The Next Chapter

Chapter 13

Helloooo! I'm still in a writing flow, hahaha. It's pretty fun. But I don't really know what to write here so I guess I'll just start with the chapter!

Emery's POV

I'll never understand this school and why everybody is in everybody's business all the time.

"Well throw some punches!" Someone from the back screams.

"We're not in a fight!" I scream back at everyone.

"Yes we are, this bitch thinks that she can just take Jake away from me!"

"You know what? If you want him so much then here you go! You can have him! I don't want him and I will never want him!" I scream and walk angrily to the main doors. And just as my luck has it I just missed the bus and it's raining.

You know that one day where you feel like your life is some tv-show and a really depressing episode? Yeah, me too.

I mean I'm basically the talk of the school and will probably stay that way for a good time, I have missed the bus TWO times now and both times that I've missed the bus it's raining! God is NOT with me right now and I know it. And of course when I say that it starts to not only rain a little bit pour. POUR.

"You really have something against me don't you?" I say, standing on the sidewalk, drenched and really uncomfortable.

"Excuse me?" I hear a voice behind me. "Did you say something?" I turn around and see a guy.

"Oh- ehh, no. I'm sorry, I was just talking to myself, hehe..." Not embarrassing at all Em...

"Oh, hahaha. Do you possibly know where the bus stop is?"

"Yeah, it's over there." I point towards two trees. "But you just missed it and the next one won't come for another 35 minutes." I say and hear him sigh.

"Perfecto... Is there any other way to get to this place?" He asks me and hands me a paper with an address on it.

"Well it's raining pretty hard so it's hard to see but I think I know where this is. It's on the way to my house so you can follow me."

"Oh, gracias." He says as we start to walk. Have I met him before? I don't recognize him...

"I'm Carlos by the way. I'm an exchange student from Spain." Oooh, so that's why I don't know him.

"I'm Emery. I'm a student from America and England." I laugh and we shake hands.

"So, since we have a bit to walk... Why don't you tell me something about you?"

"Okay, I am from Spain as I said. I'm 19 years old, an only child, my parents divorced when I was young so my dad moved back to the states-"

"Oh, your dad is from here?"

"Yeah, so I'm half American too. It's just that he left when I was little so I don't really identify as American... He grew up here and after college, he went to Spain, met my mom, but when she became pregnant he was not so happy. He didn't want children yet so he left. But she was determent, she wanted a baby. And she got a baby, me." He laughs.

"That's so sad though. About your dad. Do you know his name or where he is now?" I ask.

"No... My mom doesn't want to tell me. She doesn't talk about him so much, I understand why. I only know that he lived near Washington before he moved to Spain. But I have no idea where he is now." That's sad... Not to know your father. Can't imagine.

Carlos and I talk the entire way to his house. We say goodbye and I continue the walk to my house in the fantastic rain and I'm sooooooo happy when I see our door.

"FINALLY!" I scream as I step into the house.

"Em? Is that you?" I hear Auden scream from upstairs.

"Yes!" I scream back. I take my jacket off and my hair is drenched. It's like I just got out of the shower.

"I put an umbrella in your bag this morning...." He comes to the stairs, looks at me and smirks. "Just thought you should know." And with that, he runs back to his room.

"AUDEEEEN!"

After a very good shower I jump in bed and start Star Wars: A New Hope. I can not get enough of these movies. The rest of the day goes on pretty smoothly and before I know it it's Saturday and it's time for my 'non date' with Jake.

I put on black jeans and a white turtleneck sweater. I probably shouldn't wear a black bra though... I change to a beige one, much better. I say goodbye to mom and dad and head to the café when I agreed to meet Jake.

I walk in and see him sitting at a table with his phone in his hand. I take a seat opposite him.

"This is weird. You're on time." I say and he puts his phone away.

"Yes I am but I can't say the same about you."

"What? It's 5?"

"It's actually 5:04."

"Oh, well I'm sorry that the bus was a little late." I laugh.

"You would've been here on time if you would've let me drive you."

"The bus is fine. Besides I wouldn't want to get into the same car as you again, not after what happened at school." I roll my eyes and he laughs.

"That was pretty funny. I can't believe how many people actually cared so much." He keeps laughing.

"Well I'm happy that my misery amuses you." I say.

"It does." He smiles and I scoff.

"So?" He asks.

"So?"

"What should we do then?"

"Well you were the one that decided to have this 'date' so that's up to you."

"Well, technically you were the one agreeing to come. You could've easily had said no."

"Do you want me to go? Cause I'll go." I say and grab my keys.

"No no no. Stay." He says and grabs my arm. "I'll start."
