Emma had forgiven Ben. After kissing her, he had somehow convinced the bird girl into thinking he was perfect, and that she was the luckiest girl in the world to have him. Now that Emma was by herself, she was beginning to regret the decision, because Ben was almost perfect to her, and now that she had kissed him, and was able to call him her boyfriend, she should feel kind of special when she thought of him, with butterflies in her stomach and stuff, but she didn't. She didn't even feel special when she thought of their kiss. She only felt these feelings when Tancred came into her mind.
She spent the next few weeks with Ben, though. With the dance only a month away, she felt pressured to be with him, because he was her date.
"Emma, you seem different lately," Julia Ingledew told her niece one day while they were eating dinner.
"Really?" Emma sighed, "I hadn't noticed."
"What's wrong, Emma, dear?"
Emma shook her head. "There's nothing wrong," She lied. The truth was, she was so confused it was taking her over, and making the usual, loving Emma disappear.
Julia didn't believe her, but she ended the conversation there.
Emma quickly finished eating, and left to join Ben in the park for a walk.
"Hey Emma," He gripped her hand and gave her a quick kiss.
Like their usual date, the two were silent through most of it. Emma could just feel that very soon, something was going to happen between them….
"Tancred, what's wrong with you? You aren't talking today," Jamie complained as she sat next to Tancred on a swing set in Jamie's backyard. The swing set of for Jamie's devil of a little sister (I guess it just runs in the family :D)
"I'm just tired," He lied. The truth was, his brain wasn't focused on Jamie at all. Like the day at the restaurant, when he'd spoken to Jamie, his thoughts were on Emma. She hadn't spoken to him since the day at the restaurant, and he really just wanted to talk to her. Having no contact with the girl he cared about most of all was torture, and Tancred was sure he would never survive if he couldn't speak to her sometime soon.
"Oh," was all Jamie said. It was if she could see through Tancred's mask, but she just ignored it.
On Monday, in Art class, there would be partner projects.
"I will assign the partners, and I don't want any complaints on who I give you as a partner," the teacher explained and read off the groups."
Both Emma and Tancred were hoping for their girlfriend/boyfriend, but also for their real crush.
"A group of three, Jamie, Lysander, and Ben," she read.
Lysander smiled. Maybe this would work out for his and Olivia's plan.
"Tancred and Emma,"
Emma and Tancred caught gazes then. Ben and Jamie looked up in shock. Lysander's smile widened. This was going to be fun.
"We're going to be working for the next three weeks on this project. You have to make multiple pieces, using different forms of art. This will require a lot of work, which includes weekends. Yes, you will have to join forces on weekends. Got it?"
Emma and Tancred nodded, finding it hard to contain their joy. But, both were dating someone, so nothing was going to happen…right?
i'm super sorry it's so short, but i had to set up what is to come. and the project thing was added in there so that the story didn't end, in, like, 2 chapters. At least this will add in some TancredxEmma moments.
