"So.." Kj asked
"What were you and Jordan doing in there?"

"Emily and I weren't doing anything, just talking." Jordan explained for me.
"Oh come on I've know Emily for so long. She's boring when she talks. You wouldn't be able to stand her for that long. So what were you guys really doing?"Lili questioned again

"Nothing."
"Nothing." We said at the same time

"Ohhh. So the love birds are hiding something."
"Drew, just leave it man." He tried to reason

"Did you guys kiss?" Vanessa asked

"No, Vanessa. Why does it matter what we were doing? It's not anyone's business!" I snapped at the group

"Sorry Em, you two are just so cute." Cole stated
"Okay. That's it." I started walking ahead of the group, not wanting to tell anyone what we were really talking about.

"Emily!" Lili called

I don't think I've ever turned around so fast. "You guys want to know what we were talking about?! Huh?" I looked at her dead in the eye.

"Em, you don't have to.."
"No, Jordan. I do, since everyone's so curious. Right? Well guess what we were talking about! I was just telling him how my ex boyfriend cheated on me."

"Emmie" Lili only calls me that when she knows I'm mad at her or really sad. So,it isn't something I hear so often.

"We're sorry, Emily." Vanessa looked down. I hate that I yelled at them but I was just so frustrated. The girls have been pushing a relationship with Jordan for days.

"Just forget it."

-------

After all of the yelling, I walked away from everyone and found myself waiting in the lunch line alone.
I was already late for filming Madison and Sweet Peas scene but I didn't care, the producers have delayed it for days anyway. A few of the extra's that were around set told me that everyone was looking for me. Clearly they weren't doing a great job; if anyone wanted to find me, the first place to look would be a snack table.

"Hey kiddo."
I looked up and saw Mädchen and Marisol. "Hey" I smiled

"You know, everyone is looking for you."

"Roberto said that if you do the scene then you can go home right after." Mädchen tried to persuade me

"I'm not scared to do the scene. I'm fine with it. It's just that the girls are... I don't even know it's stupid."

"You know what isn't stupid? The fact that Jordan yelled at everyone and told them when you are found, they have to apologize. He is very protective of you." Marisol pointed out.
"Let's get you to set to finish that scene." She winked

"Can I take the pretzels and goldfish crackers?"

"Of course, honey."

"Oh thank god!" Jordan ran and picked me up wrapping his arms around me.
"Well are we going to film or not?" I smiled
"Are you okay?"
"We can talk later." I whispered to him.
He put me down and started walking to Roberto "We're ready."

"Alright. Places everyone! Let's get this show on the road!" Roberto announced

As we were saying our lines, Jordan's smile was evident.

"I'm Sweet Pea.. and who might you be, princess?" He winked

"She's my sister, asshole." Kj was enjoying this too much.
" and she's my ..I don't know ... never mind." Charles opened the door wider so he could speak.
"Okay. But when can I call her mine." He looked at me up and down.

The lines that were written for me were things that I was way to shy to actually say in real life, but I had to pull out the best acting skills I had.

"Anytime you want, babe."

"Cut!" One of the producers yelled
"That was awesome Emily!"

"Thanks Kj, and I'm sorry for yelling. It wasn't fun to scream at my 'brother'." I smiled
"It's alright, sis. If you ever need anything I'm here. So is everyone else. I love you kid."

I was so happy to hear that even though my guard is always up, there were people who were trying to take it down for the better.

"This is the last scene of the day let's made it a good one." Jordan said

"We are going to finish off with the Bulldogs vs. Serpents fight at the end when Madison saves Pea." Roberto explained
"Got it."

"Scene three, episode nine, take one. Rolling!"

"Go help out your brother."
"What the hell do you mean? He started this mess! And plus I don't want to leave you." I whispered the last part.

"Madison, I punched and kicked your brother. Why are you here with me and not him?" Jordan questioned. Damn he was a good actor.

"I like you. Okay? When we danced at Pops and after when you left on your motorcycle, you were all I thought about. You still are. I know you're a Serpent... but so is juggie. He hasn't hurt me and I'm positive you won't either. Your from the south side and I'm a north sider. But who gives a shit? I only want you."

It was coming and I was so nervous.
What if I bite his lip on accident? What if he pulls away because I'm not a good kisser?

All of these thoughts were running through my mind and then I heard him say his line. "I want you too."

He looked down to my lips and I looked at his.
They were so kissable.

This was it. Now or never.
He went for it.

When our lips touched I wasn't thinking about anything else. It was like I was craving something. And the feeling? Pure bliss.

Something I've never felt before.

"Cut!"

He didn't stop.
I didn't stop.
Everything else did.

"Cut!"

A few seconds later he pulled away and smiled at me. "Not bad Em, not bad."
Clapping was heard from all around us.
"Was that acting? Or was it real?"
"Watch it, Mendes!"
"Nah, I'm good." Camila winked

Before I would walk away, an arm tugged me back.
"So uh Emily..?" He started to scratch the back of his neck.
"Yeah, Jordan?"
"How about that date?"
