Author's Note- I'm new to FanFiction so please read and review. And if you have any ideas let me know, please don't be too harsh in the reviews. Hope you enjoy! :)

Will Schuester had an okay summer, it would've been better if a certain redhead had been part of it, though. He still was very much in love with Emma Pillsbury, and it was killing him. Because she was now with Carl Howell, the dentist. Will had never met Carl but still hated him because he had his Em. Will thought that deep down Emma loved him too, she just wouldn't admit it…yet. I wish things wouldn't be this awkward between us. I wonder if she's still with Carl, Will thought as he walked into his first period Spanish class.

Since it was the first day of school Emma Pillsbury had no appointments all day. So she sat at her desk and thought about Carl the nice but cocky dentist and Will the charming and kind Glee club coach and Spanish teacher. I had a great time this summer with Carl but…he's not Will. No don't think that! Carl is your boyfriend you love him…but by loving Carl you're hurting Will. He said he loved you and meant it though. And saying those three little words definitely takes a lot of courage. Oh gosh, now things are gonna be really awkward between us. I just want to go back to being best friends with him…maybe more. Oh no, stop thinking like that, Emma thought. Her thoughts were battling themselves. She knew that deep down she would never stop loving the curly haired Glee coach. Emma also couldn't wait to see Will. She really needed to talk to him. Tell him she still wanted to be best friends. Emma decided she would go to Will's office at lunch to talk with him

.

In the final fifteen minutes of 's Spanish class, the kids were rambunctious. He couldn't blame them, he too was eager for lunch. This was his 4th period and he'd already seen most of the Glee kids. They had been happy to see him and of course Rachel already had a setlist planned for Sectionals. Will reminded them there was practice today and to look for new recruits. Glee wasn't on his mind though, Emma was. I can't wait to see her! Is she still with Carl? I hope not. I hope she's not mad at me either because I still love her and always will, he thought. Will decided he would go visit her at her office and talk it out. Just then the bell rang and Will snapped out of his thoughts. He got up and collected the student's worksheets and then grabbed his lunchbag and waterbottle. Will started to walk down the hall and as he turned the corner, he ran into somebody.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Will said as he bent down to pick up the person's lunchbag. When he looked up he realized it was Emma. She was wearing a yellow blouse and an orange skirt.

"It's okay Will," she said with a smile. Emma looked down at him, he was wearing a dark blue button down shirt, a black and gray horizontally striped tie, and jeans. "I was actually on my way to see you. If you're not busy, I'd like to talk. I missed you over the summer," Emma continued. He gave her his signature lopsided grin.

"Actually I was just about to go see you too," Will replied obviously happy.

"Do you want to go to my office for lunch?" Emma asked.

"Sure," Will replied.

Will sat across from Emma thinking of something to say. He took a bite out of his chocolate chip cookie and mustered up courage. "Em, things have been weird between us," he said. "I wanted to say I'm sorry for kissing you because you're with… Carl. It was inappropriate of me and it won't happen again."

Emma looked at him and found herself lost in his hazel eyes before replying "It's okay Will. Just so you know… I'm still with Carl. But I want to go back to what we had before. Will…you're my best friend and I don't want to lose you." She looked at him and although he was smiling, his eyes looked sad, probably because of Carl.

"I would love to be your best friend," Will replied. "I'm going to say something right now and after I say it will you pretend it never happened?" he asked mysteriously. She nodded, eager to hear what he was about to say. "Emma Pillsbury, I love you and always will. I know I screwed up but I won't stop fighting for you…even if you are taken."

Emma blushed. Just then Sue walked in. "Hello Erma," she glanced at Will, "you. Ugh, I couldn't help but overhear your lovey dovey moment. Schuester you sicken me… I'm sorry I got distracted looking at your hair. I keep expecting Keebler elfs to pop out with cookies," Sue said.

Will rolled his eyes, just as another person walked in… it was Carl. "Hey baby! Just thought I'd surprise you at work. Who are your friends?" Carl asked gesturing to Sue and Will.

"Oh! Hi Carl! This is Will and Sue. Guys this is Carl my de- I mean boyfriend," Emma said.

"Huh. Boyfriend? You mean you finally got rid of SpongeHair SquareChins over here?" Sue exclaimed. Will grimaced, he didn't like the way the conversation was heading. "You know that William just got down telling Elmo that he's in still love with and all that crap. Hope that doesn't bother you," Sue finished grinning slyly, as Will turned beet red.

"What?" Carl cried out in disbelief.
