We all wound up leaving school in a funk, but I faked it. I was actually very happy about this turn of events. This gave me the opportunity to be closer to Emma. I was excited for Saturday. Sh!t. It's tomorrow. I am becoming happier and happier until I realize Tammy is still in such a horrible mood that I just do not want to be around her anymore. All she can talk about is how unfair it was to be in Saturday school and we are the elite and we shouldn't have to stoop as low as any other student because of our status. God the girl can go on and on. We decide to get to her house and prepare for the damn party and Tammy now starts yapping about Emma.
"If that teachers pet dares enter this f!cking house I will pull her by the hair and throw her out like the trash she is." God, she can be a real b!tch. What the hell did I ever see in the girl? Allison decides to chime in while hanging in the back of my car with Noah.
"You do realize that Emma is Kevin's sister, right? You know the QB you put this whole damn party together for?" Tammy scowls and gives her the middle finger.
"So? Probably even her own brother can't stand her." I doubt that very much. He seems like the kind of brother that will drop everything to run to his sister's defense. Tammy gets out of my car and walks away all annoyed and I let out the breath out I didn't know I was holding. Hearing her insult Emma stirs something inside of me. I have never really given a damn before so why now? Because you like her. You always have moron.
It angers me to hear her talk about Emma like this but I don't say anything. If I am trying so hard to be around her more then why can't I defend her? Allison, Noah and I just listen to her rant and rave about Emma and by the time she shut the hell up, I have a nasty headache. I decide to leave her to herself and her stupid ass thoughts. If I have to hear another word about Saturday school or Emma I will lose my sh!t and ditch this stupid f!cking party. It is not like I even want to be there anyway.
It is eight o'clock and the party is starting to get busier so I find a place to chill and watch as more people start to arrive. How many people did this girl invite? Oh well, her house, her cleanup, or should I say the staffs cleanup. I feel bad for them. I look around to see if I see Allison and Noah but they are nowhere in sight and I wonder where they could have gone. They always sneak away together so chances are maybe they are together? That would be cool because they have always gotten along. I begin to lose my train of thought when I see Kevin entering the house saying hi to some people by the door and with Emma right behind him.
Emma is beautiful and has this aura to her that is undeniably sexy. I can't help but stare at her flawlessness. Her hair is straightened and she is actually wearing a hint of makeup. Emma has never worn makeup before. Honestly, she doesn't need to. She is beautiful either way. She looks so different that am captivated. She is wearing a short black skirt that shows off her incredible legs. What is wrong with me right now? I am really infatuated with this girl. I don't even know what is going on until Kevins yelling snaps me out of my daydream.
"Remember that plus one I was talking about? She is my sister Tammy. I am sick of the name calling and the acting all superior to her. Who the f!ck do you think you are? You are nothing. How does it feel, huh, to be called nothing? If I want her here which I do, that means you cannot say crap about it. I will take My team and My sister, and whoever else wants to come with us, out of here so fast that you'll be left with nothing but yourself and your asshole friends, because like you said this party is for Us not You so back the f!ck off my sister and this is your one and only warning!" I watch as Tammys face falters and Kevin just stands there all Hulk like.
"Oh and one more thing Tammy. Stop trying to hard to get with me. I don't go for Elijah's sloppy seconds." Tammy's eyes are filled with tears and I glare at Kevin. I don't care about what he said, I just don't need him getting me involved. F!cker.
This was the actual first time I had ever heard Kevin yell that I am completely dumbfounded. I manage to get Tammy away and immediately lock eyes with Emma. I admire how Kevin stood up for his sister. I knew he was just that type of guy. I'm glad she has support and I hate myself for allowing this to continuously happen.
I was a pr!ck of a kid back then but now that I am getting older I see how much of an affect I had on her and how all our ridicule shaped her school years. We were always breaking her down every day but there she was standing proud and tall. She did not have a care in the world and I was sort of glad. I am holding onto Tammy who is just as shocked as I am because her boy toy had yelled at her in front of everyone and we are now making our way through the party.
I lose track of her when she yanks her hand out of my grip and I really don't care. All she does is complain, but now she must feel like sh!t so I leave her alone. As long as she isn't near Emma I feel better. Short time later I am scanning the party to see if Emma is still around but I can't find her anywhere. Did she leave? Did Tammy get a hold of her? Damnit, I can't let that happen because Tammy is a force to be reckoned with but then I hear laughter.
It is beautiful laughter and when I find the source of it, my heart drops. It is coming from Emma in the backyard. She is laughing with Allison and Noah. Allison and Noah? Why were they talking to her? I want to get a better picture and I notice that Noah is sitting oddly close to her. He is right next to Emma almost leg to leg and it looks like at any moment they could basically sit on top of each other.
My blood is starting to boil but I have to remain calm. Who am I to say who goes near her? I always thought Allison and Noah were a thing? Whats going on? Does Noah like Emma? I mean who wouldn't like Emma? Of course she will start getting closer to Noah and now that she has to tutor us she'll see Noah even more. Noah has this good guy charming affect on the girls. He's the nice guy of our group. A stark contrast between me and him.
I'm really starting to get mad now because deep down, I know she would choose him, or someone like him because he never said anything to make her frown or make her sad. That was always me and Tammy. I always made her frown. I wish I could make her laugh like Noah did just now. She is even more beautiful now that the moonlight is shining against her long silky hair. I didn't even realize that I was staring until I caught her eyes staring right back at me, as if she could see right through my soul. I stand there frozen for a moment because her eyes have melted me to the core but when I will myself to snap out of it, all I could do is walk away.
