplay once a month. Right in the middle of lunch I had to go to the restroom. I walked towards the door when Katie stopped me.
"Where are you going?"
"Oh I'm just going to the restroom."
"I'll come with you. I need to go as well."
"Alright."
I smiled at her and we walked towards the closest restroom, which was less than a minute away. The problem was, we had to pass by the area where I hang out to get there. I asked Katie if we could take a detour, but she insists on going the fast way. Half way to the restroom, we were passing by the area where we usually hang out and, I saw Nick. He was playing around with his friends and unfortunately, he spots me. He ran towards me.
"Hey Emmalyn. Wanna hang out? I want to introduce you to my friends."
"No thank you. I'm actually hanging out with my friends at a club and I left my stuff over there. I'm actually about to use the restroom and I've got to be quick, otherwise, my friends will hide my backpack."
"Oh, okay. Bye."
I waved, grabbed Katie by the arm, and rushed towards the restroom. I shut the door behind me and put my face in my hands."
"What was that about?"
"That was Nick."
"You're kidding?! So that was why you wanted to take the detour!"
"No shit Sherlock!"
"Anyway, didn't you need to use the restroom."
I nodded my head.
"Yeah I do, but there's one stall left. You go ahead and take it. Could you do me a favor though?"
"Yeah sure."
"When you go back to the cosplay club, could you bring me my stuff. I'm going to stay in here until lunch ends."
"Really Emmalyn? He's just a boy. He'll leave you alone eventually."
"You're right."
"Of course I'm right."
"Its just too bad that I'm not going to be dead anytime soon."
"Huh?"
"You said he will leave me alone eventually. I told him that I had a boyfriend and he's still persistent on trying to go out with me. I'm pretty damn sure he won't leave me alone until I'm dead."
"You are over exaggerating Emmalyn."
"Over exaggerating?! Dude! This guy hit on me when he barely knew me for an hour. Paulina dragged me to the restroom to talk, and when we got out, he was right outside! Over exaggerating my ass!"
"Okay how about this. Lets go back to the club. If you pass by the area we hang out at, I'll buy you a Gaterade. Does that sound good?"
"Fine."
"Alright. Hurry up and lets go."
"Alright fine."
We finished up in the restroom and then walked back to the club. As I expected, my friends hid my backpack. I started questioning them but they weren't givibg in. Then Nick walked into the room. Perfect! Just what I needed.
"Emmalyn! Hey!"
"Hey Nick."
I sighed. I turned back to my friends.
"Okay. Seriously guys! Could I have my backpack back?! Seriously? What are we, Kindergardeners?"
"Hey, Emmalyn! Its my boyfriend and I's anniversary today. Could you help me surprise him really quick?"
"Sure thing Brigett. I owe you for last week."
"Okay. Guys give her back her stuff. "
Sammy goes behind the teacher's desk and pulls out my backpack. She was laughing as she handed it to me. I rooled my eyes and exited the room with Brigett.
"Thank you for saving me in there."
"No problem. But I actually wasn't lying in there. I have this gift that I want to give my boyfriend."
She pulls out a box wrapped in wrapping paper with a note attached saying To my little Honey-Muffin <3.
"Honey-Muffin?"
I raised my eyebrow and chuckled a bit."
"Shut up!"
"No its cute. Hehe."
"Anyway... I want to sneak up behind him so I can jump on him. I need you to distract him."
"But he doesn't even know me."
"Don't you have him in your Science class?"
"Yeah but we never talk. I guess I can ask him if he remembered what the homework was."
"That's perfect! That's all the time that I need."
We walk into the upper quad (I usually hang downstairs in the lower quad) and we instantly find her boyfriend. His name was Mark and He and Brigett have been going out for a year now. I walk up to Mark.
"Hey Mark."
"Uh... Hi?"
"Sorry to bug you. I was wondering if you remember what the homework was for Mr. Herbold's class. I forgot to write it down."
"Oh yeah sure it-AAHHH!!!"
"Hehehe. Happy anniversary baby!"
"Aaawwww Brigett-Bear. You shouldn't have."
They kissed and hugged for a second.
"Oh would you give me a second? I need to show her my homework agenda really quick."
"Oh no need. She's my friend. I wanted to surprise you and she helped."
"Oh. I didn't know you guys were friends."
"Yeah. We've been friends since the beginning of the school year."
"How did I not know?"
"I have no idea. Anyway, happy anniversary Mark."
"Happy anniversary babe. Love you."
"Love you too. Alright Emmalyn. Lets go."
"Alright. It was nice to officially meet you."
"Haha yeah you too."
