three

song of the chapter-
lost in you- khai dreams

~ethan~

emma, evan, and i get to the office and evan gets called in first. which gives emma and i alone time.

she's so beautiful— 'stop it ethan!' i say to myself, grabbing my phone in hope of finding some distraction from the beautiful brunette to my right.

"why did you do that?" emma asks out of no where.

because i love you... i want to say, but i know i can't.

"gray was in trouble." i say refusing to look at her, knowing i'll crack because of that tiny skirt.

"any excuse for a fight right?" she says.

are you kidding me? is that what she thinks of me? yeah i get into fights a lot! only if she knew the real reason.

"i don't start fights okay? i only finish them." i say, now making eye contact with her. her ice blue eyes are so mesmerizing, i could stare at them all day.

she lets out a slight laugh.

"and besides," i continue turning back to my phone, "no one should treat a girl like that. especially if that girl's you"

~emma~

my heart starts to flutter a million miles an hour. did he really mean that? does he feel something too?

"me?" i question.

"yeah. it's like those guys who try to get in my little sisters pants, which is super gross."

okay, moment ruined.

never great to hear your childhood crush say it's super gross in your pants.

"you know, you have zero experience with guys. you've never even had a boyfriend!" he says out of no where.

yeah because i'm in love with you...

"whatever!" i say.

"wearing a skirt like that, is asking for it!" he continues.

i cant help but gasp in disbelief. "seriously?! you want to go down that road?!"

he takes a moment to think about what i just said. i know there's no luck in guessing what goes on in the mind of ethan dolan.

"nah," he says. "i just played the sexist conversation out in my head—and it always ended with me sounding like a dick." he smirks, and looks back down at his phone.

huh, i'm sorta relieved. i don't think that would have ended well for either of us.

i cant help but smile though, because that smirk just always gets me going in a good way.

suddenly i hear the door click open and my anxiety is back. the principal walks out with evan behind him. his face was already bruising. he looks straight at me and i cant help but be disgusted.

"miss chamberlain." the principal says. and i get up and walk into the office, knowing exactly what ethan's staring at.

i walk into his office and take a seat right in front of his desk. i know evan sat hear last because i can see the blood stains on the back of the chair. i sit up near the end of the chair so my clothes don't get stained.

"first of all," he starts, "that skirt is ridiculous!"

"my pants ripped! this is all i had!" i say trying not to sound too much like a brat.

"what about your back ups?"

here we go..

"my other pants are at the cleaners and yes these are my backup-backups!"

"okay no need to get hostile miss chamberlain! but unfortunately you do have to be sent to detention after school tomorrow."

what?! i've never been to detention! that's going to be on my record forever! oh my god, what is my dad gonna say?!

"b-but my record..—" i start.

"don't worry about it miss chamberlain. i know you're a good student. this was obviously an accident, just attend the hours of detention fully and i won't place it on your record." he says giving me a smile at the end.

oh thank god. i don't know if the real reason was because i was a good student or if it was because i was wearing a tiny skirt and was alone with him in his office..

"thank your sir but, do you think i can call my dad? he's supposed to be dropping off my pants that were at the cleaners."

"oh yes of course! while you do that i'll grab your detention slip!" he says pushing the phone towards me and getting up to search through his files.

today has been going by super slow. i'm grateful though because tomorrow i have the dreaded detention. i told gray everything and he said that evan and ethan had detention too. great.

it's now lunch time and i'm sitting at my usual lunch spot waiting for gray, when suddenly the most popular girls in school sit right in front of me.

"oh my god! how crazy was that fight?!" olivia says to me.

"umm.." i start.

"e was so savage!" caroline interrupts.

"have you made out with him yet?" amanda adds.

these three super popular girls were sorta a package deal. they went everywhere with each other. every guy in school wanted to date them, but they only wanted ethan.

i sit there super confused as they talk about ethan more. i have no idea why they are sitting with me.

"oh my god," amanda starts, "i would totally have babies with ethan! one girl and one boy. but not at the same time though."

they all laugh and it's the perfect unison of choirs.

"yeah...you don't really get to choose the gender so much.." i say with hope that they'll stop talking about ethan.

"i hear he's into blondes. too bad em!" olivia says. she's not even a natural blonde! she freaking bleached it over the summer thinking it helped with her diet.

"give me your number! we should hang out soon!" caroline says out of the blue.

"oh sure it's 310-.."

suddenly her phone rings.

"oh my god!" she says and shows olivia and amanda.

"gotta go em!" she says. "there's a shemergancy in the locker room."

"oh okay.." i say disappointed that i was so close to popularity.

"sorry it didn't work out with you and ethan," amanda redirects my attention, "guess it just wasn't meant to be."

ouch that hurt. why were they talking to me in the first place? i'm so confused.

suddenly i see grayson speed walking towards our table.

"did you just see that?!" i say

"what just happened?! was that caroline? did caroline ask about me? did you talk to her about me? em come on give me a chance!" he says with no spaces in between sentences.

"then give me a chance to talk gray! damn it was like you were quoting your novel about your fat crush on caroline!"

"what the hell are you talking about?" he says

i stare at him with that 'are you fucking serious' look.

"what?!" he says like he has no idea what i'm talking about.
