Blue Exorcist: New Life

Chapter 11

((Em's POV))

Rin wasn't there all day.
He must have been with Yukio and Shiemi. Poor guy, he's really worried for his wounded brother. I wouldn't blame him.
Now it was magic circle class, and it wasn't my best subject ever. Since Rin wasn't here today, I sat by the guys. Turns out this class wasn't their strongest either.
"Alright class, settle down will you all? Geez."
Shura took her seat on the desk, and looked at the door.
"You can come in you know."
Then she turned her attention to all of us.
"Class we have a new student. Please welcome... Ahh.."
The girl walked in, and my eyes widened. No, it couldn't be her. She was the one who didn't want to leave at.
"Victoria!"
"You can call my Vicky," she said to all of us.
I stood up, staring straight at her.
"V-Vicky?!?"
She gave me a small smile.
"Hey Em. How's it been the past year?"
She was interrupted when I ran up and gave her a huge hug. I felt like crying so bad. Tears of joy stung my eyes as she laughed a bit.
"Alright Em... Can you not squeeze me so hard?"
Quickly I let go of her. Happiness ran through me. She came here just to see me. I couldn't believe it.
"Alright, you can have a lovely reunion after class," Shura said. "Take your seats."
I led Vicky to an empty desk by the guys, and class begun.

After class, Vicky and I started to asked each other a ton of questions.
"How is everyone?"
"Good, but they miss you."
"I'm sorry... I should have kept more in touch. Why did you come here?"
"I decided why not be an exorcist and an actress!!!!"
She struck a pose, making me laugh.
"Hey Em, I also have another question."
"Yeah? What is it?"
"Why is that pink haired guy following us, and looking at me the whole class period."
I stopped walking. Oh Shima.
"Shima! We know your following us! You can come out."
The pink haired boy came out and gave a little laugh.
"I thought you both wouldn't find me."
We both laughed, and Vicky walked up to him. I saw his cheeks go red a bit.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"S-Shima. And your Victoria."
"Just call me Vicky. No need to be so fancy."
"R-Right. Sorry."
She looked back at me, her brown hair wiping fast.
"Is he your BOOYYFRRIIEND?! That's why he must have been following us!"
I felt my cheeks go hot.
"What?! No, we are just friends!! Stop jumping to conclusions!" Shima said.
I nodded.
"That's all. Just friends."
She just gave me a smile.
"Alright.... I believe you. Come on Em, we have a lot to talk about."
She grabbed my arm, and started to run down the hallway.
"Bye Shima! It was nice meeting you!" She called back
"Y-yeah..."
Since she was pulling me, I had no choice but to follow.
