Chapter Five

Emilia's POV:

"Emilia, your partner is Leon."

"What!! Sir he is hardly ever in class.." I gape at sir, seriously Leon is hardly ever at school and he is hardly ever in this class. Can this day get any worse.

The door swings open, and Leon strolls on in like he owns the place. Speaking of the devil.

"Your late Leon, take your seat." Sir tells him,

Oh this is hell for me, why me!!

"As I was saying, Emilia you are with Leon for the rest of this term." Mr Cruz tells me, giving me a look that says don't argue with me.

"Sir, can't you just put me with someone else. Please." I try, but do you think it worked, nope.

"I'm sorry Emilia, but I have already organised your partners and they are not changing."

I grunt in annoyance, all he had to do was a quick switch of partners that's all, but no. And I thought he was a cool teacher.

"Emilia." says a voice I don't want to hear. I just ignore him.

"Emilia." he whispers,

Silence

"Emilia." he was starting to annoy the hell out of me,

Silence

"Emilia." he demands,

"WHAT!!!" I yell, making the class turn and look at me, making heat rise to my face in annoyance,

"Hi" he smirks,

ARGH, fucking kill me. Oh and I haven't forgotten that he is my fucking tutor. If my life couldn't get any worse.



"Ok class, your practical is set up. Now go to your benches and start." Mr Cruz tells us and sat back down at his desk.

I walk up to my bench with Leon already waiting at the bench,

"Are you going to any work, cause if your not then I'd prefer it if you sat your little ass back at your desk." I tell him straight, you heard my math teacher right, she said that I was failing math and if I fail science too then I am screwed for finishing high school.

"Of course I am Emilia." then he suddenly smirks and I was slightly freaked out, "I heard I'm your tutor," he winks and I gasp in shock,

"Excuse you, I'm only going to learn about math and if that ain't happening then I'm not coming."

"Babe, I know you want me." he smirks and winks at me. Does anyone have a gun to shoot myself with?

"I'd rather die." I tell him with no emotion. "And don't call me babe." I say in a deadly tone. You see Leon is cute but he is a player and like I said I never fall for players.



Science went so slow and don't get me wrong, I had Leon annoying the hell out of me all class. I swear I wanna ditch tutoring, but looks like he wants me to go over his house after school. I just hope he is serious about tutoring me, because if not I'll be out of that house within two seconds.

Anyways its break now and I just have my homemade pancakes for a snack, I like them cold. I'm just weird like that. Today I decide to sit outside under a tree, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I don't think so, Dylan decides to hang out with me and brings his gang with him.

"Hey." he greets with a smile,

"Hey." I reply returning the smile,

"Mind if I sit with you?" he asks, I guess he already knew I would say yes, cause he was taking a seat and so was his group.

It consisted of four guys and two girls, I've seen them around but don't really know of them.

"Emilia, right?" the dirty blonde asks with a smile. He has blueish greenish eyes, and was tall.

"Yea, and you?" I ask, this is the first time in ages since I've spoken to a new group of people. I have trust issues and I always will.

"Well I'm Aiden." he tells me politely putting out a hand for me to shake and I did, giving him a polite smile.

"I'm Cory" says the boy with darkish brown hair with green eyes, Cory was shorter than Dylan by at least an inch, but he was still taller than me.

"I'm Phoebe." says the girl with long dirty blonde hair, she has blue eye and was average height, with a little wave and a small smile,

"Hey, I'm Ava." Ava smiles and also gave me a little wave. She has green eyes and her brown hair was not short but not long, it stopped half way at her back. Ava was a tad shorter than Phoebe.

"I'm Hunter, cutie. Nice to meet you." I think I blushed abit. He was tall, had black hair and brown eyes.

"Don't mind him he's just a flirt," Ava tells me, with a smile,

"Nah it's cool." I say with a smile, and I think I was still blushing,

"I'm Jace, Dylan your right she is pretty." That earns him a whack on the head by Dylan, and I just laugh. Jace had dirty blonde hair with green eyes. Jace was tall.

"WHAT!! It's true!!" Jace mumbles, and I'm pretty sure my face was as red as a tomato

"Well, its nice meeting you all. You might already know but I'm Emilia, but you can call me Em. I don't mind." I told them, they sound like a nice group but still, I'm only getting used to having friends. Trust me, those people you may call friends, yea they always leave you in the end and you realise they only used you.

