Chapter 6

Emery woke up early for her nine o clock class Monday morning with excitement. She put on a short ballerina skirt, leggings with a designer tee and leather jacket. She threw on her black ankle boot pumps and added a headband. Looking in the mirror she thought it wasn't the typical Yale student outfit, but was content with her wardrobe that had articles from every style. After she finished getting dressed she checked her email and she about fainted when she read the letter from Jennifer the editor Yale daily.

Dear Emery,

I am beyond impressed with the article you sent in and your application.

However, the application was not due until tomorrow afternoon and therefor i cannot offer you the staff position until we have read all the applicants and have voted. Although, I am making an executive decision to have your story front page of tomorrows daily. Congratulations! This is a huge honor and I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Baldwin

"Oh my god, I can't believe it! They made article the front page!" Emery squealed with excitement. She grabbed her book bag and iPad and ran out of her room.

"Hey, you going to class early?"

"Yes, I have to get today's edition of the daily!

"I don't think it comes out until 10 or 11and it's only eight. Grab some breakfast and coffee before you go."

"Good idea."

"Can I ask you a kind of personal question?"

"Shoot."

"How did your wardrobe change overnight? Well, the last two days rather." Taylor whirled an eyebrow and Emery laughed.

"Taylor, I'll let you in on a little secret since we're roommates and journalist. I arrange my outfit in accordance with events I plan on covering. I guess you could call it a disguise. The party Saturday night was my cove story as you probably already know."

"But you didn't fit in and isn't that the whole idea of a disguise?" Taylor pointed out the obvious.

"Yes but I didn't want to blend in with the party crowd. I dressed the opposite way so if the campus police saw me in the hallway they wouldn't suspect I had ever been there."

"That's clever and careful planning. You are good at you do I'll hand you that one."

"So that date last night," Emery smiled big and winked.

"Ok. So Eric is not as bad as I first thought and I'm even going out with Saturday. You seemed to enjoy yourself! You and Grayson really click."

"I had so much fun! We do and it's kinda weird but amazing at the same time. Well, I'm going to head to class. See yeah later!" Emery grabbed an apple from the counter and headed to her first class.

Emery was glad she left early because the lecture hall was already filling up ten minutes before it was starting time. Emery found a seat near the back because all seats closer were full.

"Good morning class! I see most of you are early, good. I am professor Benton and you are in LIT 215; The Great Detectives. If you would please pass your pre-assignment to the end of each row my assistant will collect them."

"Is anyone sitting here?" A brown hair guy with blue eyes asked Emery pointing to the seat next to her.

"No." Emery moved her stuff, "We're handing in the pre-assignment." She mentioned to him.

"Thanks." He smiled and handed it to her.

"Roman, late as a usual," the preppy red head assistant smirked in disgust at him.

"Wouldn't want to disappoint," he rolled his eyes at her and Emery just sat dumbfounded. "She's my ex."

"Oh. I really don't care."

"I'm Roman if you were wondering." Roman smiled at her his green eyes beaming.

"I wasn't," Emery replied without emotion and he chuckled.

"So are you going to tell me your name Miss."

"No."

"Hard to get are we?"

"No." Emery put her backpack on and was about to leave. "I'm Emery," she turned back to him after taking a few steps.

"Now was that so hard?"

Hello Fellow Atrian Lovers!

Please, don't bite my head off or throw things at me! I do realize this isn't as Remery and Draylor that you probably want, but I promise it's worth the read! There's a lot of character and plot development. Again I took a risk when editing this to make Drake and Roman's characters less seen in the beginning. If you keep reading you'll understand why, but I'm not giving anything away!

Thank you for the reads and comments so far!

Keep them coming if you want this story posted to the end! Share with your friends.

Of course, check out my longer story Infinity!

Peace,
