History Repeats Itself [ON HOLD]

^oops crappy title sorry :(

I had a shit ton of homework to do.

You would think they would ease it up, you know?

It was also obvious people were talking about me, wondering who the new girl was, and why she was so close to popular people already.

My dad had decided to pick me up from school, just for the first few months he said. But it'll probably only end up being the first day only.

Dropping me off at home, he says, "I'll just be around to check to see if there are any nearby tracks around here. Stay safe, Em."

Yes, my dad is the Richard Anderson. Car racer, winning more than 40 competitions in his lifetime. Correction, illegal car racer.

He's also been in jail a few times, which caused my mother to cheat. Which is why I hate her.

My dad's not a bad guy, he's just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He loves car racing, and loves the thrill of doing it illegally. Hell, he's even taught me how to race.

Although the tracks are dangerous, he often brings me too, but just keeps me close. He also has his own bodyguards, well, had. In fact, Uncle John used to be one of them.

Not wanting to think more about him, I drift back into the real world, and decide to finish up my homework.

"Hey, I'm back," my dad says, and I immediately tell something is off.

"Did you find any nearby tracks?" I ask, questioning him.

"I few. I'm tired, so I'll probably be going to bed now. Good night," my dad goes up to his room, gently closing the door behind him. As he walks past me, I get a whiff of perfume?

Why would my dad smell like perfume? Is he cheating? Did he come from a one night stand? A one night stand would happen during the night, Emma, come on. Oops.

I decide to let it go, and get ready for bed.

It's currently 2am, and I can't fall asleep.

Thoughts keep coming and going, with so many questions in my head.

New beginning, clean slate. Come on, Emma, you have one more year of high school, and then you're free to do whatever you want.

Suddenly, my phone lights up, notifying me I got a text message.

Unknown: you awake?

Unknown: this is Jax, btw

Um, why the hell does Jax have my number?!

Jax: Mia gave me your number, and trust me, it didn't take a lot of convincing ;)

Ugh, what an annoying prick.

Emma: I don't want you to have my number, Jax

Jax: so you are awake!

Emma: good night.

Jax: aww, i'm touched. Sweet dreams to you too, baby

Ew, baby?? When did we start doing nicknames?

Emma: baby??

Jax: yes? ;)

Emma: I meant more like "why the fuck would you call me baby" type of thing

Jax: ooh feisty, I like it. What name do you prefer?

Emma: wow, going out on a limb here, but maybe Emma?

Jax: I feel like I'm special enough that I can call you special names ;)

Emma: you're not.

Jax: why not :( and Emma is boring

Excuse me?

Emma: that's my name you're talking about

Jax: har har you know that's not what I meant

God, he was annoying.

Emma: you're annoying, so I'm going to sleep now. Good night.

Jax: alright, babygirl. Sweet dreams

Ugh.

I don't bother correcting him, and decide to just leave him on read. Yet, somehow, I fall asleep with a huge grin on my face.

"I can't believe you betrayed me like that," was the first thing I told Mia when I came into my first period.

"What are you talking about?" she giggles innocently, definitely knowing the sin she's done.

"Why the hell would you give Jax my number??" I roll my eyes, and add "plus Olivia might be mad."

This time, she rolls her eyes, and says "umm hello?? It's so obvious Jax likes you! Plus, why are you caring about Olivia?? She's a bitch." Surprised by her own words, she slaps her hand against her mouth, and muffles "don't tell her I said that."

I stifle a giggle, but reply "she does kind of have a bitch attitude," I agree, but say "that doesn't mean you could give Jax my number! I don't like him!! He's annoying!!"

"Um, and hot as hell, so you're welcome sweetie," she concludes, smiling down at me.

"So why don't you go chase him? Unless there's another special someone??" I question, raising an eyebrow.

Mia nervously bites her lip and mumbles, "It's not like he'll like me back anyway."

"Honey, I may love shopping, but I'm not buying your bullshit. SPILL!" I squeal, so excited for Mia to share her crush.

Of course, it's right at this moment when Mr. Walter decides to shush everybody, which makes Mia silent again.

"Don't worry, I'll pry it out of you later," I grin, whispering to her, while she just rolls her eyes, but smiles.

// yay more on Emma's backstory :)
