Chapter 10

Emma

"He kissed me." I say.

Andi and Jamie pounce off the bed and in unison shout,

"WHAT?"

I grin sheepishly. "Well, it was on the cheek..."

"Doesn't matter! A kiss is a kiss and I can't believe my brother didn't tell me this!" Jamie exclaims.

"What happened?" Andi asked me.

I sat down on my bed, facing them. "Well, we were walking in the park, talking, when an old lady came up to us needing help..."

Flashback

"I'm sorry to bother you, but would you mind helping me find my purse? I put it down on a park bench somewhere and I seemed to have misplaced it." The old woman said to us.

I smiled at her. "Of course ma'am. Where did you last see it?"

She leads us over to an area of the park and her, Jax and I begin to look for her purse. After a while, I spot a brown leather purse sitting against the trunk of a tree.

I walk over to it, picking it up. "Is this it?"

The woman's face lights up and she hurries over to me, Jax in tow. She takes the bag, putting it over her shoulder.

"Yes it is! Thank you!"

"No problem, it was nice meeting you." I said.

She nods, and them looks at Jax and I.

"Well, aren't you two a cute little couple? You've got a nice girlfriend here, young man."

I begin to blush. "Oh, we aren't-we're not... I mean-"

I get cut off by Jax's arm being put around me and he grins at the old woman. "Why yes, yes I do." He then plants a kiss on my cheek.

My heart was pounding so wildly I thought for sire he would hear it. Every nerve ending was on fire at the close proximity, and his arm was still around me.

She smiled at us. "Young love." She waves and then sets off to her car.

I turn to face Jax, still blushing. "Why'd you tell her we were dating?"

He smiles, amusement twinkling in his eyes. "Who am I to deny an old woman of her thoughts?"

At this we both laughed, the awkwardness I'd been feeling melting away.

End Flashback

"So, thats what happened." I finish.

"I can't believe this!" Jamie says, picking up her phone.

"What are you doing?" Andi asked her.

"Texting Jax." She replies, not looking up.

I give her a horrified look and grab the phone out of her hands. "No!"

"What was that for?" Jamie says, reaching for her phone.

"Do not ask him about this, I'm serious Jamie."

"What not?" She pouts.

"I'm already a year younger. I don't want him thinking I'm immature or something for reading too much into it." I state.

"Oh please, this is my brother we're talking about, remember? I know what he's like, he won't think that."

"Either way, we do not mention this." I look from Andi to Jamie. "Understood?"

"Understood." They say back.

"Good." I respond. "Now go to sleep."

Jamie rolls her eyes. "Yes, Mom."

I merely change into my pajamas and then crawl into bed. I am about to close my eyes when my phone pings with a text message.

Jax: Good night, Em

I smiled at the nickname. He had called me Em before today, and I had liked it. I guess the name stuck.

I quickly sent him a text back saying good night, and then closed my eyes with a smile.

I awoke to the alarm clock blaring. I groaned and turned it off, frustrated that it had interrupted my dream. I tossed the covers aside and stepped off my bed.

I looked to the beds across from me and saw that while Andi was already stirring, Jamie was still asleep. I only sighed and got dressed.

I looked in my closet for something to wear and finally laid an outfit out. I took a quick shower and then used a spell to change my clothes. I was now wearing blue skinny jeans with a purple fitted tank top and gold sandals.

I curled my hair and put on a little makeup, checking myself in the mirror.

"Well, doesn't someone look nice today. I wonder why..." Andi let her voice trail off as she raise her eyebrows at me.

I glared at her. "Oh be quiet Andi."

She only laughed as she laced up her Converse. There was a knock at the door, and Andi took a break from teasing me to get it.

"Hey, come on in." I heard her say.

I couldn't see who it was so I just finished putting my books in my bag, followed by my phone.

"Hey guys." My hand froze in midair as I was putting my notebook in my backpack at the recognition of that Australian accent.

I did a quick subtle the check in the mirror then turned around.

"Hey Jax." I smiled.

