NormanXEmma:Loving you || The Promised Neverland Fanfiction

Chapter 11

After going to the arcade and eating lunch, both of them decided to do window shopping and talk about lots of stuffs. You can clearly say that in a matter of time, they got even closer to one another.

5:20 PM

Emma and Norman decided to go home. Their ride together inside his car was full of Emma's enthusiastic voice and laughter, sounds music to Norman's ears. He lost count of how many times he complimented her in his mind. It's way too early for the platinum haired guy to like her this much, but what can he do? He might dictate and control his mindset, but never his heart.

"Thank for the ride Norman! and for this plushie too." Emma went out of his car. They just both arrived to her place and he's already missing her.

"I hope you enjoyed your day, Emma." He gave her a small smile which she gladly return.

"I really did! I hope there will be next time though" Giggling a bit, and clutching the plushies together into a tight grip. Norman chuckled, and started the engine of his car.

"Whenever you like. Anyway, I'll go home now. Have a good night" She waved goodbye at him, and watched him drove away from her place.

Emma let out a sigh when he's nowhere to be seen.

'I'm tired, but I never thought this day would be so much fun than the usual'

She went inside her dorm, and slumped her back on the bed along with the plushies. Emma didn't realize she's already closing her eyes and slept.

Monday. 6:23 AM

"Ohayooo!" Emma greeted, her voice full of enthusiasm. Only few students were inside the room. That includes Don, Gilda and Ray.

Gilda greeted her with a smile, eyes closed.
"Good morning Emma, you seem energetic today."

"When did this antenna ran out of energy anyway" Ray said, laziness was evident in his voice. He's probably still sleepy based from his sitting position, also, it's too early anyway. But nothing is too early for Ray's insults.

"Oh shut up! don't even start with me Ray! "

He just made faces, and laughed at himself for doing that. Maybe it energized Ray, being capable to tease Emma early in the morning. She set down her bag, and went to Ray's seat.

"So.. Are you feeling okay now?" Her rounded green eyes staring deeply into his, full of curiousity can be seen.

"The hell are you talking about idiot? Of course I am." He smirked. Ray knew what she was implying. Being a little bit upset at his bestfriend Norman for not telling him the truth about Anna's feelings for him.
It kinda bruised his ego, and he felt insecure that day.

"You liar. I saw your expression! you were sa-"

He cutted Emma off by covering her mouth with his hands and glared at her.

"Lower your voice dummy!" He whispered, and did not bother glancing at Don and Gilda for that was like digging his own grave. If he does that, he'll just embarass himself more and that will probably trigger the two to ask him what seems to be the problem. Emma rolled her eyes a bit, taking off Ray's hand on her mouth.

"Alright alright. Sorry." Apologizing, she took a chair a sat on it next to Ray.

"So, you tell me what happened." She insisted, obviously not believing his lies making Ray sighed at her stubborness. She's really something else.

"It was really nothing Ems. Just found out Anna, the girl you met at the café likes Norman. No use denying I have a small thing for her, because you, yourself guessed it the same day you saw her. Plus, I don't know what kind of alien species are you to guess that. Maybe you aren't that dumb as I thought you were."

He explained and managed to insult her again at the end of his statement. Emma ignored it, for the first time.

" Maybe he has reasons? That's why he didn't tell you about the.. ya know."

She concluded, and Ray thought the same. Maybe Norman didn't bother telling it to Ray because he doesn't wish for his bestfriend to feel insecure. Maybe Norman didn't tell it to him, so that nothing will change between the treatment Ray usually give to Anna.

"I know. But seriously, don't make it a big deal. I'm all good.. Just a bit sleepy." He said, resting his head above the table. Ray is legit sleepy. Emma patted his head, laughing a bit and just returned to her seat.

"Huuuuh??!! We have a homework??!!"

That was Don. He held a terrified face for not doing his assignment and was extremely anxious that exact moment. Gilda rolled her eyes, went to her bag, get her notebook and tossed it to Don.

"Just copy mine. You don't have enough time."

She stated with her arms crossed.

♡´･ᴗ･'♡

"Chuuu~ Thank you Gilda! HAHAHA you really are the best!"

Upon hearing what Don have said, her cheeks turned pink. She likes him afterall, it was just that, Gilda is very contented as of this moment in what her and Don have right now. She's contented with being just 'Bestfriends'
Plus, she wants to enjoy her life being single. Though that doesn't mean that Gilda is not in to anyone.

How about Don? Like what Ray have said, he's dumb. He used to have a crush on her, but similar to Gilda, he thought there's no point in rushing things. He became too comfortable at the state of just being bestfriends until eventually, he doesn't know anymore if he still likes her or not. Probably because he never thought of it for too long.
