Chapter 7
(West's POV)
I was getting sick of the sight of the loved up couple, they were constantly eating each other. Literally. Ok I guess I am jealous, they are meant for each other I know that, but seriously no need to make out twenty – four seven. I was walking towards our usual table. There they were trays on the table, with untouched food. They sure were turning to cannibalism. I frowned, unaware that I had stopped by a table a few tables from my original seat. They I heard a voice.
"Sick isn't it? Lunch is for eating, when I mean eating I mean food, not each other."
I looked down at blonde girl, she smiled at me. I recognised her, she is in my english class.
"I don't mind it, sometimes, but when you are eating and it's just you and them, I guess…"
"You can't help but be jealous?"
"It's like you read my mind."
I smiled at her. Fully aware that just a few tables away someone else was reading our minds.
"Sit. I'm sure the lovebirds, wouldn't mind a table to themselves for one lunchtime."
"Thanks. Err I'm West Rosen."
I put my tray down and extend my hand out, and she shakes it, and gestures for me to sit.
"Sam Collins."
"We have english together right?"
"Yes, and I believe art too."
"Oh right. So why you sitting by yourself?"
"I wanted to be by myself, the girls were going on about what happened at Bass' party last weekend, and I heard enough."
"Right. The Maggie fiasco, thank god she's alright."
"Yeah. That was a real bitchy thing to do. I mean Maggie is lovely."
"You know her?"
"Who doesn't?"
I pull a face at her, and she laughs.
"Right serious answer. I have textiles with her and we have a bundle of fun, and music, I keep trying to convince her to join glee club. She has a really good voice, I am quite happy for her to be the lead female vocals alone side her brother."
"Oh I see. Well Maggie & I are best friends, we bicker like siblings but we stick together, I thought I would lose her since her rising to the throne, but she really has stuck by me, ditching all the popular friends to be with Aaron & me."
"She's a true friend. By the way let me know if you ever want to take a breather and ditch our gangs and just hang."
"Sure. I'll keep that in mind."
(Aaron's POV)
Looks like West has found himself an admirer. Once I had withdrawn my tongue from my love, and we actually started eating, she noticed her best friend was missing.
"Where's West?"
I pointed to a table five tables away. Maggie raised an eyebrow.
"That's Sam Collins; we have music & Textiles together. She is really lovely."
"Sam Collins?"
"Yeah she is really, pretty, long platinum blonde hair, green eyes. Ooh maybe we could set them up!"
"Mags, darling I think we should let nature take its course. If it is their fate to be together then they will be."
"So fate brought us together?"
"No, we were destined to be together."
"Aw you're so sweet."
I smile at her and brought her lips to mine.
(Maggie's POV)
Well Coco Roberts is no longer Head Cheerleader instead it's Debbie Marsh. Out of fear. People fear her that's why she was chosen. It is not that I wanted to be head cheerleader, but to choose someone out of fear; it is a rather stupid thing to do. I'm sure May would do a wonderful job. Oh well what can I do? I probably be kicked off the team if Debbie didn't need me. I seem to be one of the only few who know all the techniques and routines.
Lately I have been wondering about my birth parents. I love my adopted parents so much. But I want to know why my birth parents gave me up. I want to at least know what they look like, so I know who I take after. Who I resemble more. It couldn't hurt to know, could it?
Emily Chan was engaged to Chris Koo. The man of her family's dream, the perfect bachelor. He was Chinese with a good background. Though she loved Chris in her heart she still loved another. The father of her little Sky, her first love. They were so young and so in love, but then he started to change. He became distant. And his mother told her, that he no longer loved her. Heartbroken she fled. To make matter worse, a month later she found out she was carrying his child. She did not have the courage to see him, let alone tell him. She remembers the birth of her daughter. She was so beautiful, so angelic. Emily saw a slight glow in her daughter. As she was holding her in her arms she turned to look out the window. It was a beautiful day, in New York City. She looked back at her child; she was like a little angel. That's when the name Sky popped into her head. But it was not long before mother and child would be separated. Emily's strict Chinese parents insist that she give up the child. Emily refused. She ran. She fled to New Jersey. But it was not long before she returned to the care of her parents. At 16, unemployed and a single mother really took a toll. She could not cope, with little's Sky's every needs. She begged her parents, to let her keep her daughter. But they refused. She had to make a choice. Keep her daughter and be disowned or give up her child and still have her family. She gave up her child. It has not been a day since then has she not regretted her choice.
(Emily's POV)
Here we were, at our engagement party. Chris & I. Everyone was so happy. I was happy. But I wished that there was someone else here. Here to celebrate this special moment with me. My daughter, beautiful Sky. She'll be 15 now; I wonder what she looks like. I have yet to tell Chris about my past. About the birth of my daughter, or the fact that I possess extraordinary abilities. The day I found out about my abilities was the day I gave my daughter away. I wanted to hide from the world, I was in pieces. My family could not find me; there was a huge police search for me. When I was with them all along. But they couldn't see me. Nothing was making sense. But then I suddenly appeared in front of my mother and father. My mother almost had a heart attack and fainted. That's when they told me that I had an extraordinary ability. My father also possesses an invisibility power. But I had also gained another power. I could phase through objects. I wonder if Sky has powers too.
I was so lost in my own thoughts i didn't know that Chris had came up to me; he wrapped his arms round me and pecked me on the cheek.
"Em, are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Just thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
My long lost child that I foolishly gave up. My baby girl. Well my 15 year old girl.
"Not much. Thinking about us. When..."
"When I first courted you."
"Courted? Do we still live in the 19th century?"
I laughed and turned to face him. He always spoke through history, through books, his love for writing, the way he spoke, that's what made me fall for him.
He was so perfect, but maybe not the perfect guy for me. The guy I loved, my first love. Was so flawed, but that was perfect for me. Because I would be there for him, at least I was.
"Come, the party is starting. We need to greet the guests."
I let him lead me away. Deep breathes.
(Peter's POV)
Since seeing Maggie this summer, it really has got me thinking about Jess again. I loved her, loved her so much. I just didn't buy the reason she dumped me. I had to find out the truth. I wanted to see her again; I wonder what she is up too. Probably married with kids, I mean she is thirty one years old. Ok if not married at least in a long term relationship or engaged. Me I am thirty two and still single, sure I have had my fair share of dates, but nothing really long term.
I don't know why but I have this strange connection to Maggie, I feel so protect of her but not in a brotherly or uncle way. I can't explain. She just important to me, and I know she loves Aaron and I pray that their relationship works out fine, no complications, as they are destined for each other, I know it, you just take one look at them and you know they are like the perfect couple from a typical chick flick. I once believe that's what Jess & I shared, but now I am unsure. I can't surely still love her. Can I?
(Emily's POV)
The party was in full swing. We were in Florida, Chris' home state. I miss New York, I miss it so much. I had so many wonderful memories, but then there was so many bad, I couldn't stay, I just couldn't. I could not bear to see him again. Not at the time anyway. But surely I am strong enough now. I mean it has been 15 years. 15 years. I loved him so. But I am strong now, I'm not a silly naïve teenage girl, I am thirty one, a grown woman. I will return to that state. My home state, to the Plaza hotel, where I would have my dream wedding. Yes. I Emily Chan shall return to New York City, with my head held high.
Little to Chris Koo's awareness and many others. Emily Chan was just an alias, a name to hide her true identity. To hide from herself.
please reviews my lovelies :) x x
