Emma's POV

''so what do you think?'' Abby asked for the millionth times today. she has been going crazy since her last date with Levi.

what should i wear?!

do i look ugly today?

are my thighs too fat?

do you think i need to stuff my boobs a bit?!

seriously?! boobs?!

''no! for god's sake, go wear any kind of cloth!'' i shouted making her flinch. she pouted, stomping her way back to the closet. i sighed and plumped myself down on her messy bed. after a while, she got out of the closet with a floral white t-shirt, blue ripped jeans, and white vans.

''finally! should i celebrate?'' i rolled my eyes, getting up from the bed. she glared at me, while stuffing her books in her bag.

''at least, i am now dating my crush. why don't you talk to Noah?'' she teased me giving me innocent eyes.

''maybe because Noah is not my crush!'' i snapped.

''oh, you're in denial, i see,'' she shrugged carelessly. i gave her a disappointed look, and she looked at me questioningly. i know deep down that this devil knows what she is doing.

''good morning, Christine,'' i kissed her cheek, and she did the same, while ruffling my hair a bit.

''good morning, dear. breakfast is ready, you two!'' she sang ascending the stairs. Abby shook her head at her mother, but started eating any ways. i took the fork and melted myself in the waffles in front of me.

''you have Calculus today, right?'' Abby asked with a waffle stuffed mouth. i nodded popping a blue berry between my teeth. i glanced at her, to find her smirking like a maniac. i know what she is thinking-it's because i have Calculus with Noah.

''would you like to tell me why the hell are you smirking?!'' i snapped causing her to laugh heartedly. i dropped my fork, and was about to strangle her, but the house door opened all of a sudden.

''what were you planing on doing to her, if i haven't had entered?!'' Logan asked in a teasing tone.

''shut up!'' i scolded and returned back to my food, after giving Abby a death glare. she blew me a kiss, and side hugged Logan. i took another bite of my crispy waffle, and waited for Lucas to enter. once he entered, we all followed him out to the car.

''okay then, see you!'' i chirped and continued my way to the class. the class was half empty, half full, so i took my seat at the end, near the window. i dropped my bag on the floor, after emptying its content on the desk in front of me, and waited patiently for the teacher to enter.

i kept looking at the class door, seeing people entering and leaving, like some elephant is going to come in any second. after the third person entering, Noah was the forth. he scanned the class, and when his eyes landed on me, a faint boyish smile took place on his features, making my heart skip a beat. he made his way to me, and sat himself next to me.

''how are you doing?'' he asked casually. i bit my tongue, afraid if i didn't, i will scold him. he kept on smiling and moving his face to see mine. i looked at him, and crossed my arms.

''other than being all muddy the other day, I'm totally okay!'' i snapped causing him to chuckle. i looked at him in disbelief, and started playing with my pencil.

''oh come on! it's not like you were the only one who was covered in mud,'' he reasoned out, but i continued ignoring him, while looking in front of me. his hand reached for my hair, that was acting like a curtain between us, and placed it behind my ear softly. i tried looking at the window, escaping his gaze, and definitely not wanting him to see me blushing.

damn that boy!

'beautiful' he murmured gently to himself, but it reached my ear, and caused some flips in my heart. i was in my own thoughts, when a high pitched voice interrupted.

''babe,... why are you sitting with this...dirtbag?'' Stella asked, disgust dropping from her. i chuckled unbelievably, and looked at her challengingly.

''but sweetheart, i don't see any dirtbag here...oh wait, it's you!'' i said in an exaggerated high pitched voice, mimicking her. she glared at me, and was about to say something, but the teacher entered. i waved her goodbye with innocent eyes, and she stomped her way to an empty chair.

''oh! look at you all badass,'' Noah winked, making me roll my eyes.

''i am not a badass, but I'm also not giving her the opportunity to talk to me that way,'' i said looking at the teacher.

''you know i was about to answer her, and make her apologize, but damn princess!'' he said pinching the tip of my nose. i quickly slapped his hand away, and opened the textbook.

i tried answering question 11 multiple times, but ended up erasing my every try. i looked at Noah, and he was already in his 27th question. i opened my mouth in surprise, and he caught me.

''oh close that tempting mouth of yours, before flies enter,'' he smirked, making my voice vanish in thin air.

tempting?

''oh looks like you are stuck,'' he said after taking a look at my book. he took the pencil from between my fingers, and pulled the book near him a little.

''okay, you don't put the negative sign with the second number, you put it with the first, so that its balanced,'' he kept on saying stuff, but i don't know why in that moment, i only looked at him, and his sharp features.

how he would lick his lips quickly from time to time, if it became dry, and how his soft black hair would fall gently on his forehead, and he would quickly push it back up. his grey stormy eyes met mine, and his mouth closed, making his defined jaw appear even more.

''i understood,'' i said dismissively to escape the situation, ''thank you.''

oh boy, when did it get that hot?!

