Chapter three Emily's POVDetention with Darbus, is not a detention, it's drama club. Forced drama club.
" Miss Wilds, you can start by painting that cardboard Ferris wheel with Mr. Evans and Miss Prescott." Jenny Prescott, the girl I beat in the tryouts. She glared at me as I grabbed a paintbrush. Ryan was there. He had a paintbrush as well.
We stayed silent as we painted, but after a while Ryan started humming. I recognized the tune, so I hummed along. Eventually, we started singing. I didn't realize it, if I had, I wouldn't have started. I'm not the greatest singer. I think I suck. We were singing 'As long as you're mine' from Wicked. Then we realized it, I could feel the heat in my face, and I knew I was bright red. It comes with the hair. Ryan just laughed.
" Okay, those of you in detention may go." Darbus announced. I jumped up, grabbed my backpack and hurried off.
" Emily! Wait up!" Ryan was behind me. I stopped and turned around.
" You have a great voice." I said, hoping I wasn't red anymore.
" So do you."
" Ryan, you don't have to lie." He laughed.
" Okay fine, you have a good voice." He said. I gave him a skeptical look. " no, I'm serious. Didn't you see how hard Jenny was glaring at you?"
" Yeah, I thought that was about the soccer thing." I said.
" No, well yeah, that too, but she hates the fact that we were singing together."
" Why?"
" She likes me." Ryan said. " Everyone knows." I wrinkled my nose.
" Ew." Jenny had long blonde hair, but it was messy and ratted.
" Yeah." Ryan said.
" So, you in the musical?" I asked.
" Call back list is up tomorrow. If I'm on it, call backs are next week."
" Jeez. We find out if we made the team tomorrow and that's it." I said. That much work to get people for a play? Weird.
" Well, Darbus wants people who are good." Ryan said.
" Gee thanks." I said, giving him a weird look.
" Oh, I didn't mean it like that!" Ryan said.
" Oh, okay then." I said. " Anyway, I have to get home. My other brother and sister are coming by to see the new house."
" Other brother and sister?" Ryan asked.
" Yep, Cindy and David."
" Your mom's not into original names is she?" I laughed.
" No, not like your mom, right Ryan?"
" Yeah well, Sharpay's different."
" Yeah, she is." I said, not realizing it.
" You're one to talk bubble gum girl." I blew a bubble. He popped it. I sucked it all back in my mouth and spit it on the ground and smiled. He smiled back. His mouth came closer and closer to mine and they were about to touch when we heard a car horn. I jumped three feet in the air.
" Emmy! Mom asked me to pick you up!" it was Cindy. I could hear my nieces in the back seat.
" Hey Ryan, need a ride home?" I asked.
" No, that's okay, I can walk." Ryan said.
" It's no problem, Cindy's used to being my chauffeur." I said. It's true; mom would make Cindy drive me when I wanted to go somewhere.
" Fine." I smiled and led him to the car.
" Cindy, you are the best big sister on earth." I said, smiling my sweetest smile.
" What do you want?" she asked.
" Can you take Ryan home?" I asked her. She sighed.
" Fine, where do you live?" she asked. Ryan gave her the address. Then we climbed into the back seat. Cindy's daughters, Gail and Stacy were fighting.
" Hey, stop it!" Cindy shouted.
" Gail, Stacy, I'll sick Henry on you." I threatened. Ryan gave me an odd look. " Henry is my giant dog." It's true, he was huge. A st. Bernard. He weighs more than I do. Ryan rolled his eyes and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed a number and held the phone to his ear. Then he sighed, hung up and tried again.
" Crap." He said. " Nobody's home at my house." I shrugged.
" Then you can wait at our house." I said. Cindy smiled.
" Good, save me a trip." She said. Then she turned up the radio.
When we got home Gail and Stacy climbed over us and ran inside, Gail pulling on her big sister's hair. Cindy got out and finally I got tired of waiting so I climbed over Ryan.
" Are you coming out?" I asked. He nodded, looking at the house and got out of the car. I laughed and led him in.
Ryan POV
Their house was decent. It wasn't as big as mine, but it was fair sized. The colors scared me a little. It was blue with red trim. The inside was nice. The front door led into a little almost hallway type thing. On the right was a closet; on the left was a living room, connected to a dining room. Ahead of us was a kitchen, also connected to the dining room. There was a set of stairs going up and a set going down. We went into the kitchen, I could smell something delicious. A woman with a messy red bun stood at the stove, stirring a large pot.
