Emma put on her baby blue hoodie and her star camisole. She decided to go with her skinny jeans and pink Converse. She didn't want it to look like she was trying too hard. For some reason, that dream was getting to her; it was crawling under her skin. She exited Degrassi and walked the block to the public library. Right before going inside, she stopped and stood against the building, stomach aching. It started to get a little bit blurry, she knew from experience it would all vanish if she just stood still for a bit. Emma leaned over, clutching her stomach.
She said, "I'll throw myself away
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around
I can't wash you off my skin
"Do I repulse you that much?" She heard Jay say as he jogged up the steps.
"No, I just, I must have ate something that didn't agree with me"
"Or nothing at all" Jay mumbled.
"What did you say?" Emma asked looking him in the eye with a scowl.
Jay just stormed into the library building after retorting "Nothing, forget it"
Jay sat inside the library: What was with her outside. She needs to take care of herself. Wait, I don't care about her. I care about the Emma from my dreams. Okay, who am I trying to kid. I might have a slight thing for dream Emma Nelson. And its called lust. Sorry folks, Jay Hogart does not do monogamy nor does he do nature freaks.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
Five minutes later the black dots went away and Emma walked into the library casually.
"Hey" she whispered to Jay, setting her bag down on the table he was sitting at.
"Hi" he grumbled back
"Jay, do you want my help or not? Because I was just trying to be nice, but if you really don't want me to, don't waste my time" Emma stated.
Jay breathed out deeply, "Okay Nelson. I need some help"
I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head
Emma smiled, "Let me see the guidelines for the exam: 240 multiple choice on every subject and an essay? This is a pretty heavy duty test. "
"Tell me about it"
"So, to start, which is your worst subject?"
"Probably social studies, all those facts… so unimportant"
"So go through your review book and highlight all the important parts and we can create a review guide from that"
"Okay Nelson Mame" Jay mock saluted to her.
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
with something sweet to throw away
Emma walked over to another table and started to read her book. Rarely, okay all the time, Emma would look at Jay work. He looks kind of cute, the way he's leaning over the book, biting his pencil trying to understand the material, scratching his head at times, shaking his hair, tapping his highlighter…
"I know you're watching me" Jay smirked looking up from his book, interrupting Emma's thoughts.
"Sorry, You just look a little lost" Emma replied quietly.
Jay looked up at her and made eye contact, her brown eyes were so opaque and sincere.
Emma walked over to the table once again and sat down next to Jay, for some reason her heart was racing, it's probably just the hunger pains making me feel weird.
But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live
I want a new mistake, loss is more than hesitate
Do you believe it in your head?
"Well to begin, it isn't necessary to highlight EVERYTHING. Highlighting is used for the important parts"
"But this whole section seems important" Jay whined, "plus, highlighting is fun"
"Yes, but you should only highlight the significant ideas" Emma giggled
"But if it wasn't important than why would I have to study it"
"Jay, you know what I mean. The main topics from the section; here give me it"
Emma tried to grab the highlighter from Jay's hand but he just held on tighter. Getting frustrated, she put her hand over his and made the highlighter move over the key facts. Once Emma realized she was grabbing Jay's hand she pulled away, "Well, you can go from there."
Emma sat down and immersed herself in a book: An Analysis of Dreams.
I must not be reading this right, because it's almost telling me, telling me that I LIKE Jay Hogart. Impossible, I mean he's everything I'm against, slacking off, partying, using girls. Well granted he is not slacking off so much anymore, and his using of girls ended with the gonorrhea Outbreak. Still!
I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
"Whatcha reading?" Jay asked Emma while walking over and leaning above her.
"Nothing!" Emma screamed closing the book
"Chill Em. "An Analysis of Dreams" Hmm, I should check it out, I had a really fucked up dream last night."
"Oh! Let's analyze it, tell me about it"
"No can do sprout, no can do"
"Ugh whatever. I have to go anyway, I'm going to class, something you should try. Can you return this book for me?" Emma asked Jay.
"Yeah, I guess. Thanks for today"
"Your Welcome. See you tomorrow" Emma screamed while running out the door
Seriously, what was with that dream I had last night. I mean its one thing to have a wet dream about some hot chick, but to actually tell her I love her. Wait, I mean, Its one thing to have a wet dream about some chick. Because Nelson is not exactly hot. Well, okay. She is. But still, she's not my type.
According to this book, Emma is going to transform my life by having me love her? Please, It's not like I like Nelson, she's not transforming my life, I was just horny and ate something weird before bed, that must be it. I mean, she's so bitchy, prude, and good. Well, okay I think its pretty cool how she stands up for herself, and its better to be prude than to be infected I guess, and the whole good girl thing can have its advantage, just watch the Brittney spears video with her in the school uniform.