''you know how much i hate this session now?!'' i screamed at Abbs, refusing to go to the Biology class. Biology has always been my favourite, and best scored subject, but with Asher there it looks like hell. and who chooses to be in hell? an insane person!

''come on! you are just gonna go, attend your class, take notes, and ta da! it's done,'' Abby pushed me to the door forcefully.

''okay, at least let me take a final breath, woman!'' i screamed, but she kept on pushing me inside. i struggled a bit to get out of the class, but she pushed me one final push with all her force, sending me right inside. i glared at her, but she sent me an air heart, and made her way to her next class.

in defeat, i walked to my place, which is next to Asher. he was on his phone, and once he saw me, his attention was centred on me. i ignored him, and sat down next to him not saying a word.

''I've been thinking, may be we started off on the wrong foot,'' he started. i looked around me, as if trying to see whose voice is that, until i heard him sigh.

''okay, don't be sarcastic. i am talking seriously!'' he whined making me look at him.

''can you shut up? wrong foot?! you mean wrong leg, wrong upper body, or even a wrong human being!'' i shouted at him in disbelief. he laughed loudly, his brown curly hair bouncing with him. i narrowed my eyes at him, but then shook my head, and looked in front of me.

''no no, but seriously. why don't we try?'' he trailed off, ''hey, my name is Asher, what's your name, beau- girl?'' he asked making me smile. well, they say people change.

not that i believe in that.

''hey, my name is Emma, not beautiful, and definitely not girl,'' i said shaking hands with him. he nodded, and stuffed his hand in his pocket. after a second or two, he fetched a bar chocolate, and extended his hand to me.

''here, wanna share it?'' he smiled acting all polite. i gave him one curious look, and then folded my arms over my chest.

''how do i know it's not poisoned?'' i asked with narrowed eyes. he smiled, and slowly opened the wrapper, and broke a piece shoving it in his mouth. he started chewing, all the while looking at me, and when he swallowed, he extended his hand again with the chocolate. i sighed and took it from him, and popped a piece in my mouth.

''thank you,'' i said, and looked in front of me.

''you are welcome, beautiful,'' he winked, making me glare at him. ''joking, joking, chill!'' he laughed.

''so he gave you a chocolate?!'' Abby screamed dramatically. i rolled my eyes, while taking the English book from the locker.

''yeah, no big deal,'' i said in boredom. her shoulders relaxed, and she zoned out for a bit, before saying,

''i am still team Noah, though,''

''shut up! there are no teams here!'' i smacked her shoulder.

''ouch!... did the chocolate taste good at least?'' she asked in a teasing tone. i was about to answer, when someone else interrupted.

''what chocolate?'' Levi asked as he approached us, following him, Noah.

''Asher gave her a chocolate, so i was asking if it tasted good,'' Abby smiled at Levi, who was looking at her lovingly.

way to cringe my day!

''Asher?'' Noah asked, with his jaw clenched.

''hmm,'' Abby hummed, looking at Noah curiously. Levi was also looking suspicious between me, and Noah.

''and why would you even talk with that ass-hole?!'' Noah asked, anger radiating out of him. i frowned. ''didn't we already say that you are not going to talk to him?''

''well, as much as i remember, i don't take orders from you,'' i said, with a chuckle, (the kind of 'i can't believe you right now' you know?)

''well, Emma. my talk was pretty clear, if i see you talking to that chocolate boy, i swear to God i will hit him like i did before,'' he warned using his index finger, with his jaw clenched.

''what about, that i will talk to him and you will not hit him?'' i raised my voice a bit.

what the hell is wrong with him now?!!

''then try me! because i am man of my word, Emma,'' he said quietly getting closer to me. i backed away instantly, my back hitting the locker. i shut my eyes, trying to swallow my anger.

''let's go, they will make out,'' i heard Abby whispering to Levi. in a matter of second, they were both gone.

''back away, we are in the middle of the hallway!'' i hissed at Noah, who looked unaffected. he kept looking between my eyes, and lips making me forget about my anger.

''why are you so stubborn?!'' he asked in a tired voice. his stormy grey eyes roaming all over my face, with emotions, that are all new to me.

''N-Noah, we are in the hallway, please? my brothers...'' i pleaded. he looked at me with soft eyes, and quickly backed away.

''do not talk to him, Emma. i am dead serious.'' these were his last words before he took off. i swallowed the lump in my throat, and looked around, making sure that no-one saw the scene. sighing i closed my locker, and went to my English class.

''did you kiss?'' Abby asked once i sat next to her on the desk. i rolled my eyes, and shook my head dismissing the topic.

''bummer! but did you see how jealous he actually was?'' she asked, enthusiasm filling her voice.

''no he is just demanding, Abbs. now, can we please concentrate,'' i pleaded, looking at her with innocent eyes.

''well, you concentrate, but I'm gonna think of a way to get you two together!'' she clapped her hand in excitement. i looked at her flabbergasted by her statement.

''whatever.'' i whispered, and laid my head on the desk tiredly.

XOXO

oh god! i am so sorry for the late update!
