Wally stared at her, his face bright red. He then shook his head and blinked. He wanted to go towards and follow her, but his feet were frozen to the ground, not knowing what to do.
Emily just kept walking, her head down the whole time. All of her feelings were eating her alive, and she didn't know what to do. Calmly she sat on the grass, in hopes that someone could give her an answer.
The brown haired girl ran over with a squee. "Hehe! That was really cute Emily!" she stared at her with sparkly eyes and blushed.
Hoagie smiled at them, but then noticed that she was sad and then looked to Wally, who was confused.
She started picking the grass on the ground blade by blade, refusing to look up or speak to anyone. She gave a little nod and went back to picking the grass blades carefully.
Jenna moved away slowly and stared at her sadly. "Emily.." she said her friends name quietly and went over to Hoagie.
Wally was slowly starting to walk over to where Emily was. Hoagie grabbed Jenna's hand and pulled her away, wanting them to have more time alone.
Emily turned around and noticed Wally coming, but then quickly turned back around to stare at the sky. All her emotions were really flooding her and she didn't know what to do except cry. So that's exactly what she did. She stared up and cried the most she had ever cried in her life.
Wally stopped in his tracks, seeing her cry. He frowned and looked away, not being able to take this, wondering why she treated him this way when he just wanted to like her back.
Emily heard his footsteps cease. Still not turning around she managed to quietly whisper, "W-wally?"
"Shut up!" he yelled, hearing her whisper his name, he couldn't take this pain any longer. "Why.. why do you think that I hate you?"
She abruptly stopped crying and wiped her tears away, her back still turned for him. "Well, for one thing you just told me to shut up..." she said, realizing that was a bad thing to say. "And, well, I...I don't think you hate me, it's just, I thought you liked...Kuki..." She looked down and picked more grass.
"Shut up!" he growled, looking down, his eyes in shadow and he looked down. "S...shut up.." His tears slowly hit the ground.
Emily turned around and glared up at Wally. "Will you just PLEASE stop telling me to shut up?" she said sternly though stiffling tears. "I just wanted to know if you liked me...that's ALL! OKAY?" She turned around and watched Hoagie with Jenna, then frowned slightly for yelling at Wally.
His tears slowly still fell to the ground. He looked away and walked off.
Emily jumped off the ground quickly and grabbed Wally's hand. "I'm...really sorry Wally...please forgive me..." she said upset before she dropped his hand and walked over to Hoagie and Jenna.
Wally growled and walked off. "You just don't get it, do you?" he asked as he walked off the other way, going into the school building, not wanting to be outside any longer.
Emily ran up towards Hoagie and gave him a huge hug while she sobbed. "I give up!" she screamed pretty loudly so Hoagie jumped back still holding her. "I don't know what I did to make him so mad at me..."
Hoagie frowned and looked down at her, wrapping his arms around her slowly."I am sorry, Emily."
Emily cried silently into his shoulder. "What do I do now, Numbuh 2?"
"...I.. I don't know.." he said sadly.
She looked up at Hoagie and stared him in the eyes. "Maybe...maybe..I just shouldn't like him, since he doesn't like me. Maybe I should like someone who cares for me more..." she said blankly as she stared back to the ground still hugging Hoagie.
"Maybe.. you just need to give him some time." he said holding her closely.
"But how much time is enough? I'm sick of...time..." she questioned through tears. She turned around and saw Wally pacing back and forth by the window, but she couldn't bare to watch him.
"...enough time.. is how much you give Wally.. how much he needs is enough.." he said with a smile. "He is a fragile boy, he may not seem it.."
She giggled slightly. "Wally, fragile? Wow...the apocolypse has come," she said trying to cheer herself up. "But, do you think he really likes me? Really?" She looked up at Hoagie as she asked this.
"He did say that he did, and he did kiss you.. didn't he?" he asked, staring at her sadly.
"Well..yah..." she looked away as she said. "But, I can't help but feel he was forced to. After all, I kissed you without liking you...er...sorta...didn't I?"
Hoagie smiled at her and pulled her closer. "Heh.. I guess...so."
