A/N: This story was based on a list I found on ways for Emmett to - well, I don't know really… I guess just for Emmett to be Emmett…
Emmett's Plant
3rd PersonPOV
One Monday, on his way to school, Emmett found a plant.
In a pot.
In the middle of the road.
Emmett, being his good-natured self, decided to run over and save the plant from certain death.
He continued walking to school, and when he got to class, he placed the plant on the empty desk next to him.
EmPOV
I was sitting contently at my desk, waiting for my BORING class to begin when, "H-Hi. U-Um, Emmett? W-Wh-What's with the p-plant?" a generally scared MICHAEL NEWTON asked me. I mean really, what's with this kid? He's such a wimp, yet he thinks he's the coolest kid in school! Seriously? He thinks he's cool?
Whoa. Did anyone else hear that? Guess not, 'cause Mike's still there. Standing at the front of my desk…? Oh, yeah! He asked me something!
Slap him.
I heard the voice again. I don't want it to hurt me, so I better obey.
I slapped Mike, and he fell to the floor.
MPOV
WTH!
EmPOV
He stood up, clutching the side of his face, which is now all red. Oops… *snickers*
"CULLEN! WTH! Why did you SLAP me?"
Gosh. He didn't have to scream at me. He could've just yelled. Not screamed. Anyway, I decided to answer his question with words this time.
"The plant told me to." There. I said it. The creepy plant told me. It's the truth. Telling the truth feels…good. I should do it more often.
Mike just gave me a weird look and slowly walked away.
3rd PersonPOV
Emmett continued to bring the plant to school every day that week. On Monday of the next week, however, he just brought the pot. Mike noticed this and decided to ask Emmett about it, despite what happened last time.
EmPOV
I was sitting at my desk, all alone. Sort of. I still had Mr. Creepy Pot.
I heard a racing heart, caused by nerves it sounds like, and then there he was, again. Mike. Uuuuggggghhhh!
"Um, Emmett?" he asked.
"Yes, Newton?" I said, trying to sound interested. I failed.
"What happened to your, um, plant?"
I decided to tell the truth again.
"I don't like to talk about it."
THE END
