Diablo and Emma

Chapter 1

Graduation Day

Emma's POV

I am 23 a year old woman who cannot decide whether to be elated or sad. Today is one of the best and worst days of my life. This is a huge achievement for me. I have worked very hard for this and given up quite a lot in the process.

I am one of a handful of students that will be graduating today with a double major from NYU. An MBA combined with a MS in Accounting, and my parents will not be here to see it.

C'est la vie.

I get dressed in plain black trousers, white button up blouse and my flat black shoes with minimal make-up.

My long black hair cascading down my back with a curl here and there almost reaching my ass. Sometimes I feel like cutting it because styling it is such an irritation but Carly, my best friend keeps saying it is my best feature.

Carly and I met at Uni, she is my age and barely graduating today. She absolutely loves to party and hates studying. Her parents are super rich, God knows what they do but whatever she asks for, she gets.

Whatever Carly does she does with great gusto, whether it is partying or picking the right outfits boy oh boy she nails it. Today is no different. She is dressed in a sleek, very short black cocktail dress with extremely high heels. As always all the men's eyes will be on her once she takes off the graduation gown.

I sound like a very jealous friend but I am truly not. I know I have charisma, or so I have been told but Carly, she makes heads turn.

"Carly we have to leave, we are going to be late for our own graduation for goodness sake"

"Coming B. She decided to call me a snobbish bitch after we first met but decided that it is too long to pronounce, every time she spoke to me, now it is just B, short for bitch-said with love of course, or so she says.

We grab our handbags, caps, gowns and run to her black BMW M3.

"Punch it Carly, we are going to be late!"

Carly did not need to be told twice. She always drives like a maniac and I permanently scold her like a mother hen but I do not want to miss anything today.

We are meeting our friends Rick, Cody, Mario and Carly's current fuck buddy Cashè at the ceremony. We decided long ago that it is best to have mostly guy friends. What can I say, women can be bitches sometimes we are full of drama and backstabbing if something doesn't go our way. Carly is sassy enough for ten women and her aura screams confidence. I know coming from little prissy old me it sounds hypocritical but our little click works like a well oiled machine. If one of the guys meets someone we are always polite while it lasts but it never does. Let's just say they are all players and both Carly and I had to step in on more than one occasion as a fake "new" girlfriend in order to help the guys get rid of them. Fuck them and leave them - that's their motto.

On the drive to the ceremony Carly decides to touch up her make-up as per usual swerving left and right as she goes. Luckily I am used to it by now.

After twenty minutes, which seems like an hour with her almost killing us twice, we finally arrive at the campus.

Neither I nor Carly could find the guys so we decide to just take our seats as the ceremony was about to start in anyway and just meet up afterwards.

We had planned to meet up at our Condo at 6pm for drinks and snacks before going to a club to celebrate our graduation. I hate parties never mind clubs. I can count the amount of times I partied and went clubbing on one hand, juggling a double major and part-time work and all. I know deep down that these were just excuses for me to stay at home and study.

I am so deep in thought that I almost miss my name being called "Emma Taylor, MBA and a MS in account" I block out the remaining words the Chancellor was saying because I hate any form of attention on me. I went on stage, literally grabbed my degrees and stormed off the stage.

Carly being Carly made sure all eyes were on her and flaunted her flawless beauty.

We met at her BMW after the ceremony shrieking in excitement that we finally graduated, got in her car and drove to the mall to go shopping for our dresses for tonight.

This was going to be a long ass day, I loathe shopping more than I do clubbing.
