Chapter 10
Emma's POV:
Its been a week since the David incident and Sean finding out everything. Mrs. Kwan decided to let the class work outside so here Sean and I are leaning against the front steps of the school with our books, binders, and notes all around us so it looks like we're working but we are really talking about the party Jay is throwing tonight.
I gotta say Sean has been really great this pass week. He and Jay have hung out a little bit, I can tell Jays still not thrilled about another guy being in my life, but hell have to get over that. Sean's hot and I hope he sticks around for a long time. He's made me feel special when Im around him.
Tuesday afternoon Im at my locker getting my art stuff from my locker when I peek down the hall and see Sean walking towards me with that oh so sexy smile planted on his face.
I turn to look in my locker so he doesn't see my pink cheeks. All of a sudden I feel an arm go around my waist and a hand grab my hip. I turn and see Mr. Basketball star Jimmy Brooks on my right hip. Okay so not on my hip but he's so close it feels like he is.
"Hey Emma." He says in a voice that most of the girls in this school go weak in the knees for, but I just find it annoying.
"What do you want Jimmy?" I ask try to push him off of me.
"For you to drop the loser you do and come have fun with a real man." He says running his hand around my waist and towards my backside.
I try to grab his hands and push him off of me and I keep telling him to stop, finally someone grabs me and pulls me to them.
"Get lost Brooks. She's not into losers." I hear Sean's voice and feel his arm tighten around my shoulders.
"No clearly she's into broke ass's." Jimmy says pissed and turns around and storms down the hall to his waiting losers.
"Thanks." I say looking up at Sean.
"No big deal. He's stupid anyway. You've got better morals then to run off with the guy that will do any girl who will spread her legs for him. But he's not smart enough to see that." Sean said as I close my locker.
"He's got a basketball for a brain." I say laughing with Sean.
"Where you going?" He asked as we start walking.
"Art. You?" I ask.
"I've got a free block. Jay wanted me to come help him in shop with something. Mind if I walk you? I mean they are both at the other side of the school and it..." he starts rambling.
"Its cool. I hate walking by myself anyway." I say smiling at him.
"Good." He says wrapping his arm around my shoulder and I snuggle closer to his side. We walk down the hall laughing.
I smile as I remember him standing with his hand on the wall behind me and were both smiling and laughing. Jay walks out of the class room to see this and clears his throat. I smile at them both and make a dash into my class room. But I hear Jay say "Standing close enough to Em, back there Cameron?" I laugh to myself as I get my stuff ready.
"What are you smiling at?" Sean asks me, pulling me out my flashback.
"Just thinking of how many people are gonna cram into Jays apartment tonight." I say turning to him.
"Why should it matter. You'll be the only thing that matters when it comes to him." He says looking up towards to the sky.
"I wish." I say as I look around and see Manny looking over towards to Sean. I swear the girl is so obvious. Everyone can tell that she wants Sean.
"What do you mean. You're the center of Jays world." He says looking back at me.
"I am most of the time. But when Jay has a party, its like I'm not alive." I tell him and running my hand though my hair trying to get my bangs out of my eyes.
"What do you mean?" He ask turning towards me.
"Jay will be doing one of three things tonight. One: Making out with some random girl. Two: Be walking towards his room with some random girl right behind him. Or Three: You wont even see him, because he and some random girl will be in his room doing things I don't even want to think about." I say shaking my head and laughing of the mental picture of Jay tonight.
"Got it. So what about you? What will Emma Nelson be doing tonight?" He asked me and lightly bumped his shoulder with mine.
"I'll be sitting on the couch, trying to keep the drunken losers off of me and mentally reminding myself to beat the hell out of Jay." I say laughing. "I hate when Jay has parties. I get stuck cleaning up the next morning and I meet a new girl come Saturday morning. Plus I get bored. I mean yeah, I know most of the people there, but Im not close to them. So youll most likely find me on the couch or trying to hide in a corner tonight." I say looking down at the step beneath me.
"What if you had a date?" Sean asked me a few minutes later. But he was quiet. Aw he's shy.
"Depends on who the guy is?" I say. I know full well this was his way of asking me out, but hey its fun to toy with guys.
"Hey Sean!" Manny says in what she must think is a sexy voice as she comes up and sits down next to Sean. God Manny give the boy room to breath!
"Manny." Sean greets nice enough only to turn to me and roll his eyes.
"So you going to Jays tonight?" She asked rubbing her hand up and down his arm. God I want to beat the shit out of her. She always gets in the way when I like someone. And they all end up with Manny. God! She's a slut and puts out! That's the only reason guys even like her.
"Yeah." Sean said broadly and crosses his arm so she cant touch him.
"Good. Me too. So you got a date?" She asked while smiling at him and placing a hand on his knee.
"Uh..." is all he gets out before my mouth opens.
"Yeah Manny he does. Me." I say and I slip my arms around Sean's left arm and he pulls one of my hands into his.
"Oh. Well have fun." Manny says pissed as can be and stomps down the steps and back over to the table where Liberty, J.T., Toby, Darcy, and Spinner were all sitting.
"Guess that took care of both of our questions." Sean says turning to me.
"I guess it does." I say smiling at him. I try to ignore the pounding against my chest that has been happing since Sean took a hold of my hand.
"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." I hear Jays voice say from down the steps. Sean and I both stop smiling and turn to Jay.
"Uh no. Just talking about tonight." Sean says.
"Cool." Jay says I see him look at our arms and hands so we both separate. As Jay walks up the steps.
He sits down next to me and hugs me. "Ew," I say trying to get out of his arms." Your all sweaty and you smell. All the more reason I hate gym. Go take a shower then you can hug me." I tell Jay laughing.
"Em that hurts." Jay says in his voice that he uses when we play with each other. You know you love me all the time. He says as he leans back on his elbows.
"Hogart lets go now!" we all hear Armstrong yell.
"Bye guys. See you two at lunch." Jay calls as he runs down the steps.
"Okay class time to start heading in." Kwan yells.
Sean and I pick up or stuff and start heading in the building. I feel a pair of eyes on me and turn to see Manny trying to burn holes in me. I just laugh to myself and move closer to Sean who accepts it by wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
Hours later I am standing in the middle of the living room as a people start to show up for the party. I look down at the mini jean skirt and lime green tube top I have on. I hope it looks okay. God I really want to have fun with Sean tonight. I walk into the hallway and check my make up and Im in the middle of tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear when I feel a pair of arms go around my waist.
"Hey." Sean says as I turn in his arms to face him.
"Hey you!" I say happily as I hug him.
"Wow!" He says as we brake apart.
"What?" I ask confused. I look around to see if Manny walked in, in some slutty outfit, or something.
"Em! You look. You look great." He says as he puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls me to him.
"Thanks. You look good too." I tell him walking into the living room.
I see Jay in the corner making out with some girl. I just roll my eyes as Sean leads me to the dance floor that has been formed in the middle of the living room.
This is going to be one long, but fun night. I think to myself as Sean pulls me closer to him and we move to the music.
