"I swear!" Kevin barked.
"Swear what?" Mike asked as he walked in. Mia turned to Mike. His hair was all messy and he still looked sleepy.
"Well Kevin claims that he got up last night to get some water and saw Jayden and Emily outside in the practice area just standing and hugging for like hours," Mia explained. This spiked Mike's attention. Everyone knew Mike liked Emily, except for Emily herself though.
"It did happen!" Kevin exclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure Emily would tell me if something was going on between them," Mia declared.
"Nah, it's Jayden, come on. That dude can't take his mind off of training to rest much less to be with Emily, I mean think about it," Mike noted, not wanting to accept that Emily could be falling for another guy.
"Think what you want. I saw them and know it happened," Kevin announced.
"Sureeeeee," Mia dragged out. "We'll just have to see if they act weird. If so, something's definitely up. If not, well then we all get to punch Kevin," Mia said laughing.
"I'm totally cool with that. I-" Mike stopped. Jayden and Emily both walked in.
"Whoa, you two look exhusted. Did you get any sleep last night?" Mia asked, being sneaky. Emily turned wide-eyed and glanced at Jayden who immeadiately caught her glance and looked back at the others. It was quick but they all saw it.
"Couldn't sleep. Anyways, what's for breakfast?" Jayden asked. He dodged the question.
"Mentor made eggs. We just finished eating but there's still plenty left for you guys." Kevin chirped.
"Sweet," Jayden and they walked over to the counter. Emily pulled out a chair and sat down while Jayden got the plates. "Here you go," he handed the plate to Emily.
"Thanks Jay," she smiled. Mike didn't want to see this and stomped out. "Where's he going?" Emily asked.
"Uhh probably to train. Yeah, to train," Mia answered trying to think of an excuse. "Which reminds me, do you want to be my sparring partner today, Em?"
Emily took a big gulp. She wasn't sure she'd be able to take on a serious sparring session today but before she could answer Jayden interruped, "I already promised Emily I'd help her the next few days durning training." Emily felt relieved.
"Oh okay, maybe some other time," Mia said as she grabbed Kevin's arm an they walked out of the kitchen.
Once in the hallway Mia turned to Kevin. "Okay, you were definately right, there is so something going on."
"I told ya so," Kevin mused so Mia punched him in the arm.
"Ow!" Kevin exclaimed while they walked outside to go practice.
Soon enough, Jayden and Emily were done eating and joined the others. They sparred and Jayden went easy on Emily. Normally she'd complain but she really didn't think she was able to handle a proper fight right now. She began thinking about Serena and got lost in thought so she didn't even notice Jayden swing. Next thing she knew, she hit the ground.
"I'm so sorry Em. I didn't mean to," Jayden yelled as he ran to her. The others soon joined and were surrounding her.
"Are you okay, Em?" Mike asked worried.
"Yeah I'm fine, it's nothing really. Just a little fall," Emily told them.
"I'm sorry, Em," Jayden said, feeling terrible for hurting her.
"It's not your fault. I was being clumsy," Emily assured him. "I'm fine, let's continue on."
Slowly, everyone retreated back to their previous positions.
"What happened?" Jayden asked.
"Nothing, I just got lost in thought," Emily claimed. The both got back into their fighting stances.
"What were you thinking of?"
"Tonight," Emily beamed. Jayden smiled back widely. He loved it when Emily smiled like that, with so much joy.
At the same time Mike heard the conversation and thought they were talking about something completely different.
They finished their training and went inside, no Nighlock attacks today. Soon day turned into night. Jayden and Emily retreated to their bedrooms claiming to be tired while the rest of the gang was up playing a game.
"They're going out tonight," Mike stated, he was devastated.
"Are you sure?" Mia asked.
"Yeah," Mike groaned. They heard some shutters move. "There they go..."
They crept to the kitchen window just in time to see Jayden and Emily sneeking past the front gates.
"How could she not tell me?" Mia asked, getting mad. She always told Emily everything and would never keep a secret like this from her and to add on that, Mia liked Jayden a lot.
Kevin saw the look on Mia's face. "This is not going to come out well..." He stated.
