Chapter Fifteen-Josh's POV


Her jaw dropped and I felt sorry for her, because I didn't mean to do any of this, but what'd she go around telling everybody for? OK maybe just Zach...but still! This is, indirectly, her fault.

Got that conscience? You can seriously shut up right now.

Emma fiddled with her thumbs and muttered, "So are there meetings and stuff?"

Zach nodded and I gulped, she is not going to have a fun time at the meetings. Seeing how I made this mess, and pretty much everybody hated me there now...

She pursed her lips and said, "So why'd the guys disappear? Why not girls?"

I gave Zach a 'tell he and I'll kill you look' and he nodded. "That's something you'll find out at the first meeting."

Probably not, actually, but whatever. No guys are goin to trust a girl. But, I groaned, they are going to hit on her. Most guys at HHS were arrogant assholes. Hopefully Emma can figure that out for herself.

Zach dropped us off at the apartment, giving Emma a hug while I tried to be as rude as possible. I helped her out of the car under Zach's heavy glare. He was good at that! That's twice now! To Emma he said, "I'll pick you up at 6:00 K?"

He glared at me to say that it was NOT an open invitation. Emma glanced at me and shrugged.

No help there. I guess I'm walking again.

Emma's POV:

I wish I could give Josh a ride, but no way Zach would go for it, and besides, I didn't want to ride in the same car as his anyways. I just didn't want him to walk again.

An I REALLY didn't want to live in the same house as him.

I hauled my backpack up the stairs to Josh's section of the apartment. I yelled down, "Doing homework, bother me and I'll tell the cops I disowned you." I threw my backpack down in the corner byy bed and crossed over to Josh's side to go on the computer.

Google knows everything.

I searched 'humans for higher society' and got tons of responses but none were even close. I tried HHS, same dillio. Finally, annoyed, I tried Josh Poppins.

It's like he doesn't exist.

I practically growled. This turned out to be NO help. I switched off the computer and started my acutual homework.

Not a moment to soon either because then Josh came in asking, "Hungry?"

I shrugged and followed him downstairs.

He had a microwave pizza cooking and ripped off two napkins. We had napkins? Since when?

Seeing my look Josh said, "Stacy gave them to me."

I bit my lip to keep from gagging, but an "Ew," came out despite my efforts. Seeing as I had already said something I added, "And how romantic." I rolled my eyes, some part of me satisfied that she was a lousy girlfriend.

"I told her we didn't have any," he snapped. "And besides, it's not like Zach's NEVER helps YOU."

That wasn't why I was making fun of him at all, but him saying that sparked my argumentive side. "He doesn't."

"The ride?" he raised his eyebrows, and I ignored how hot that was and didn't think too hard about it. For obvious reasons.

"That's different. HE'S just my friend."

"A very friendly friend," he muttered bitterly.

Jeesh, was he JEALOUS?

"No. Zach's just a major jerk, that's all," Josh said. Dang it, thought too hard.

I gritted my teeth, "Right because he's the one dissing my friends."

He sighed and put his hands up in surrender, "Listen--"

But I wasn't ready to surrender yet, "NO, you listen. Remember when you were fooling around with your girlfriend Stacy?"

Josh opened his mouth to speak, but I interrupted him, "Well I was in bad shape"--I blushed, but carried on--"I don't know why. Zach came to me. HE made me feel better. Not you, in fact, you made me feel bad all over again. That's all you EVER do. Make me feel bad or stupid or sad. Just stay away from me, OK?" I was on the verge of tears. Again. When as of yesterday I had never cried before.

The doorbell rang. I sighed in relief, not of Zach, mostly for the distraction.

"Starting now," and I ran to open the door to let Zach lead me to his car.

When I see that damned Josh at this meeting, I'm going to ignore him, as hard as anyone ignoring a supercool super-annoying guy can.
