The difference between Bows and Glasses

Chapter 3

~EMMA'S POV~
When I got home I blared Pop music in my earbuds and I ate. (Even though I hate eating) Afterwards, I was in my bed with my pink dress still on. I was thinking "What does she have that I don't have?" But the thoughts in my head were gone in seconds. I had a plan. I needed to become friends with her, find out everything about her, and how she feels about James.
*the next day*
I drove to school the next day wearing my light purple dress with my black heels. I noticed Kaitlyn, but was too in a hurry to find that other girl. I hate ignoring Kaitlyn, but I have a job to do. I will apologize later. I looked all around in the gym for that girl and when I finally found her I ran as fast as I could and plopped down beside her.
"Hi! I'm Emma! What's your name?" I said with a creepy smile on my face. "I'm Isabella! Nice to meet you!" She said this is such a perky way. Her blonde curls bounced up and down as if they were excited for some reason. "So your friends with that James boy?" I said happily. "Yeah, he's just the sweetest isn't he?" She said. "Indeed." I don't know why I started talking all sophisticated. "So.. Want to be friends?" I said ackwardly. "Of course!" She said with as much perkiness as she had inside of her. "Sounds good!" I said. We walked out of the gym together. I was walking to my locker with Isabella when James popped up out of nowhere. (Which scared the shit out of me) "God James! You scared me!" I said girlishly. "Sorry Emma." He said with a cute smirk on his face. He giggled lightly. His giggle was so cute. Then, out of nowhere, Kaitlyn grabbed my arm and I screamed. "Why didn't you come see me this morning?" She said sadly. "I'm sorry! I was busy!" I said. "Doing what?" She said curiously. "Umm... Important stuff." I said nervously. "Fine don't tell me then." She was annoyed with me. "I'm sorry Kaitlyn. I truely am." I said with sympathy. Kaitlyn stormed off with fury. I just walked away to go find Isabella. When I found her, we had to go to Homeroom. I was excited because I had Homeroom with James. When I walked in Chelsea, Nova, and Holly all called me over to sit with them. Me and James made eye contact as I sat down. Holly gave me the 'stop making it obvious' look. So I stopped looking at James and chatted with my friends. But I did glance at him every once in a while. But he never looked at me for the rest of the period.
~KAITLYN'S POV~
•dream•
I was walking down a long empty gray hallway and I heard giggles echoing. I saw what I thought was Emma at the end of the hallway. She was sitting down with her legs crossed and her back to me. I felt my body ease and I walked over to her. "Hey." I said with a smile. She turned her head and there was a piece of paper covering her face. It read 'You are a whore. Never talk to me again. :)' I ripped it away and her there was nothing where her face should be. I tried to scream but nothing came out. My lungs were shrinking or something and I crumpled to the ground. I started to hear screams and I felt my soft pillow against my face I opened my eyes and found out that the screaming I was hearing was from my alarm playing my favorite song, King for a Day, by Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens. I rub my eyes and run my finger through my blue hair. I stand up and skip to the bathroom. I turn the shower on and start to talk to lightly sing to myself. "I get to see Emma. Got to take I shower so I don't stink." I begin to laugh at myself then I strip down and climb into the warm water. When I'm done I blow dry my hair and brush my teeth. My hair isn't crazy so I just brush it. Then I go to my closet to pick out something to wear. I pick a black button up shirt that is sleeveless and has a lace pattern on the shoulders. Then I pick a pair of light skinny jeans and my black combat boots. Then I grab my purse and my book bag and skip outside to my car. I couldn't wait to see Kaitlyn. We have been hanging out for about a year and I think I'm ready to tell her my feelings. Last night I wrote a note to her, it said
'Dear Emma ❤️,
I have been crushing on you for a while and I think you may feel the same way. I usually wouldn't tell people my feeling but you are different from anyone else ever. I just get knots in my stomach when I see you and I want to be your girlfriend. What do you say?'

The note was tucked into my pocket and my keys were sticking out of my back pocket ready to drop at any moment. I pulled them out and opened the car door and sat down. I pulled out my phone and sent Emma a text. "Do you want me to pick you up?" My heart flip flopped until she sent me "No thanks boo." I giggled lightly at the pet name. I drove to the school and waited for my hopefully soon to be girlfriend to get here. I see her step out of her car and I smile widely and grasp the note between my forefinger and my thumb. My heart drops when she looks at me but keeps walking. She doesn't want to see me? A tear clouded my vision but I wiped it away because I was being childish. I cleared my head and decided I would give her the note later.
•at the end of the day•
Emma never talked to me. I had to force myself not to cry at the thought of Emma never talking to me again. I don't think I did anything to make her mad. I see her in the hallway talking to that James boy. He makes me want to punch him, but I don't want to seem obsessive. I grab Emma's arm as she walks by and whispers harshly "Why didn't you come see me this morning?" I try to stay strong but hurt is highly evident in my voice. She seems shocked "I'm sorry! I was busy!" Thats all she can say? Wow. "Doing what?" She probably won't answer but I'm still going to ask. "Umm important stuff." the way she says it makes me want to sob. She was probably seeing someone else. "Fine don't tell me then." I spit the words at her in anger. "I'm sorry Kaitlyn I really am." yeah a simple sorry will totally fix it. Yeah right. My tears start to fall so I quickly to turn around and run away. I didn't want her to see me cry and think I'm weak. I pull the note from my pocket and rip it and throw it away. How could she ignore me all day and not give me a simple answer like 'hey I don't like you' or 'I found someone else' I sigh and climb into my car and sit there silently for a minute before driving away.
