Emma was walking her way to school when our favorite orange civic came rolling up and the passanger window rolled down.

Jay leaned over while driving slowly, "Hey Greenpeace!" he called and as soon as she heard that she stopped, his car stopped just as ubruptly too and he smirked as if teasing her.

Already, so early then the usual scedual!

Emma shook her head but found herself smiling, "Go away."

"You want a ride?" he asked, smirk turning into a grin, "I'm feeling my once a year good deed coming up."

Emma began to walk again but laughed, shaking her head no. She couldn't stop smiling and ran a hand through her hair trying to look the other way so he didn't see.

"I've got air conditioning too which is impressive." Jay just drove along beside her and kept talking, "Me being so trailer trash and all."

Emma was really smiling now and laughed out loud. She stopped and looked at him and he even gave a puppy looking pout and she eyed him closely.

"Fine." she made a scoff as if it bugged her and went over, when she held her hand out to open her door the car moved up a little.

"Oh sorry, foot fell off." Jay insisted, backing up to her again as she gave him an as if look.

She tried again and he drove backwards and she crossed her arms but laughed, "I'll walk!" she yelled at him but just couldn't find the anger when she heard him laughing too and he sped his car up to her and leaned over, opening the door for her, grinning like an idiot.

Emma rolled her eyes but got in as he sat back up and now they sat together, car not moving, and snuck a look at another the same time.

"You're an ass." Emma simply told him.

"You love it." Jay confirmed and blared his rock and roll music knowing she'd hate it and sped off, laughing again when she playfully hit his arm.

When they got to school thankfully only a few cheerleaders were outside, but to Emma's dislike, Darcy was one of them and eyed her getting out of Jay's car.

Emma suddenly felt..guilty. But for what?

"You crazy about him?" Jay suddenly asked, walking up to school with her.

She jumped and gave him an insane look until she shook her head, Rick..he meant Rick. "Yup, couldn't be any more crazy for him."

Jay glanced at her as they took their steps up the school stairs and chuckled softly seeing how bored she looked when she said it.

After that day, Jay also gave her a ride the next day, and the next, and he was dying to again after the weekend and Monday came around...and Emma was depending on it too..yet it was just a 6 minute walk and it was Spring..

"She's getting pretty cute no?" Sean had to admit, working on Jay's orange civic with him.

Jay was working under the hood and stopped, wondering what the hell Sean was talking about until he glanced across the street to Emma and Manny coming out from THE DOT, saying goodbye to their friend Liberty. He then started to stare at the engine.

Sean was whiping his greasy hands on a rag as he tilted his head, seeing Emma laughing with her friends..

Jay just went back to working, "You dated her." he said roughly, "Wasn't she always cute?" he couldn't look Sean in the eye, not only for guilty reasons such as Jay thinking Emma was more than cute.. He just couldn't understand why Sean was now picking up interest again in Emma..since Jay's met her, he's never stopped thinking she was a riot, a damn one at that.

"Guess the word I'm looking for is hot." joked Sean, looking back at Jay "Think I should ask her out again?"

"Didn't you kinda break her heart?" Jay asked, feeling a bit protective.

Sean shrugged, "Me and her always are on and off."

"Aren't you ON with a different girl?" Jay taunted, "Ellie?"

Sean shook his head, "She doesn't have what Emma does. That spark you know.." he drifts off.

Jay looked at him like he was crazy, "Then why'd you let go of it the first place?" he barked. Only someone selfish could let something as good as that go when you never deserved it in the first place..

Sean gave him a wierd look, "Since when does it matter to you? You never got along with her."

Meanwhile with Emma, Manny nudged her, "Look, theres trouble across the street." she said, noticing the bad boys but they had just missed them looking over at them ironically too.

Emma looked twice when she noticed Jay with Sean and tilted her head curiously.

Liberty smirked, "Its fun seeing bad boys out of school, its like going to the zoo." she joked.

Emma was too in thought and shook her head and looked up, "Gonna go before it rains." she admitted.

Manny looked shocked, "OH yeah! Lib? Can I get a ride.." she drifts and the girl nodded since going that way too.

"Em, you want one?" Liberty kindly offered.

Emma was half paying attention, watching Sean saying Goodbye to Jay as well and Jay now alone.

"Em?" Liberty said again.

"No." she said quick, maybe too quick cause they gave her wierd looks until the grey sky cracked a lighting spark and big thunder noise.

Manny squeeled and grabbed Libertys hand when it began to rain, "She likes the rain! Me? Not so much!" the two laughed and waved goodbye running to Libertys car.

Emma laughed and put her red hood on, and began quickly walking down the street the other way

Sometimes, she loved walking in it.. made her feel fresh, better..

As she stopped at a red light she paused for a second and jumped at the crack of thunder. Ok. Maybe it was raining to hard this time.

A car honked and Emma looked to her left and a smile crept to her face as Jay actually smirked, got out of the car and jogged through the rain to open the door for her himself.

She eyed him meanly, playfully, but he gave her a promising look and nodded to inside his car.. no tricks this time.

Emma laughed and sat in, buckling up and he grinned, shutting the door and ran back to the other side as a bunch of cars began to honk behind him when the light turned green.

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart make it real
Or else forget about it
