OK so this is my first story so please go easy on me because I'm still figuring out how all this works. I would still love constructive criticism on my work since that's the only way I can improve. So thanks and I hope you enjoy!
I love a nerd:
Just a fluffy two-shot about the relationship between Emily and Jayden. Emily works hard on her online class assignments to finish high school.
On with the story: Jayden's POV
It was a normal day in the Shiba house. I was working on my symbol power, Mike eating and playing video games, Kevin was studying, Mia was cooking with Antonio, but where was Emily? My Emily. I thought with a big smile, and started my search.
"Ahh there you are." I found Emily in the study, on the computer, she did not give much more than a mutter as a response. "What has got you so wrapped up?" I noticed her continuous typing. "I have to have an essay done by tomorrow, but we have been so busy with all the nighlock attacks I have not been able to work" she muttered, still typing.
"Almost done? How long does it have to be?" "Not even close, it is a twenty page essay" "Dang" I breathed "well then I will let you work. Do you need anything?" "No." was the short reply she shot back. So I left her to work.
You see Emily has given up so much, leaving to come here, and she has gained a lot too, but one thing she never got was her high school diploma. Mentor had offered her online courses and she jumped at the chance. I glanced at the clock, it read about three, I will check on her by dinner.

It felt weird not being around my girlfriend all day. The house had been at a much lower energy level and had been rather quiet, except for mike who would occasionally yell at his games and Mia laughing with Antonio.
I brought a plate of food to Emily, who looked rather stressed.
"How is it coming?" "I have the worst writers block!" "Eat something and take a breather, it has been hours." "Let me finish this thought" She spoke as she still typed away.
Obviously she had come up with something through her writers block and I did not want to ruin that so I retreated to my room, getting ready for bed. She was not in bed with me by the time I fell asleep.
~~~Jemily~~~
I woke up in an empty bed. I called Emily my human alarm clock, but without her, I had slept in. I was about nine and training started at ten. I got dressed and went to find Emily.
Shockingly she was still on the laptop, head resting on her propped up arm, body in a slump, typing rather slowly. Her eyes tended to fall shut ever so often, but she constantly pulled herself from her sleep.
The food was still sitting on the plate, pushed to the corner of the desk, as far away from her as it could be." What are you doing?" I asked. "Hmm?" She was rather quiet. "Have you been up all night?" "Mhm." "Ok, break time!" I shouted and attempted to pick her up, though she fought my attempt.
"No, it is due at noon." "Well then how far along are you?" I asked. "I have a page and a half more to do." "Ok well then why don't we take a break, get an hour of sleep, and then you can finish your last page and a half. You will still have three more hours to work."
"I have to get this done before training" "No." I cut her off "You are not training, you need your rest." "But" "no, no buts. That is an order" Clicking a few things on her laptop she finally shut it held it under her arm.
"Now let's go to bed" She shot her arms up "Carry me!" I chuckled at how cute she was. "Anything for my little princess" I turned around "Hop on." I took her to bed and tucked her in. "I still need to eat and I have training so I will be back to see you in an hour." With that, I left.
~~~Jemily~~~
I left training early to wake up Em. I am so proud of her for sticking to her studies, and managing to work school in with being a ranger. It obviously was not the easiest thing to do. When I entered our room I found the laptop open to her essay and a sleeping Emily.
When I woke her up I asked why the laptop was open. "I was working on my essay." "Em, you were supposed to be sleeping." "I know, but, when you are tired and fall asleep it is even harder to wake up on an hours' worth of sleep and in the long run you are better off just working" "Ok, ok." I laughed, cutting her off.
I did not understand how she managed to find the energy to argue right now, but I knew she should just save it and sleep. "Did you at least finish?" She smiled and nodded. "Good girl, now go to sleep. You need to save your energy now." As she lay back in bed, a smile graced her lips and I could see her slipping into sleep.
That is when the gap sensor went off, of course, at the worst of times. "Stay here!" I tried to keep her in bed "No!" She argued, getting up and running out.
TBC...
That's the first part of my story! Good? Bad? Terrible? Let me know! If it is bad I just might start completely over. No use working off of a cruddy story. Anyway, REVIEW PLEASEEEE!
