"Hey." Freddie said to Emma two days after the previous incident. She was sitting in the library and staring in front of her. At first Freddie thought (or maybe hoped) she was staring at him, but after greeting her found that she was just zoned put again. "Earth to Emma." Freddie sang waving a hand in front of her eyes. Emma jumped after waking from her daze causing the boy to smile.
"Oh, hey." Emma said, red tinting her cheeks in embarrassment as Freddie sat down next to her.
"Are you blushing?"
"No, this is just my face." Emma said sarcastically. Freddie smirked. "What?"
"What do you see?"
"Huh?"
"When you space out, you have that far away look." Freddie said leaning against his elbows, his eyes only on the girl in front of him. "What do you see when you get like that."
Emma tried avoiding his eyes because she knew how easy it would be to get lost in them.
"I don't know." Emma shrugged. "-stories I guess… I like to make up stories in my head. I get so into it that I forget it's not real."
Freddie nodded to show he was listening and couldn't help but smile at her. Emma could feel her heart beating inside of her, knowing that that smile was just for her.
