"Emma!"

I turn around at the call of my name and see Vianne running up to me. I am a little caught by surprise when she rams into me giving me a bear hug.

"What?", I say laughing.

"Your birthday of course!" she says smiling widely.

"It's in two days, Vianne"

"I know! That makes today the Eve of the Eve of your birthday! So, Happy Birthday Eve Eve!", she goes crazy over birthdays but I have no idea why. She always tries to surprise me but I always find out from Ava.

"You're crazy," I say laughing at her. We start to walk down the hall to go to our lockers. Mine, Vianne's and Ava's lockers are fairly close to each other so we get to catch up on things.

When I turn the corner of the hallway I bump into someone, knocking down all my books.

"Watch where you're going dumba-" I cut myself off when I look into the familiar blue eyes of the boy standing in front of me.

Louis.

"Wanna finish that sweetheart?" he says with a wicked smile. I look around the hall for someone to help but no one is there except for Louis, Zayn, Niall, Harry and Liam. I guess they scared them away.

"No," I say with a small voice.

He puts both of his hands on my shoulders and pushes me into the wall, banging my head. Ow, that's going to leave a bump.

"Didn't think so. Talk to me like that again and you will regret you did," the seriousness and harshness of his voice throws me off. Usually he would say something like that with a smirk but there was no smirk plastered on his face this time.

He backs away, not even looking at me while the rest of the boys glare at me. All of them except Harry. He only looks at me with something in his eyes. He almost looks... guilty. But the gleam in his eyes leaves as fast as it came and he scarily smiles at me.

"Goodbye, Emmeline!" he says sarcastically, walking away. How does he know my full name? I've only told Ava and Vianne my full name.

"H...how do you know my full name?" I say hoarsely.

He stops dead in his tracks. It's only us two in the hallway. He turns around and smirks.

"Oh, Emmeline... I know a lot more than you think."
