That Emma Girl 3
That night, Emily was drinking a glass of milk before going to bed. The others were all asleep in their beds. A moment later, Wesley came into the kitchen.
"Hey, Emma," he said, "what's up?"
"It's Emily," she replied, "nothing. Just drinking some milk."
"You know, you're a pretty fierce fighter," Wesley said, smiling shyly.
"Really?" Emily said, blushing, "thanks. You too."
The two chatted little kid chatter until they heard footsteps.
"Goodnight!" Emily whispered to Wesley, rushing out the other door into her bed.
The next morning, the others were eating breakfast as Emily came in. Her hair was tangled and matty and her eyes were bleary.
"You look pretty today," Jayden said as she slid into the seat next to him.
"Really? Wow, thanks," she said, patting her blonde hair.
When Mia offered to do her hair, Emily said, "No! Jayden says I look pretty with it!"
A little later on, Emily and Jayden were training together. Once Jayden was down, Mike came up to her shyly.
"Here you go, Em," he said, offering her a flower. The soil and roots hung off it, but Emily took it and smiled.
"It's beautiful," she said.
As she and Mia played dress up later on, Mike, Jayden, and Wesley met in Wesley and Jayden's room.
"Emily is mine!" they all yelled at the same time, "no, she's mine! She likes me better!"
Kevin, who had overheard, entered.
"Just ask her which one she likes better," he suggested.
"She'll say me!' the three gloated before glaring at each other.
"Okay. Or maybe whichever one she kisses first wins. Only on the cheek," Kevin said.
"Yeah!" all three agreed at once, scrambling off to work on their new ideas.
"What are they fighting about?" Mia asked Kevin a few minutes later.
"They all want Emily to go with them," Kevin explained, "so they want her to kiss them on the cheek to settle it."
"That's silly," Mia said, "we're friends, right?"
"I agree."
And just before she walked away, Mia pecked Kevin on the cheek.
Author Note: P.S. This isn't going to be REAL romance. It'll be more like little kid play stuff. :)