He smiled back at me. "Hey Em, you look...you look great."

I blushed. "Thanks." But on the inside, I was doing cartwheels.

Andi coughs. "Hello? Still in the room, and I would appreciate it of you two did your little couple thing elsewhere."

"Andi!" I hissed.

She only shrugs and then goes over to Jamie's bed, yelling in her ear.

"Wake up, your brother's here!"

Jamie groans and opens her eyes. She glares at Andi and then hits her with one of her pillows.

"You didn't have to scream like that, you know!"

"Well, how else am I supposed to get your attention?"

"Guys!" I yell. Andi and Jamie both look at me. "Its 8:20, class starts in ten minutes, so Jamie would you please get dressed and Andi, will you please stop yelling?"

"Fine." They both grumble.

"Thank you." I sigh.

I turn back to face Jax as Jamie changes using magic and gets ready for class.

"You wanna head off to class?" He asks me.

"Sure." I grab my phone off the bed and walk towards the door.

"Ladies first." Jax says, motioning to the doorway.

I laugh, rolling my eyes as I walk out into the hallway. Jax follows me out and closes the door behind him and we start off to Agamemnon's.

The memories of yesterday come flooding back, but not for me. For Andi. Its so completely obvious that Philip and Andi like each other, though I do see Diego with her sometimes.

"Why won't Philip ask Andi out?" I ask Jax, he's friends with him, he should know.

"What?" He looks a little out of it for a second.

I sigh. Boys. "Why...won't...Philip...ask...Andi...out?" I say slowly, as if I'm talking to a small child. "Its obvious they like each other. Unless I'm wrong, and he's sending mixed messages." I raise an accusatory eyebrow at Jax.

"He does like her, of course." Jax is quick to defend his friend.

"Then why doesn't he just ask her out?"

"I don't know, fear of rejection? Its very common you know."

"Well obviously. But he should still go for it. I mean, does he know how hard of a wait it is for the girl?" I said exasperatedly. "If you like a girl you should ask her out, simple."

He laughs. "Its not that easy."

"Sure it is. Say I'm Philip, and you be Andi." I clear my throat, trying to sound like a guy. "Hey Andi, I really like you and was wondering if you would go out with me."

"No." Came Jax's response.

"Jax!" I glared at him.

"I thought I was Andi." He replied.

I hit his arm and he started laughing. "What?" He asked through his laughter.

"Thats not how it was supposed to go." I tell him.

"But thats one way it could go." He states. "And thats what every guy is afraid of."

Is that what you're afraid of? I couldn't help thinking. Does he even like me? Sure he kissed me on the cheek yesterday, but does that really mean anything?

These things kept swirling through my head and I couldn't seem to shake them.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Jax said, breaking the focus I had on my internal battle.

I just smiled. There was no way I was letting him know what I was thinking.

A/N: Anyone else freak out when they read the first line? I'm so bad XD. Anyways, did you like the flashback? And the little practice Jax and Emma did? That was cute. Yup, no official Jemma yet fellas, but they will come out on top. What do you think should happen with Andi? Philip or Diego? Leave your choice in the reviews, I will definitely look into what the people want! Speaking of reviews, from now on, i would like guests to leave a name. Its kind of weird responding to just "Guest" a lot of the time. Also, please refrain from choosing an inappropriate guest name. There are yoinger accoubts on this site and we should just be respectful in general. I let ONE go this time on abother story of mine because I liked what the review said, but after this any reviews, good or bad, with an inappropriate name will not be allowed to be posted. Thank you. Don't forget to favorite and follow! Question: Are there any of my fellow readers out here that aren't from the US? Because honestly, as an American, that is pretty cool to me.

Jemma4Ever: Sorry I couldn't help out more, maybe someone else can help I don't know why it wouldn't work.

Guest: Happy to know you are also a devoted Lovatic! Some of your questions were answered in this chapter...and some weren't. XD, guess you'll haveto stick around to find out more! Just remember, I'm no longer responding to 'Guest' so try making an account or using a name, thanks.
