"You're taking your test tomorrow right?" Emma asked Simon when she took a seat next to him in the common room.
"Yes, but none of this seems to be going in and if I don't pass then I don't get to drive," Simon dropped his head into his hand and groaned inwardly at the same time Will, Jay and Neil took a seat near the them and Jay smiled.
"Think of all the places we can go to once you pass this test," Will said excitedly and Simon narrowed his eyes at him and raised a brow.
"So you're going to be paying petrol money in order to fund all of these funds?" he asked Will who sat back a little and remained silent whilst thinking.
"I would pay a little towards the cost," he murmured and Jay grinned wildly.
"That's even if he can pass. We watched his attempt at reversing the other day and if I have to be brutally honest I would say that even Emma could do a better job," Jay raised his hands in admittance and Emma frowned before turning her glare onto him.
"Am I meant to be insulted by that or complimented?" she asked Jay.
"Emma, you're a woman. Everyone knows women drivers aren't as good as male drivers," Jay shrugged.
"And that is obviously why women have to pay lower insurance then men," Emma told him.
"That's just because women sleep with men from insurance companies so that they get lower insurance. Everyone knows that, right Neil?" Jay asked.
"No word of a lie," Neil agreed.
"If it came from Jay's mouth then I am sure that rule doesn't apply," Emma said dryly as she raised her gaze over Jay's shoulder and onto Andrew who was stood near the pool table looking at her. She smiled over to him and he did the same before moving his head to the left indicating they should go to lesson. The rest of them followed her gaze and then snickered.
"Go on Emma. Pretty boy is after you," Jay laughed and Emma stood up and slung her bag onto her shoulder.
"Well I won't keep him waiting then," she told them.
"You have been doing for the last three months" Jay laughed.
"Brilliant," Neil laughed.
"Is everything sex related which comes from your mouth Jay? Or do you do it because you're deprived of it?" Emma asked as she swept past him and walked over to Andrew who grinned lazily.
"Hey," he spoke as the two of them began to take off down the corridor towards their Law class.
"Hey, you alright?" she asked.
"I'm good...look Emma, I wanted to ask you something..." he began.
"Hmm?" Emma wondered as she kept walking alongside him.
"I wanted to ask you if you felt like going out with me sometime," he said and Emma looked into his blue eyes. He being the most popular boy in the year was asking the social reject who hung out with sex obsessed boys to go on a date. Emma nearly had a heart attack.
"Yeah...I mean yes...I would love to," she replied as he held the door open for her.
...
"You would never guess what!" Emma exclaimed when she took a seat next to Simon in the common room.
"Andrew asked you out?" he guessed and Emma frowned and looked at him in interest as to how he knew.
"Yeah...go on then, who told you?" she asked him and he shut his driving book.
"The whole sixth form is going on about it. You've angered Maria," he whispered as the ex-girlfriend of Andrew Pearce was sat across the room talking to her crew of cronies.
"They broke up in the summer didn't they? Why would the big breasted bitch care?" Emma said back and Simon placed a hand over her mouth to stop her from speaking loud.
"Keep it down...she could hear you," Simon warned her and she nodded in agreement before he released her mouth from his hand.
"But seriously Si. She left him so she shouldn't complain and from what I heard from Carli she was a cow to him," Emma told her friend.
"Carli? How does Carli know?" Simon asked, his heart quickening at her name like usual.
"She knows everyone dumb ass. She is as popular as Maria and Andrew so she finds stuff out," Emma shrugged.
"Just be careful Em," Simon warned.
"I can handle her Simon," Emma spoke lazily before sitting back.
"I hear you and Andrew Pearce are getting it on," Jay said as he sat down.
"Beautiful phrasing," Emma whispered.
...
"You had best get me back before seven Simon," Emma warned as she sat in the back of his new yellow car with Will next to her.
"Don't worry. The park isn't open till seven so you will be fine," Simon replied and she leaned back.
"And I would like to get back in one piece," she added.
"Well that will be easy considering the way Simon drives this shit heap," Jay laughed to himself.
"Don't insult my car and what is wrong with my driving?" Simon didn't dare to look away from the steering wheel to glare at Jay who was smirking like usual.
"You drive too slow...you missed another opening!" Jay exclaimed and Simon continued to look left to right as he attempted to find an opportune moment to pull out.
"Go now!" Jay yelled. "Look the girls are getting away!"
"That could be because they don't want you to stalk them Jay," Will suggested.
"Nah that's not it...women love a chase," he shrugged Will's idea off.
"No. No they don't," Emma agreed with Will as Simon finally turned out but then there was the loud beeping of horns from around them and Emma peered out of the windows.
"Oh God," she complained and shrunk down in her seat.
"You've interrupted the middle of a funeral," Will stated as Simon tried to pull out to overtake the car with the coffin in it.
"Now, we've definitely lost them," Jay raised his hands in complaint.
"I can't pull out," Simon complained.
"Try," Emma urged him.
"There is nowhere to go to...oh shit," Simon moaned out loud.
...
"Look there's the girls. Reverse quickly and let's get in there," Jay spoke as Simon pushed the car into reverse. Emma looked out the window to see if the car was in the lines.
"You're not straight Si," she commented and he moved the car forwards.
