I was out of breath when I got there. Emma was just getting home. "Emma!" I called hoping that was her name. She spun around and smiled at me.
"Hey John." she said.
"I just...came to tell you that you're stupid little friend needs to leave me alone." I said trying to look really mad and tough.
"He's sweet." she said.
"He's a fag." I corrected her.
"So you ran all the way here to tell me that?" she smiled.
"Yeah..." I trailed off.
"Sure Jonny boy!" she teased.
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever Nelson."
"Do you want to... come in?" she asked.
I nodded. We were just watching tv just like old times. I missed those times. I was lying on the couch and she was sitting on the floor.
"Where's your mom?" I asked after about an hour.
"She's with her friends today." Emma said plainly.
"I miss living here. I miss the neighbors...and the girls." I said slowly.
"You mean me?" she asked
"You were my neighbor right? You are a girl right?" I asked.
She laughed and threw a pillow at me. I moved to the floor so I was sitting right next to her. She bit her lip and looked over at me. I smiled back at her. I leaned in and kissed her. Just yesterday I thought she was stuck up.
"Wait!" she said and pulled back. "Are you going to Degrassi or Lakehurst?"
I was trying not to panic. If you go to Degrassi you're fucking royalty but if you go to Lakehurst you're trash.
"Degrassi. Go Panthers!" I said with a smile.
"Good because I would never kiss Lakehurst guys." she said kissing me again.
I finally pulled away and explained I had to get home. I was pretty happy going home.
My dad stared at me when I got home.
"John!" he barked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Your registration papers for Lakehurst came you need to fill them out!" My heart sank after that when I realised that Emma or any other Degrassi school would never want me.
The next chapter will cover Emma's reaction to him going to Lakehurst. It will go into Emma and Jordan and them Emma and Sean (cough Semma forever cough).
