Chapter Seven

Emilia's POV:

"Av, Phebs. So you girls in for a sleepover this weekend? Us and the guys!!"

"YESS!!" Phoebe yells, and a few students turn to look at us.

It was lunch now and the girls did hear about the 'Dylan' incident, that's the new gossip of the day at this school. Everywhere I walk you would hear something about it and students just stare at me. Some in sympathy others in looks of annoyance. Hunter told the the girls briefly what Dylan did, both Hunter and Dylan were left in the dark about my tutoring secret but so was Aiden and Cory and I intend it to be that way for a little while. I told Jace about it but I'm sure that he understands why I don't want to tell Dylan.

"Never thought you'd ask" Ava tells us with a smile,

"Ok cool, come by mine tomorrow afternoon round six. Is that alright?" I ask them with a smile,

"Yeah that's fine." Phoebe confirms,

"CAN'T WAIT, THIS IS GOING TO BE SOO FUN!!" Ava yells, and students gave us weird looks.

Riiiiiiiiinnnnggggggg

"Ok, well I'll see you guys later." I say with a wave, and made my way to my last few periods.



I check my timetable to see what I have and its math as much as I hate it, I need to learn it, if that makes sense. I got to class and take my seat, a few minutes later our teacher arrives and starts role call, but what surprises me most was Leon actually turned up to class today.

"Mr Gibbens, take your seat." Mrs Phillips nods, and had a small smile at her lips. Maybe tutoring me is going to make him come to class more often.

Leon took a seat next to me, and I smile at him. He sends one back. Maybe tutoring isn't only going to help me but also Leon, even if he did try a move on me.

"Ok class, we are go..." she gets cut off by the door swinging open, and scares the shit out of me and I'm sure others did to.

"Mr Collins, your late by fifteen minutes wait outside." Mrs Phillips told him,

"And what if i say no." Dylan replies rudely I may add,

"You can go to the principle's office for back chatting, leave now!!" Mrs Phillips tells him in a strong voice.

Dylan looks around the class and see's me, but when he saw Leon next to me he scowls, and takes off, leaving the classroom. Seriously what's his problem, and why does he look so pissed off, last time I checked I should be the one pissed off with him not the other way around.

Mrs Phillips starts her lesson by giving us simple equations and all had to do with algebra, which I'm obviously bad at. She gave a demo of how to do some of the equations, I understand the easy ones but some were really hard, I guess Leon will have to help me with that. Soon later that period was over and I guess I learned a little but I have to practice.

"Guess I'll be seeing you after school." I told Leon,

"Yea, cya later." he says with a wave but he pauses and turns around, "Text me, so I can text you the address. Ciao babe." he says with a wink and walks off. Typical Leon, once a playboy always a playboy.

I check my timetable not really looking were I'm going and turns out I have English. English isn't that bad, our teacher Ms Calvin is really nice and she really helps you understand everything she teaches. At the moment we are learning about Shakespeare, and it's a really interesting topic.



Finally school's over for the week and now the weekend is here, yes. I text Leon earlier and he texts back his address. I went to my car and start to reverse but suddenly Cory jumps behind it and I quickly put my foot on the brake. The hell?

"What the hell Cory!!" I yell, lucky I saw him or I would have ran him over.

He put his hands up in defense, "We just need to talk about... I kinda need a ride." he sheepishly smiles,

"Fine, get in." I tell him annoyed.



Once we were out of the school grounds I ask, "What did you need to talk to me about?"

"Well first of all, what happened after homeroom?" he asks curiously.

How many times have I explained it, "Has Dylan told you his side of the story?" I ask,

"Parts of it."

"Well basically, Dylan got mad at me because I didn't tell him why Leon was at my hous.."

"Leon? What does he hav..." Cory cut me off,

"Just let me explain, ask questions later." he nods, "Ok anyways Dylan beat Leon and they both ended up with bruises. Anyway at school today Dylan was pissed at me cause I wasn't talking to him and when I left class... well how do I put this he slammed me into a locker, yelled at me to tell him what he did wrong, and I told him I was going to be late and he yelled at me saying that he doesn't care if I'm late, he wanted me to tell him, but he squeezed my arm tighter and I told him he was hurting me and that's when Jace and Hunter turned up."

