Chapter 2 - Emmett
Sitting in the lunch hall was boring. Rose and I sat with a few other friends, talking about menial subjects. The bad weather cropped up a lot, not that it bothered me. I sat with a plate of cold spaghetti and meatballs in front of me. Untouched. Rose had an open can of diet cola in her hands, although she hadn't drank any.
We were talking about who would win the football playoffs next week when a girl thudded into my back. I stood up quickly, probably faster than I should have, as a reflex to catch her before she fell. She looked dazed as I asked her if she was okay.
"I, I'm so sorry. I, I…stood up too fast. Sorry" she apologised so much that it made me smirk. With her still in my arms, I told her it was okay. Although she didn't say anymore, she just stared for a second and then shimmied out of my arms and walked away, hurriedly.
I sat back down, Rose's eyes were stalking mines. A scowl upon her face let me know that she wasn't happy. Probably at the fact I'd helped the girl at all. Rose was the jealous type. But that didn't stop me loving her. She was everything to me, so I ignored her scowl and leaned over to gently kiss her on the lips. She didn't kiss back but her face had softened slightly as I pulled away.