" Hi mom." Emily said, kissing the woman on the cheek.
" Hey Emmy… who's he?" she asked, pointing at me.
" Ryan Evans." I said, trying to be polite. I was just trying not to drool over the smell of the food.
" I'm Marsha Wilds." She said, holding out her hand. I shook it. "Are you staying for dinner?" she asked.
" Yep." Emily said.
" Okay…" I said. The food really did smell good.
" Come one." Emily said, leading me down the stairs.
" What are you doing here?" Dylan asked, looking up from his seat on the couch.
" Dylan Wilds! You be nice to this sweet boy!" Miss Wilds called from the top of the stairs. Then there was a pounding and a shriek as a boy with bright red hair came down and swung Emily around.
" Hey baby sister." He said.
" Hi David!" she said. " This is my friend Ryan." She said, jumping over the back of the couch and onto the seat, nearly kicking Dylan in the process.
" Emily Ann, you jump that couch again I'll use you as the main ingredient in the next stew I make." Emily turned around and rolled her eyes.
" Sit anywhere." She said. I sat next to her on the couch.
" Your mom's nice."
" Yeah, she likes to make a good impression." Emily said.
" Don't get used to it, she's nice to everyone in the beginning." Dylan said.
" Wow, harsh, little brother." David said.
" Really harsh!" Gail said from her seat on the floor. The television was on a cartoon, I'm not sure which one it was it had been a while since I'd watched them, something with a ghost boy trying to save his town from ghosts… maybe it was a modern Casper. I don't know.
" It's Danny Phantom." Stacy said, when I'd asked what it was. They all looked at me like I was insane for not knowing whom the cartoon ghost was.
" You don't watch it!" Emily cried. " Ryan, how deprived you are." She said laughing.
Finally it was time to eat. Miss Wilds brought down some stew for everyone. It was delicious. It had beef, and vegetables, and it was so warm. We had all finished and I had offered to help clean up the mess when my phone rang.
" Pardon me." I said, leaving the room to answer it. " Hello?"
"' Where are you?" it was my mom.
" I'm at the Wilds' house. Her sister offered me a ride, and nobody was answering so they brought me here."
" Well we already ate, so don't expect me to ask cook to make you something just because you're late."
" I ate too." I said.
" What?" mom asked, probably expecting something like road kill pizza.
" Stew. It was really good."
" Oh really? Well, where do they live I'll pick you up." I gave her the address. " I'll be there in a minute, be outside waiting for me." Then she hung up. I sighed, and then walked back in.
" My mother's coming to pick me up, I have to wait outside." I said. " Thank you for letting me stay, and for feeding me, it was really great."
" We can't have you outside all by your self… Emmy, go with him." Miss Wilds said.
" Okay." Emily said, standing on the couch and hopping over the back.
" Emily Ann!" Emily laughed and started up the stairs.
" Good bye everyone. Cindy, David, Dylan, Gail, Stacy, and Miss Wilds."
" Ryan, I insist you call me Marsha." Marsha said.
" Okay." I said and ran up the stairs after Emily.
Emily's POV
I was sad that Ryan had to leave, we were having a great time, but I guess it had to end sometime. We went outside, it was just getting dark. I slipped off my flip-flops and did a cartwheel. Ryan laughed, took off his hat and did the same.
" Oh yeah?" I asked, doing a one-hand cartwheel.
" Is that a challenge?" Ryan asked, doing the one handed cartwheel.
" Maybe." I answered, doing an Ariel.
" Umm… okay." He said, then did the trick. " I'll start." He did a back flip. I'm not good at those. It was like the soccer move, I just can't land on my feet. I tried it, and fell on my butt. He laughed and helped me up.
" That's not funny." I insisted. He laughed some more and I stuck my tongue out. He just rolled his eyes. Then the look in his eyes changed as he leaned forward and kissed me. I was surprised. I never had a boyfriend before; I didn't know what was going on. He pulled away blushing.
" I-I'm sorry." He said. I smiled, and kissed him. Just after we pulled away we heard a car honk. There was an obnoxious pink car, in my driveway, just looking at it made me dizzy. " That's my mom." Ryan said.
" Bye." I said.
" See you later." Ryan called, getting in the car.