But a thought came to mind, "You don't even want to know what happened when I turned up at school, walking past the janitors closet." just thinking of it makes me sick.

"Dylan did all that." he kept quiet, taking in what I just told him, "Dylan kinda has.. well a problem at home. I'm not saying what cause it's not my place but I think that's why he may have snapped at you and did what I think your saying he did in the closet."

"Sex with Sara is what he did in the closet and he still had no right to snap at me. Did he?" I say with a raised brow concentrating on the road ahead, "Where do you live?"

"Take a right turn at the round about that's ahead," he directed, "Oh and if you don't mind me asking why was Leon at your house?"

"Do I have to tell you?" I ask him, I didn't really want to tell him. Maybe I should just tell the whole group tomorrow, since Hunter doesn't know either, their all going to find out sooner or later.

"No not really, that is your business." he says and I smile at his response,

"How about I just tell you tomorrow. Did Jace tell you about the sleep over at mine?" I ask,

"Oh yea that's right, I almost forgot. Yea he told me and I'm coming." Cory says with a smile, "Yea, just tell me then."

"Ok, come round mine at six." I say, he nods in agreement.

"Turn left here." I nod "Yea that's fine." he smiles,

"Ok good," I tell him with a small smile playing at my lips,

A few minutes later we arrive at his house, we say our goodbyes and I was on my way to Leon's.



As I get closer to his house, the houses look more expensive. And then I arrive at number one hundred and three on his street which was his house. My jaw drops to the floor, there were security gates that led to a mansion and the mansion was beautiful with a large fountain in the middle of the driveway.

I press a button on the intercom and soon a voice asks, "Can i help you?"

"Um is this where Leon Gibbens live?" I ask unsure, there was silence for a moment.

"What business do you have with Mr Gibbens?" the voice asks, it sounds like a middle aged man,

"Leon is my tutor and he told me to come by after school which would be now." I tell him,

The gates open and I drive my baby down the long driveway and park out front. I grab my bag and hop out the car, making sure my car is locked first, not that anyone can steal it in a security gated mansion. I head to the big double doors and it opens, revealing a man in a suit, butler maybe.

"Hi, I'm Emilia." I put my hand out and he gladly shook it,

"I'm Martin, you look like a nice young lady. Come in." he says and opens the door wider, "Mr Gibbens, Miss Emilia is here."

"Oh no, you can just call me Emilia or Em." I assure him, putting my hand up and gave him a smile,

"Martin." Leon nods, "Emilia, follow me." he tells me and I raise my brow, ok.

I follow him up the stairs but not before saying bye to Martin and he nods with a smile. Once I was up the stairs I lost him, he wasn't at the stairs.

"Emilia this way!!" Leon calls from one of the doorways to the left. I quickly walk down to where he was and enter the doorway. I just stand in the spot I was. Looking around the room to see that the room was the size of the whole top floor of my house which was pretty large. There in the room was a King size bed, a large lounge, a flat screen TV, a small bedside table and there was at least another three doors in the room, one that leads to the walk in, another I'm guessing would be a en-suite and the other door I'm not to sure.

"Don't just stand there, come in and close the door behind you." Leon tells me and I quickly did what he said.

"So, what's behind that door?" I ask him curiously,

"That one," he says pointing to it and I nod, "a theatre room" he says and I wasn't sure if I heard him right.

"T-theatre room" I stutter and my jaw drops,

He nods in confirmation, "Yes. Now come on you have to study remember." I snap out of it,

"I didn't come here for anything else." I say in a 'duh' tone,

Leon smirked "We could.."

"No, where do I sit?" I ask quickly cutting him off,

"Over here." he said pointing to a study table by the balcony, and let me tell you the view was amazing. There was a large pool just below it,

"Ok." I took a seat and got my math books out ready to study, along with the worksheets our teacher gives us every lesson,

"Ok, well were doing algebra in class at the moment, so lets start with that." he tells me.

