Chapter 2: Emma and J

Emma checks her email. She notices that I responded to her email. She sends an email saying that 1:30 worked. Emma closes the laptop and stares at the floor. "I wish that J was here. He is just so cute and I love him." Emma whispers to herself. Joshua wants to be with Emma too, but he is also really shy. Aren't they good together?

Emma goes down stair to get something to eat. She just can't wait till tomorrow. Emma hears a knocking at the door. Who could that be? She thought. She went to the door and opened it. It was J. "Hey, what up?" Joshua asks. There was a moment of silence. Neither of them knows what to do.

Finally Joshua thought of something. "Can I come in?" He says with a smile. Emma nods. "Yes come in." She is just amazed that it was him. "What are you doing here? Why? How did you find me?" Emma goes on. Joshua turns around and looks in to Emma's eyes.

"I came to see you. Is that not a good enough reason?" Joshua continues. "I found that you live here from Sam. She can be a rather useful source of information." Emma was blown away that I told him. I will kill her, Emma thought. "Well you have to go. I don't want to get in trouble. My mom is at the store. She does not like it when I have guests over when there is no adult in the house." Emma explains while pushing him out.

"Wait, I want to tell you something. I love you Emma, so will you be my girlfriend?" Joshua says grabbing Emma's hands. "Yes, I will go out with you. Joshua, I love you so much. But you have to go. I will talk to you on Monday." Emma blurts out. Emma and Joshua hug. The doorbell rings again. "Oh no that's my mom. What do I do?!" Emma asks J. "I should hide right? Or do we tell her the truth." Joshua replies. Emma opens the door. "Mom? What are you doing home this early? I thought you were coming back in an hour or so?" Emma says worrying about J being there.

After explaining everything to Emma's mom, J blow Emma a kiss and went home. "So, my little baby has a boyfriend. That's amazing." Emma's mom said. Emma blushed and headed up to her room. She did not want to see any one for a while.

Saturday comes along and I come over to Emma's house. We settle down and decide to go through the old yearbooks. "Yeah I know him. He is Canadian." Emma points out Joel. I know him too. "Don't tell him this but Canadians are cute." I tell her. Emma giggles a little.

We look through and I point to J. "oh, he asked me out yesterday. It was so cute. I just had to say yes. But then my mom came and had to ruin the whole thing." Emma blurts out. She starts to blush. I start to freak out like I do over the little things. 'Well, I think Garek likes me. Don't you think so?" I ask trying to find his picture in the year book. She looked at me.

"What happened to Caleb? You don't like him anymore?" Emma asked pointing at Caleb's picture. "I got over him, I think. But I also think Garek likes me a little." I close the yearbook. "We should watch the movie Frozen." Emma says grabbing the disc.

We finish the movie and Emma starts to sing that song in the movie. I looked at the time. It was 5:30 pm. Time flies when you're having fun. "Ok, Sam has to go. It's all most dinner time. Hurry up you two." Emma's mom says.

I sit down on my bed, looking up at the sky. I turn on my phone. I sit up and think. I should write! I all ways write a starter. I think about a number. "Got it, I will write about the number 13 and how it follows me everywhere." I say. I grab my lucky pencil and start to write. 'I hate this number. It follows me where ever I go.' I write. I pause to think how it follows me. '8/5 my birth day, 8+5= 13; Hate country music, but favorite country singer is Taylor swift. Her luck number is 13. When I was 7 I played soccer. My number was 6. 6+7=13. The best year of my life was 2013. The best age of my life was when I was 13. See the number follows me everywhere.'

I think of the story that I was writing earlier this month. I grab it out, read over it and start to continue it. 'You're a star in the sky; the only one I can see. I love you, can't you see. I'm crazy for you. Why can't you see what I want to give to you? I want to give my all, just to have you with me. Just to have you close to me, to be with you!' Wow, I write well! I thought to myself.

I could hear a faint knocking at my window. I look outside to see that Brett was there. He is my ex-boyfriend, he dumped me. I cried for like 3 whole days without stopping. "Hey girl, can I come in?" He says giving me a look. I think he still has feelings for me. "No! I don't want you anymore! Can't you take no for an answer?" I scream. Brett closes my window and sticks his tongue at me. I watch him walk to the fence and hop over it. Thank god he is gone, I have no idea how I liked him.

Neither does my friend Ivy; she did not approve of that little twerp from the start. Ivy pops in to hang out with me every so often at lunch, she has blood red hair and side bangs. We both are interested in learning Japanese. Yep, 6th period Japanese, That class is fun. We also have biology together. Joel is also in that class. I get to stare at him all class period.
