"You ready?" Ethan asked his girlfriend, who was anxiously jigging her leg. They had just pulled up at school, and told Grayson and Ellie they'd see them in there, because Emma was feeling nervous.
"Yeah" she sighed out, "Let's go"

Ethan walked around the side of the car, taking hold of Emma's hand softly, and strolling over to the doors.
"People are going to look at us" Ethan told her, "but don't worry, it's only because it's drama, there's nothing wrong with you, beautiful"

She gave him a small smile, and kissed his lips gently before nodding and continuing on. As soon as they walked in, all eyes were glued to them. Everyone had seen the drama from yesterday, and want to know all the gossip about everything that had happened before.

They ignored it, and went over to their lockers with their friends, and Emma huffed as she sulked against it.
"Why's our relationship everyone else's fucking business?" She mumbled, with a frown, and Ethan pulled her into a hug.
"It's not our fault, we've got each other, don't worry about everyone else baby" he reassured, kissing her cheek quickly, which brought a smile to her face.

"We're guessing you're back together then?" Hannah asked, with a straight face, as the group watched them all.
"We are indeed" Emma smiled, and Ethan's arms wrapped around her shoulders as his head rested on hers.
"Good, we couldn't take any of that confusing flirting anymore" Aaron joked, and the others lightly laughed.
"We're all happy" Ethan said, turning his head to smile down at his girlfriend, who looked up with a blush.

They spent some time talking about what they would do after school together, about possibly going to a party, or having a group sleepover, as it was the weekend tomorrow.

"So you took him back, huh?" They all turned around to the squeaky voice calling out from down the hallway.
"Of course I did, you really think I'd believe your shit over him?" Emma spat, as she approached.
"You did at first, what changed? Did he make stupid promises again?" She replied, in a baby voice, trying to mock her.
"He told me he loves me, and how little you mean to him" Emma smirked, walking out of his arms and closer towards her.
"I'm sure I meant a lot more than little to him when I was in his bed" Meredith shrugged, smugly.
"From what I heard, you barely put out at all, just a 'quick fuck' after what I've been told" she laughed out, and the girl scoffed at her reply.
"I was a quick fuck that he came back for everyday, at least he gave me his time, rather than leaving me like he did to you before"
"Was, sweetie, past tense. You didn't mean a damn thing, and he certainly won't be coming back to you again, so quit trying, because honestly, you're looking like a huge beg right now, and that's not great for a slutty reputation like yours, right?"

Meredith squealed, and ran away, giving up with Emma, after not having any comebacks to match hers.
"Wow em" Olivia said, shocked, as she walked back to the group, "didn't see that coming"
"Neither did I" she replied, with a giggle.
"Thought she was going to swing for you" Aaron chuckled out.
"Let her, I don't give a fuck" Emma shrugged, with a smirk on her face.

Ethan stood there, he didn't really have any words for what he just saw. He was staring at her in awe, not saying anything, and just admiring how she stood up for herself so confidently.

"You good e?" Grayson clicked his fingers in front of his twins face, bringing his attention back to the conversation. He hummed in reply, and engaged in the conversation, listening to the rest of his friends.

Everyone else had left for lesson, and both Ethan and Emma had the same class together next, so they were left alone to walk together.
"What happened earlier?" She asked, curiously, as his arm slung over her shoulders.
"Hm?" He mumbled, giving her a confused look in return.
"You completely blanked out after the whole thing with Meredith, I thought you were mad at me for it or whatever. Like, because you said you don't want me in drama, and I caused the argument and-" she ranted, being cut off by Ethan's lips desperately attaching to hers.

By now, the halls were empty and they were definitely late to class, so no one could see them. When he pulled away, they stared at each other for a couple seconds, Ethan's hand resting on the side of her face.

"I wasn't mad at you, baby" he whispered, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, and looking down at her with loving eyes.
"Then why did you act so, i don't know, spaced out?" She asked, taking his other hand in hers.
"I wasn't spaced out" he began, "I was thinking about you, and how proud of you I am, for sticking up for yourself"
"Told you. I can fight my own battles, and if that means taking on Meredith to keep her away from you, from us, then I'll do it" Emma smiled, pecking his cheek lightly.
"You sound jealous" Ethan teased, poking her ribs lightly, "aw you're jealous that's so cute!"

A light blush appeared on her cheeks, and she looked down to the floor at her shoes.
"I'm not jealous," she replied, in which Ethan raised a challenging eyebrow, "Okay, fine, maybe"
"Aw, she really loves me!" He laughed, picking her up, and pulling her body over his shoulders, spinning them both around.
"Put me down dipshit!" Emma giggled, slapping his back.

After a while, he put her down safely on the ground, and his hands stayed glued to her hips lightly. They were definitely getting detention for this, but either way, it was worth it.

"Oh and Em?" Ethan said, as she walked out of his arms, and down the hallway to class. She whipped her head around and stopped just in front of him, nodding her head for him to continue.
"You're really hot when your mad" he winked, with a huge smirk, slapping her ass gently, and a squeal erupted from her chest.
"Let's get to class dork"
