Chapter 10- Team Ben

Emma's POV
What was supposed to be a day of fun actually turned into a day of chaos and unnecessary fights. It started before the football game, when I met Sam's sister.

I knocked on Sam's door but there was no answer so I just walked in only to see him in a towel. "Oh god, I'm so sorry." He just started laughing as I got all flustered and covered my eyes.

"You can uncover your eyes Em." I shook my head, feeling my face get hotter and hotter. "Nope. I'm sorry, uh your mom wanted me to tell you that your sister is here."

"Hey Sam, why don't you put some clothes on? We wouldn't want to scare this girl to death." I froze in my tracks. I know that voice. I've spent the last two years of my life hating that voice. I need to get out of here.

"I'll leave you two to talk then." I kept my eyes closed as I turned around, trying to escape. Stupidly, I managed to bang into the wall. "You okay Em?"

"Yup! Just peachy!" I uncovered my eyes and quickly darted out the door. I hope she didn't see me. What if she tells Sam who I am? What if she tells him what I did? This is just wonderful.

"What are you doing here Kat? I thought you were getting settled in!" He sounded excited, I rolled my eyes at the sound of her chuckling. "You didn't think I was going to miss your last homecoming game did you? Besides, mom told me you were nominated for king this year and I couldn't miss out on that."

"It's not that big of a deal-"

"Oh come on! Everyone knows that if you win, you're practically high school royalty. I remember when I won homecoming queen my junior year, that basically paved the high school path for me." Yeah and paved the stairway to hell for me.

"I'm sure it didn't have that much of an effect."

"So do you have a date?" She teases, he grunts and chuckles. "You don't give up do you?"

"Nope. Now you're obviously crushing on someone so spill." I didn't hear anything from then on because I was interrupted by Ellie. "Whatcha doing?"

"Nothing. Let's go play." She smiled and skipped over to her room. "Where's Ethan?"

"He's at his friend Connor's house because he didn't want to go see Sam play. I'm so excited that Kat is home! Now we can all play barbies together!" I don't think so.

I just put on a fake smile and nodded. "Yeah maybe."

"I can't wait to get older like you guys and get dressed up. You're going to look so pretty in your dress! Can I tell you a secret?" She questions innocently, I nod. She gestures for me to come down to her level. "Sam likes you!"

She giggled as I smiled. "Can I tell you a secret?" I reply, she nods fast. "I like him too. But shhh, our secret okay?" I stick out my pinky, she nods. There was a knock at the door.

"How's my favorite sister!" It was her. We quickly locked eyes and a look of sadness spread across her face. I got up and ran out. "I'll catch up with you later okay Ellie?"

"Emma Wait!" I wanted to run but I realized that I had nowhere to go, I had been staying in her room and that is exactly where I ran off to. I grabbed my bag and started shoving my clothes inside. "You don't have to worry about me Kat, I'll go."

"Look I've had my time to think about what went on in LA and I wanted to apologize." I couldn't help but laugh in her face. "You do realize that you made my life a living hell right? And it's only going to get worse if I say here so I'll be leaving now."

"You don't have to go-"

"Oh I don't? I've made a good life here in the past month, and I'm not about to waste that by having you spill your guts to Sam about everything!"
