EMMA

Chapter 17

I'm literally staring at nothing.

I'm sitting at the cafeteria alone in a table.

I don't want to talk to anyone.

Not when I'm still processing what happened.

Should I tell Emma??

Should I confess to Brixton??

I'm scared.

I feel like I've lifted so many weights.

Suddenly Carter smile as ge sits beside me.

And I'm kinda shock that he's colored his hair red or dark red I can't tell.

"It's scarlet, in case you're wondering what color my hair is" Carter frowns.

"oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" I sigh.

"It's fine" He chuckle.

"I really didn't mean to offend you" I say.

He smile as he touch my cheeks.

"Casey, It's fine! I was just messing around okay?  Loosen up a bit" He smile.

"I'll try" I try to smile.

"So what is this thing that seems to bother you huh??" He smile.

"Nothing is bothering me" I try to smile.

"Bullshit" He frown.

"I'm being honest" I try to chuckle.

"I know bullshit when I hear one" He narrows his eyes and stare at me.

"I'm just thinking about someone" I sigh.

"Who is it?" He smile.

Suddenly Emma sits across the table and smile at us.

"Hey guys! French class gave me a headache" Emma roll her eyes and sigh.

"Tell me about it" Carter laugh.

"Casey! I heard you went partying at Club 62 last night" Emma smile.

"No I didn't" I frown.

"Yes you did! You were with your cousins!" Emma smile.

"That's insane my cousins and I don't party" I frown.

"Yeah! Yep you did" Carter smile as he shows me a picture of me, Jordan and Anna on the official page of club 62.

"Damn it!" I take a deep breath.

"That club is for exclusive High School members!  How did you get in? Where did you apply?" Emma ask.

"now I figure why you're staring blankly" Carter smile.

"Why?" I frown.

"You're guilty" Carter laugh.

"Guilty of what?" I ask.

"Of partying!" Carter smile.

No, that is not the reason at all.

But if I'm not gonna agree with Carter he's gonna go deeper and find out why.

And if he does find out which is one thousand percent possible.

He'll find out that I'm in love with Brixton.

And I can't risk that.

"Yeah! You got me. I'm just scared my mom's gonna find out" I sigh pretending that I'm really sad.
