Life Goes On
I feel bored, so I decided to update. And, also, I haven't been getting any reviews for my story, Girl In The Ally, the one before this. Haven't you been reading and reviewing that story before reading this one? Please do! I'm feeling sad for that story. Poor thing. Please read that one and then this one! MUAH! Oh, and BTW, Emmett is NOT a vampire in this story. Sorry. I bet Emmett looks as gorgeous as hell in the sunlight. But, sadly, he isn't a vampire.
Vanessa's POV
During Math, I noticed Emmett was staring at me. I smiled at him.
"Aren't you Vanessa Gray, Connect 3's sister?" Emmett whispered. That was the first time I heard his voice. Well, after he said his name. It's the first time he talked to me.
"Yes." I said. He nodded and turned his attention back to the teacher. When the bell rang, everyone rushed out the room to lunch. In the hallway, I saw my friends with…Alyssa McCartley, the school's richest, most popular, and meanest girl in the school. I gasped.
"What?" Emmett asked.
"My friends…my friends…ditched me." I whispered. They all glared at me, and walked to us.
"Hi, Van-loser." Alyssa said. The others, my ex-friends, snickered.
"Yeah. Sure. Guys…what the heck?" I asked.
Melanie scoffed. "Well, we figured out you were so weird, we wouldn't wanna get weird, too, so well…you know." Melanie said. I felt something ripping inside me.
"Come on, Emmett." I said. We walked away together.
"Wow. Some friends." Emmett said.
"I know. We only had a friendship for 1 year." I sighed. "But I guess it's gone."
"Well…I guess you have me." He said. He linked his arm with mine. I giggled and we walked to the lunchroom. We got lunch and sat down at an empty table. While we were talking, I noticed him smile at a girl.
"Who is she?" I asked.
"My sister, Alice Rogers. She's really nice, but a shop-a-holic. She's in the 4th grade." Emmett said. She walked up to us.
"Hey, Emmett." She said. "Who is the girl?" She seemed nice.
"This is Vanessa Gray." Emmett said.
"Oh, yeah. Your famous, and your brothers are Connect 3, right?" Alice asked. I nodded. "Can I sit with you two?"
"Sure." I said. She sat down. Alyssa and my ex-friends walked up.
"The loser already has 2 friends? Their probably jokes, too." Alyssa said. Her 'gang' laughed.
"Probably as big of a joke as her." Melanie said. They laughed harder.
"Yeah. Her wittle parents are dead!" Sheniqua said.
NO POV
Vanessa broke right there. Tears ran down her face and then ran to the washroom, bursting out in tears. She looked at Alyssa and her gang laughing. It made her cry harder. While she was sitting in a stall, she heard someone calling her name.
"Vanessa! Come out!" It was a guy and a girl. Emmett and Alice. What is Emmett doing in here? This is the girl's washroom. Vanessa thought.
"Leave…please. And what's Emmett doing in here?" Vanessa asked.
"I have to check on you. I don't care if it's the Girls washroom." Emmett said. Vanessa sighed and unlocked the door, standing up. They gave Vanessa a hug, and she hugged back. They walked back to the lunch room, arms hooked together. When they saw Alyssa and the others glare at Vanessa, they pulled her tighter. Vanessa smiled.
"Thanks so much." Vanessa whispered.
"Anything for you." They whispered. They walked to their table and ate their food, and then the bell rang. They walked to their class. In Vanessa and Emmett's class, they were doing the class they both dreaded: Social Studies. They groaned as they knew what they were learning. Government.
"Dang. I hate this subject." Vanessa whispered to Emmett as they were doing a KWL Chart of Government.
"Worst. Class. Ever." Emmett said, poking the paper every word.
"What did the paper ever do to you?" Vanessa asked. "Beat you up?" They both smiled and finished what they were doing. When they finally finished, they now had Art, one thing they both loved.
"I want you to make a picture of the person you admire the most. Then, talk about them on the back. It could be your idol, your favourite band or singer, your brother or sister, your parents, or your friend. It doesn't even need to be human. It can be a pet. But I want you to think about who you are going to draw first. Be absolutely sure that you want to draw that person. I am giving you time to think. After you draw and your done, you can colour. Use pencil crayons, not markers." Mr. Bennett said. One boy named Jrake (I wanna spell his name like that. GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT?) Cunning raised his hand. "Jrake?"
"Can we use markers?" Jrake asked. Everyone laughed.
