I do a dramatic hair flip and turn around to treat myself to the view of Adam's jaw touching the floor. Woah. Did I just leave THE ADAM CARTER speechless? Now that's a moment to behold. Cocking my head to a side, I try to gauge his reaction. He looks confused and...annoyed? to say the least. I feel like I won an award. Oh god, Emma you're so silly.

 I quickly takeout my phone and click a picture. The flash must have gotten him out of his trance because he speedily looks away and clears his throat. A soft giggle escapes me as I take a look at his photo. His face looks like that meme in which the lady is trying to figure out some difficult math formule.

"What? Cat got your tongue? I taunt as I brush pass him and walk towards a waving Josh. I excitedly greet him and animatedly tell him about how I forced Ryan into lending me his jersey. 

"Emma ma'am can I have your autograph? I'm a huge fan" Josh laughs as he pulls me in the seat beside him. 

"So what did you do with his jersey?" Josh whispers as if its some top secret. I let out a hearty laugh before placing my bag under my chair.

I  am about to tell him, but I feel a presence hover over me. Josh and I look up to see Adam standing there with an annoyed expression. Awee he looks cute. Wait. No shush. He looks decent. Ya that is better. 

 I bite my lip to control my laughter. Its feels marvelous to know that I get on his nerves too. Oh Emma, he is sure turning you into a sadist and its only been what ? 12 hours?

"That's my seat." He growls, crossing his arms. I try raising an eyebrow, but turns out I can't do it. Sad.  I think of giving him the classic 'is your name written here?' reply but Josh beats me to a better one.

" I'm sorry, do you not know that only the most popular people sit in the first row? You can seat yourself somewhere at the back." Josh maintains a poker face for about 2 seconds before bursting out of laughter. He raises his hand and I give him a high-five while catching my breath. The joke wasn't even funny. But you see, I feel at peace when I annoy Adam. 

Adam rolls his eyes and is about to sit in the seat next to mine but I think luck is not in his favour today. Jass who is talking on the phone and simultaneously searching something in her bag, sits down there with a thud.

Josh and I double up in laughter when we see him roll his head back and sport a 'why me?' expression. 

Jass cuts the call and slowly drinks in the situation around her. Her face goes from smiling to confused to shocked real quick. She springs out of her seat when she notices a standing Adam. "I'm so so so so so so so so so so-"

"Jass we get it, 'SO' to the power infinity. Move your train forward." Ro joins us.

Jass passes her a death glower and brings her attention back to the irritating crab. "Adam I'm so sorry. I didn't know this was your seat. And might I say you look extremely dashing in this white V-neck. And your hair-"
