Undercover As A Nerd

Chapter 24

Emma's POV

"Come on Emma!! You are doing this solo tomorrow. Push through!!" Coach Flores was telling me as I did the solo Camila taught me. Usually Camila would do it, but she is sick so Coach thought it would be the best if I did it, even though Violet highly disagreed with Coach. I didn't care.

"And done." Coach says as the music ends.

"Coach, I think I would've done better." Violet sneers.

"Violet, I have said this multiple times already Emma is the best fit for Camila's dance." Coach says to Violet, she goes off storming.

"Now Emma go get some water then join the rest of the team for the team dance." Coach says to me. I nod and go over to my duffel bag grabbing my water and a quick bite of my granola bar. As Coach calls the rest of the girls to the mat I put my stuff back and head back over. We start off the mat and run on like we are at the competition.

"Let's go full out girls!" Coach says and starts the music.

My stunt group gets ready and they throw me up into the air. We go through the dance, putting in all our extra work. Halfway through the dance my stunt group goes to throw me in the air and I slip, I feel myself falling but I wasn't going to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me fall. Especially not Violet. So before I hit the floor I use my hands and do a back handspring. Standing the right way now, my stunt gets me into the air perfectly.

"And done. Emma amazing job at saving yourself, from that drop. Bases, you have to be on top of that though. We can't let her fall at the competition." Coach explains to the girls in my group.

"Alright girls practice is over." We all cheer and go towards the locker room. I go up to my locker which has a huge gold E on it. All the girls have one with their letter. Violet and Camila having captain and co-captain on it. Did I mention that my locker was next to Camila's? No? Well yea, since I have been here everyone is really nice and they are saying I'm already the best on the team next to Camila of course. I open my locker to see all the pictures that I already have of me and the girls. And a few of me and Camila alone. And of course one of Laura and them back in America. I grab my bag and keys, and leave the gym.

"Bye Emma. Remember competition next week!" Coach tells me as I walk out. I nod my head and walk to my car. As I get into my car I see a note on my windshield. Now I would've gotten out my car to get it but I didn't. You know why, because I watch YouTube videos and it could have been a trick. So I started my car and drove out the parking lot, as I got onto the street I saw a dark blue sports car behind me, following me. I wasn't 100% sure so I did what Noah and Laura taught me. When you get to a block, take 3 right turns, if the same car is following you, go to a very public crowded place. I did 3 right turns and the car was till following me. So I went to the cafe Camila's mom worked at. I put on my yellow and black sweater and and grab my duffel bag and get out the car. When I get out the car, I grab the note and rush into the cafe.

"Sorry, we are about to close for the day-" Camila's mom starts.

"Oh Emma. Hi, Camila isn't here." She says coming from behind the counter.

"I know Ms.Lopez, someone was following me. This is the best place I could think of. I didn't want to go home." I tell her. She nods and takes a deep breath. She fixes the sign to say that her cafe is open, and tells me to get behind the counter. She throws me a a apron skirt and a notepad with a pen. People start piling in, just quick info time, Ms.Lopez's Cafe, the actual name of the cafe, is very popular. As Ms.Lopez gets her some of her workers back I go through the cafe getting orders. That's when I see the sports car pull up. I finish taking down a order and go over to Ms.Lopez. I write down on a clean piece of paper that the person is here. She nods but doesn't let that stop her from doing work. I go along with her. I hear the bell jingle and automatically know it's the guy from the car.

"Table for two." He says. His voice raspy but sexy.

"Is this other person running late?" Ms.Lopez ask.

"No she is already here. Her name is Emma Summers." He says. His name felt right coming out his mouth.

"Sorry sir, there is no one by the name of Emma Summers." Ms.Lopez says.

"She is right there with the blonde hair." He says.

"Ms.Lopez I got it. The name is Emma Scarlet." I say to the man. I take him to a booth and he takes a seat.

"What would you like?" I ask him.

"Black coffee. French toast, sunny side up eggs, and turkey bacon." He tells me handing me the menu. I go and give Ms.Lopez's chef the order and walk back with his coffee.

"Sit with me." He says as I'm about to walk away. Ms.Lopez gives me a worried look paying attention but, catering to customers.

"Emma Summe-Scarlet, you have been claimed by me." He says a look of determination of his face.

"I, Emma Scarlet, has been claimed by no one. I am my own woman, plus I'm only 16, you look to be about 19. Your already a legal adult, when I am still only a teenager. The only person who has custody over me is my family." I say getting up out the booth.

"That's what you think slut." He says.

"What did you just call me?" I ask walking back to the booth, mind you I had a pot of hot coffee in my hand.

"I know you have been sleeping around. Nothing of mine is going to do that, so I must demand you stop." He says.

"I am not yours asshole! Get that through your head!" I tell him.

"You will not speak to me in that manner." He says grabbing me by the throat.

"Get your hands off me!" I yell at him. I throw the pot of coffee on him and punch him in the face his head snapping to the side. I grab my stuff and go outside, as I'm walking to my car I see his car. I put my stuff into my car and grab my keys. You probably know what I did. No? Well I keyed his car.
