Foster Me: Emerson's Secret (ON GOING)

Chapter 4

PLS PUT YOUR PLAYLIST HERE

Biology class was a drag. First block of the day felt like it went by in no time. I was there and then just as quickly I left the room. Now here I was in Biology and every time I looked at the clock, time ticked by ever so slowly.

Levi alternated between yawning and trying to sneak a peak of my worksheet. Ms. Peterson passed out a workbook and instructed us to get the first 20 pages done before the end of class. The first 10 pages was reviewing plant and animal cells. They must have already completed the chapter on cells. The other 10 pages had questions and picture matching about invertebrate and vertebrate animals.

Levi leaned against my arm. He tried peaking at my answers.

I tried my best to ignore him.

He whispered, "What's the answer for question four?"

I rolled my eyes.

As soon as the bell rang, I hurried out the classroom door and down the hall.

"Yo, wait up!"

Before I knew it, Levi was at my side. God, I wished he'd just leave me alone already. Just because we're neighbors doesn't mean we need to be friendly. He didn't even need to know who the hell I was. I wasn't here to make any friends.

"So are you visiting with Jake and Carol?" he asked.

"I guess you can say that."

"How long?"

I didn't even know...Only time will tell.

A petite blonde stepped in front of us. "Levi," she said, playing with her hair.

"Amber."

I took that as my cue to leave. I maneuvered around her and was about to continue down the hall for Lunch when someone grabbed onto my elbow, pulling me back.

"Fuck!"

Levi removed his hand from my elbow and smiled at me.

"Don't you dare man handle me!"

"My bad. I just wasn't finished talking to you yet," Levi reasoned.

"Well I was." I hissed. He didn't have some 'voodoo' right to keep me from going about my business. I do what I want. I walk where I want. I talk about whatever the hell I want to. I'm not some robot machine he could control.

Amber bit her bottom lip, "Well this is awkward..."

'Not really. More like fuckin' annoying,' I thought to myself.

"So you're the new girl," she said. "I'm Amber."

"She's nameless," Levi added.

Amber raised a brow.

"I have a name." I said.

"She just refuses to tell me. She's just playin' hard to get."

"Right," I rolled my eyes. "That's exactly what I am doing. Not every girl wants to get in your pants, stupid."

"Actually----majority of them want to.." Amber's voice quietened.

I looked at her incredulously. Course I really shouldn't be so surprised. He wasn't the worst looking guy in the world. He was attractive in the whole bad boy type of way. I'm sure his muscular body has helped him alot too. But I wasn't going to be like those stereotypical girls in school.

"Anyways---I'm hungry," I said. And I really wanted to get out of here. Get away from Levi..

"Me too," he agreed.
