NormanXEmma:Loving you || The Promised Neverland Fanfiction

Chapter 6

Emma's POV

2 subjects have passed and all of us seems bored already. I looked behind and saw Don, his head on the table, really really sleepyyyy. Opposite to that, is Gilda, who is listening intently and writing down notes using different colors of pen. Heh. Typical her, so studious.

I looked at Ray, he was looking outside with his hoodie on, staring at the rain droplets trickling by the window. I noticed that a Black earphone was plugged into his ear, but it's not very noticeable by many. And Norman..

Well.. He's listening, as expected. He immediately caught my eye, and smiled gently. Of course, I gave him a small grin in return.

Knock knock

The door swang open, revealing a guy with glasses along with the other students.

"Miss, is Norman Minerva present?"

Bzzt.

Ray sent a message thru text.

Ray: A student council. That scary guy is Vincent lol. Norman will be excused again.
- - - - - -

And yeeeep. Norman went away with them, without even glancing back at our classroom. His face suddenly turned.. Err- serious? scary? Meh. Whatever. I must not mind other's business and just focus on today's lecture.

Norman's POV

"What do you mean by this?" I kept my face straight, so as the irritation in my voice hidden. Maintaining my composture not to grip the letter too hard. Cislo, Barbara and Vincent are all present inside the council's office. The trio standing in front of my desk, facing me.

"E-eh Prez, the club leader declined. He said he has no time for the club, The guy told us he have so many works to accomplish and he can't do all of them at once." Cislo stuttered, completely intimidated.

"Barbara." I called out.

"Yes prez?"

"Later, maybe at lunch. Send a message for me to that guy in the next building. We'll arrange a meeting with hi-"

Knock knock

"Come in."  I kept my voice like that. Seriously not in the right mood for anything because of the stress.

Third person's POV

Behind the door is Emma. Norman's piercing blue eyes immediately soften upon seeing the girl.

"G-gomen! I didn't mean to inter-"

She apologized, not really aware that Norman is still having a meeting with the other council because the bell just rang, indicating a 45 minutes break time.

"What's your business with-"

"It's fine Barbara. Come inside Emma." Norman cutted her off, making the others a bit surprised at his sudden change of mood. He stood up from his sitting position, and walked towards the certain gingerhaired. Norman's back covered Emma.

This time, he didn't set a safe distance between them. Yep, her presence calms him down.

"Is there anything you need?" Norman asked softly, looking down at the blushing woman. She's still embarassed especially at Barbara's statement a while ago.

" I-I just wanted to drop this off. Ray said you usually don't eat breakfast before going to school so..."

Emma handed him a cute orange bento box, which surprised Norman. His emotions were evident, not hiding the fact that he was touched at her kindness for even thinking of him.

"Ah, you shouldn't have bothered. But I'm really grateful for this. Thank you, Emma." He showed her a genuine smile. For a moment, he totally forgot about the three student councils who are beyond curious of what's going on.

'A new face and a student who belongs to the same section as Prez, a section  higher than us. Just who does she think she is? Interrupting us and.. Tsk.' Barbara bitterly thought, her face scowling a bit while looking at the two.

Upon seeing her reaction, Cislo smirked at her, teasing silently.

"Anyway, if you are free, join us at lunch okay? Don't skip meals! See ya later Norman"

"Yeah, See ya Emma."

He closed the door, and went back to his desk, still holding the bento box she gave him, a tiny smile still plastered on his face.

"Err.. Prez?" Vincent was hesitant seeing their leader in 'calm' and 'good' mood.

"Hm? Oh yeah. As I was saying, I need to talk to him so we can settle the events. School academics has been tough but sports training should be implemented again for student who wishes to participate. It's not like this year has major changes anyway."

Norman put the bento box aside for now, and started reading papers reported by the leaders from different clubs.

"Noted prez." It was Vincent who answered, completely understanding the situation.

"Dismissed." The three of them bowed a bit, and left together. When they got out from the council's office..

"What the hell was that??! Vincent you gotta ask the presideeent..! I-I mean, you are pretty close to him among us right?? J-just simply ask who is that girl! It's impossible for him to have a girlf--"

"Oh shut up Barbara. Let Prez do whatever he wants. Geez. He obviously likes the girl ya know."

Cislo chuckled, which in return, making Barbara scowled at the thought. Envy swarming through her chest.

'I am totally aware that he doesn't like me, but at least, I can say I'm the woman he trust at serious matters and we're close. There's Gilda girl, but I know both are impossible to have affection because they see each other as siblings. Plus, she's in to Don I think. Fvck. Gotta stop thinking about this.'
