I Kissed Her Scars

Chapter 12

"Okay Connor," said Rylan, "Emma trusts you, right?"

"Yea I guess..."

"Good. We can take her phone fourth period, find a song, and since you have spare last period, we can give her phone to you and you can take a computer and burn it on a CD. And we will have our song."

"Okay... And what does that hafta do with her trusting me?"

"Well Connor, you can give her her phone when you're done with it and say that she left it in biology and you decided to return it to her."

"Okay..."

He could sense how nervous I was.

"Don't sweat it bro," he said, patting my back.

I decided not to let Emma know I was helping her. I didn't want her to know that these guys were trying to get her in trouble.

Guess it was also a win-win. I was helping Emma not get in trouble like Rylan wanted her to. Guess I wasn't really helping Rylan, but it seemed like I was. That still counts right?

We were in our fourth period class, biology. I had it with Rylan, Harry, and Emma.

I could see Rylan trying to signal to us that the prank was in motion. Since Harry was right behind her, he easily opened her bag and took her phone. I could see Rylan trying to hold back laughter.

He then tossed the phone to Rylan, who was about 3 seats away from him.

"Mrs. Dawson," Rylan said, raising his hand.

"Yes?" she said, turning around while writing notes in the board.

"May I go to the washroom?"

"Alright," she said turning back around, "Sign out."

"Thank you Mrs. Dawson," he replied, so polite it was freaky for Rylan.

He smiled at us as he left the classroom, bringing the phone with him. Oh gosh, our teacher was so blind.

I continued to take notes and Rylan came back 10 minutes later, with a smirk in his face. Class was ending in 5 minutes. 5 minutes until it was in my hands to make sure my best friend wouldn't leave this school. And even worse... Leave me.

Best friend??? Did I call Emma my best friend??? Guess Rylan was shot out of that position. I wasn't too fond of the person he became.

The bell rang, and I went to the door to get out of the classroom. Rylan was already waiting there for me, and he handed me her phone. There was a note on it, the name of the song I had to burn onto the CD. The 'emo-est.' King For a Day- Pierce the Veil.

I sighed. Time for my very own plan to commence.

I went to the library, where I was to be during spare. I went on a free computer and had 2 CD's. One for Rylan's intended prank, and one for my intended plan. They both said 'National Anthem Disc' on them in similar writing, my crappy writing. But that didn't matter.

Me and Emma both had iPhones, so I easily hooked her phone to the computer using my charging chord. I burned King For A Day on one CD, and found a random national anthem version from online to put on the other CD.

I then said a little prayer that this would all work out.

The bell rang that school had ended. Finally.

I encountered Rylan in the hall on the way to my locker. I gave him the CD with King For A Day on it, keeping the other one securely in my bag.

"Great work man," he said, grinning at me, "Great work."

I gave him a fake smile, but he left before he could see it.

I took my books and walked out to my car, waiting for Emma. I was a bit nervous to see her though. Having to lie to her about why I had her phone.

She walked out... And she didn't seem happy. Shoot. I forgot... She always listened to her music as she walked out of the school. But she would've realized her phone was gone by now, since she wasn't listening to any music. And she didn't seem happy.

"Hey Emma," I said nervously, as she walked into my car.

"Hey Connor, omigosh, you'll never guess what just--"

I held up her phone.

"My phone... Where did you get that???"

"Oh uhm... It must've dropped out of your bag in Biology. I found it on the floor so I picked it up and I am giving it to you now."

"Connor... I left the classroom after you did. I saw you. You didn't reach down to pick up a phone. And I sit in the back corner of the classroom. You sit near the front. You didn't even walk past my spot when you left the classroom to be able to see my phone on the ground and pick it up."

I sat there uncomfortably and silently.

"What are you hiding Connor???"
