I feel unloved! no one reviewed chapter three. At first I figured no one liked it. But then I decided, I'll post the chapters anyway, besides, I"m almost done typing up all the chapters.

but let me tell you, I"m more compelled to post chapters when I know people like the story. go ahead, I even take flames (then I'll post chapters just to spite you mwahaha!) life is good when you've had Starbucks.

Chapter four

Emily's POV

I was ready to kill Melly when I got into the room. She had invited Ryan to go with us shopping.

I'm so not over him. I think about him all the time. His cute blonde hair, the hats, his super prim style. The way his smile lights up a room.

I'm so pathetic! I walked into our room only to find Melly smiling.

" That was so cute!" she shrieked, hugging me.

" What?" I asked, confused.

" Emmers, he so totally likes you!"

" You really think so?"

" I know so." Melly insisted.

" What makes you think that?"

" He kept sneaking glances at you!" Melly squealed, jumping around.

" Ugh, we need sleep." I said, looking at the clock. Getting ready for bed took longer than one might think, especially for Melody James.

First we had to change. I had a tank top and shorts; she had a ruffle-sleeved top and shorts. For the record, Melly dragged me into the following routine. We had to rub lotion all over our legs, feet, hands and arms, so they'd be nice and soft in the morning. Melly's was glitter, of course. Then, hair was brushed, and then I got to go to sleep. Melly, however, had to apply a facemask, wait for it to harden, and then rub lip-softening balm to her lips. The poor girl got very little sleep. The mornings were always worse.

Especially when you sleep in…

" Emily! Melody! Wake up!" someone shouted, pounding on our door. I shrieked as I fell out of bed. I stumbled to the door in my pajamas and opened it, quickly shutting my eyes to keep from being blinded by the early morning sun.

" Heather, what do you want?" I asked.

" You two need to get ready!"

" What time is it?"

" Almost nine." That woke me up. I ran over to the bed, tripping over my fallen sheets.

" Melly, wake your lazy butt up!"

" What?" she asked groggily.

" You have ten minutes to get ready." I said. She shrieked and ran to the bathroom. As she took her shower I dug for clothes. As soon as I found them Melly came running out of the bathroom, the mask washed off. I ran in and quickly showered and changed. I grabbed my brush and a rubber band, slipped on my shoes, and ran out, backpack in hand. Melly was right behind me.

" You grabbed a key right?" she asked me.

" Umm… yeah." I said, even though I wasn't sure. No need for Melly to freak out. We ran to the bus and got on, everyone was waiting for us.

" Miss Wilds, Miss James, you need to be more responsible." Darbus lectured.

" Emmers was supposed to call in the wake up call!" Melly cried.

" What? I thought you were!" I cried back. Melly rolled her eyes and sat down. She pulled her make up products out of her bag and started applying. I sat down and brushed my hair. Then pulled it back. After I finished all that I popped a piece of my beloved gum in my mouth.

" Hey Emily." The person next to me said. I recognize that voice, I had nightmares about it for two weeks, and then they settled into dreams…

" Hi Ryan." I said smiling. Yeah, for the record, in the nightmares he was kissing whatsername again, and again, and again.

" So… how've you been?" he asked.

" Great, umm… school's cool I guess. I'm on the soccer team we're one of the best in the state. You?"

" Good, I've starred in a few plays with Sharpay. Doing okay in school."

" Any… girlfriends?" I asked as casually as I could.

" Umm… no… you?"

" Nope, no girlfriends."

" You know what I mean." Ryan said.

" No… no boyfriends… I do go to an all girls school." I reminded him.

" Oh yeah… Emily, I… I'm really sorry. I just saw… and I assumed… and I was so mad…" Ryan stammered. I took a deep breath.

" I… I know." I said. " What Sharpay and Dylan did, was just wrong, sick and twisted. I shouldn't have taken it out on you." I admitted. I hate admitting I'm wrong.

" I-I never stopped Lo-thinking about you." I gave him a confused look; thinking was not what he planned on saying.

Ryan's POV

I cant' believe I almost said Loving. I can't admit to loving her! Not yet! I ignored her look.

" Me either." She said.

" You never stopped thinking of you?" I asked, trying to irk her.

" Ryan." She said. I smiled, she smiled, then looked around, before leaning over the seat and kissing me. I was definitely surprised. Then I looked around, then kissed her. Finally we broke apart, no need to be decapitated by Darbus or Paxton.

" So… what are you doing tonight?" I asked. Emily laughed and rolled her eyes.

We were going out. Out on our first date in two years! I wanted to look nice, not that I don't always. I buttoned the cuff of my blue shirt and re adjusted my blue hat. Then I hurried out. We were allowed to go to Pier 39 as much as we wanted, as long as we didn't go with out a 'buddy' and we had to tell one of the adults.

I met Emily in the lobby. I saw her before she saw me, but when I saw her, I had to stop. She looked… wow. She was wearing hip hugger jeans and a green and pale pink corset top. She looked a little uncomfortable. That's what happens when you get used to shorts and flip-flops. I walked over to her.

" Emily… wow." I said, unable to come up with a proper adjective (A.N I think that's right). She smiled.

" Thanks." She said. " You look great." She added.

" Shall we go?" I asked.

" We shall."

First we stopped by our new favorite place, Blue chip cookie, to grab a cookie to share. Then we went to a great little shell sore. Everything they sold had to do with shells. Little shell figurines, necklaces, and painted shells. Emily bought some things for her nieces and I bought a figurine for my mom.

Then she forced me into a store called Fairy World.

" Despite popular belief I'm not gay!" I informed her (A/N not in this fic anyway)

" Oh, stop being a baby." She said, dragging me in. In truth, it wasn't that bad, except when the lady attacked me with Fairy dust. Which was just very fine glitter. Emily bought her Sister a picture of an Amy Brown fairy, and another for her mom. She looked at a necklace that had a little vial of 'Fairy dust' in a small metal vine holder with a tiny metal fairy on it. Then she went to pay for her pictures. As soon as she was out of range, I grabbed a bluish turquoise dusted one and paid for it.

" It's two for the price of one." The lady said. So I bought a pink one for Sharpay. Emily was in a very expensive chocolate store.

" I'll have to come back later to buy something for David." She said. " Oh, and have daddy send more money, this trip is going to leave me broke." I smiled.

" Well, I have a surprise for you." I said, pulling out the necklace.

" Oh my god! Ryan! I love it!" she said.

" Turn around." I said, and connected the necklace behind her neck. She turned and hugged me, then kissed me.

Somewhere behind us I heard an old woman say,

" Ahh, young love." If only she knew
