Hey! This is my first chapter. I hope you all like it! R and R! I do not own these characters.
Mrs. Kwan kept going on and on about some book by some dead guy. Nobody in the class was listening. It was to hot to listen. Emma had her eyes fixed on the window thinking back to those nights and the ravine last year. Jay was her dream guy then. Not because of him but because she felt safe around him. After the shooting she looked to Sean and he left. Jay was just there. It happened so quick. She could hear Chris and his gang of friends making fun of her disease. She had got it treated and she was over it but nobody else would forget about it. Jays bright orange car caught her eye in the parking lot. Jay climbed out and so did Alex. All they did was fight now, and for some reason Emma loved to watch. Of course Emma liked watching everybody as long as she didn't have to pay attention to her life. Her life was made of nothing but sadness ad heartbreak. She wanted out or at least she wanted to focus on something else..
The bell rang. Chester sat up and nudged Emma in her arm. "So, Emmalee. Ya wanna hang tonight? I figured we could have another game slash movie night. You in?" Chester smiled. Emma liked having a guy friend around that she could confide in and really talk to without having to worry about falling in love or anything like that. "Sure that sounds great! Can you give me a ride?" Emma would have driven herself but her mom had totally ran into the car pulling in the drive way because she was focused on baby Jack. Her car wouldn't be ready for three more days. Bummer. "Sure Emmalee meet me at my car after next period." Chester said and then kind of ruffled Emma's hair as he always did.
Emma was happy to go to MI class. Her friends were there and it was a fun class. She sat in her usual seat with Manny, JT, Liberty, and Toby at the table by the door. Behind their table sat Ashley, Craig, Ellie, and Marco. And the table over sat Jay and his posse, who surprisingly showed up today. Emma always listened to everyone's conversations around her, she loved it. Emma listened for about 10 minutes until her dad Mr. Simpson walked in to teach. She was so happy to see him teaching again. So was he. Things were almost back to normal. Almost.
About 30 minutes into class a knock came to the door. Emma couldn't believe her eyes. Sean was standing there. Sean. Her Sean. Well technically Ellie's Sean. But Emma knew Ellie had moved on with a guy named Eddie. But by the look on Ellie's face, they were over as soon as Sean came through that door. Mr. Simpson told the class that Sean was back to join us again. He then told Sean to have a seat. The only empty just happened to be next to Emma's. Fantabulous. "Hey Emma." Sean said in his normal tone. Emma jumped up and hugged him. He was after all a great ex-boyfriend and great friend. They had exchanged letters ever since he left. They sat down. "You didn't tell me you were coming back!" Emma said surprised. "I figured it would be a nice surprise. Its great to see you Em." Sean said smiling. "Nice to see you to Sean." Emma replied.
Emma couldn't help but notice the tension in the room. Emma's friends were happy to see him. But everyone else, just looked lost. Emma glanced at Ellie. Ellie was fixated on Sean. She looked as if she were going to cry but held back tears. Emma saw Jay and his gang walking over to greet Sean. Oh no. Emma had never told Sean about the ravine and she did not want to face a jerk like Jay. Jay was there though and Emma knew she had to get this over with. "Sean, nice to see ya back. Are you a changed person to good for an old friend now or what man?" Jay said in his smart ass tone with his eyebrows raised. "I'm never to good for an old friend. Pick me up at 7 and we can hang." Sean said with a nod then turned to Emma. "You to Emma, you coming?"
Emma glanced at Jay. Jay just stared he knew Sean wouldn't have known about last year. Alex chimed in, "Your seriously inviting green peace? Freak." Sean shot an evil look at Alex, " SHUT IT ALEX!" Sean yelled. Jay smiled, "Glad to have ya back man." Alex was not happy about that comment. Jay turned to Emma, "You coming or not Greenpeace." Emma replied aggregated, "Not if you keep calling me greenpeace." Jay looked her in the eye and got about an inch to her face, "Deal Nelson." For some reason in that instant Emma wanted to jump Jay. Not the kinda jump where you'd kill a person. She wanted to jump on him and well ya get the picture. "Seven it is then I'll be at Sean's. The bell rang. Emma walked out the door and Manny followed quickly. "Whoa talk about tension. So do you like Jay or what?" Manny nosed around. "MANNY! You've got to be kidding! Jay Hogart? Are you nuts? That fag! Ugg Manny that's gross." Emma yelled, not sure if she meant it. Manny was taken back by Emma's reaction. "Sorry Em. Didn't mean anything by it. Friday night your place we can have a total girls night. Love."
