Now You See Me

A Change is Gonna Come

Do you know what I have noticed? April passed Emma's desk during French class a few days later and sat next to her although it wasn't even her seat. 

Emma wasn't really in the mood for April, but when was she ever in the mood for her? "I'm sure you are going to tell me."

You are such a slut. April smirked. "I know it's really late to realize it but I was just thinking about it. I mean from one gut to the next in a matter of a few weeks."

It wasn't true, Sure, she moved to Henry but not quickly after her break up with Kyle. 

April looked at her Emma and smiled. She loved making her conflicted. She hated seeing Emma all happy around Henry, kissing him and everything. it wasn't fair that she seemed to have everything especially her ex.  

April, Could you come to help me with something, S'il tu plait? The teacher questioned. 

April turned to her teacher as she nodded and got up. It was hard to change the French teacher's mind about you and of course, you could get her to hate you very quickly but the other way around was beyond hard. 

Meanwhile...

Henry continued rocking the developer's tray in the darkroom of his photography class as the picture came into view. She was gorgeous. 

Flashback

Emma entered the photography room as she spotted Henry across the room. The reason why she was there was that Henry needed to do a portrait, he chooses her and she was hesitant about it at first but Henry convinced her to do it. 

Great, you are here. I will need you to pose over there. He said, pointing at the window seal. Henry took the picture up close and from afar and shot some other shots as well. 

Flashback over 

The second he saw the contact sheet he knew this was the picture he wanted to make, because her gaze was elsewhere, looking out the window, and she was in her own world. She just in her own world. She just looked relaxed and beautiful. 

"How's it going?"

Henry looked up to see Chloe who was across from him using the opposite bin. "What?"

 The girlfriend. She signaled towards the picture he was looking at moments ago. 

He nodded, "Good."

She nodded silently, "We miss you, Hen."

Henry moved his picture to the next chemical bin and only then looked up at her again. 

I bet you didn't know that. She attempted a smile. 

Henry shrugged, "It's just weird hearing it considering our motto was never to show any feelings."

What? She looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" 

Doesn't matter. Henry placed the picture into the bin next to him as he rocked the tray. 

Chloe tried to shake it off. "Well, it hasn't been the same without you and I'm sure that it won't be. Now, I don't know what that means to you--"

Chloe. He cut her off. "Sure, it's not the same without me. I'm sure it's better."

She shook her head, "No, it's really not." She wiped at her eyes, "I'm such a sap. She attempts to giggle.  

Come on, Chloe, You were never the one to cry in public. He smirked. 

Henry looked at her. The only thing she really did wrong was wanting to be included. He didn't know along with April, she was interested in seeing Emma miserable. As far as Henry could tell, she just got too caught up with the entire plan just like he did. "Give Emma a chance." He said simply. 

She nodded, "I will."

In class

Nerdy girl. Chloe sat next to Emma and smiled. 

What's with the girls that she hated always sitting next to her? She sighed. 

So I was thinking about it and I am a bitch. I'm sure you'd agree with me on this one...She stopped when the girl that Chloe cleared her throat because she was sitting in her seat. "I'm in the middle something, whore. Go sit in my seat or anywhere else." She turned back to Emma "Some people got the nerve got some nerve. Anyway, I'm not one to with getting to the point quick enough. So, here I'm so sorry. Chloe took a box out of her pink backpack and handed it to Emma. "Here." She put it on Emma's desk. 

Emma looked at her confused as she started to open it up. Inside the box lay a pair of diamond hoop earrings. 

Chanel. Chloe smiled. "White gold."

Emma looked up at her. "Chloe, I have a thing that I don't accept jewelry from people."

"That's a stupid thing. Chloe declared. "It's an apology gift so accept it or else. God, you people make an apology so hard."

Emma laughed, "Chloe, all you had to do was say "I'm sorry."

Chloe huffed, "I knew I did something wrong, Do I need to start over or something?"

No. I forgive you.  Emma smiled. 

Chloe sighed relief, "No wonder, I don't apologize often. It's too hard." 

After class 

You what?! April nearly yelled. 

Would you calm the hell down? Chloe rolled her eyes. 

"So, Kyle dated her, Henry is dating her and now, you two have become BFFs. Would you calm down if you were me?!"

April. Chloe put both her hands on April's arm. "It's an act, okay? I don't like her and I'm not going to start being her friend or anything. I just want to talk to Henry. Do you know how bored out of my mind I am in Math and Photography class? It's like torture."

Oh. April said. "Sorry, I freak out easily."

I can see that. Do you really think I would do that to my girl? Chloe giggled. 

Of course not. April hugged Chloe.

And maybe now I'll have some pathetic conversations in history too. Chloe smiled as the two of them laughed. 

A Few minutes later 

She knocked on the door as she looked around. She could have cared less what his neighbors were doing but if she'd just stare at the door she knew she would go crazy. It wasn't like there was anyone outside anyway, it was already dark out. 

The door opened, "Hey, April."

Mrs. Carter. April smiled back. 

I'll call Kyle. Do you want to come in? 

April nodded as she went into the house and the door was closed after her. "Kyle!"

I'll just go downstairs. April smiled as she went down the stairs. 

Ap. Kyle said surprised. 

"Hey, Kyle."

"What's up?"

I was wondering if you can do me a favor. She smirked.

Emma shouldn't close her eyes and she should never turn her back because the enemy is moving in and she's not about to be stopped.
