Chapter 1

Emma POV

"Hurry up, Andi!" I say to my best friend, who's lagging behind on our walk to school.

"Don't rush me! I hate the first day back to school, let me take my time." Andi whined.

I sighed, and tried a different approach.

"Oh, well. I just thought you'd want to get to school earlier." I said, nonchalantly.

"Why?" Andi asked suspiciously.

"Oh, you know. To check on Philip. You don't want Maddie to turn him into a Panther, now do you?" I asked.

Andi's eyes widened at the thought and she rushed ahead of me.

"Come on!" she exclaimed. "We have to get to school!"

I just laughed and followed behind her. Finally, we reached Iridium High. It was our junior year, and I was determined to make it the best. All of our magic problems were out of the way(I hope), Andi was finally a guardian, and most importantly, I had decided between Jax and Daniel. For good. I felt a little bad, but I can't tell him I was sorry. Because I wasn't. I had made my choice and it was the right one. All of our friends were standing in front of the school, waiting for the bell to ring. Andi immediately ran over to where Philip was standing with Maddie, Diego, and the Panthers and started accusing Maddie of turning him into a Panther. I guess that was partly my fault. Suddenly, I felt two strong arms slip around my waist and pull me into a hard chest. I already knew who it was but the Australian accent that followed confirmed my suspicions.

"Hey, Em." Jax whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

I turned so I was facing him and threw my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me into a big bear hug. I held on to him tightly, I missed holding him when he was away. He had been in Australia during the summer, visiting some of his family. I hadn't seen him all summer.

"I missed you so much." I murmured into his shoulder.

"I missed you too." he said.

I pulled back slightly, just enough to look into his deep, brown eyes. He smiled at me and my insides melted. I pulled him to me again, and this time, our lips met in the middle and moved together in perfect sync. Jax's hands squeezed my waist as he deepened the kiss. I smiled against his lips until I heard someone coughing behind me. I broke away from the kiss and turned around to see my dad staring at me. I blushed deeply as I faced him.

"Hi, Dad." I said, embarrassed.

"Emma." My dad said, looking at me. Then he turned to Jax with a stern look. "Jax. Have a good day." He took one final look at the both of us and then walked inside of the school.

I released my breath. I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until that moment. Then I heard Jax chuckling behind me. I whirled around and glared at him. How can he be laughing right now?

"What's so funny?" I demanded.

"Are you kidding? You're telling me you didn't find that the least bit funny?" He said, between laughter.

"No, I don't find my dad walking in on me kissing my boyfriend particularly funny. Nice to know you think it is though." I say, pushing his arm slightly. Whoa, he's been working out this summer.

Jax only smiled and pulled me forward by the waist. He leaned down and murmured in my ear, "You know, you're sexy when you're pissed at me."

At that comment, heat spread through my body, and he knew how I was feeling too. He constantly had that effect on me. I took both of his hands in mine and pulled him towards the building.

"Come on, the bell is about to ring." I say to him.

"Alright, let's go." He says, putting his arm across my shoulders. I smiled up at him and wrapped an arm around his waist and we walked in together, starting our junior year.
