Oblivious Love

Oblivious Love Chapter 2

Chapter                   2

                        There are always girls that want to go out with me just so they can use me. Even though I know of their intentions I go along like if I don’t. They think I’m just a stupid rich kid that doesn’t know anything. In actuality I’m quite a genius if I do say so myself. Anyways the only people that know that are my teachers and my two best friends, Sophia Rockwell and Emma Lynch. We’ve known each other since grade school well I met the two of them in grade school; Emma and Soph have been together since birth. Once I met them we all clicked with one another. Soph was always the manipulator that could get whatever she wanted from guys. For some reason when they look at her they become putty in her hands. Except for me I guess because I’ve known her for so long it has no effect on me. But I still help her when it comes to convincing the ladies. That’s when I use the Chad charm and swoon them over. Soph and I can do a lot of damage when it’s just the two of us.

            On the other hand there was Emma that kept us balanced with her golden brown wavy hair and hazel eyes. She was beautiful in my eyes she was so pure and nice to anyone she met. Although never think that she was naïve and innocent. She has a bad side that you don’t want to get on. I swear she scares me sometimes when she’s angry. Lately I’ve been seeing her more than just my best friend. Emma was the one person that truly understood me and didn’t fall for my charisma. She was different in a good way. That girl has an effect on me and doesn’t even know it.

            Enough I need to stop thinking about her that way. She will never see me in that way and probably only like me as her friend. It doesn’t help that she is going out with my step brother Nick. Being her best friend sucks when it comes to her and Soph talking about boys when I’m around, it’s agonizing. I don’t know what she saw in him he was blonde and had brown eyes. Nothing compared to me.

             Looking at my clock I noticed that it was almost seven in the morning. Knowing her she was probably already awake cause of the sun. Sometimes I think she likes waking up early if not then why would she choose the same bed for the past four years. I decided to text her seeing as I was bored out my mind. As I waited for her response I noticed that my roommates were still sleeping… surprise surprise. I always was a morning person so it didn’t bother me. I heard my Blackberry vibrate telling me I received a text.

Morning to you too stranger :P I’m hungry!!!! Bring me food my tummy is growling

            I laughed she can be so cute sometimes. After I replied and I got dress to go eat out with her. Finding it hard to decide on something to wear I finally decided on some dark wash jeans and a white v-neck. After I was dressed I went to the bathroom did my business and checked one final time at the mirror. No more bed hair. Check. Phone. Check. Wallet. Check. Shoes. Crap forgot about that. I decided on some casual loafers. Before leaving I grabbed my black leather jacket remembering that it was going to be chilly today. Once I was done I went to the hallway to see Emma jamming to her Iphone.

            Slowly I crept up behind her and yelled “boo”. She yelped and was holding her heart. “You ass you scared the living daylight out of me.” She said to me at the verge of tears. Instantly I felt guilty for scaring her I didn’t like seeing her cry. I pulled her to my chest and hugged her tightly. “I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to scare you that badly.” I apologized to her while rubbing her back up and down. It felt great to have her so close to me. She slowly pulled away from me and I was disappointed. I miss having her close to me. “And you said I couldn’t act. That’s payback for scaring me. Now let’s go this chick is hungry.” Emma said as she smirked at me. I should’ve known that it was a trick. “Ha-ha very funny you got me. Now let’s go eat at Einstein.” I knew that it was her favorite place she smiled her mega watt smile and grabbed my hand pulling me to the bagel shop.

            Once we got to Einstein I ordered a bagel with cream cheese on the side while Emma got a Panini and some coffee. Emma always did have an addiction to coffee I learned the hard way to never mess with her and her coffee.  “So how are things with Nick going?” I asked her. Even though I didn’t like her talking about him I still wanted to make sure he treated her right and behaved. Nick was known as having his way with girls and then just dumping them. But of course Emma saw the best in people and gave him a chance. They have been going for four months. Which I’m surprised they lasted this long. “We’re okay I guess. He can be so sweet one moment but the next he was a jerk. I’m not sure if I want to keep seeing him.” Emma told me. Trying to hide my excitement in I breathed in and out. “That’s too bad you guys seemed like everything was great.” I tried to sound convincing.

            After a while we sat in a comfortable silence and just ate our food. My phone started to play “This is the New Shit” by Marilyn Manson telling me I had received a text from Soph.

I swear if u 2 are eating without me ill go crazy!!! U no im capable jkkk. Where you guys at im lonely :(

When I finished reading her text I chuckled at how Soph didn’t like being left out. Emma was looking at me with a confused expression. After I read her the text she knew who it was right away. She laughed along with me.

We are indeed eating without you my dear darling. lol we are at Einstein’s come already so we can go do something. :P

            After I knew that we were done talking I stared at Emma and noticed that she seemed to be down in the dumps. “Hey are you okay? You seem a little down. What’s wrong? You know you can talk to me.” I said while I gave her a reassuring smile.  “I’m fine just a little cold is all.” She tried to convince me but I knew already that she was lying to me. “Don’t lie to me I know that there is something more than that. Tell me I’m supposed to be your best friend. If you can’t tell me who are you suppose to talk to.” I sat next to and gave her a side way hug trying to give comfort her. Once she put her head on my shoulder I knew that she was trying to hold something in. “Tell me what’s wrong”, I pulled her chin up so she can face me. Looking at her chocolate brown eyes I got lost in them. We were slowing leaning towards one another… slowly.

             At that moment Soph decides to walk in the store and looks at me. Only I saw her and she shook her head in a disappointed shaking her finger. Knowing what she meant I started to push Emma away. Staring at me with a blank expression I tried to pretend like I didn’t see her face and yelled “oh hey Soph you’re finally here. About time you got here.” I said trying to change the subject. From the look Soph was giving me I knew that she wanted to talk or lecture me about what almost happened.
