New Chapter! Here are some comments about the last chapter. Congrats to East of the Sun for getting the Wedding Singer reference! Richard H. Blake who plays Warner, played Glen Gulia in The Wedding Singe: Musical and Glen's song is All About the Green. The reference was in the part about Warner being a model. The main hint was: It also looked a tad bit eighties-ish. Also for some people: Emmett doesn't seriously hate Elle, he just said that because she was able to move the couch and he wasn't. OK now on to the chapter. Please review!
The first couple of days were pretty boring. When Emmett wasn't moving things (OK, it was mainly me), he was working on starting his new law firm. When he was doing that, I was either reading, watching television after the cable-guy came, e-mailing the Delta Nu girls, or talking to Paulette. Since no of us could cook full meals, we ordered takeout. Things didn't get interesting until a couple of days after we moved in.
I just a French manicure from Paulette, the day it happened. I opened the door and Bruiser started barking. "Bruiser, be quiet," I whispered to him. I looked around. There was a strange women talking to Emmett. I could only see the back of her head. Her hair was brown mixed with some gray and looked slightly fried, she obviously had done damage to it by curling it when she was younger. I tried to tip-toe over to them, but since I was wearing wedges, I tripped. "Ow." The woman looked over at me while Emmett was shaking his head. Bruiser jumped out of his bag. Luckily, I didn't land on him. Emmett came over to me. "Elle, when will you buy more sensible shoes? I knew this would happen sooner or later." He helped me get up. I glared at him.
"Elle, this is my mom. Mom, this is my roommate, Elle." I shook her hand. "It is very nice to meet you," I told her. She smiled, "And it is a pleasure to meet you. Didn't you win Brooke's murder trial?"
"Yes, I did, but I wouldn't have done it without Emmett."
She smiled. "I see you are a Delta Nu."
I was confused. How did she know that? I looked down. Of course! She could tell that by my shirt. It had the Delta Nu symbol rhinestoned on it. "Yes, I am."
Emmett had to butt in, "She was actually president."
"Really?" she asked. She looked kind of shocked.
"Actually, I was president of the Delta Nu UCLA chapter," I said.
Ms. Forrest smiled and said, "One of my nieces is a Delta Nu at Boston College."
She looked at her watch. "I'm so sorry, I have to go. It was nice meeting you Elle." Then, she left.
"God, that was embarrassing," I told Emmett. "It was more awkward, if you ask me," he said. "Do you think she sees me as a typical California Girl?" I asked him. He put his arm around me. "I think she more was slightly shocked by you." I was ready to cry. "No, no! Not like that! I meant she was shocked that you would be willing hang out with me." I wiped off the tear that shed and laughed. I said, "She was shocked that her geeky son would hang out with a pretty, blonde girl from California." He laughed and nodded, "You're probably right."
Later that day, my phone rang while I was helping Emmett with his paperwork. I went to my room. "Hello?" I asked. "Omigod! Elle! It's Kristine!" I smiled. Kristine has always been perky, yet she can kick your butt with her martial arts. "Hey, how is it going?"
"Great. Guess what?"
"I have no clue."
"I'm coming over to Boston for the grand opening of one of my father's studios." Did I mention that Kristine's father is Mr. Miyagi?
"Omigod! No way! When will be coming?"
"In a couple of days."
"I see you in couple of days then."
"See ya."
"Bye." I hung up.
I rushed out my room. "Emmett! Guess who is coming to Boston in a couple of days?"
He looked slightly annoyed. "Let me guess. It would either be your parents, one or more Delta Nu, or someone that is rich that you know." He raised an eyebrow at me while having a smirk. "No need to be rude," I said, "And it a Delta Nu. It is Kristine Miyagi to be exact." He seemed curious. "I have never met her." I knew he would know who she is. "Her dad is Mr. Miyagi." He nodded. "Well, I'll be happy to meet her." I started to leave the room. "Oh Elle, I know someone who is coming to Boston soon." I turned around. "My friend from high school, Kevin, who is a psychologist. He is coming over to start his own business." I smiled. "I'll be happy to meet him."
Don't worry, there will be some more Elle/Emmett later. To explain Kristine's name: April Berry, who plays her, was told by the director to come up with a name for her character and she choose Kristine Miyagi because her dad kind of looks like Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid. All of the Delta Nu girls with the exception of Elle, Pilar, Margot, Kate, and Serena had to do it. Also, I started Spanish class and we had to pick a name and I choose Pilar! Please Review!
