Everyone noticed the sudden closeness between Tancred and Emma. Olivia and Lysander felt bad for not apologizing sooner. The whole thing about ignoring the two was because they wouldn't even talk to each other, basically. There was a reason to be angry, though: Ben and Jamie were still in their lives. The two were acting as if they liked each other (which they did, of coarse) when they had someone.
"What should we do, Olivia?" Lysander wondered just as Charlie, Billy, and Gabriel came up to them, closely followed by Fidelio.
"What're we talking about?" Fidelio wondered.
"Nothing," Lysander and Olivia say at the same time, causing everyone to look at them suspiciously.
"Are you sure?" Charlie had a knack for sensing trouble, apparently. He'd gotten himself in so much of it, that he'd grown a way to sense it, everyone thought. The first thing he did was glance at Tancred and Emma walking around the garden, talking and laughing, while Ben and Jamie eyed them with jealousy.
"Yes," Lysander lied.
The four boys walked away to go play soccer with some boys in their dorm.
"Well? What should we do?" Lysander turned to Olivia.
Olivia thought for a moment. "Get Jamie and Ben to come to your house this weekend to work on the project. I want you to set up a tape recorder and tape everything you guys say. Try to get them to as something that could get Tancred or Emma to break up with them. I have a feeling that if there's one break up, there'll be another following close behind."
"Olivia, when did you get so devious?" Lysander wondered.
"I've played the roll of the antagonist way too much, Lysander." She joked. It was just her nature, and they all knew it.
"Tancred, what's your problem?" Jamie demanded as they walked into their history class.
"What do you mean?" Tancred wondered.
"I mean, why are you hanging around with Emma? If I remember correctly, you're my boyfriend, not hers." Jamie growled. She was being very over possessive.
"She's my friend, Jamie. She was my friend way before I started dating you. Emma comes way before you on my list of friends. I hardly know you, Jamie. It's as if you're purposely trying to make me miserable. You won't ever let me hang out with my friends. It's no fair."
"I should come before that brat on your list of friends. The girl hardly talks. How are you friends with her?" Jamie demanded.
Tancred sighed, calming down a little. Everyone was staring at them, due to the wind that was blowing around. "Emma is one of the sweetest girls I know. She puts everyone before herself and knows when something is wrong. Unlike you."
Jamie laughed. "That's a stupid reason."
"Either stop being rude about Emma or it's over between us, Jamie." Tancred challenged.
Jamie froze, "You'd choose that bird girl over me?"
"Of coarse,"
"I'm not going to apologize. That's my opinion on Emma. If you don't accept that, then I guess we aren't good for each other." Jamie sighed. "It was nice while it lasted."
Everyone had turned away except Lysander. He had a grin on his face. Tancred and Jamie had just broken up. Wait until Olivia heard this.
Emma was walking towards the dining hall when someone grabbed her and pulled her into the bathroom. She gave a small scream.
When she was in the bathroom, she found herself facing Jamie, who was glaring daggers at Emma. "What's wrong, Jamie?"
"You!" Jamie yelled and used all her will power not to lunge at the dainty girl.
"What did I do?" Emma wondered, with a certain innocence that caused Jamie to explode.
"You're the reason Tancred broke up with me! He'd rather be friends with you than date me, just because I don't like you! You're dating someone, I hope he understands. I hope he crashes and burns."
"Don't say that about Tancred!" Emma gasped.
Then it all became apparent to Jamie. "You like him, don't you?"
Emma blushed deeply, "No, I don't," she lied.
Jamie grinned as she observed the bird girl, "I look kind of like you, don't I?"
Emma nodded as she realized this. "I guess you kind of do.
"Tancred only dated me because I reminded him of you. He must really like you, Emma. If I were smart, I'd dump Ben, because Tancred is as good as they get." With that, she left the room with a smile on her face. It looks like someone has just joined the light side of the world and the good endowed have another friend.
Emma just stood there and gaped at the air where Jamie had been. Had she really just said that? Had she really just admitted that she had lost Tancred to someone like Emma? Did she basically call Tancred Emma's?
Emma was so confused, yet happy at the same time.
She turned and left the bathroom, and as she walked down the hall, she ran into Ben, who had been searching for her since she wasn't in the dining room, but also because Tancred wasn't in there either. He wanted to make sure the two weren't together. "Come on, Em. Let's go eat."
Emma followed Ben to the dining room and met Tancred just outside the door. Emma couldn't take her eyes off of him. Jamie's words were still in her head, "He must really like you, Emma."
Tancred stared at the couple, then turned and hurried into the dining room before he said something that ruined Emma's relationship with been, which showed how naïve he was being, since Emma wanted to ruin her relationship with Ben, and she had no idea how to do that nicely, which meant it wouldn't happen at all.
Yes, jamie has seen the light, and in my next story, so may be a character. i haven't decided yet. I'm starting to like Jamie again. She's basically giving up Tancred for Emma. She gave up so easily. Now, since i broke Tancred and Jamie up, I hope Tancred does something about Emma. Remember, 4 REVIEWS ON THIS CHAPTER BEFORE I UPDATE!!!!!!
