Hey people… sorry for the couple day wait. I've been in a few little problems but I still did the chapter!

Kai: Can you get on with the story? You're boring the people with your little story of your delay.

Sk: Okay…but I didn't 'delay' on purpose.

Kai: Yes you did.

Emily: Shut up.

Kai: Make me.

Emily: I'll tell these good people your secret.

Kai: HOW DID YOU KNOW I TOOK A PART TIME JOB AS CHUCK E. CHEESE!?

Sk & Emily: …O.O…

Kai: Uhh…disclaimer on first chapter. Excuse me. *leaves fic conversation*

Sk & Emily: …

Chapter 7


~Emily's POV~

 
'Mariah, what do you do with your twisted life?' I asked her in my mind. I had seen her in the arms of Ray, kissing like I wasn't even heard coming inside. They were on the couch with Ray holding Mariah on his lap. I heard small growls and purrs coming from them, disturbing.

 "Hey guys." I said smirking.

They broke apart instantly and both started to flush into different shades of red. I laughed to myself, but tried to keep them comfortable.

 "I'll be in my room. Continue if you'd like." I finished. I walked towards my room but stopped as I heard apologies coming from Mariah.

 "I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting her to be back so soon. I'll see you later." Mariah said sheepishly.

 "It's alright. Bye." Ray said as he lightly kissed her on the forehead. He opened the front door and walked out.

I walked to my room while still smirking. Mariah soon followed and was oddly quiet. Yeah, she was that embarrassed.

 "So…how long was that? Hmmm?" I grinned. I put my bag on a hook of a coat rack.

 "I thought you walked here. How did you get here so fast?" she asked curiously.

 "Kai's driver dropped me off. And how did Ray get here?"

 "Uhh…oh fine…I invited him in. I thought we could have some alone time since you were gone."

 "In my house? I gave you a spare house key here if you were coming over for a reason."

 "I did! To ask about you at Kai's place!"

 "Did Ray have to be here too?"

 "He saw me from the window."

 "I told you to shut the blinds when you're the only one here."

 "I didn't notice."

 "Never mind. It was the third time this month. I've gotten use to it."

 "Was not!!"

 "You brought him over a couple of weeks ago and I found you to making out in my room!"

 "Oh…that…okay…you win. I won't do that again."

 "Good."

 "So? How was it at Kai's?"

 "A cross between hell and heaven."

 "Uhh…the heaven part"

  "Well…I got to watch him do his work with him actually knowing. He seems so cold and distant at school. But away from people, he opens up a bit. I had to do this problem with candy. He understood the problem, and I congratulated him. The best part was when I said he could have the candy. He accepted! He look soooo cute nibbling on the thing."

 "That does sound like heaven. Too bad Ray's smart, or I would've tutored him myself. Ya know…being his girlfriend and all."

I heard her say 'girlfriend' again. It made me feel left out again. I tilted my head down and looked at the floor. Most girls at school had a boyfriend, and those who didn't had the courage to tell the guys how they felt about them. But not me. I was just…different.

 "Oh no…I mentioned it again. I'm soooo sorry! Are you okay? SAY SOMETHING!!" Mariah blasted.

 "I'm fine. I'm fine! Really! Just a bit tired…that's all."

 "Okay. Get some sleep. I'll see you on Monday. Bye."

Mariah hugged me lightly and I hugged back. It was so nice of her that she cared so much about me. I escorted her to the door and waved 'bye' as she ran off to her house. I closed the door and leaned against it.

 '…being his girlfriend and all.' I remembered her say as I laid my body out on my bed. Light shined through my window and glistened on my glasses. I closed my eyes to prevent them from being blinded. I knew well too much that in my future I would be single while seeing all my friends happily living with their spouses, enjoying the time they had with each other. I wished I could start a life like that early.

Suddenly I sat up and thought of an idea that might just work.

Meanwhile at Kai's place…his POV…

Why? Why did I feel so inferior around her? It doesn't make sense. I couldn't have felt so…so…scared. How could I? Sure she helped me with my school work…but I thought that would've been it. Her name…Emily…Emily…Mizu…Mizuhara. Emily Mizuhara was her name. I remembered it from school, but I don't remember seeing her around before. She said she had…changed. Changed how I wonder? She seemed so…cute in her outfit today.

Did I just call a girl cute!? Oh great. I'm getting corney on myself. How low can I get? But I have to admit, she looked very…mature in that outfit she was wearing. Unlike the other girls, what she wore wasn't tight, nor an 'I-want-you-to-f*ck-me' thing. It was just clothing a girl who wanted to get on with her life easily would wear. Emily…she just look…stunning…today. That's it…I…have…gone…INSANE. Was it me…or was I talking about her for about a paragraph?? Man…this thing in my mind tells me to be somewhat…turned on by her…and the other tells me to push the feeling away. I've never been insecure about myself. Why does it have to be now?

I guess I can give some things a try…everyone else wants me to. Then they wouldn't give me such nicknames…the cold-hearted bastard…or Mr. Sourpuss. (A/N: LMAO. XD) People like Ray have said to try and smile a little more…but then those damn girls at school would faint at my sight…they always have if I do something out-of-the-ordinary. But wait…they wouldn't get love-sick over me if I…had a girlfriend.

Just then…I got a crazy idea that would get all the girls to get the hell away from me. It should be flawless…
