Reflection (magcon)

Chapter 10

Emerald's POV

I stood there not knowing what to do. My lips trembled as the sentence repeated in my mind over and over again.

The bathroom door began to open and I was frozen in my spot.

Brandon eyes widened, but in a split second he looked calm and collected.

"Oh hey Emerald. You need to use the bathroom?"

Pain and anguish washed the feelings of pure surprise.

I realized that I was still standing there and he still thought nothing was wrong.

I pulled away from my place and dashed to the exit. Quickly opening the front door, my legs felt like jelly whilst I ran. Its like I was not controlling it.

I panted and took a break.

Where to hide. Where to hide.

I couldn't go back home. My parents will attack me with so many questions. I thought again..not Jack. Of course not Jack, after he tried to look out for me and save me from brandon's plan.

I didn't believe him. I even accused him of being a liar.

"Stupid..stupid!" I whacked myself in the head.

How could I have been such an idiot.

I thought of the only place I could go for now. The school.

I raced my way to the red bricked walls of Whidtmore and made my way inside. I was careful not to let anyone see me.

Standing outside the front of the girl's washroom door, I pushed it open and looked around. Hoping that there was no one here to see me cry.

As soon as I knew i was alone, I walked up to the blurry washroom mirrors. I looked miserable. I took an inhale and an exhale. As much as I fought through it, I couldn't control my tears.

I wiped my mascara smudged cheeks from the tears rushing out.

At this point, I pushed my emotionally drained body to the dingy stall at then end of the room. As quickly as I could I locked the stall, impatient to start crying.

My back slid on the walls of the tight stall and I covered my face on my hoodie sleeves.

Beginning to cry I couldn't help but to say to myself.

"Goodjob Emerald, you're now the biggest idiot of Whidthmore."

Jack's POV

"Ok detention is over, you are now dismissed."
Mrs. Warbler spoke in a monotoned voice.

She looked up ever so slightly from her cooking magazine to check if the class was leaving.

I screamed mentally, happy that my two hour jail time was over.

Even though I had to sit on a wooden chair for two hours, that sausage mcgrittle was so worth being late for Chemistry.

I smiled to myself as I walked out through the hallways and to the double doors to leave the school.

Spotting my Jeep, I pat my pockets for my keys.

"Fuck" I whispered as I realized my pockets

I lightly jogged back in the building, and to west side of the school.

I remembered I left my phone and key's in the boys locker rooms before going to basketball practice.

As I jog past the girl's washroom, I heard a familiar sobbing sound. My curiosity pushed me to walk inside.

I shook my head and decided to turn back, I like girls but going inside the girl's stalls will end me up in two month detention.

The moment I was about to go back where I was supposed to.

"Goodjob Emerald, you're now the biggest idiot of Whidthmore High." I heard

My back straightened and my breath hitched.

Emerald?

I took a step back inside the girl's washroom.

"Um Emerald are you okay..?" I choked out.

I heard her shuffling, almost like she stood up.

"Jack, is that you?" She sniffled.

"Yeah, I would come there right now but..I don't exactly know what you're doing."

Emerald stepped out of the stall and I looked at her.
Her dark brown hair was a mess, her cheeks we're red and so were her eyes. They were bloodshot.

She had her hand covering her nose and mouth, and even right now she still looked beautiful.

My first instinct was to hug her, so I did. I wrapped my arms around her torso and I squeezed her tightly.

She bursted out sobbing but hugged back.

I didn't say a word, but just put her up. I wrapped her legs around my stomach and her arms around my kneck.

"Jack what are you doing." She said, looking at me.

I carried her out, not saying anything.

Emerald didn't resist but just laid her head on my shoulder.

I walked to my car, still carrying her around my body. Opening the passenger door, I dropped her gently and she looked at me with confusion.

"Just trust me." I said while I buckled her seatbealt

She looked guiltily back at me and nodded.

Walking back to the drivers seat I sat down, staring at her. I started the engine and held her hand for the drive.
