- Melanie's pov -


"Fuck" I sighed, it's Thursday, almost Friday . I sit up in my bed and turn off the alarm. I can hear my step sister and her boyfriend Sebastian giggling in the room next to me. "Shut THE FUCK up" They got quiet and then burst out laughing again.

I'm very close with my step sister, neither of us have any other siblings and we've known each other for most of our lives. 3 years ago, my dad and her mom got in a car accident and since then it had been me and her and as of a 1,5 years Seb too.

"Good morning wonderful sister it's time to go to school" Zoe said in a posh voice walking past my room giggling. "Die" I muttered under my breathe and got out of bed.

I walked over to my closet and got a black The Cure t-shirt and black ripped mom jeans, I then grabbed a belt, a chain and some necklaces. I brushed my teeth and hair and then slapped on some makeup. I was running around trying to find my headphones when Sebastian walked in my room. "Goodmorning Mellie, Remington and Emerson are waiting downstairs". Mellie was a dumb nickname only Sebastian called me, he usually drives me and Remington to school since we go to the same school. "But.. why Emerson?" I asked. He never drives Emerson since Em goes to another school. "Well he's changing schools, the bullying has gotten worse at his old school and since you and him are in the same grade and you love me and Remington so much we thought he could transfer to your school. Plus Rem will be there for another year before he graduates." Seb answered. "HURRY" Rem screamed from downstairs. I grabbed my headphones and bag and went down with Sebastian.

It had been a few months since I last saw Emerson, Sebastian practically lives here and Remington is here quiet often too but Emerson never comes over. I looked at Emerson and he just gave me a quick look before he looked down at his shoes. "He's not a morning person" Remington whispered to me pointing at Emerson.

We all got in the car and Sebastian dropped us off. "Okay little brother, I have a test now but Melanie could probably follow you to the office and show you around, right?" Remington said and nudged my side. "Uh yeah sure, c'mon Emerson." Remington gave me a thankful look and walked off. Me and Emerson started walking, there was an awkward silence. "Uh, the office is right down there" I pointed down the hallway. "You don't have to do this, I'll find my way" Emerson said before quickly walking off without me.

I stood still looking after him but then shrugged my shoulders and started walking to my class.

I (barely) survived math, geography and english when it was finally lunch. I don't really have any friends so I usually go out behind the school gym and smoke during the lunch break.

I put on my headphones and walked over there when I turned around the corner I saw someone sitting there, at first I didn't recognize him but as soon as I got closer I saw it was Emerson sitting on the ground smoking with a sketch block in his lap. "Uh Hi." I said standing next to him. He looked up at me confused. "Oh I didn't think anyone would come out here." "Neither did I but here we are." I sat down besides him reaching in my pocket to find my cigarets. "Fuck, I must've forgot them when Seb called me." I muttered low. Emerson reached in his pocket and gave his pack to me. "You're a life saver thank you." He just looked at me and nodded. He looked down at his sketch book and I saw a little smile.

We sat there in silence for the rest of the break, Emerson drawing and me looking at my phone. I looked at the time. "Fuck we're late, we started 20 minutes ago, what class do you have now?" He looked nervously at me. "Uh.. uhm history with Mr Urie I think." "Well lucky me, me too. C'mon let's go" Omg I can't believe I just said that. I looked at Emerson and he was blushing like crazy, I felt my face get hotter. Then I started running with Emerson closely behind me.

We ran trough the hallways and finally got to Me Urie's classroom. I stopped outside catching my breath. I knocked on the door when Emerson catched up to me. "Uh sorry we're late" I said looking down when Mr Urie opened the door. "Ms Daniel sit down. And who might this be? Are you the new student?" He looked at Emerson as I went to sit down at the back of the class, everyone was starring at us. "Uh yeah, Emerson Barrett, sorry I'm late." "Well, I expect it won't happen again. Go sit down next to Ms Daniels since you two already seem to be aquatinted." Mr Urie said and closed the door behind Emerson. Someone whistled at us as Emerson sat down. I looked at Emerson, he was red like a tomato.

Me and Emerson didn't talk more that day and after two more classes I could finally go home. I walked outside the school to see Emerson smoking a bit down the street. I walked over to him. "Uhm, mind borrowing me one again?" I said and tapped his shoulder. "N-no, here." After a few minutes of silence I saw Sebastian and Remington walking over to us, not looking happy. "Oh shit they can't see me smoking." I dropped my cig and stepped on it. "What the fuck Melanie what have I told you about smoking" Sebastian said angrily. "Uh- uhm." I panicked. "It wasn't her, it was only me, the smoke was coming from me." Emerson said. I gave him a thankful look and he winked at me. "Okay, okay. Just go get in the car Melanie. I need to talk to my brothers." Sebastian said and nudged me against the car. I walked slowly and stood close enough so I could hear them talk but they didn't see me.

"Emersonnnn, what are you doing with a giiiiirl" Remington said in a teasing voice. "Lay off, I barely know her." Emerson said and looked down at his shoes. "Not just any girl, MY girlfriends step sister, you know she's like a sister to me I won't let you fuck her and then break her heart." "Are you dumb?I just talked to her because you forced her to walk with me and then we had one class together." Emerson said, he sounded really mad. "No Emerson we both saw how she looked at you when her and me came down this morning, she probably likes you. And you defiantly like her since you just gave the absolutely worse excuse to cover up for her." Sebastian said moving closer to Emerson. Emerson opened his mouth and then closed it again. "I'll walk home I don't want to see your dumb faces anymore." Emerson said and pushed his brothers out of the way, he saw me and stopped for a brief second. His face was red from embarrassment and his eyes blank like he was about to cry.

Sebastian and Remington turned around and saw me. They looked at each other. "Emerson I- I'm sorry I didn't know she was standing there." Sebastian said with a sad voice. Emerson looked at his brothers and then stormed off. The two brothers were now looking at me. "I-I uh I think-k I'll take the b-bus home." I stammered, I was so confused. "No don't be stupid come, I'm driving you home." Sebastian said and grabbed my wrist pulling me to the car. I've never seen Remington be so quiet for so long but I think he was just as confused as me, maybe even more. "I'll drop you off, I think me and Remi need to go home and talk to Em." Sebastian said, I just sat there quiet.
