The Dancer

Chapter 2

Emma's POV

I am awakened by my adoptive dad and I sigh rolling over onto my face.

"David I'm sleeping."

"Come on kid. You're gonna be late to school."

"Fuck I have to shower." I say sitting up and I groan.

"Don't let Mary hear you curse like that." He says leaving and closing the door after him. I sit up and sigh. I fucking hate school. I push my hair out my face it's a fucking mess. I get out of my bed and then go into the bathroom. I rub my eyes and the brush my teeth.

"Emma sweetie breakfast!" I hear Mary yell. I like my adoptive parents. They are cool and welcoming and they don't care that I'm gay and they understand me. Not once in the two years they've had me have they ever asked me to call them mom or dad and I appreciate it. I love them but calling them that is just kind of hard for me. I've never had parents before. No one has ever wanted me I guess. I slip out my boxers then my tank top and head into the shower. I wash my body with my vanilla and cinnamon scented body wash. I get out in a towel and then I go into my room. I get out a black bra and some black boxers. I put those on and then go into the closet. I put on black jeans that are ripped at the knee. I put on a long sleeve black shirt and a bigger short sleeve grey shirt over that. I grab my backpack slipping a hoodie into it and then I put on socks and my red converse. I brush my hair and leave it wavy. I go downstairs and sit at the table. Mary kisses my head and I smile.

"Morning."

"Morning sweetie did you sleep well?"

"Not really but it's fine."

"Got something on your mind kid?" David asks sitting and he cuts his pancakes. He cuts Mary's which I find so cute that he always cuts her pancakes even if she doesn't ask. I stuff my face and nod.

"I guess." I shrug and sip my cocoa. Mhm so good. Also hot. Fuck my tongue! Damn I really don't think.

"Who is she?" David asks and I blush looking down.

"Come on..." I say.

"Tell us." Mary now sits down and starts eating after checking her watch.

"You know the mayor?" They both nod.

"Regina is her daughter and I.... I met her yesterday."

"Oh she's so sweet. So kind." Mary says and David agrees.

"So what happened?"

"Nothing. David!" He laughs.

"So why is she on your mind?"

"We uh... I went the dance studio for some odd reason after school and we talked. She said all she's known as is the mayors daughter and it sucks. I told her I'm known as the orphan. The kid who never had parents and we just talked a bit and I drove her home. It was nice... she's different I guess." I find my plate and I get up and put it into the sink. I wash it and then go upstairs and get my back and keys.

"Have a good day kid love you!"

"Love you sweetie." I nod and leave. I still can't say that back either. No one has ever loved me. I frown and shake my head heading to school. I hit my puff a few times in the car. I park and pick up my phone. I go through my snap and someone knocks on my window. I see Ruby and I get out. I grab my puff and hit it. I put it into my back pocket and head into school with Ruby.

"How was your first day back?"

"Shitty. I hate this place." She laughs and nods.

"Welp it's our last year. We gotta make the most out of it."
