The Strangeness Of Emily

Chapter 18: Circus

One day Emily and one of her best friends, Genevieve, went to the circus. Strangely enough, they spotted Dan and Eric there also. They came up to them and Dan said, "Sans are cool," which made no sense to the girls, so they both started kicking Eric. Emily obviously really liked Eric, as they were together. Still, she wondered what the chances of seeing him and Dan here were. Well, the circus went on and on intermission Dan and Eric invited Genevieve and Emily to sit with them. The girls obviously agreed to do so. Genevieve took Dan with her to get some concessions, which Emily was suspicious about. Emily was alone with Eric for a bit. Eric started fiddling around nervously, so Emily asked him, "What is your favourite flower?" He responded with what he thought she wanted to hear, Verbena. This didn't really affect Emily, so she casually asked some questions about the circus and the performers. Eric started to say something that sounded important when Dan rushed back, interrupting the two. He was without Genevieve, looking very upset.

"I was in line for food when Genevieve spotted Aaron with his kid sister Callie. She went over to talk to him, and when I looked for her again after getting the food she was going off with him! That makes me so mad... I really liked her..." he rambled on incoherently about Genevieve. While he was doing so, Emily wondered why he liked Genevieve a) when she had a boyfriend, Ali, and b) when he had a girlfriend, Ashley. Then she determined that since Genevieve had left her to go off with Aaron, she was stuck with Dan and Eric. Without realizing it, Emily rested her head on Eric's shoulder. Eric was startled at first, yelling, "Why did you do that!?" But then he calmed down, his attitude totally changing. He quickly hugged Emily, and Dan, being already upset, started freaking out. He thought Eric had gone insane due to his sudden change in attitude, and so did Emily at first, but she hugged him back. Dan could simply not stand the madness anymore and left. Emily later found out that he stopped liking Genevieve and focused solely on his girlfriend Ashley. She also found out that Genevieve now had three boyfriends, Ali, who she had been with already, and two new boyfriends, Aaron and Greg. None of her boyfriends knew that she had boyfriends other than them. After all the happiness, everyone went home read a terrible headline: "Teacher Fired." But this wasn't near relevant to the true tragedy, the fact that Gab had committed suicide. This was terribly upsetting and caused several students, like Bethany and Travis, to punch Dan. When Emily found out, she felt depressed, but thought about Eric and totally forgot about the incident.