Leon told me how each equation works and waits for me to complete it and tells me if I did it right, which I didn't for any. He explains each like six times and I still needed help, but he explains it again and I eventually got it right. An hour passes and I was packing up my things.

"Thanks for today, I really appreciate you helping me." I tell him with a smile,

"It's nothing really, come by on Monday after school," he pauses and gives me a sad smile, "What happened with Collins today? I heard he yelled at you in the hallway at school or something."

"Again." I whisper, mainly to myself, "Basically what you just said, he was asking what he did wrong for me not talking to him but really I was too disgusted because he... in a closet at school that I just happen to walk past today. If you get what I mean?" I tell him with a raised brow,

"Yea I get it and that's low, I wouldn't even do that, probably behind the sports field but not in the actual..."

"EWW, TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!" I yell, trying to block out what he just told me.

"Just saying," he says, with a smirk,

After that he walked me down to my car and I bid goodbye to Martin on the way, I say bye to Leon and head home.



A fresh new day, and it's Saturday. Just the start of my weekend, my day already planned, I'm going to the animal shelter to adopt a cute little puppy, then I have to go shopping for stuff for tonight and then I have my appointment with Ana, then the sleepover.

I quickly get up and get dressed in a pair of denim shorts that were just above knees and a three quarter blue and white striped shirt with my worn out blue and white converse. Finish my daily routine and head to the animal shelter.



Once I arrive I walk straight to the puppy section and there were so many to choose from and they were soo cute. But it was sad seeing so many animals without homes, but then I spot one pup. She was white with some dark features around her face and she was soo cute, I thought about it and then I decide that she will be mine. I went to the reception and told the lady and show her the pup,

"Oh yes, she's a pekingese and her name is Coco. Very cute that one." the lady smiles, she passes me Coco and I hold her, she felt right with me,

"I'll take her" I say with a smile and the lady smiles back.

We went back to the reception and purchase my Coco and a few things I would need for her like toys, food, leashes and a few other things. I buckle Coco in the car and she looks happy coming home with me.

When I arrive home, I decide to call Ash.

Ring

Ring

"Hello?" asks a girlish voice that sounded nothing like Ash,

"Hey, is Ash around it's his sister." I say politely,

I heard shuffling and talking and heard Ash groan, "What now sis?"

"Hey to you too!!" I say annoyed, I know he's only playing around he's my brother after all.

"Hey, now what's up?"

"No 'I miss you' today." and Coco barks very cutely. I think she was saying hello,

"Was that a bark I just heard?" and he probably raised a brow confused,

"Yea, that's Coco my new baby. Anyways I was wondering if you could go to the shops and get some snacks for tonight. I'm having a sleepover,"

"Sleepover? Did I hear that right, is my sister saying she actually has friends?" he asks playfully,

"Yes, anyway can you buy me some snacks and movies for tonight, come around five- forty five since i have an appointment with Ana at four-thirty."

"Hey! hey! who said I was actually coming?"

"You will, you will do anything for your little sister." I tell him and it was true he would,

"Fine." he grumbles and hung up, he actually hung up on me his sister. Oh well that's one less thing i have to do.



Around four- twenty eight Ana arrives and starts her photo shoot, which only takes about an hour. The studio was already set up before she arrived and when she left it was five- thirty, so I had thirty minutes to play with Coco and clean up a bit. That's when Ash arrive.

"Hey sis," he greets with a smile and pulls me in for a hug,

"Hey bro, this is Coco." I say returning the smile and he pats her,

"Hello Coco." he says in a baby voice,

"Ok, so you can put the stuff in the kitchen. Thanks for going for me by the way." I say following him to the kitchen,

"Anytime," he says and his eyes were brighter than normal meaning only one thing his girlfriend,

"Soo, I'm guessing that was your girlfriend who answered the phone"

"Yep." he replies and I smile at him.

Ash told me things about her while he was here, then the doorbell rang.