"Well I'm just glad we have another girl in our group," Phoebe says with excitement,

"Hey, Phebs I have an idea." Ava told her friend with a huge smile, "lets take Emilia out shopping today after school." she says with enthusiasm,

"Nah gu..."

"YES!! That's a great idea Ava." Phoebe says with even more excitement,

"Nah, i don't think.."

"Oh, come on Em. We can get to know each other more" Ava pleads,

"I don't know, I'm not really the shopping type of girl. In fact I hate it." I tell them honestly, I look over at Dylan and he gave me apologetic smile,

The girls gave me puppy dog eyes, "Pleaaasssseeeee!!" they beg,

I guess I'll have to or they'll keep asking, "Fine, I'll go" I tell them,

"Yes!" they cheer,

"We can pick you up after school at your house. Say... three?" Phoebe asks me, with a half smile.

Then I just remembered I have tutoring but Leon didn't actually give me a time so, maybe I can go after going out with the girls.

"Sure." I say with a smile,



Well now it's five minutes before school finishes and I just can't wait to get out of here. Right now I have business services but it's pretty boring, our teacher Mr Hyland is just going over WHS for the exam that's coming up, but the thing is I'm ahead in this class already and going over this is just boring cause I already know all this. Tapping my pen on the desk definitely sped up time since the bell is going to go in three.. two...one.

Riiiinnnnnnnngggggggggg

I guess today was alright apart from the fact that Leon has to tutor me and be his science partner. I still don't know if making friends is a good idea, but I guess I'll give it a shot. It's been what, three years since I've actually had a group of friends. And today is Thursday, one more day of school to the weekend.



Once I get home I get ready it was two thirty, so I had thirty minutes to grab my stuff, not that I have much. I'm not a girly girl, so I'm not fussed about what I'm wearing, my hair, or my make-up (since I don't wear make-up). I was wearing what I was at school, black jeggings with dark grey sweatshirt, I grab my wallet and phone, And go downstairs to kill time, I watch tv until the doorbell rings.

Dinngg Donnggg

I look through the peep hole and see Phoebe,

"Hey." I say once I open the door,

"Hey, ready to go?" Phoebe asks me and I nod, "good"



Soon later we were at the mall, it was only a thirty minute drive downtown,

"Ok, girlies. Where should we go first?" asks Ava, she looks excited I guess,

"Lets just look around first, but Victoria's Secret has a sale on." Phoebe tells us, with a small grin,

"LETS GO!!" Ava yells making a few people look at us, I just stood there not caring about a thing.

"VICTORIA'S SECRET HERE WE COME!!" Phoebe yells in a cheery reply. Why did I agree to come?



"So how did you and Dylan meet?" asks a curious Phoebe, I just laugh at the thought,

"You really want to know?" I ask and the girls nod, "fine, long story short. He broke into my house and ended up in my room, well he actually broke my bedroom window, so yeah." I told them and when I look up their mouths were gaping like goldfish, opening and closing there mouth, trying to figuring out what to say,

"He did what?!" They say in a shocking tone with wide eyes,

"He broke.."

Phoebe cut me off, "Why?"

"Well, that is something you have to ask him. He told me something about hiding from someone and wouldn't tell me who." she gives Ava a worried look, I just shrug it off,

"Ooo these are hot." Ava says getting distracted by Victoria's Secret, holding up a set of lingerie. It was black push-up bra with three straps along the back with matching panties.

"Sah sexy!! You should totally buy them gurl!" Phoebe says adding a wink at the end, "Em, you should get these!!" I turn around to see Phoebe holding up a set of lingerie, tan with black lace and a tan colour bow in the middle with matching panties... HELL NO!! They surely are uncomfortable, I always go for loose cotton panties.

"NO!!" I feel heat rush to my face in embarrassment.

"YES!! I'm getting them for you Em." she said with a half smirk, "and on the plus side, I'm sure Dylan will like..."

I'm so not going to let her finish that sentence, I'm sure my face was full red right now.

"Look, Phoebe. I don't know what exactly he told you about me but trust me, me and him ain't going to happen, he is a player and I don't fall for players." I tell her straight, and she suddenly looks guilty of something.

