Emma's Pov

I was sitting on my bed, kinda bored wanting to find someone to piss me off so I have something to do, but something told me to stay in my room and wait. Suddenly, someone starts knocking on my door.
"What do ya want?" I ask opening the door. Then realize who it was.
"Oh hey Fult, what's up?" I ask.
"Can I talk to you?" Fulton asks.
"NO, I'm just gonna let one of my best friends stand out in the hall looking stupid, while I sit here twiddlin' my thumbs." I tell him sarcastically. He smiles weakly and steps into my room. I sit on my bed and He sits on my roommate Julie's bed. Julie had gone to Dinner already and Kory was visiting, she was on the bed, sitting next to me. I think its stupid how they refused to put us in the same room because we were.. how did the secretary put it.. Oh yea, Extremely close friends.. freakin homophobe. Kory got put in Connie's room.
"So, you wanted to talk?" I ask unsuccessfully trying to make my voice 100 % serious.
"Uh, yea. How do you know when you're attracted to someone who you aren't supposed to be attracted to?" Fulton asked.
"There isn't a person your not supposed to be attracted to." Kory says.
"So whose the girl, one of your teammates?" I inquire devilishly. Remembering I come in regular contact with both girls.
"No, it's not a girl." Fulton says lowly.
"Yea, sure. You want to know stuff about being attracted and then say its not a.." I say with a laugh but instantly trailed off when I realized what he meant. Kory and I just stand there silently.
"So.. Uh.Whose the guy then?" I ask softly. Which I only did once, the first time Kory and I had ever kissed. Fulton kept looking down at the floor. I got up and move to Julie's bed to sit next to him.
"C'mon you can tell me. I'm not gonna be less friendly towards. Look at where you're at. You're in a room with two girls who cant share a room because they are 'To close of friends'" I said using my infamous stupid-die- my-hair-red-so-I-don't-hear-blonde-jokes secretary voice at the end.
"I was wrong." Fulton tells us. We look at him quizzically. He continues: "I actually thought Emily was going to be serious for once."
"Me? Serious? Never!" I joke. He smiles and Kory slightly giggles. Then it hits me. He's using my humor to stall his answer.
"So, Who is the dude you have a crush on?" I say trying not to laugh at the memory of him turning bright pink when I used to tell everyone he's gay. Then I thought for a moment. What if I had always been right, What if I was telling people the truth that appeared to everyone so.fictional. What if The reason he turned so pink is because he knew I was right. Damn.
"Your just gonna be pissed of when I tell you." Fulton warns.
"That's ok Kory will protect you." I tell him.
"Yea," Kory tells him stepping closer.
"OK, I like Portman." He says looking down at the ground. I feel my eyes get bigger as I jump up.
"Ewww.Why??" I ask, staring at him.
"Why do you like Kory?" He asks before turning to Kory and Saying "NO offence, Kory." She shook her head.
"None taken, I see your point." Kory replies. I felt oddly sick.
"Why you taken his side?" I ask, angrily.
"I'm not I just said I see his point." Kory said. I didn't like Portman. I loathe Portman now. I sat on the bed calming myself down. I look up and Fulton's looking at me as if waiting for approval.
"I'm not gonna tell you yes or no, either way you're gonna go out with him. But if he breaks your heart I'm gonna break his legs." I tell him before climbing off the bed and out of the room.
