loving the wrong guy

4

When they arrived at Kriston's house Emily was blown away. Everything was so big and new and beautiful. Kriston whisked Emily into the den; he put on some music and offered her a drink. For the next few hours they laughed and talked and worked on Kristons Maths. Emily couldn't believe how well it was all going. They were getting along like they had been together forever. At 11 Emily said she needed to get home. Kriston drove her home and walked her to her front door. He hugged her and thanked her for everything.

"This is it we are now dating." Emily thought happily to herself. "Boys don't hug girls unless they feel something"

The next day she sung as she dressed carefully. Everything seemed brighter and better today. She skipped and danced all the way to school. When she saw Kriston she ran over to him and tried to hug him.

"What do you think you are doing" Ashley Carpenter asked, putting herself between Kriston and Emily.

"Giving Kirston a hug" Emily said a little confused.

"Why would you be hugging MY boyfriend?" Ashley demanded.

"We um well we hung out last night and I wanted him to know I had fun" Emily stammered.

Everyone in the popular group burst out laughing.

"Omg this little nerdy freak thinks that helping you with maths means you guys have had a special moment. That's too cute" Ashley jeered.

Kriston grabbed Emily's arm.

"Listen you helped me out it's not a big deal. It's not like it was a date or anything special it was just you helping me. God what is wrong with you girls? I am a little nice and you think we are going to get married or something. Get a clue, why would I want someone like you, when I have someone like her?"

"I um.." Emily stammered with tears running down her face. She turned and fled to the bathroom.
