NormanXEmma:Loving you || The Promised Neverland Fanfiction

Chapter 13

"Emma.. Emma."

I heard Norman calling my name gently. I fluttered my eyes opened and looked at my surroundings, still sleepy.

" Sorry I had to wake you up. We only have five minutes left before the teacher arrive." He explained, an apologentic smile plastered on his face.

'Cute.'

"Naaah it's okay! How was your sleep?"

He gave me a signature smile in return, it seems like he woke up much earlier than me because of his composition. But heeey, he looked much better and energized compared to how he looked like earlier! Though I admit this isn't the best way to sleep cuz we lack comfortable beds and soft pillows.

"I feel much better Emma. Thank you"

Well, I have no idea but the way he said that felt like an accomplishment..? It felt like there are butterflies on my tummy..

(/ω＼)

Why am I blushiiiiing??!

I heard some noises from the back and saw Don pulling Ray's hair to stop him for laughing, but Don as well looked like he's on the verge of bursting out, and Gilda being Gilda, she's scolding the two.

I know for sure that he's teasing us again. Sighs. Typical Ray.
The bell rang throughout the hallway, indicating that our teacher will arrive in a bit soon. By that, we composed ourselves and wait for her arrival.

"You should have slapped her to make her come back to sens-"

"Urusai. No way I'll do that."

Norman cutted Ray off and Don's laugh can be heard at the background. Their last class just finished and the five of them are hanging out together at the usual café.

Emma was just silent the whole time though. Her face didn't looked bothered at all, but you could tell that she's thinking about something.

"Yo antenna. Are you okay?" Ray noticed her behavior. So as everyone else but he only got the courage to ask.
Norman stayed silent, but observe how she's been acting.

"Uh huh. I'm fine. But I've been thinking.."

Both guys with Black raven hair, Ray and Don, slightly raised their left brows, waiting for Emma to finish her sentence.

"What is it Emma?" Gilda asked, completely curious. Norman didn't utter a single word, but he was staring at her that could be interpretted as if he was just waiting for her to say something.

"Uhm, i-is it weird to feel butterflies in my stomach?"

...

"Pfft. HAHAHAHAHA"

Ray bursted laughing, not being able to compose himself anymore. He held it for too long, and another 'joke' just arrived.

"OMG Emma! you're in love!!!" Gilda exclaimed, her voice full of excitement as if she was telling Emma that they will have a girl's talk and that she must elaborate EVERYTHING through out the said conversation.

"Woah woah easy there Emma! I wonder who might the lucky guy be hmm." Don, held his chin in a thinking position.

Paaak.

"Idiot. I don't know how the hell did I manage to stay on the same room with you being a dvmbshit like this."

Ray was the one who slapped his backs and spat out his words, with his eyes rolling a bit at his 'dumbness'

"Uhm, I- I am new to this feeling okay?! I absolutely have no idea but it's making me shyy! Of course, not in front of you guys! I trust your judgement."

Emma explained, and Norman just stayed silent.

'That could be Ray, but then... Oh, and possibly, that certain person isn't here?Cuz she openly admitted it in front of us. However, I'm also thinking of the possibility that she did that so 'that certain' person would not suspect himself to be the guy Emma was pertaining to.'

"Oi Norman, what's up? you went silent."

Ray smirked, teasing his bestfriend a bit.

"Am I not naturally like that?" Norman asked back, brushing some of his bangs to the side using his slender fingers. Upon seeing that, Emma felt the sudden sensation again and blushed.

'No good no gooood. He always got me blushing whenever he did that simple gesture!'

She thought, her face turning pink. Emma really thought of Norman as a beautiful guy.

"Ooof. Someone's grumpy." Ray smirked, and Norman just shook his head.

"Speak up Norman."

"I refuse to do so."

They bicker in the background, and Norman slightly thought of what just happened.

'There's only a 3% probability that she's liking someone from the different section. Based from her attitude, she's too naive to be even attracted at anyone just by their physique and face. 2% possibility that it's Don. Kinda close to being impossible, but we'll never know so save that 2% just in case. Then the rest.. That left me and Ray.'

He concluded. Norman's not stupid, though he felt like he must not assume things as well, but what he just did is based on his assessment of the situation given.

"Who's the guy Emma? You gotta tell us!"

Don asked, and Emma quickly shook her head no, along with her face turning red in instant. She didn't deny and make corrections of 'the guy thing', so that means, definitely not a Bi.

'Yup. High chances that guy is in our circle.'

Norman thought and was pertaining to their group. He's actually feeling anxious about the situation, and absolutely, he knows for sure that he will be upset if it is Ray.

'If I found out that Ray is the guy, I'll be feeling the same thing he felt when he found out Anna likes me.'

He thought, and sighed.

This sucks.
