I am sorry I did not continue due to college stuff but I am back and hopefully will be writing daily.
I promise..
Hope you'll like this part.
I enjoyed writing this one because1. It's been long since I wrote something.
2. This part shows a cute friendship thing going on which I love the most about Emily and Lola.***
Chapter 13:
Emily's P.o.v:
It was hard for me to sleep that day. Thinking about what happened the other day, " Should I have done things differently?" I ask myself.
My phone is ringing. Whyyyyy.. I let it ring but it is the third time someone's calling me. Who's that stubborn. This better be because someone is dying.
I look at the caller display, it's Lol. Of course, it is her.
I pick it up and start, "Is someone dying?"
She replies fast, " No, what. Why? Did you do something? Oh my god, you did not.. Em tell me you didn't.."
I cut her off, " Geez dude. Calm your horses. You called me a gazillion times, which is why I asked that. What is wrong with you?"
She's relieved. I can tell. "Girl, are you trying to give me an attack? I thought you killed one of those monster guys."
Woahh hold on, she thinks I could kill someone? Seriously?!I'm highly upset, "Wait. You think I could kill someone? Really? Why?"
As soon as I complete my questions, she starts, "I mean I didn't think you could punch him, but you did so and must I add Pretty hardddd."
This is getting annoying by every second.
"So, you think if I can punch someone, in the spur of the moment, I can kill too?",
I'm surprised and annoyed at the same time I say this.
"Well..." she starts but I don't let her end it because i know this is going to make it worse.
"Just tell me what it is."
" Oh yeah. It's time for school. You should wake up and get ready," she says.
I look at the clock, " Dude, it's 5:00. In the morning. 5 o'clock. We have an hour before we leave for school."
She is hesitant but she speaks anyway, "
Dude, if you don't remember, we don't have something or anything to ride on. And my mom doesn't know yet. She can't know about the bikes. She'll panic. She'll kill me. We have got to fix this."
I almost forgot about that. Oh god. I keep thinking to myself.. what next. What next disastrous thing is going to happen.
Lol speaks," Umm, Em? You there? Just get ready by 5:30, we'll hopefully get a bus."
I nod but then I remember I'm on call, " I'm sorry I nodded. I'll be ready. See you there."
I can hear her giggling. And I hang up.5:12 am
I'm almost ready but I can't stop myself from thinking about what happened. It isn't the worst that has happened to me. But it can be.
I wear my almost everyday jeans and a sweatshirt that says "Geek." I love that sweatshirt. I'm a geek. I know it and I love it.5:20 am
I go downstairs and make breakfast for us. I make sandwiches and pack it. I leave a note saying what my brothers have to do. They are so little but understand what they have to do. Of course I leave instructions like, "Drink milk. Both of you. Jack please don't make a fool of your brother and say that he forgot to drink his milk, but in reality it was his second glass of milk."
It's weird. I know. But I guess between twins there is a policy that one has to be smarter than the other one. That is Jack.
John is not dumb. He is just not known by his surroundings. Yet. He is kind though.5:30 am
I'm ready and I meet Lol. Wow. I surprise myself sometimes. I'm on time.
I am never on time. I am surprised. Did I say that? And so is Lol.
"Wow dude.. you are.."
I was excited so I spoke, "On time. I know."
Looking all proud to myself until she started, " What..did you not take a bath or something?"
Ughhhh I can be on time. Definitely. I am late sometimes. Most of the times. So what.
I come closer to her, "Would you like to smell me?"
She speaks immediately, " Ew, gross dude."
I hear it in my head now. That is gross.I enjoy the bus ride as I convince her that I did take a bath, to which she agreed after smelling my hand. She refused to hug me. So I had to use my hand.
6:15 am
We are early. For a change. We haven't yet spoken about yesterday's thing. I am about to but Lol stops me and says to which I am surprised, "Dude, aren't those our bikes? All fixed up?"
I try to ignore her. I mean who even would fix them? Neither of us did anything.
I take in the view and they were actually fixed.We get closer and I am shocked, "Not only someone fix the paint, but also the bell. They fixed everything. But who?"
Lol speaks, "I'm happy. You should be too. Let's go before we are late and we are not happy anymore due to scolding. They are fixed for now. That's what matters. You can be Sherlock later on."She yells thank you I know she said that to the one who fixed our bikes, but we don't know if the person was there and when I look at her surprised, she says, "Don't look at me like I'm some crazy perosn. I said that to whoever fixed our bikes obviously. You should be able to guess it." She laughs at me.
I look at her, rolling my eyes, I say,
"No shit Sherlock, if you wouldn't have told me, I would have never been able to guess. How are you so sure that the person is here anyways? Yelling thank you isn't helpful you know. I have no fantasy of having a bestfriend who people think is crazy."Looking at the watch, she hastily says, "Oh my, we will officially be late if we don't hurry and I have no fantasy of being punished."
She's right. I smile and run with her.
But I can't help but wonder who could do that. I should thank them.

I hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you for sticking by.
Xoxo. Have a great day.
