Jax P.O.V

I walked in school at 7:50 a.m and waited at my locker which I switched with Andi again. Emma's locker is right next to mine so, I am just waiting until she gets here.

3 minutes later

I waited but suddenly I heard Andy's voice, and since they walk to school together, I know that she is with Emma. As they walked closer towards the locker I tried to pretend as if I am looking for a book. "Well, Andi next time you can come over if you don't want to go there again" Emma said and went to open her locker. Right before opening it she greeted me.

"Hey Jax, isn't this Andi's locker?" she asked me. "Well, it was and now her locker is--"

Before I could finish, Andi cut me and said, "Way on the other side of the school?" I nodded with a mishcevious smile. She sighed and said bye to Emma as she headed for the other side of the school.

Now there is only me and Emma. Maybe I can make a move now?

"So Emma..." I said as I turned towards her and she was looking straight into my eyes and I was looking at hers.

Although, before I could finish my sentence, I saw that she diverted her attention to someone else behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Daniel walking towards us. What is he doing here? I thought they broke up.

"Hey Jax, I just want to let you know that we have practice after school today, so the Sharks will see you there, okay?" I nodded.

"Dani--" Emma tried to say but Daniel ignored her. She frowned and went to close her locker door.

"Emma, are you okay after what happened between you two? I mean it seems like Daniel doesn't really care at all now" I asked well, said to her? She stared at the locker and then looked up at me. She just nodded. "Are you sure?", I asked. "Yea, I just, yea".

She wasn't okay. She looked as if her entire world had fallen apart and she can't put all the pieces back together. I went on to continue what I was saying before.

"So Emma, do you want to meet up sometime today...and maybe eat out at the Seven? Not a date or anything, just to get your mind off of things that has been going on lately?"

She hesitated before giving an answer. "No" My heart sank. "Actually, Andi was coming over so I can't really go but you can come over, I mean would you want to?" she said and though still upset, I feel better.

"Yea, I would love to--I mean...yea like, if you insist." I screwed that up for sure. She laughed and I actually felt good seeing her laugh. She smiled and said, "Okay, I will be expecting to see you tonight at 7?"

"Yep, at 8...wait, I meant 6, no 7...yea 7" I lamely replied. She smiled and waved bye as she left for class.

What just happened? How do I get that nervous? I usually don't statter around her but now I am messin up every word in the world.

Emma's P.O.V

I am really glad that Jax is coming over. Why? I don't know, but whenever he is around I feel good and relieved, for some odd reason. I can't believe that I just got out of a relationship and being with Jax (a boy) makes me feel better. I walk into Math and await for the second bell.

Just seconds after the bell rings, Jax arrives (late) and takes the empty seat that is next to me. I smile and start copying down the notes. Jax nudges me on my arm and I look at him.

"You have a pencil?" Jax asks me in his softest and quietest voice. "I thought that you were a wizard, make one appear" I smiled and went back to copying the notes.

"But, I don't want to" he said. I gave him the most confused and annoyed look in the world. "What?" I asked.

"Please? I know I can make one appear but that's a lot of work" He said. What even is he saying?

"No. Get your own pencil" I said. "Besides you can't possibly be too lazy to use magic to get yourself a pencil."

He was about to say something until the teacger gave us directions to work with our partners (the person sitting next to us) and finish an assignment that is in our math books, so basically it means that we need to work together (teamwork) and an even simpler way of putting it, we get to talk and do almost nothing for a period. Although, we do have to hand it in tomorrow. As soon as she said this, there was a sudden uproar in the class, everyone intrigued in their own conversations.

I turned to Jax. "What were you going to say?", I asked.

"Its just that I can't seem to get my magic work, correctly. Look" he said as he casted a spell. The pencil appeared in his hand but suddenly turned into a flower bouquet.

He took the bouquet and handed it to me as he said, "For you, Emma". A smile spread across my face and for some reason I didn't get it,"Wait, are your powers really malfunctioning?" He shook his head. "What? Jax!" I punched him in the arm. I went back to my work.

"Wait, Emma", I turned to him. "Yea?" I half groaned my response. "So, you don't like the flowers?" He looked at me with his innocent eyes and then laughed a little.

"No, not anymore", I tried to hold back my smile but that didn't happen.

"Okay, then. These good flowers gone to waste but maybe I can give these beautiful flowers to Anna, she probably would like them. Am I right?" he asked. I knew what he wad trying to do, make me jealous. I am pretty sure it worked because I reacted way too weirdly, yea that's the word.

"No, those are mine and not hers" I said and snatched the flowers from his hands. He laughed and I didn't bother to look at him.

"Emma..." he couldn't continue because he was laughing. "Look" he said. I stared at my work. "Emma?" he said and I ignored him, with a blank expression on my face.

"Emma?", this time softer with not even a single laugh. I looked at him. His eyes were worried and you can also tell by his facial expression. Now, I laughed.

"It's okay, Jax" I replied trying to mock his tone and he looked at me, blushing. Okay, I was pretty much rolling on the ground, if you would say so.

"Huh, I can't believe I made Jax Novoa blush! Out of all people, Jax. You know, I am actually quite proud of myself" I teased and also laughed a little, as well. He looked at me and gave in as he smiled.

"Yea, Emma sure you did" he said.

"What? I did, I saw it!" I almost screamed.

"Okay, okay. Whatever you want me to believe" he teased and went on with work.

I went back to my work since I was not ready to fight anymore and then looked at the flowers. It was such a cute and lovely gesture. I held on to the flowers tigthly in my hand but not tight enough for it to hurt me. I looked at Jax the same moment he was looking at me and then we stared for a few seconds before I embarrassingly blushed and looked away.
