Chapter 7 Hanging With a New Crowd

Emma went over to Sean and just smiled and was unsure of just about everything. She asked herself why did agree to do this? I barely know these people but here I am getting in their car and trusting them. All I know is that they are Sean's friends but that just isn't enough. She was silent at first and didn't even say hi. It's not like they cared. Bradley was listening to his headphones on high volume so even if she spoke he wouldn't hear her. The silence made her very uncomfortable so finally she said something.

Emma: So where are we going?

Alex: The mall

Emma: Oh I should've known that. I did know that. So. . . (Sean noticed that she didn't know what to say so he said something.)

Sean: So I'm glad you could come.

Emma: Me too! I'm shocked my mother let me since that whole fight yesterday. You know how she can be.

Jason: Wow you actually had a fight with your mom. I didn't know you kind of girls did that?

Emma: So now I have my own kind of people?

Jason: Yeah a whole group of them just running all over the place. The kind of girls that tell me how to live my life and think they are better then us rebels or whatever you think we are.

Emma: You can think that but I'm just telling you that you are wrong.

Jason: See there you go again.

Emma: No I'm just giving my opinion and you don't have to listen. That's what other people do when you're talking. (She said pleased with herself with a small grin on her face.)

Jason: Oh really! Well if you keep talking like that you'll regret it.

Emma: Is that some kind of threat?

Alex: I think it was Emma.

Sean: Guys stop it! Remember what I said earlier or is your memory really that bad?

Jason: Ah how sweet of you sticking up for your boss.

Sean: Nobody's the boss of anybody. Maybe you should keep your eyes on the rode before you kill us all.

Five minutes later they arrived at the mall. Sean told Jason, Bradley, and Alex that Emma and him would meet them inside. They needed to talk. Emma was glad to get away from them even though if it was just for a few minutes.

Sean: I get the feeling you're not having a good time.

Emma: Really you have? When was that?

Sean: I'm sorry about them but we'll leave soon.

Emma: Soon is just not soon enough. I've tried giving them a chance but it hasn't helped but why am I telling you this? You were there.

Sean: They are nice.

Emma: Oh Really are you referring to the same people I'm talking about.

Sean: No! (He said in a joking kind of way.) Of course I am.

Emma: Look we better go in or they'll know we're talking about them but I'm sure they talk about me all the time.

They headed inside and spotted Sean's friends just wandering around. Jason turned around and smiled and Emma knew he had something to say.

Jason: Did you two love birds kiss and make-up?

Emma: I'm know you really don't care so I won't tell. So what do you people do to have fun besides of making fun of other people?

Alex: Stuff!

Emma: I do that too. Wow we have something in common. That's unheard of. Now do you want to go see a movie?

Alex: How about no?

Emma then spotted a store that had this dress to die for. At least she thought so. So she went inside and didn't bother checking if they followed her. At this point of the day she didn't mind if she lost them. Unfortunately they did follow her but just because Sean did.

Emma: Don't you just love this dress, Alex?

Alex: Oh my like totally no way! (She said while rolling her eyes.)

Jason: This is such a bore! I can't believe you girls find this fun.

Emma: Then you'll never understand women and will be single for the rest of your life but it's not like you weren't going down that rode anyway. (Sean laughed and then Jason looked at him and he stopped.) I'm going to go buy this.

Alex: And why in the world would you do something like that?

Emma: Because it's what you do when you want something!

Alex grabbed the dress and made sure nobody was looking. Then she put the dress in her backpack. It came so easy to her like it happened all the time, which was probably why.

Alex: Oh Emma, Emma, Emma sweetie you have so much to learn.

Emma: You didn't, you can't do that! How could you do that? That is stealing.

Alex: Thanks for the info. But I think I knew that already. Now let's leave this crime scene. I need to go buy my mother a present. Did I say buy? I mean well you know what I mean.

Emma: Sean did you just see what I saw?

Sean: Yeah but it's no big deal.

Emma: How can you say that? We could've been caught and put in jail.

Sean: You're overreacting. That would never happen. We would probably just get a warning. Maybe you should just loosen up?

Emma: I can't believe that you can be so calm about this! I want to go now.

Jason: Listen to him, Emma. For once he is right. This happens all the time and we never once got caught. You wanted to hang out with us so you're going to have to get used to taking risks.

Emma: That's where you are wrong I never once wanted to hang out with you. We won't ever be friends. At least not in this lifetime.

Jason: Then go. We do you a favor and this is how you repay. I could really care less. You might want to know that she isn't the only one who steals. Look besides you.

Emma: Sean is that true?

Sean: Yeah but it was only like once or twice but I had my reasons. Now can we go somewhere else?

Alex: Slow down Sean. Isn't there something else you want to say?

Sean: You wouldn't? I wouldn't!

Alex: Your little Mr. Perfect isn't so perfect after all. Remember your Step dad's laptop disappearing suddenly? It was stolen by. . . (She stopped and looked at Sean and Emma figured out what she was saying.)

Sean: It's not what you think?

Emma: It isn't then tell me you didn't steal it. Look me in the eyes and tell me this isn't so. (He was silent and stared at the floor ashamed.) How low can you get? How did you think you were going to get way with this?

Again he didn't answer and neither did Emma. She just walked away and
didn't turn around to look if Sean ran after her. She didn't want to
be in a relationship with a liar. Again he lied. He said she wouldn't
get hurt but she did and this was even worse. Emma knew who he was
now. The person that she once knew had disappeared. He remained to
look the same but that was just a cover up for who he really was. She
was alone once again. Well that's what she was feeling like right now.
But was she?

What will happen next? Will Sean come to his senses? Read and review and then I'll update. Okay please review. Thanks people. Write on! I know cheesy.
