--Chapter 7: Emma tells Emily--
--By: EvilEmmaEvans--
-----------------------------------------------------
Summary: Taylor starts a proposition chain through the group that should end with Troy falling in love with her.
(A/N: A proposition chain is a chain of threats almost that have to be done in a certain amount of time or else the last person is jinxed. – Emma)

--2 Days Later--
"At least we can get our Art project done," Emma said to Emily.
"I know, I can't believe that this is the first time since getting it 2 days ago that we've had time to do it," Emily said as she got her camera set up so that they could get a clear picture of the sunset.
"Okay, the paper's set up, the camera's set up, we both have pencils, and we have the paint. Do we need anything else?" Emma asked.
"No, I don't think so," Emily said as she organized the paint and paintbrushes.
"Hey Em, I need to tell you something, and you have to promise not to tell Troy," Emma started.
"Okay, I promise; what is it?" Emily asked turning to look at her best friend.
"Well, someone at school likes Troy and so she started something called a proposition chain in order to get him by the end of the month," Emma said as she carefully tiptoed around saying who liked Troy.
"Em, I already know that Gabriella likes Troy, but why would she need to start a proposition chain to get him? And what is a proposition chain?" Emily asked.
"Number 1: I wasn't talking about Gabi and number 2: a proposition chain is when someone wants someone or something so they start a chain of offers in order to get what they want," Emma explained.
"Okay, who are you talking about?" Emily asked.
"Taylor," Emma said before Emily even finished talking.
"Oh, okay, that's… wait Taylor likes Troy?" Emily asked in shock.
"Yeah, why, what's wrong with that?" Emma asked with a hint of guilt in her voice.
(A/N: The hint of guilt in Emma's voice is from Emily's reaction to finding out that Taylor likes Troy and she thinks that she shouldn't have said anything. – Emma)
"Nothing's wrong with that, its just that Troy has started to get annoyed with Gabi and has started liking Taylor. That's why earlier this month, he was really upset when Gabi pushed Ryan out of his seat next to her so Troy could sit next to her," Emily explained.
"You mean the day that there was only a spot next to Ryan and Taylor?" Emma asked.
"Yep, that's the day," Emily said.
"Oh… Em, we forgot about the sunset!" Emma exclaimed.
"It's okay, we can still get a good picture now," Emily said getting up and taking a picture of the sunset.
As Emily took pictures of the sunset, Emma took the Polaroid's and started drawing a college on the huge piece of paper that they had set up. Once all of the pictures had been drawn on the paper, Emma started up the conversation.
"Continuing with what I was saying earlier, I have a proposition for you," Emma said as she carefully started to draw a big sunset behind the small ones.
"Okay, I'm listening," Emily said as she dipped a paintbrush into a red-orange colored paint.
"Well, if you tell Zeke tomorrow about the proposition chain, then you can take 13 different outfits of mine that you really like that I don't wear," Emma said.
"What to you classify as an outfit?" Emily asked.
"Top, bottom, shoes, and accessories," Emma said smiling.
"Okay, deal, but I think we should go inside now, since we're losing light fast out here," Emily said putting her camera around her neck, picking up the paints and paintbrushes while Emma picked up the paper.

--Later That Night, After Emily Left--
"Hey Jason, it's Emma, I know it's late, but I was just calling to let you know that I told Emily about the proposition chain and gave her a day to tell Zeke. I guess I'll just see you at school tomorrow, if you don't get this message. Well, sleep well and good night," Emma said leaving a message on Jason's cell phone before falling asleep.

--2 Hours Later--
"Hey Emma, are you awake?" Ryan asked coming into his sister's room and sitting on the edge of her bed.
"No," Emma said sitting up and lightly smacking him.
"Are you sure, because you sure seem like you're awake," Ryan said smiling as he kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, I'm sure. What do you want?" Emma asked.
"Well, Jason called Kelsi and Kelsi called me so I figured that it was safe to tell you," Ryan said.
"Shouldn't you be waking Sharpay up and telling her, so that she can call Chad and then Chad can call Taylor?" Emma asked as she leaned her head on Ryan's shoulder.
"You know, I could, but I wanted to wake you up, since you woke me up a few nights ago," Ryan said as he laid her back down on her bed and then rolled onto his side so that he could face her.
"Oh, so this is pay back?" Emma asked as she rolled onto her side to face him as well.
"Exactly," Ryan said kissing her forehead again and letting her fall asleep on his chest again.
