The next day I went on Instagram and posted the pic from the movie last night. I commented, "saw this movie last night with da crew!✌️💙" I went to the set and I got to the waiting room where I was shown to the schoolroom with Riele. For ten minutes we just sat there talking and waiting for the teacher. She finally got there and said, "Hello! I'm Mrs. Spencer! Now tell me what your names are?" She seemed nice but I needed to know if she was a good teacher. "Um I'm Emma and that's Riele." I said. "Okay now that we go that out of the way lets get started. We will be starting a new unit on cell biology. We will be learning the function of different parts of the cell."
"Great! Not like I didn't learn this in sixth grade!" I mumbled sarcastically to Riele. "What was that?" Mrs. Spencer asked. "Oh nothing!" She pulled out a picture and put it under a projector. "This is a picture of an animal cell."
"No it's not." I interrupted. "Yes it is Emma." She was so wrong. "It's not it's a plant cell and I can prove it." I said with an explanation ready. My old math teacher always said that we had to justify our answers and I was doing just that. "Well alright, if you think you're so right then please explain!" She sounded really annoyed. I probably should have stopped there and Riele was giving me the 'be careful!' look, but I couldn't resist. I walked up to the projection and totally proved her wrong. "Well the animal and plant have different cells because they have just a little bit of a different function. Although they are similar the plant makes its own food, it's called photosynthesis. So it has chloroplasts." I pointed at some blobs in the image. "They absorb the energy needed and the plant cell has a cell wall which provides structure for the cell because plants don't have bones like us." Ingot lost in my own explanation, because when I turned around Riele and Mrs. Spencer were staring wide eyed at me. Mrs Spencer looked at me, then at the picture, then back at me. "Huh. I guess you're right Emma." She said still a little shocked. Definitely not a good sign if you're the one teaching the teacher. I went back to my seat very satiated with myself. Riele looked at me and said, "How did you know that stuff?"
"I went to a really good school." I replied. I had the elementary school that u went to was very good and my year and a half at Worthington was very good too. We want to lunch and once again met up with the rested the crew. "So how was school?" Jace asked me. Riele answered for me. "She kicked the teachers butt!"
"No I didn't! I just stated what I knew because she was wrong and I totally proved it." I said casually. Everyone stared at me. Which wasn't unusual for Jace. "What? I didn't yell at her! I just politely told her that she was wrong." Everyone started laughing and calling me teacher. Later I was in a chair in the side of the set waiting to go on and Jace Riele and cooper were there too. I went on Instagram. The first episode had aired so my followers shot up. I looked at the movie picture I posted and I wanted to reply to some of the comments because I remember how annoying it was when people ignore your comments. So I started reading. Some were nice comments like "omg I love your character on Henry danger! You're the luckiest person ever!" Then I came across one that said "you suck! I don't know how you even got the role! You're ruining Henry danger! Just quit or drop dead! Whichever comes first!" Things like that don't bother me that much, but they still make me want to punch them. "How much trouble do you think I'd be in if I started swearing at some jerks on Instagram?" I asked Jace. "Emma what did you do?" He looked at me suspiciously. "Well nothing yet." I replied all innocent. "Good because I think you would get in a lot of trouble!" Fine but I'm still responding. I wrote, "Well there is a reason I got this role and you didn't. And honestly I would like to see you do any better! And if you don't like the show? There's a simple answer. DON'T WATCH IT!!" I posted and people started commenting, "Way to stand up to the haters! Haters be damned!" I was satisfied and I had to go on set. Later I checked back and more and more mean comments kept coming up. The comments themselves didn't bother me, but what did bother me is that people would talk to other people like that. Later as I was about to leave Jace runs up to me and says, "hey so I was thinking and I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?" I wonder if he know that I already have a boyfriend? I agreed to go because I didn't really know how to say no. But I automatically felt bad. But as it turns out I had no reason to. I went home and I was just hanging around in my room when I got a face time request from Caroline. I picked up. "Hey!" I said. Caroline was at the school dance but she didn't look happy. "Okay I'm going to feel really bad about showing you this but you deserve to know. It looked like she walked into a hallway. Then she turned she camera and I saw my boyfriend kissing one of my friends form my basketball team. I wanted to scream but instead I said, let me talk to him. Alisha had joined Caroline and they stormed up to Thomas and Alisha slapped him hard on the face. "Your girlfriend wants to talk to you!" She yelled. "Make that ex girlfriend!" I yelled. Thomas looked at me and tried to say, "Emma! I can explain!"
"Save it! We're done! I hope you take a long walk off a short pier!" I screamed. "Guys feel free to punch him for me!" I said to Alisha and Caroline. Alisha did just that. She punched him in the nose and it started bleeding. "I'm so sorry Emma! I feel terrible for telling you!" Caroline said. "No I needed to know. I'm glad you did." I did need to know. But now I just wanted to cry and beat the crap out of someone at the same time. "You okay?" Alisha asked. "Yeah I'll be fine. I kinda figured this would happen at some point. Bye." I said and hung up. The I remembered that k was supposed to hang out with Jace but I really didn't feel like doing anything. Mostly because I might punch him because I was so mad. Even though he didn't do anything. I texted him.
E hey um can we hang out another time?
I waited ten minutes before he responded.
J I guess why?
E I just can't
J okay are you alright
E im fine I just can't out today
J are you sure your okay
E I'm fine just stop asking!!
J fine geese
E sorry I'll see you tomorrow
I face planted into my pillows and screamed. "Thomas you lying, heart breaking, cheating, jerk face piece of crap!" I probably screamed every swear I knew into that pillow. Then I started to punch the pillow. That rage soon turned to tears. I kept asking myself, "why was I not good enough for him?! I did everything I could to be a good girlfriend! What is wrong with me?" Thomas kept trying to text me so I deleted him from my contacts and then I blocked him. Then I got a text from Riele.
R hey Jace said you were freaking out
R u ok
E not really my boyfriend just cheated on me
R oh that sucks
E yeah a lot
E that's why I didn't want to hang out with Jace
R do you want me to come over?
E no I think I will punch any human being I see right now
R in that case I'll stay where I am!
E yeah I'll see you tomorrow
R yeah bye
I spent the night buried in my script to get my mind off of everything. It seemed like the only way I could keep control of myself and not break something. But that could only take me so far. This was just the beginning of a long nightmare.
