Hey guys, so I'm trying to cope and all, so this is my new chapter of Everything Changes. Forget the schedule, I'm just doing what happens. Sorry. Life of the Party might be up soon, I don't know yet.

(Emma's POV)

"What story?" Daniel asked.

"Well, Mia knew me when I was born, up until I was six, we would," she paused. "Hang out. Anyways, when I was six, my dad moved us to Australia where his friend lived. That's when I met Jessie and Jax, and we became besties. Me and Jess, I mean."

"Yeah," Jax replied. "I remember that one time, when I was spying on you two, and you had to reveal your crush, and you said it was—"

"Not important," Rose interrupted.

Jax laughed to himself. "Hey, Andi," Daniel said, speaking up. "How's your nose?"

"Better," Andi replied. "Jax, who was that guy?"

"No one," Jax replied, suddenly getting serious, and giving Rose a look.

Rose gave Jax a look as well, and both of them remained quiet for the remainder of lunch.

After school, I walked into the math room, for a Big Brains meeting, and found Rose in there. "You made the Big Brains?" I asked, sitting next to her.

"Yup," Rose replied. "Math has always been my favorite subject."

I nodded. "Me too, my dad teaches it," I said.

"Cool," Rose said. "My dad teaches English."

"Yeah, my dad used to teach math, now he's the principal, but he still teaches us Big Brains," I said.

The Big Brains meeting was amazing. Somehow, Rose knew the answer to every problem without even needing a minute of working out. Afterwards, she asked me if I wanted to come over. "I need help with the science homework," she explained.

"What about Lucy?" I asked. "Can't she help you?"

"Lucy and I aren't that close," I said. "It's basically Frozen, she's blocked me out for years. Except, you know, she isn't a queen, and I'm not a princess."

"Okay, I'll help," I said to Rose, and we walked home.

Rose's house was, well, loud. She had three dogs, who loved to bark, and they were good at it. "So, let's go to my room," Rose said, and I followed her up the stairs.

Her room was actually quiet. "I'm allergic to dogs," Rose explained. "So none of them can come in here."

"Your dad keeps dogs even though you're allergic?" I asked, that didn't seem like a great dad.

"He's never home, so Lucy basically does what she wants. They're her dogs," Rose explained. "Anyways, can we do the homework?"

"Um. Sure," I said.

After we finished the homework, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," Rose said.

I followed her downstairs, and she opened the door. "Hello Rose," a female voice said.

"Jessie!" Rose said.

A girl with brown hair like Jax's and brown eyes walked. "Nice house," she commented, looking around.

"Jessie, this is Emma," Rose said, pointing to me. "Emma, this is Jessie."

"Nice to meet you," I said to Jessie.

"Sure," Jessie commented.

Jessie was still looking around the room, and her eyes wandered to Lucy's room. "How's Lucy?" she asked.

"Same," Rose replied.

"Uh, Rose, can I talk to you?" she asked.

"Sure," Rose said, then walked outside.

Okay, so this is a short chapter, sorry! I'm having a little bit of writer's block, ugh. Anyways, thank you and Lacey!
