The Blue Lagoon: Life After

Chapter Three

Emma entered her high school and felt everyone's eyes on her. She breathed in shaky breaths. She wasn't used to being somewhere with so many people.

Her friends stood in the hallway by her locker. They saw her immediately and moved to surround her.

"Emma! I'm happy you're safe," said one girl.

"We were worried," said another girl.

"I can't believe you were on a deserted island for four months with him," said the last girl.

Emma nodded. "Yeah, it was... crazy. Dean and I had to take care of ourselves," she said. "I don't know how I could have done it without him there."

At that moment she saw him in the hallway.

Dean.

He stood by his locker. A cigarette was between his fingertips.

Everything inside Emma jumped with joy and anticipation. She knew that she had to talk to him.

I don't care what my parents say. I have to see him.

"Hey, guys, we'll talk to you later, okay? There's something I have to do," said Emma.

Emma separated from her friends. She walked to Dean.

When she was close he reached out for her. He enveloped her in a hug. She never felt safer than at that moment... being in his arms.

"Dean," she said in a whisper. Dean kissed her forehead.

"I missed you," he whispered.

"Me, too," said Emma.

"I think your minions were lost while you were gone," he said. "They must be thrilled now that the Queen Bee is back."

Emma grimaced. "Yeah, it's something like that," she said. "Listen… how are you? I haven't seen you or talked to you since we were in Trinidad."

"Yeah. It's been a while." There was an unreadable expression on his face.

"I would have called you, but I don't have your number."

Dean nodded. "Give me your phone," he said.

Emma complied.

Dean typed his phone number into her phone. "There. Now you don't have an excuse not to talk to me."

Emma smiled. She knew she should mention to him that her parents did not want her to spend time with him. She decided not to. She didn't want to ruin the moment.

Suddenly, the last thing she wanted to do was to be there at school.

"I wish we weren't here," she said quietly.

Dean said nothing. He glanced at her group of friends standing by the lockers. "Okay," he finally said. "Then let's get out of here." He reached for her hand.

"Where are we going?" asked Emma.

"Anywhere but here," said Dean. He pulled her away.

Emma followed after him without a look back.
