" Why are you always so distant Emma ? Do you not like me? I thought we were friends ." James says with a distressed expression plastered across his face after I not so successfully dodged him after class . I stare at him dumbfounded whilst I process his words and think of a reply. Why does he ever care if I'm being distant ? He clearly doesn't need me in class. " Me? Distant? I don't think so "I say plainly and begin to walk away. I don't know why I was so affected by him spending time with her but I am and I have no logical explanation for it. All I know is that every time I see her fluttering around him like a moth drawn to a flame I feel this weird uncomfortable pit in my stomach and I don't like it one bit.
"Emma wait, please talk to me.." I hear James plead and instantly my heart melts. He has this weird power over me with which he can change my mood in seconds. " talk to you about what James? Why don't you ask miss giggly blonde over there to talk to you instead?" I say immediately regretting my words. Oh no, someone tell me how to take it back. Emma breathe in, breathe out. Inhala, exhala. " is this what this is about?" James says with an amused look , "you're jealous, aren't you? I didn't know you cared for me too." What is he ever talking about ? How dare he just assume I care about him. Wait a minute did he just say 'too'? I pause for a few long second collecting myself before I hesitantly say ," I'm not jealous of anyone , I'm just giving you some friendly advise.' My attempt at trying to cover up turns out to be a total failure and my words just make his triumph smirk spread wider across his face
"You think I don't get jealous when you're sitting with that jerk styles? Why do you think I entertain Meghan's annoying voice anyway? It's to distract me from the fact that you're sitting close to him and not me. James says whist rubbing the back of his neck nervously with that trade mark smirk of his still plastered across his face. The same smile that could make my worst day better. I really don't know how to react at this point. Am I supposed to say something? Right now all I want to do is jump up and down with excitement and stare at that gorgeous face of his. James parekerson actually likes me!
I find myself looking straight into his eyes staring into those green pools, mute. I have so much to say but I can't bring myself to and i'ts frustrating me. After a few more seconds I finally say, " nice talk. Got to go, bye. " even as I spin around on my heel ready to sprint in the other direction I can see James smirking from the Conner of my eye. He catches hold of my hand and pulls me backward making my back bang against his hard chest. I wince from the sudden clash and he bends a bit lower so that his mouth is in line with my ear. I hear his whisper in a low grim voice, a very sexy one I wont disagree," I'll wait for you Emma Wilson, I'll wait for as long as it takes ." He lets go of my hand giving me the opportunity to leave. I walk away with slow and small steps. I am so smitten, James Parkerson has me bad.
I can see Kiara and leah approach me with curious eyes ,waving their hands desperately in front of my face bringing me me out of my daze. "Charles told us about your little conversation with James. Thats all every boy has been talking about. Tell us the details , now!" My face lights up as soon as I here the name James. Yeah, he does that to me now. I tell my two best friends all about what happened and what James said and did. They listen intently with doe eyes , their hands hands supporting their faces whilst they watch me talk. They are clearly as excited as I am, if not more. This is why I love my girls.