"After all...I mean...I like Wally...and..not you...right?" she blushed and turned away. "What am I saying? Of COURSE I like Wally!" she nervously giggled. 'But am I starting to like Hoagie?', she thought to herself.
Hoagie sighed and looked around. "You know what.. I don't really know... but um...heh.." sweat began to drop as he rubbed the back of his head.
Emily looked up at him curiously with her eyes sparkling. "What's wrong Numbuh 2?" she asked as she looked around to see if something had bothered him.
He stared at her confusedly then sighed, looking away. "Nothing.. nothing at all.."
She raised an eyebrow. "I get the feeling this has happened to me before...oh right...it has" she said sounding utterly annoyed. "Now Hoagie, we've been friends since...well...a LONG time...just tell me what you're thinking, I'm here to help everyone," she sighed and turned around still worried about Wally.
"It's nothing.. really," he said again, looking towards the school, seeing the blonde haired boy walk out of the school building again.
Emily shook her head and sighed. "Whatever, noone tells me ANYTHING anymore," she mumbled. She then turned her head around and let go of Hoagie's hug as she saw Wally walk outside.
Hoagie frowned and looked toward the hyper active Jenna. He sighed once more and looked to Wally.
Wally walked past them without a word.
Emily didn't know what to do any more, her feelings had constantly changed and been shattered throughout the day. She just watched Wally as he walked past, then looked up at Hoagie with hurt eyes.
Hoagie frowned at her and held her close. "I am sorry about him, Emily.." he said with a small smile, to help her cheer up. He rubbed her back gently to comfort her.
She began to slightly cheer up, but then looked at Wally again. "Gah! I donno...I just wanna go up and kiss him...but at the same time I wanna kiss yo...I mean er...nevermind," Emily stuttered and looked away.
He smiled and rubbed her head gently, then looked around the school yard. He then looked to Jenna, who was talking to Numbuh 4. His eyes widened.
Emily turned to see what Hoagie had been staring at. She dropped her arms along with her jaw. "Oh...HECK no..." she said as she started to cry.
"...she.. is probably just talking with him, because.. they are friends.. remember that," he said, trying to get her mind off of what she might have been thinking they were doing before.
She collapsed into Hoagie's arms sobbing. "I don't care if they're just friends! He hates me and now she's probably flirting with him!" she cried loudly.
"She would never do that!" he said, holding her close. "She just became friends with you, she wouldn't do that."
"Well, I'd hope not," she sniffled. "My emotions are just so mixed up..." she began to say as she looked at Wally. "I mean I love Wally and I love you and now Jenna is here and Wally hates me and..." she kept listing all her heart was feeling.
"Jenna likes you, she wouldn't do that to you.." He said with a smile, petting her head gently. "Don't worry about it, really.."
Emily looked up and smiled. "Yah, I'm honestly getting the feeling she wouldn't." She shook her head really quickly..."oh my god, did you hear what I said before that? I cant believe I said that!" she squealed as her cheeks began to turn red.
He smiled. "Its alright, Emily... don't worry about it.. you just wanted to let your feelings out, am I right?"
Emily looked up and blushed. "Yah...sure...f-feelings..." she stuttered. "B-but...the one feeling I...I said...I lo-loved...nevermind.." she turned away.
He sighed. He then looked to Jenna, who was now dragging Numbuh 4 over to them. "Now see, she is just trying to help you.. you see that, Emily?"
Emily looked over and sighed, "Yah...I see that. But he doesn't look very pleased to be coming over here!" She watched Wally desperately trying to pull out of Jenna's grip.
"Come on, Wallabee!" Jenna continued to drag him, trying to get him to go to her. "Come on!"
"Why should I?" He asked, trying to squirm from her. "She doesn't even care, anyways!" "That's not true!" Jenna yelled at him.
Numbuh 7 watched as they were getting closer. "What am I supposed to say Hoagie? Huh?" she questioned him realizing they were still hugging..and she actually liked it.
"I .. am not sure." He slowly let go of her now, seeing Wally coming closer, not wanting to cause a fight. "Just.. tell him your feelings maybe?"
"Come on, silly Wallabee!" She dragged him closer, then got behind him and shoved him into Emily.
