Chapter 7: Busted!

SCREECH

Emma awoke to a blaring sound in her ears. The alarm. It was time to start digging I guess. It felt only a minute passed of sleep before she had been awoken. Just then Mr . Sir came in screaming, " GET UP YOU LAZY SLOBS!"

Emma, just getting up, all of a sudden she saw X-rays face pop into view. Remebering the events of yesterday, she withered.

"Good morning sunshine!" Blared X-ray.

Emma tried to ignore him, "I mean, I shouldn't have to put up with him! I have to stick up for myself, what to I do!" She thought hopelessly. After a few seconds she had to answer.

"Hey." She said weakly.

"Lets go get breakfast, or whatever you call it." Said X-ray confidently.

"Um, I'll be right there, you go ahead." Emma said, try to catch a glance of Zero.

X-ray spotting Zero, and blared, "No, I will wait for you….babe." he added, with a smile looking at Zero.

"Oh..k, I'm ready now!" Emma said hopelessly.

…………

After the slop they had for breakfast, Emma went down to dig hurriedly.

A while later, X-ray called, "How you doing girl?"

"Just fine." She replied and looked away.

The first few minutes, Emma thought it was hopeless. But then, she started to get good and before she knew it she was done. She noticed everyone still wasn't even half way threw there own hole! Mostly X-ray, she noticed was the farthest from done.

As she left she was glad to get time away from X-ray. She took a shower, and as she walked to the break room. Noticing Zero was already there!

"Hey, how are you managing?" Zero spoke up first.

"Not so good with X-ray around." Said Emma relieved to talk to him. She felt she could tell him anything.

" I've noticed what he's been doing…" Said Zero strangely.

Sitting down next to him, Emma said, " I know. I don't know what to do! He's calling me hun, and babe, and has been so confident with himself about me he feels he can do whatever he wants to me!"

" Trying to kiss you last night! Plus, you didn't even give him the impression that you liked what he was doing!" Said Zero with rage.

" I know…thank you so much for saving me! Twice from him!" Said Emma warmly, moving closer to him.

" Well, It's ok now." Said Zero, swiftly moving his hand across her face.

" I just don't know what to do around him!" Said Emma sinking into his chest.

Bringing her head up, she looked into Zero's eyes. He wiped tears of her face, and gave her this wonderful feeling inside.

…..

After them having a warm, romantic conversation. They both sat there for a while enjoying each other's company.

All of a sudden without warning they both leaned in. They passionately kissed for 10, 20, 30 seconds? Emma didn't know, she was in the moment.

As they stopped, they looked up, and looked deep into each others eyes—

X-ray stumbled in. Out of breath. Obviously he worked as hard as he could to finish his hole to make sure he was watching Emma. The few seconds he took to catch his breathe, gave Zero and Emma enough time to pull off each other, and separate, and look normal.

X-ray looked suspiciously at the both of them. All of a sudden he puffed up and they knew they were in trouble.

"WHAT THE ---- IS ONYOUR LIPS, ZERO?" Screamed X-ray at the top of his lungs!

Emma looked at him…she gasped! He had some of her lipgloss on his lips! She quickly wiped it off her lips so hopefully X-ray wouldn't know it was related….bad chance.

Nice little cliff-hanger for you there!
