This one is sweet!
I like the ones where they're older and Chad likes her.
It creates fluffle. :-)
Enjoy!
"Y-you're what?" Chad looked at her.
"I'm going to this amazing boarding school in Colorado!" Emily repeated.
"But…Colorado? That's kinda far, don't you think?" Chad got a sinking feeling in his stomach.
'Emster can't leave. What if she finds some other guy? Chad, stop this. You can't be with her…'
"Not that far. Besides, I'll come home on holidays and some weekends."
'Besides, she doesn't like you! Otherwise she wouldn't be so ready to leave…'
"Chadinater?"
"Hmm?"
"You okay?" she looked at him with concern.
"Yeah, fine," he replied.
"I'm gonna miss you, Emster," he hugged her.
"I'll miss you, too," she smiled.
'I wish she wouldn't do that…'
Emily hugged Zeke and Jason, then had emotional good-byes with Troy and her dad.
"I'll call you guys as soon as I get settled," she promised.
"All of us?" Zeke asked.
"Yes," she laughed gently, "All of you."
At her last comment, she looked directly at Chad. 'What does that mean? Is it a sign…or what? God, I wish she wasn't leaving,' he thought.
Chad waited for the rest of the day and part of the next day for Emily's phone call. And when she finally called, he made an utter fool out of himself.
"Hello?" he hurriedly answered the phone in the kitchen.
"You let your cell die again?"
"Emster!" he smiled.
"Danforth, how many times must I tell you to keep your phone on the charger?" she teased.
"I'm sorry! My mind's…preoccupied."
"Ooh, is there a new girl in Mr. Danforth's life?"
"…You could say that," Chad responded.
"Well, do tell," Emily's voice said from the other end of the line.
"Um, let's not talk about me. How is your new school?" he quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, it's awesome! I toured the campus today with this guy…"
"Guy? What guy?"
"…A guy, Chad. Stop acting like Troy."
"Sorry! Anyways, as you were saying."
"Yes, well," she sounded confused, "It's an amazing school!"
"I'm glad you like it."
"Is something wrong, Chadinater?"
"Nope."
"You're lying."
"No, I'm not!"
"It's this girl isn't it?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that," he sighed. The girl he was referring to was, of course, Emily.
"What happened?"
"She moved," Chad answered.
"Aw, I'm sorry. Well, who said long distance relationships can't work out?"
"It's complicated."
"Well, hey, I'd love to talk about it, but some of the girls are going out to eat and I got invited…"
"Go have fun," Chad laughed.
"I'll talk to you later!"
"Bye," Chad heard her hung up and put the phone up slowly. "I'm such an idiot," he said to himself.
Why couldn't he just be a normal human being, and see his best friend's sister as his own sister?
Poor Chad... (That was a sad thing. Stupid unrequited-love bug. -Jordan)
Emily's been oblivious since she was like seven. Haha.
Oh well, it all works out in the end. Teehee.
Hope you liked it!
