The Unexpected

Chapter 21

(EMMA'S POV)

It's been a few weeks since school started. Daniel and I's schedules have been so hectic that we don't even have the time to FaceTime each other anymore. With project deadlines and exams coming up, it's even hard to find time for myself.

Daniel, on the hand, have been busy recording their album. They've been in the studio day and night trying to make it perfect for the fans. I've been pestering him to let me listen to some of the songs, but he said he'll let me listen to it when it's ready. Wonder when that will be?

Our relationship have been getting public lately. With that, I've gained loads of followers in the past couple of weeks and people even started making "fan accounts" for me. I feel flattered.

One of the downsides of dating someone who's known is that there will always be people who will not accept you. These people who you don't even know will dig up everything about you just so they can use anything against you.

The other day, I read some rumours that I cheated on my "ex-boyfriend" to be with Daniel. That is funny cause Daniel's my first boyfriend. I've never been good with talking to guys so when Daniel came to my life, it's a little shocking for me honestly.

I haven't really talked to the boys yet. I suppose they know about me and Daniel since the news is all over social media.

When I went back to school, no one knew about us except Ali. People were ignoring me as always. I've always been invisible in school which I'm totally okay with. They go on about their lives and I do the same. However, when the news got around that someone in our school is dating a Why Don't We member, I started to get scared. Soon enough, people found out that it was me. They started saying hi to me in the halls and talking to me about Daniel.

Some fans, or limelights they call them, in school were happy for me. Some, however, weren't. They would glare at me as if I've done something wrong. I'm just glad that I'm graduating in a few months so I don't have to deal with these people any longer.

The fact that I'm off to University at the end of the year scares me. I've applied to a couple of Universities before I left for Paris so I have yet to hear from them. So far, I applied to UCLA, FIT, University of Washington, and a couple other more. I've always wanted to study in the US, since I have family there so I won't feel too homesick. But now, I have more reasons why I want to move.

Today's Friday. This week felt like it was dragging so I'm glad that it's finally over. I got home and went to my room, threw my bag on the floor and just laid on my bed.

I had no mood to do anything but to sleep. I wasn't even in the mood to shower but I had to force myself since my uniform smelled like sweat.

After my mini concert in the shower, I got dressed, did my skincare, blew dry my hair and just knocked out to bed.

(DANIEL'S POV)

The boys and I have been in the studio all day long for the past couple of weeks. Writing, recording and all that stuff. I gotta say, it's been fun. Our dreams of making music and getting people to hear it is finally coming true. It still seem so surreal for us.

Emma and I have only been texting each other since it's so hard to find time for us to call. What she doesn't know, is that I have a surprise for her birthday coming up.
