Chapter 2 – Come Clean (by Hilary Duff)

Emma's POV

Rikki was the one to break the awkward silence. Pointing at the blonde boy she said "This is Will Benjamin" and the direction of her hand changed to the blonde girl as she started saying "and this is…" but was cut off by the blonde girl saying "And I'm Bella Hartley". "Bella and Will this is our friend Emma" said Rikki so that we were now acquainted with one another. "Nice to meet you Emma" Bella said as she held her hand out to me and gave a friendly smile. After a few moments of me standing rudely with crossed arms, and no intention of shaking Bella's hand, Bella slowly pulled her hand away with slightly red, flushed cheeks.

There was yet another short silence before Lewis spoke up with "Em, I know you have travelled the world and probably had a lot of different customs and ways to take in, but the custom in Australia and many other countries is that when someone holds out there hand upon greeting or farewell the person with the hand directed at takes the hand and shakes in a small up and down motion."

"Lewis might look cooler but he just revealed the presence of his inner-nerd" I thought to myself during yet another silence after I didn't respond to Lewis' lecture.

The blonde guy Will was the next to speak. In an attempt to start a conversation he pleasantly said "So Emma is it? How long have you been travelling the world for?", with a smile. "I think you mean why am I back" I stated bluntly, glaring at him. "No, of course not" said Will slightly stunned that I was able to take an innocent comment the wrong way. "I know what you meant" I replied sharply with a fixed glare.

'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in

Zane said "Em, want a juice? It's on the house" attempting to break up the fight I was trying to start. "No, and why would it be on the house? Are you paying? You never paid before!" I said with a strong bitterness in my voice. Rikki knew where this was going so she started explaining a bit guiltily "Em, Zane, well more specifically Zane's dad, bought the café when the Juicenet closed, now we're business partners and run the café together."

I was in total shock. "What!" I said feeling betrayed. Sure I was the one that left, but I was also the one that made an effort to stay in contact with them. I sent the girls detailed letters and gifts but all I got in response was small talk, with no mention of Bella and Will or the fact Zane and Rikki owned the café. "I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you sooner" said Rikki sympathetically. Cleo spoke for the first time after steering clear of the arguments saying "Yeah, sorry Em we should have told you about Bella and Will too".

I was thinking back to the group before Cleo saw me; they seemed really comfortable with each other and close, definitely not the secret keeping type. Oh no. I felt my stomach drop. Do Will and Bella know about the secret? 'Cleo, Rikki can I speak to you? In private." I said pulling Rikki and Cleo by the wrists taking them outside, away from the others. As soon as we were out of ears length of anyone, I whispered angrily "Do Will and Bella know?"

Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean
