Emily entered Sandy Bobs. He long brown hair was now tied up in a high ponytail. She smiled at the hostess and walked over to the Table where Bradin, Callie and Lucas were sitting at.
"Hey Babe," she said and kissed Lucas on the cheek and slid next to him. He put his arm over her shoulder.
"So I haven't seen you around, Emily, Do you go to Playa Linda High?" Callie asked. She was being her normal nice self, trying to be polite.
"No, though I wish I did, I'm a sophomore at St. Sebastian's" She replied. She rolled her eyes at the name of her school.
"Where's that?" Bradin asked
"About a mile south of your school, we're right on the beach, that's the only good thing about it"
"Really? I've never heard of it." He responded
Emily laughs, "You play on a public school team and you haven't heard of St. Seb's? All the public school do is make fun of us, they call us the stuck-up rich kids, even though we beat them at EVERY sport, right Luke? She laughs again
"Keep thinkin that Em, we're gunna kill you guys when we meet again" Lucas laughed and playfully punched her arm. She laughed and hit him back.
The waitress came over and they ordered their food. Emily smiled and put her head on Lucas' shoulder as pulled her closer to him. Callie looked at them and then at Bradin. She noticed he was starting at them, especially Emily.
"So what do you do at St. Seb's?" She asked trying to gain Bradin's attention. It must have worked because he quickly put him arm around her waist.
"I'm on the Varsity Dance Team in school, we dance at the Football and Basketball games, and at all the Surfing Team's pep rallys."
"You're a sophomore and you made Varsity?" Callie asked, "Aren't they the #1 Dance Team in the state?"
"Yea, we're ok. It kinda helps that our coach used to be dance for Pink." She laughed.
"That's awesome!" Bradin exclaimed. Emily smiled
"Yea, she's amazing" Lucas added
"Not really, but thanks hun." She laughed. "I'm also the President of the Playa Linda Theatre. That takes up most of my time"
"You are?" Lucas asked. He had a confused look on his face. Bradin laughed
"Yea, where have you been? Do you even remember why I was away all June and July this summer?" She questioned. Noticing the confused look on Bradin and Callie's face, she explained, "I spent 2 months in New York City at the New York Performing Arts Academy."
"That's really cool." Bradin added, he looked deep into Emily's bright blue eyes. They reminded him of his mother's. He quickly turned away
"I guess it was ok, I missed soo much this summer though, I came back and so much had changed, Luckily there was one person I could count on to be here" She looked at Lucas and shot him a sexy smile. He kissed her, it was quick, but meaningful.
The rest of dinner was pretty boring, mostly talking about school and sports. Suddenly Emily's phone goes off.
"Hello? … Hey Missy … what's wrong … WHAT? Oh My God, I'm coming, don't move a muscle! I'll be there in like 2 minutes … No, I don't care, I'm on my way ... Bye Missy" She hangs up her phone. "Sorry to eat and run, but I have to go get my friend Missy, apparently our team party got outta hand."
"You skipped a team party to come out with me" Lucas asked
"Yea, and I'm gunna have to go through hell to pay for it." She kissed him "but that makes it worth it. It was nice meeting you two. I hope we can hang out again soon."
"Definitely" Bradin answered. Callie cast him a glare.
"Cool, Bye babe, I'll call you about later" she said as she looked at her watch. She grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
"You're an ass, Bradin" Callie said.
"What? Where did that come from?" he responded, a little hurt
"Never mind I'll tell you later. Emily seems really nice Lucas, I hope she makes you happy" She smiled as she watched a smile rise across Lucas's face.
"She does, I mean it's taken a while to get to this, she's not exactly perfect to say the least, but I like her. She's been the cause of many sleepless nights though"
"What do you mean?" Callie asked. She looked confused "she looks like she adores you"
"Yea, well she has a history of cheating and lets just leave it at this, if she sees someone she wants, she goes after them, it doesn't matter if he or she is in a relationship. It took 2 months to get her outta that habit."
"Ouch" Bradin replied "who would have known? She doesn't look like the cheating type"
"I know. The only reason I found out was because she felt bad and told me. She's so sneaky, I didn't even suspect it. It took a while to deal with that and I called her a lot of things I wish I hadn't. It was right before she went to New York, so I fooled around while she was gone, and that made it worse/"
"How?" Callie asked, "She was away" She seemed really interested in Emily's flaws.
"I almost got away with it, it was about a week before she came back and I was at the beach with a girl and she called. I was doing something so the girl answered the phone and Em flipped out. She told the girl that she was my girlfriend, even though we had broken up before she left and that I was just using her to get over her. It was ugly when I got back, no one has ever hit as hard as Kelly hit me that night. Anyway, she came back, bitched at me and then we made up. It was quite a soap opera." He rolled his eyes. "That was almost 3 months ago. Its been quite a ride since then"
"interesting, sounds like fun" Bradin replied, "O man it's 10:00, my aunts gunna want a phone call. You ready to go Callie?"
"Yea, lets go, See ya Lucas" She said and she and Bradin walked out of the restaurant and headed toward the beach.
