The Shadowbeats

Chapter 3

Saturday went over quick, pretty much dancing the entire day. It's sunday now...

Shadowbeats is gonna be in school... Liam is gonna be in school...

I sigh.

"Is everything okay, honey?"

My mom asks me. I forgot I'm in the kitchen eating breakfast with her. Was too lost in thoughts.

"Yeah... just thinking about stuff."

She tilts her head, looking at me worried.

"Honey, if you have any problems or worries, you can talk to me."

She puts her hand over mine and smiles. I return the smile to her.

"I know. Thanks mom."

After breakfast I do the dishes and head to my room to dance.

"Emily! Zoe is here!"

I hear my mom shout from below and pause the game.

Weird. She didn't told me she's coming over today. Wonder if something happend.

I rush downstairs to Zoe.

"Zoe! What are you doing here? Why didn't you write me? Is everything okay?? Did something happend??"

I bombard her with questions, hugging her and pull away to take a look.

She seems fine.

Zoe just laughs.

"Hey Emily. Nothing happend. I just came over to hang out."

I nod and look at my mom. Usally she wants to know when Zoe's coming over for planing dinner.

She just nods.

"We have enough ingredience for 3 people. Zoe, why don't you stay till dinner?"

Zoe nods, smiling at my mom.

"I'd love to thanks."

We all nod and me and Zoe head to my room.

I close the door and look at her suspiciously.

She has a huge backpack with her and also she never comes over just to hang out without saying anything beforehand.

"So. What's the real reason you're here?"

I cross my arms infront of my chest, looking at her serious.

Zoe flashes her eyelashes at me innocently.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

I stand my position, raising an eyebrow.

"You came over 'just to hang out' with a giant backpack like you want to go on a weekend trip."

She laughs and opens her backpack.

"Alright alright. Geez. Someone's in a bad mood.

My eyes widen in surprise. I'm in a bad mood...? I think about what could upset me...

Shadowbeats comes to my mind and I immediatly feel sad.

Zoe snaps her fingers infront of my face.

"Heelloooo? Emily? Did you even listened to what I said?"

I look at her, blinking serveral times and she sighs.

"I said. We're gonna get you into Shadowbeats!"

She takes out a bunch of stuff from her bag and I stop her.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Wait! I said I can't do it! No way!"

She grinnes devilish.

"Maybe Emily can't."

She takes out a short wig and puts it on my head.

"But Aymeric can."
