EMILY'S P. O. V
After school, I headed home; actually I was running because of rain.
I was supposed to meet Maya at her house at 4:30 but when I left school it was 4.
I was zooming fast through the storm as it gave me a cold chill around my neck.
~Ring~
"Hello?" I called into the phone.
"Emily? Should I pick you up from school? It's pouring!" called Maya.
"No worries. I will be there in 5 minutes! My swim meeting was late." I said.
"I sure hope so. See you soon." she said.
"See you." I told her and hung up.
I continued running like a cheetah through the storm until I turned onto Maya's
street. With a high powered sprint, I managed to knock on her front door.
"Hey Em, I am glad you made it." said Maya as she opened the door.
"Hey Maya." I said and walked inside.
I took my coat, backpack and boots off.
"Is anyone home?" I asked.
"Nope." she called out quickly.
"I really need to talk to you about my behaviour lately." I told her.
"Okay, let's just come upstairs." she said.
We walked upstairs and sat down on Maya's bed.
"Well, I am so sorry about how I went to Hanna's." I said.
"Oh you shouldn't be sorry. It's completely fine. I just miss you." said Maya.
"Thanks, but I really am sorry and I want to make it up to you." I exclaimed.
"How?" she asked me.
"Well, I was thinking. We haven't been dating for a long time but I do like you
a lot. I thought that maybe we can do something like go to a date." I said.
"As much as that sounds amazing; I was thinking maybe something else will be
good." she said with a smile.
"Like?" I asked.
"Like maybe a night spent together when no adult is around to tell us what to
do." said Maya with a wink.
"I see where you are going." I said.
"Where?" she asked under her breath.
"A place in the dark, underneath covers." I answered dramatically.
"You are correct and when is it possible to take place?" she asked me.
"Friday night; your house." I said with a smile.
"That's set. Friday night; my house and perfecto." she yelled out.
I laughed with a smile.
"Where is your mom?" I asked.
"At work; she won't be home by I believe 7:30." answered Maya.
I grinned and we went outside into her backyard.
"Oh my gosh, you have the big swing!" I yelled out.
"Yeah." she said with a smile.
"Want to sit down on it?"
-1 hour later-
"Is it 6 yet?" I asked.
"It's 10 past 6, why?" asked Maya.
"Oh man! I promised my mom to be home by 6:30!" I shouted.
"I can drive you." she suggested.
"But she will wonder who drove me." I told her.
"I will drive you to the start of your street." said Maya.
"Okay. Can you?" I asked her.
"Let's go." she said and grabbed me by the hand.
-10 minutes later-
"Well here we are, at the beginning of your street." said Maya as she came to a
stop.
"Thanks." I said and walked out of her car.
She walked out of her car and kissed me on the cheek.
"See you at school?" she asked.
"Yeah." I said and bit my lower lip.
She smiled and sat back into her car. With a goodbye wave, she drove away.
I walked to my house.
"I am home!" I shouted as I stepped into the foyer.
"Hey Em." said my mom.
"Guess who came home?"
Then at that moment, my father walked into the foyer in his uniform.
"Dad!" I shouted and ran to give him a hug.
"Emily! I missed you so much." he said with a giggle.
"How come you managed to come home 2 weeks early?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I just did." he answered with a smile.
I hugged him once more.
-30 minutes later-
"I heard what happened with Julie Pert's daughter." said my dad during dinner.
"Horrible; who would do such thing?"
"I don't know." I lied.
"Honey, Cassandra's mother invited us to her funeral. It's Friday morning." said
my mom.
"You will be able to come right?"
"Yeah of course but after the funeral, may I go to Aria's for the night?" I asked.
"Sure, as long as you will be at the funeral." said my mom.
I nodded and finished up my dinner.
"Thanks for the food mom." I said and washed my dish.
I ran to my room and called Maya.
"Hey, I am allowed to come for the night." I said.
"Great." she exclaimed.
-4 hours later-
After finishing up my homework, at 11:00 I went to sleep.