"I just said you can't!" Mr. Bennett said, laughing. Everyone laughed harder. Vanessa put her head on Emmett's shoulder, laughing hard. Tears came out of her eyes while laughing. Same for Emmett. No one could stop. They laughed for 2 more minutes and the laughter died away. People were now wiping their tears. "2 minutes wasted." Mr. Bennett smirked. "You can now start."
Vanessa thought about who to draw. After 8 minutes, she knew who to draw: Her brothers. They took her in when she needed them, her idols, she loved them. She began to draw Nate in the middle, starting with his face.
"Who ya drawing?" Emmett asked.
"You'll see." Vanessa said.
"That is so tight." Emmett said.
When Vanessa finished Nate, clothes, face, shading and such, the teacher told them to stop, because the period was over.
"Did you finish?" Emmett asked.
"Nope. You?" Vanessa asked.
"Nuh-uh." Emmett replied. "I only did the body and the face. And the clothes. You?"
"I finished a whole person." Vanessa said.
"Awwwww…" Emmet said sadly. "How many people are you doing?"
"The number after 2 and before 4." Vanessa said. "What about you?"
"One." Emmett said. "I don't like a lot of work."
"I don't either, but these are my idols!" Vanessa said. "I have too many."
"Ah…mine is Tokyo Hotel. Their really cool." Emmett said.
"Yeah, the front dude is pretty cool! I love his hair!" Vanessa said. "Billy, right?"
"Yeah." Emmett said.
"Alright, class!" Mr. Bennett said, and everyone was silent. "In Science, we are doing to see what happens when you put 12 Mentos into a 2L Coca-Cola bottle."
"Instead, can we drink the coke and eat the Mentos?" Jrake asked.
"No." Mr. Bennett said. "Now, what do you all think is going to happen?" Most kids raised their hands.
"Emmett?" He asked.
"I think the coke will fizz and the bottle will over-flow, and some coke fizzy-ness will spill out." Emmett said
"Okay, Vanessa?" Mr. Bennett asked.
"I think that the coke will fizz, like Emmett said, and then the coke will like, fly up 2 meters in the air! And coke will be everywhere!" Vanessa said.
"I like that." Mr. Bennett said. "Let's go outside now." Everyone walked outside and Mr. Bennett put the bottle in the middle of a 4 Square…thing. They stood around the box.
"Ready?" Mr. Bennett asked. Everyone cheered. Mr. Bennett put the rocket full of Mentos on the open top of the bottle. He pulled the string and ran back. The Mentos dropped in, and then the rocket came shooting up, coke following it. Everyone screamed, mostly the girls. Vanessa stared at it, cheering. She laughed as a few drops of soda hit her. She wiped it off her face, giggling.
"It's so high!" Vanessa said.
"About 2 Meters." Emmett said.
"Smarty." Vanessa said.
"Not my fault im that smart." Emmett said.
"Sureeee…" Vanessa said, rolling her eyes.

VANESSA'S POV
School is finally over. Thank god. That's probably the best thing in the world. Oh, and by the way…
I HATE SCHOOL!
Tee-hee.
Even though this first day had some ups and downs, I seriously don't care.
Ew, I sound like Alyssa. That…ugh.
I'm walking home with Emmett right now. I figured out that he lives 5 houses away! Cheers!
But now, we arrived at his house. Sad, isn't it?
He took my iPod headphone out of his ear. "Well, I'll see you later."
"See you." I said. We hugged and I began to walk to my house. I felt something in my backpack drop, but I guess it was just the wind. I put the headphones into my ears and began to listen to Believe In Me by Mitchie Torres in full blast.

EMMETT'S POV
I saw something fall out of Vanessa's backpack and quickly ran to it. It was some kind of notebook. I read the title. Vanessa's Songbook. Her songbook? She writes songs? I should give it back.
"Vanessa!" I called out. She didn't move, only continued to walk to her house…now a meter away…no!
"Vanessa!" I called again. Then I noticed that she was listening to her iPod. Probably on full blast. I could hear it from here! I sighed. I opened the book and skimmed through the latest song. The date said it was made 5 and a half months ago. It was called Your Call. I read it.
Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
Call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet[X4]
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have))
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have
Whoa. I walked into my house, wondering one thing…
Who was that song for?
AH FINALLY!!
Its done!
Im super, super, super sorry for the wait…
I have my stupid school XD
PLEASE Review! (If you wanna know who Vanessa wrote the song for, because it's in the next chapter!)
Love,