"Wellthatsnotwhathesaid." she mumbles under her breath, I didn't hear her properly since she said it really fast but I don't think I was mean't to hear that.

"I'm sorry Em," but then her smile returned "but I'm still getting you these, think of it as a welcome to the group present"

"Oh, no I can't let you do that. There expensive, and plu..." Ava cut me off,

"No, we are getting them for you ok. We are all friends now and that's what friends do, right?" she asks with a big smile,

"Do what you want." I mumble with a light smile. I guess maybe these girls are different, or maybe they're just like everyone else who left me.



About an two hours later, we get back to my house. Only to notice a motorbike out front and I surely tell you, it's not mine. I look at the girls and smile, "Thanks for today, I had fun. Cya Phoebe, Cya Ava." I say opening the door,

"Yea, anytime. By the way call me Phebs." Phoebe tells me, smiling.

"Em, I'm glad we met. Oh and you can call me Av." Ava says with a smile on her lips.

"Cya, girls."

"Oh, and why is Leon Gibbens here at your house?" Phebs asks me, shit looks like I won't be hiding my secret anytime soon.

"Well.. h-he kinda i-is my..

"BOYFRIEND? HE IS YOUR BOYFRIEND" Ava yells, surprised. Hell to the no,

"Av, he's my tutor. I forgot to mention to you that I had tutoring after school," I turn my head to see an annoyed looking Leon looking our way, "I better go, I'll cya tomorrow."

"Wait, just a warning for you. Leon flirts with most girls that are cute, and you are, so be careful," Phebs warns looking worried,

"And DON'T fall for his charms." Av finishes, They really think I will fall for this badboy/player,

"You have nothing to worry about girls, trust me. I don't fall for players." I smile and close the door. Prepared for what's about to happen.

"Your late." Leon states, to say he looked pissed was an understatement. Here we go.

"Leon, you didn't really say a time to come by, so I went out." I tell him nice and clear, but you could tell he was pissed. "Is that a problem?" I ask, with a raised brow,

"Yes it is a problem. Just because I didn't give you a time doesn't mean I didn't have plans of my own. And I said after school, is that not clear enough. It's six now." he said through gritted teeth, I thought it would be fun just to annoy him a little.

"If that's the case then why are you here? hmm, oh that's right cause you didn't have plans. And by the way you said meet at yours and your here why?" He looks so angry right now, if looks could kill I'd be dead. Then it got me thinking "Hey!! how do you know where I live?" I ask with wide eyes,

"Please, I have my ways!!" He snickers,

"Kay, well tootles." I gave a slight wave and continue to the door.

"Wait a sec." He says and all of a sudden my back is against the wall with my arms above my head. Argh. Why, why, whyy? "I thought we had tutoring." he winks,

Oh shit, "Maths tutoring yes." I smirk "Whatever your dirty mind is thinking, well then no!!" I say trying to get out of his grip only to have his body up against mine. "Can y-you please get off me now?" I ask him stuttering abit, he just shakes his head,

"Sorry can't do that." he smirks, and starts leaning down, my eyelids close and all of a sudden my hands were released. I open my eyes to see Leon and another person, Dylan in a punch up on my front lawn. Oh, so not good.

"WHAT THE FUCK LEON!! STAY AWAY FROM HER!!" I hear Dylan growl at Leon.

"Dylan?" I ask in disbelief, but I snap out of it fast and run to try and pull Dylan off of Leon. "DYLAN, STOP!!" I yell.

Dylan looks up to see me, he was on top and straddling Leon, gave him one last punch in the face and starts heading towards me and embraces me in a hug. I rest my head against his chest. I look up to see a flash of worry in his eyes, but then they went back to normal. I notice blood dripping down his nose and a blueish/purplish/redish colour forming around his eye,

"Sweet cheeks, are you ok?" he asks me, I could hear the worry in his tone.

"Yea, but I should be asking you that question. Are you ok?" I ask him, with a raised brow.

"I didn't even break a sweat." he smirks. Him and his smartass comments again,

"Come on, let's get you cleaned up." I turn around to see Leon was knocked out cold on my lawn. "And bring Leon inside to." I tell him swiftly,

Dylan gave me a confused look, "Why?" he asks though gritted teeth, I see his eyes go darker in anger,

"Just do it." I tell him, in a tired voice and walk to the door, open it, holding it open for Dylan to come in with Leon.
