Come Close to Me

Chapter 1

"Emma...?....Emma!!....Emma wake up!!" I lift my head from my desk to see what looks like a blurry version of my teacher. I could hardly keep my eyes open, apparently I had been asleep. "Sleeping is not tolerated in this class Miss Cole!", I was right, it was my teacher. "Yes ma'am, I'm sorry." She shook her head and turned around "Sorry does not cut it here, if you want to sleep all day then stay at home, all you're doing here is wasting my time." I lowered my head, she was a scary old lady, her nose long and sharp like a beak, and body as thin and long as a match, on top laid a grey wig with over a hundred pins in it. Cowering was the best way to avoid her cold stare. She went back in front of the class and thankfully started teaching again.
----------------------------
The bell rang and I rushed out of the class, my best friend rushing behind me. "Dude that was hilarious" she slapped me on the arm laughing. I rubbed my arm before turning to look at her, "Shut up Becky!" I said frustrated, "You know damn well John was in there and probably laughed at me." "It's not that big of a deal Emma, besides I sit behind him, he wasn't laughing." Both of us turn down the hall towards the cafeteria. While in line Becky turned to me, "Oh by the way, my brother is coming home from college today so my mom wanted to know if you wanted to come to our party." I look back at her after looking in the kitchen to see what we were having "yeah that sounds cool, I didn't even know you had a brother." "Yeah I forgot we weren't friends when he left, it's been a few years". We walked to our table and sat down, neither of us were eating that mystery meat and broccoli they offered.

"Hey girls!" As we walked in Becky's house I could already tell her mom was excited. "Hey Mrs. Evans", I smiled, "When is your son suppose to be here?" "Soon, very soon, in fact he should be here any minute! I'm so excited for you to meet my baby!" The door bell rang and Mrs. Evans ran to the door, "What is your brothers name anyway?" I asked "Taylor." Laughing and crying came from the front of the house as Becky started to run towards the noise too, I thought I'd just stand awkwardly. "Emma honey, come here and meet my son Taylor!" I creep towards them until I see the most beautiful man I have ever seen, I stopped open mouthed. "H-hi, I'm Emma...", Taylor just smiled and and shook my hand. "I'm Taylor, and I've heard a lot about you" my cheeks flush, he knows me? This beautiful creature knows who I am? Becky runs over to me and hugs me while I gape, "this is my best friend I keep telling you about". I smiled. "Alright, well let's eat! I'm starving!" Becky's mom laughed while she led us into the kitchen. "I'm not hungry.." I looked down. "Me neither", Becky exclaimed. "Fine you two go do whatever." Taylor smiled and my heart almost melted as Becky dragged me to her room.
