NOT A FAN

chapter 11

                   *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*
I rolled over in bed smacking my alarm clock hoping it would shut up already.

"Mornin" Jake said barging into my room

I rolled my eyes "you could knock" I said sitting up in bed

My family really has a bad habit of walking into my room uninvited.

He shrugged "why knock when I can just walk in?" He said with a smirk

"What do you want?" I said picking up my phone and checking my messages.

"I want to know who you've been with" He said suddenly sounding serious

"A friend Jake..I told you" I said looking up from my phone and at him

"I'm not stupid Em. Somethings up and you're not telling me....we've always told each other stuff" he said crossing his arms

It's true, Jake and I tell each other everything. He's like my best friend that I live with.

"Jake, everything's fine.. I promise" I said getting up and opening my door signaling for him to go out

He extended his arm holding out his pinky.

"Really?" I said with a laugh

He nodded.

I took his pinky around mine "I pinky promise Jakey" I said with a laugh

He rolled his eyes and pushed my arm playfully as he walked out of my room.

That was close...

I quickly changed my clothes slipping on a white crop top and a pair of shorts.

I also wore my favorite choker and my white adidas.

For my hair I just simply braided it.

I looked in the mirror and shrugged "eh good enough" I said

I quickly grabbed my phone and headed down the stairs to see what was for breakfast.

Boi was I hungry...

"Good morning Em" my Grandmother cheered as I entered the kitchen

"Morning Grandma" I said waking over to give her a hug

I looked over at the table to see my mom, dad, Jake and Maddie already seated.

I exchanged my hellos with everyone and sat down at the table too.

Banana pancakes are my favorite and my Grandma makes the best pancakes you'll ever taste.

I was busy stuffing my face while everyone talked about their lives and stuff.

"So, Em. How's that boy you were telling me about?" My Grandma asked happily with a smile

I nearly choked on the pancake.

Crap.

I could feel my face drain of color as my whole family turned to look at me.

"Uhh he's- uh- he's good" I managed to say quietly

"Boy?" My dad asked crossing his arms

"Y-yeah. I met him at the show when I took Maddie to see the Dolan Twins" I said picking at my food

"You didn't tell me you met a boy!" Maddie said

I looked over to see Jake already looking at me.

I mentally smacked myself.

"What's this boy's name?" My mom said taking a sip of her coffee

"Name?" I said trying to sound calm

"You do know his name right?" Maddie said with a laugh

Everyone started laughing.

I can't do this.

I quickly stood up from the table and ran up to my room.

I closed the door as fast as I could, locked it and sat against it to ensure no one could come in.

I sat there for a solid ten minutes simply debating on what I should do when I heard a quiet knock on my door.

I stood up and opened the door just enough to see who was behind it... Jake
He gently pushed it open and walked in.

"Em, you could've told me it was a boy" he said sticking his hands into his pockets.

I shook my head back and forth quickly

"No-no. You don't understand Jake" I said closing the door

"Because you won't tell me" he said slightly annoyed

"Do you like this guy or something?" He asked sitting on the edge of my bed

"No" I said crossing my arms

He smirked.

"Stop" I said rolling my eyes

"I don't" I said quietly

I don't like Grayson and I can't like Grayson.

I won't let myself like Grayson.