"Oh screw that. Let's go," Jay began to open the door just as Simon reversed once again. Emma heard a loud crashing sound before Jay muttering swear words and Simon yelling at him. Will raised a brow at Emma and then the two of them climbed out the back only to find a door on the car missing.
"Oh God," Emma commented as Simon and Jay argued.
"You're paying for it!" he yelled and picked up his door.
"It's not my car," Jay retorted.
"You did it Jay. You're paying!" Simon roared.
"Should we leave them to it?" Will asked and Emma nodded.
"They'll follow," she told him and then the two of them made their way into the theme park to find Neil.
...
"Please tell me that is not Neil," Emma begged as soon as she saw a monkey jumping around on the footpath of the grounds. Jay raised a brow as the monkey used his hands to swat away something which was apparently bothering him. The four of them stood there and then began to laugh loudly when the monkey did, in actual fact, turn out to be Neil.
"That is tragic," Jay laughed as he began to walk towards them.
"Shut up," Neil complained.
"Or what? You won't give us a banana?" Simon laughed loudly and Emma coughed in an attempt to try and hide her laughter.
"Leave him alone guys...at least he is making money," Emma told them.
"Anyway Neil...are we going to go on the Nemesis Inferno or not?" Will suddenly asked as he looked at his watch and pushed his glasses further up onto his nose.
"Yeah...I just need to go and change out of this...why do you have a car door with you Si?" Neil asked his friend who rolled his eyes and began to follow Neil off to the changing rooms.
"I'll wait out here," Emma said when the four of them disappeared into the changing rooms. Whilst they was gone Emma felt her phone vibrate and saw that it was her father attempting to get hold of her.
"Dad," she said down the phone.
"Emma. Please may you tell me as to why you have Andrew Pearce phoning the house phone?" her father asked her and she slapped her hand to her forehead. She had given him her home number. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
"Well...you see...Andrew...he asked me out...and I said yes...we're off out tonight," she told her father.
"Andrew Pearce? As in the man slag who was going out with Maria Stevens?" Gilbert raised a brow as he spoke down the phone to his daughter.
"Dad! He is not man slag! But yes that is the one," she agreed.
"And need I make his sixth form days hell in an attempt for the dim wit to see that he can't break your heart without me messing up his university application?" her father asked and Emma did smile vaguely at what her father had said. In his own way he did care for his child.
"No dad. I'm fine...we're fine...look I have to go now," she made her escape from the conversation just before the boys returned back out.
"Who were you talking to on the phone?" Simon smirked as they began walking again.
"Just dad," she said honestly.
"Does Gilbert know you're fucking Pearce?" Jay wondered.
"Considering we're not fucking no he doesn't," Emma frowned.
"Anyway...are you sure your sister's boyfriend will be able to fix my car door?" Simon panicked as they stood near the Inferno which was about to shut.
"Well he works in a garage," Nail shrugged.
"Come on Si...stop worrying. Neil knows him and it will be alright. We will have your car fixed and Emma will be able to go on her date," Will tried to tell him optimistically until finally Simon sighed and nodded before he followed them up into the queue.
"Considering there are four seats at the front one of us will have to go alone," Will looked at the group.
"I'll go alone," Emma finally said when she realised none of the others were going to give in.
"Sorted," Will clapped his hands.
"I'll go with her," Simon said and he smiled at Emma who nodded back. There was only Simon in the group who knew that Emma was slightly scared of heights and rollercoaster's. When they finally reached the end of queue Simon and Emma went to sit in the second row and then Will began the argument.
"But me and my friends have queued up for ages to secure these seats," Will spoke stubbornly.
"Will! Would you just sit down!" Emma shouted over to him. Simon was sat at the end of the four seats as Emma was next to him before she was joined by Jay and then Neil next to him.
"Oh God," she groaned as the ride began to move. She screamed mainly in fear rather than excitement as the rid tossed and turned and by the end of it she thought she was shaking as Simon helped her from the seat.
"I. Hate. Rollercoaster's. "she spoke angrily as they saw the people who Will had offended.
"You didn't?" she checked but the look on his face told her that he did.
"Oh my God," Simon exclaimed and Neil and Jay laughed at Will's disgrace.
...
"I'm sorry about this," Emma said when she climbed into her dad's car. She was leaving Will, Jay, Simon and Neil to get a lift with Simon's dad. Considering there would be no room for her.
"And may I ask why I had to trawl down here to pick you up?" Gilbert raised a brow. He wasn't angry with his daughter but he was slightly annoyed and then he laughed at the story which she told him.
"So now Simon's car needs serious work," she told her father who nodded.
"By the sounds of it yes," he agreed.
"Oh crap...dad...I need you to drop me off outside the cinema..." she told her father when she finally checked her watch.
"Fine. I don't like this," he replied but she rolled her eyes.
...
"Andrew...hi...look I'm sorry I am a little late," she said when she approached him. He was stood holding two tickets to the movies and he smiled lazily at her.
"It's fine Emma...what happened...you look a little..." he didn't know what to say and so once again she began to retell the story.
...
"I had a really nice time," she admitted when he drove her home. He stopped the car and nodded in agreement.
"Maybe we could do it again sometime?" he suggested and she nodded eagerly.
"I'd like that," she agreed and he smiled. They held eye contact for a few minutes before she realised she was leaning into him and then she was kissing him.
...
I have to once again say thank you to my only reviewer! This is for you! Hahahaha :D
