Who Would've Known (S.M Fanfiction)

Chapter 38

Thursday goes on like usual. Nothing extraordinary happend, except for Jen finding a kitten in the streets and wanting to adopt him. Which I said no. But other from that, nothing. We woke up, we went to school, get back, do some homework, have dinner, watch Netflix, and then go to sleep. James hasn't shown up since Monday, I don't know if whatever he told Jen has to do with it, but I'm planning on talking to him, and find out what's going on between them. As for Shawn, he sent me a text on Thursday morning saying the following:

Hey Emma, I'm glad you saw that. And you're welcome, I owe it to you. And please don't be sorry, I deserved that. And sure as soon as I land on New York I'll give you a call. XX

Yeah, so there's that. And I guess that was all. Today Friday Jen and I went to college as usual, only this time we took my beetle to avoid cute animals on the streets. We go to our depicted classes, and now with my mind free of problems I pay the hell of attention. My page is doing great, sure I still get hate, but there's so many positive comments that the negative ones don't really matter now. When I'm finally free of clases I go sit at our table to wait for Jen. Jack is there using his phone, I sit in front of him and once he sees me puts away his phone.

"Hey!" I say putting my bag in front of me.

"Hey! How's your day going?"

"It's okay, I can't complain. Yours?"

"It's going fine, new projects were asigned today, and I have some homework to do, but it's okay."

"You see unlike you, I have the whole weekend for myself. No projects, no homework, nothing but me, my bed and Netflix all weekend. Jealous?"

"What do you think? Oh hey! I forgot to tell you, I just talked to the guy and he told me he'll meet you at the Olive Garden at 9."

"What guy?"

"The guy for your date tonight?"

Date? Which date? Oh my God! The date! I can't go now! Things are fine between Shawn and me.

"I totally forgot about it! And you know what, I forgot to tell you, but I won't be able to make it."

"And why is that?"

"I have homework?" I say with hopes he'll buy it.

"Oh really? You just told me you have nothing to do this weekend. There's nothing you can say that will get you out of this date."

"Come on Jack! Please I just don't feel like going."

"Emma come on! What's going on? I just talked to the guy and he's really looking forward to it."

"It's just.... My Brad Pitt and I fixed things between us. And now that we're okay, I feel bad about going on a date with someone else."

"That's great Ems. And about the date is just a date Emma. It's not like you're getting engaged. Look it's just a friendly date, you go, you meet him, maybe who knows, you like the guy and you end up together. Or you don't like and that's the end of the story."

"I know, but it still feels weird, and wrong."

"Why? You guys are just friends aren't you?"

"Weeell... When we got into the fight he kind of admitted he had a thing for me and I told him I had one too."

"Well I didn't know that... Look I'm not forcing you to do anything, it's up to you. But in my defense I set you up with a really nice guy, he's great, and I know him from a while now. So I can assure you he's not a creep. He just told me a while ago that he was really looking forward to the date. And look I told him to meet you there so you could take your own car. So if at some you feel awkward or you just wanna leave you have your car, and you don't depend on anyone. So it's your choice Emma." I stay quiet looking at him well he is right it's just a date. But what if Shawn finds out? How do I explain it to him? Well I can tell him it was just a date, and I was doing it as a favor to my friend? I don't know. Maybe I should avoid problems and just don't go. "Remember that time you said I owe you two Jack. That was a fun time wasn't it?" Jack says mimicking my voice and smirking at me. I roll my eyes at him and cross my arms.
