Diego's POV
Waiting for Maddie. Her mom is staring at me like I'm fresh meat. She walks over to me.
"Hurt my Maddie-Winky again and there will be no more Kanays!"
"Understood."
If Miss Van Pelt found out about Mia, she'd have a heart attack.
"Mads, you ready yet?"
"Yeah. Can we stop at Emma's? I told her we'd walk with her."
"Yeah. Since when did you two become friends?
"Since she helped me get you back."
Maddie taps my nose. I lean into kiss her.
"Stop! You two make me sick!"
I pull away.
"Hey, Em. Mads said we were going to meet you at your house."
"You were, but I wanted to meet you halfway. I should've stayed home."
Maddie rolls her eyes.
"How's it going with Daniel?"
"Since that night, he hasn't called or texted."
"Sorry."
"It's okay. I've been hanging out with Jax."
"Ohhh!"
Maddie's POV
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
Lily: Get 2 the school ASAP!
I show Emma the text.
Maddie: Y?
Lily: The council is here!
"What!"
"What?"
"Lily just texted the council is at school."
"What! They're never there. Why would they be ther..."
Emma looks at me. I think we're thinking the same thing.
" JAX!"
"We have to get to school. Now!"
"Okay. Hop in."
Proxy drives off to Iridium High.
Maddie: U think he knows?
Emma: IDK!
Maddie: Better text him.
Emma: Don't no his #!
Maddie: I do!
Emma: What? How?
Maddie: The council gave it 2 me.
Emma: Y?
Maddie: IDK
Emma: Better hope he has the same #.
Maddie: I no. (268)-426-336
Emma: Thx!
Emma: Hey the council is @ school.
(268)-426-336: I no. That's y I'm not there. Who is this?
Emma: It's Emma!
(628)-426-336: Hey. I gotta go, but I'll add u 2 my contacts. K?
Emma: K
Maddie: He okay?
Emma: Yeah. He isn't @ school, so he must no.
"Proxy! Can you go faster?"
"We're almost there."
I see the school's banner from here. Diego pulls in the parking lot. Emma and I jump out so fast.
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
I almost tripped over my painful, fashionable heels. Guess the saying is true: Beauty does hurt. Like a lot.
