Reflection (magcon)

Chapter 4 (unedited)

Emerald's POV

4 weeks later...

Brandon and I have been texting back and forth for the past weeks and I'm sure that were already friends. Let's see, Jack and I are closer than ever.

Dior has been close with Taylor and Alexander lately, but I could tell 3 other boys aren't amused by it. Matthew, Cam, and Shawn.

It's so obvious that they all like her, and I'm concerned. She has to choose one of them.

Brenda's still a bitchy skank, and so are her friends. Their names are Miranda and Dina.

I introduced Mahogany to the guys and now we are all great friends. They're not so fond about Brandon and Alex but they respect us being friends with them.

"Emmie!" A voice shouted.

I looked over, and Brandon was at the end of the hallway. He had a big smile on his face.

I walked over with my backpack slung to one of my shoulder.

"Hi," I hugged him.

"Hey, " he hugged me back

"Um. Emerald..so. It's been a few weeks now and.." He stammered. He was nervous I could tell.

"Just spit it out,"

"We've been getting to know each other. And I-I-I think it's a perfect time to...ask you to go out with me?"

I was taken back, I mean I don't really like dating my close friends..

"Sure, why not,"

"Great!" He smiled and hugged me. I'm sure that there was something off about that smile...

Dior's POV

"We've been getting to know each other. And I-I-I think it's a perfect time to...ask you to go out with me?"

"Alex..your my close friend,"

"Please Dior, this means everything to me,"

Okay, what the hell how can this simple thing mean everything to him.

"Fine, "

He hugged me tightly, and gave me a smile, but I knew that the smile was different, it was fake.

I shrugged it off and hugged him back.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here." Johnson interrupted.

4 boys looked quite pissed, maybe it's because they didn't really like Alexander.

"Oh. Haha. Um.. Me and Alex. Just."

I kept stammering, not knowing what to say. I mean they pretty much hated him.

"Are you guys going out. Tsk tsk tsk. Cameron isn't going to like that." Nash shook his head.

"What do you mean,"

"Come on Dior," Alex pulled me.

"No, wait. Nash what do you mea-"

Emerald's POV

The bell rang for the third time indicating the students that classes can be dismissed. Grabbing my book bag I walked over to Dior's seat.

She was putting her pink and black coloured pens back in her pencil pouch.

"Hey you ready?" I rested my hand on her brown chipped desk.

"Actually I'm going to a date,"

"Dior, damn. My little baby is going on a date."

"Actually...Emerald I'm older than you."

"Whatever, but yeah. I'm going on a date too,"

"No fucking duh. With Brandon?"

I nodded.

"You with Alex?" She shrugged.

"He's cute."

"Let's ask them if we can go to a double date,"

"Yea, I'm texting him"

Dior typed some shit in her phones, it was quite a blur. Damn that girl can type.

"He said 'Kay, we were planning the same thing'."

"Well, I guess it's set," I said while shrugging.

We walked out of the English class.

Dior's POV

Alex had his arm over my shoulders, honestly I never felt more awkward in my life. We are currently walking to the movie theatre across the block.

Ugh, this is so cliche. Alex might be cute but he's just a friend.

We are going to watch a scary movie, crap. I don't do these scary movies shit.

I found a seat relatively close to the back but not that far back off. There were adults and teens all over.

"Hey over here," I whispered loudly.

I sat in the middle of Emerald and Alex. Beginning to eat the popcorn, fear pulling to the pit of my stomach. Shit I knew this was a bad idea.

I snuggled closer to Emerald, covering my face on her right shoulder but one of my eyes were looking slightly.

She chomped on the popcorn, her hazel eyes glued to the screen.

After gory and bloody scenes later I knew it wasn't that scary. I just kept playing with the popcorn and looking at my lavender almond nails.

I could tell Emerald was too, well the fact that she kept playing with my peplum ruffle on my pale peplum strapless top.

"Hey wanna leave?"

"Yea, this is basically the worst thing ever, it's not even scary,"

I looked over to the two boys, they were so interested. We definitely don't have the same interests. I'd rather be watching Alicia Silverstone being all sassy in Clueless.

"Guys, my parents are calling. We better head off," Emerald lied.

They just nodded not even bothering to look at us.

I rolled my eyes annoyed.

I'm sure this 'relationship' won't ever work out.

1 week later.

He's my first boyfriend, and I never really experienced it but I think I'm in love with Alexander Boyce.
