Emily entered the club room with Alix who had been nice enough to go along with her. Rocky, Jordan, Taylor, Jane, and Anne were all spread throughout the room, noticeably quiet and frustrated toward each other. As soon as Emily entered the room, Rocky's frown quickly vanished and was replaced with a smile, at least until she had noticed Alix as well.
"Woah, woah, woah, Emily, why did you bring Samantha here?" She questioned. Emily looked back at Alix who said nothing, but was shaking from either anger or nervousness.
"Rocky, this is Alix. Who are you talking about? Are you feeling ok?" Emily asked, walking further into the room to join Anne, Taylor, and Jane. Rocky scoffed and turned to Jordan to whisper. They laughed amongst themselves before turning back to us with wide smiles.
"No, that is Samantha Green. I should know, we dated! Sadly, she has turned into something more abnormal than what we are, so naturally we broke up and she... is whatever it is." Rocky cackled, pointing to Alix who was now upset and distraught. Anne stepped forward, but Emily stopped her before confronting Rocky herself.
"I know what you are. Scum. You must really love to piss people off and treat others like trash, huh? It's a good thing Alix did break up with you, because you don't deserve him! It's no wonder why you're single." Emily stated angrily, pushing back on Rocky. They both glared at each other before Rocky sighed and push Emily hard enough to make her fall to the ground.
"You know, you really anger me. I have no fucking clue as to why I like you, but I just know I do. If you're really going to pick that thing for a friend over me, then be my guest. Go fuck yourself, Emily!" Rocky yelled, hurrying to the door to open it for the whole group. Each left one by one and were soon standing in the hallway. Alix grabbed onto Emily's shirt with a worried look on his face.
"Thanks, Emily... I'm so sorry you had to-"
"Don't thank me, Alix. I did it because we are friends and friends don't apologize to each other." Emily cut her off, kindly patting his head before turning back to Anne who was waiting patiently for Emily's attention. "Anne, I'm sorry about earlier. It's obvious now that we are going to have problems in the club, so if you want we can go ahead and quit to join another club." Anne perked up at Emily's words and quickly nodded.
"That sounds great! I was thinking about going into the photography club together, or the art club, or even maybe the international club?" Anne asked happily. Alix smiled at the two talking and quickly disappeared back into his own class, leaving Anne and Emily to discuss the clubs all over again. Taylor soon cut Anne off by placing a folded piece of paper into Emily's hands with a quivering voice.
"E-Emily I think you better take a look at that..." Emily quickly unfolded the paper and dropped it to the floor. It was a threat.
"Stay away from Samantha or so help me I will beat the shit out of you! I don't care if I have a crush on you anymore, just stay away from her!" Emily picked the piece of paper back up and angrily tossed it into a nearby trashcan.
"I'm going to lose my mind, Anne. I just don't know what to do anymore!" Emily cried, laying her head on Anne's chest. Anne patted her head and hugged Emily in an attempt to calm her down.
"I'm sure she didn't mean to be so violent, but just in case we better try to avoid her at all times." Anne replied with a hint of dishonesty. Emily didn't answer and instead headed back to her own locker with Taylor, Anne, and Jane right behind her. As soon as she opened the door, multiple papers fell to the floor, each with different hand writing than the last.
"They are all... Threats, but they aren't from Rocky nor Jordan from what I can tell..." Jane said, unfolding a few at a time. Every paper had the same sort of message on it. "Why are you the only one getting these, Emily?" She asked, handing a note done in red ink.
"Thanks for upsetting Rocky, Emily. You will pay for this!" Taylor mocked the message. Emily sighed, tossing the paper away before she slammed her locker, full of threatening letters, closed.
"Look, I'm going to head to class... See you guys later..." Emily said, walking away without listening to what they had to say. Anne reached out and grabbed ahold of her arm before she got too far and pulled her towards herself.
"Hey, I'm here for you. Please Emily, stop trying to handle everything by yourself! I'm here for a reason! Depend on me for once..." Emily stopped and turned back to Anne who was now trying to smile at least. Without replying, she grasped Anne's hand and intertwined their fingers together and smiled. They stood there for a few seconds, gazing into each other's eyes before laughing and butting their heads together to whisper back and forth.
"What would I do without you?" Emily asked. Anne chuckled quietly and pecked Emily on her cheek before releasing her from her grasp and backing away slowly.
"I wouldn't want to know, after all my purpose being here is solely because of you, Emily." The two smiled, walking in opposite directions to their designated class.
