Undeniable Love For The Bad Boy

Chapter 2 EMMAS POV

The day flies by fast and Melanie and I feel almost confident that we passed our math test. It is almost Christmas vacation and report cards are going to come out soon so we need to do our very best. Junior year is when grades count towards our college applications, and we both want to graduate and go to the same college. We have been researching the same colleges and whichever one accepts us together, then that is where we are going to go, regardless what state it is in.

We have had this pact since JHS. We would graduate HS, attend the same college, be college roomies and live life to the fullest as adults. We would write new chapters of our lives together. We really are crazy but we are yin and yang so we cannot part from each other.

After school, I head home and eat with my family our usual nightly dinner, talking about our day and so on. Afterwards, I go to my room set on a mission. I do all the assignments given and then start on a project that isn't due till after vacation but I'm in the mood to get things over with. Why do work over the vacation even though I'm probably going to be doing nothing?Like usual. Parents are all tied up with work lately but at least they know how to take a moment and give us awesome holiday memories.

Mom and dad love Christmas and always go overboard with decorations. They might not buy us super expensive gifts but whatever we get, it is all from the heart and we are always grateful. Kev and I always appreciate what we are given. This weekend, hopefully, we can help decorate the tree. I love decorating our tree. Mom has kept all the ornaments that Kevin and I made as kids during our elementary school years, and we always laugh at the memories.

As I get ready to call it a night, I check my Instagram account to browse through peoples daily nonsense that seems to amuse me when I happen to see The Quads of Torment's latest post. Tammy is the head of this account and of course I am nosy. They are apparently having a party Friday night in honor of my brothers teams winning streak. Like I said, the team is going all out this year winning game after game. The senior's want to leave the school with a bang of wins, so Kevin has been trying his hardest to lead a good season. The team respects him so much and they play like they have one mind on the field. It is absolutely extraordinary.

The Quads of Torment are only doing this because Tammy has the hots for my brother. She probably is being turned down by Elijah now so her need for Kevin has heightened. It is vomit inducing to think about Kevin ever being with Tammy. I despise that girl. It is the funniest thing though because if you look real closely, you can almost see the drool on the sides of her mouth when she sees Kevin walking in the hallway. She tries super hard to catch his attention when Elijah ignores her. I laugh inwardly and hope my brother will never give her the time of day. I really hope he sees the true person she is- an evil conniving b!tch. I do not curse much, but when it comes to her, I have a selection of very choice words for her. One day, maybe I'll share them when I've felt my patience hit the fan. Maybe.

Of course, when I look at the entry, Tammy makes a jab at me and writes in big words, and mind you also in bold lettering "NO LOSERS AKA TEACHERS PETS ALLOWED" Can't you just feel the love? Thanks for that you guys. Not that I even cared about any stupid party but I have to since it is for my brother and his team. I close out my app and then hear a knock on my door. Kevin then pops his head in.

"Hey sis, I just seen the post about the party on the sh!theads Instagram. I do not give two craps what they say. You are my sister and I will bring you with me personally whether they like it or not. Let them try to say something about it to me. They might've thought to throw me and my team a party, even though its all for show because Tammy wants me, but nobody denies my sister." I laugh whole heartedly while also trying so hard not to vomit at the mention of Tammy.

"Kev I swear to god please do not fall for Tammy. You are better than that! Please, do not even give her a chance. I will gouge my eyes out and disown you as my brother!" He laughs at my pleading.

"Tammy will never have me because I happen to have eyes for someone else. Tammy's been with Elijah anyway. Don't need to get between them. Hate that guy just as much as their little group." The words Kev said about Elijah being with Tammy depresses me for some strange reason. I shake my head of the thought of them together sexually.

I begin to wonder who Kev is talking about liking and mentally remind myself to pay closer attention because I am just too damn nosy. I run to hug Kev and he squeezes me a little to tight and I am tapping on his back to let me go. When he does he decides to ruffle my hair like a little child and I kick him. We are a weird brother and sister duo. Even though we are a year apart we simply cannot stop bothering each other. I bother him, he bothers me, but if someone else bothers us we go into attack mode and always have each others backs. I can always count on him, just like he can forever count on me.

After messing my hair and making me look like I have bed head, he laughs and leaves. I go to bed thinking about the Quads Torment, and how it is possible for them to keep treating people like this but minutes later I enter dreamworld.

Next morning, Kev drives me to school and when we get there the Quads of Torment are by the entrance again. Noah and Allison are talking to one another, Elijah just stares at us but for some reason more at me and Tammy runs to Kevin.

"Hi handsome! Did you see our post about the party? Can't wait to have you there. You are coming right? Maybe we can have some alone time." She is touchy feely with him and I cringe.

"Yeah I'll be there. Sorry Tammy, already got a plus one." Tammy's smile fades away and she glares daggers at me.

"What are you looking at nerd?" I am about to speak when Elijah pulls her away. Kevin glares at them before heading into school and I follow suit. I can feel Elijahs eyes on me as I walk to my locker and in the corner of my eye he is standing not too far away. I feel a chill run down my spine. I grab everything I need from my locker and head over to Mel. She looks at me warily.

"What's wrong?"

"I might be going crazy but, is Elijah staring at me?" She looks his way slowly to try and not show what she is doing and looks back to me.

"Yeah. Thats weird. Stay by me. He is being freaky right now."

"Ok let's get to class." I put my arm through Mel's and I turn to look at Elijah and see he is still just standing there watching me. Why?

I share a few classes with that douchebag throughout the day and during all of them I could feel his eyes on me. It is like a burning feeling and I, for some strange reason, like it.

Mel and I head to lunch and when I head towards the vending machine, Elijah is right on my heels, behind me. I turn around and suddenly feel a wave of bravery course through me.

"Can I help you with something?" I stand there with my arms crossed on my chest.

"Am I not allowed to get something from the vending machine?"

"In any other situation, yes. But today, what's up with you? You have been eyeing me all day. Is it because of the party?"

"Not sure what you are talking about, but, if you don't mind, I am going to get myself a snack." He beats me to the machine and I huff in annoyance.

"You can't just skip me." He puts the money in the machine and punches in the number he wants. I decide to grab whatever he got out of the bin, regardless of what it was.

"Thanks for the snack Elijah. Quit starring at me. I haven't existed in your world for a long time. Stop noticing me now." He begins to say something but I just shove past him and walk back to where Mel is waiting for me. Of course she holds the middle finger up to him and we go to find a table.

"What the hell was that all about?" Mel asks more concerned than anything.

"Jerk being a jerk. Took his snack. Serves him right for cutting the line." I turn around to see Elijah unmoved.

"Hah! Good one." We seek ourselves a table to sit at and begin to eat out lunch. I break open the snack I grabbed from the devil incarnate. Dispy Doodles. Hmm...never pegged him for a Dipsy Doodle fan. I decide to be brave again and turn to see he is at a table not too far away with his entourage. I will him to look at me and when he does, I plop a chip into my mouth and smile.

What the hell am I doing?!
