Emma's POV

''wake up, Emma!!'' screamed someone from next to me. i shrieked in surprise waking up from my sleep. Abby next to me sighed and gave me an apologetic look, after receiving her glare from me.

''you have three seconds to tell me why the hell are you waking me up early in the freaking weekend!'' i shouted as i laid back onto the bed.

''early? Emma it's 2 pm, and i came here today to hangout of course,'' she scoffed getting up from the bed.

''get out of the room, Abbs, if you don't want to lose this friendship now,'' i yawned and snuggled into my pillow. she stomped her legs loudly, ans started shaking me. ''get off of me!''

''come on! I'm gonna give you your clothes,'' she said and jogged to the closet. she picked up a black t-shirt that has the word NEW YORK on it, and a black ripped jeans. she threw them at me, and stood grinning.

''why do you really wanna hangout like that?'' i asked shooting her a suspicious look. she is acting totally weird since the party. when we left she started blabbering about how drunk she was, that she didn't even notice herself kissing Levi. a kid would have noticed the bullshit she was throwing at me, but i decided to drop it.

''i feel like...w-we haven't done that in a very long time!'' she said rubbing her shoulder. liar liar pants on fire!

''didn't we yesterday?'' i asked narrowing my eyes at her. she chuckled nervously, and went to choose my sneakers.

''come on, Emms. i am waiting outside.'' she said not meeting my eyes, and quickly got out. i raked my hands on my face in frustration and got up anyways. i took a shower, which is weird because i usually take my showers before i sleep, and then got dressed. i descended the stairs, and found Abby in a new outfit. breathtakingly outfit, i might add. she was wearing an off-white colored dress that has a cloth belt-reaching her mid thigh.

''you are acting weird today, but i am gonna let it pass cause am hungry,'' i said sitting on one of the kitchen stools. ''mum, is there any pancakes left?''

''uhm, yes honey in the oven.''

''well actually, Scarlet, we are kinda busy, so we will eat in a cafe nearby or something,'' Abby said as she pushed me off the stool gently.

''what the hell is wrong with you? I'm hungry!'' i shouted angrily at her, but she chose to ignore me still pushing me towards the door. when we finally got out, i crossed my hands looking at her angrily.

''let's go to a cafe, shall we?'' she grinned and continued walking in front of me. i scoffed in annoyance, and followed her like the idiot i am. when we were in front of the cafe, i noticed how nervous she got in a matter of seconds. i looked at her suspiciously trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with her.

''i am hungry! can we go inside already?'' i more of like said and entered not waiting for her answer. i was starving, and i needed some coffee to booze me up. once i entered, my eyes roamed the place desperately trying to find an empty table, but what my eyes spotted was shocking. Noah and Levi were sitting together on a table. my eyes went wide as i quickly got out of the place. Abby was still standing there rooted to her place, but her eyes were on Noah and Levi.

''let's go to another place, Noah and Levi are there,'' i explained. she looked at me with nervousness, and then chuckled.

DO NOT TELL ME!

''well, i-i uhmm, sort of knew this beforehand. it's uhm a date? and i was too shy so i suggested to bring you along, and that he would bring Noah, and i agreed since i know you like Noah, right?''

''I LIKE NOAH?!'' i asked her in total shock. she totally manipulated me, this little devil. ''i am not going inside what so ever!''

''please Emma, i really like Levi, you know, and i would like to give it a chance. you just sit there on another table, but i will feel comfortable and relaxed when you are there, plus you don't really need to talk to Noah,'' she pleaded. my eyes softened and i already knew i would do anything to make her happy.

''of course i don't have to talk to that bull! he is arrogant, self centered, and...arrogant! '' i said in anger. Abbs was glaring at me as if warning me, and doing some weird patterns with her eyes. i gave her a confused look, but stood still like a status when a very familiar voice talked.

''arrogant, self centered, and...arrogant? cool, i never knew i was this amazing,'' Noah said, and i could sense that stupid smirk on his face. i turned around slowly, and blinked my eyes on how close he was.

''let's go, Abby? i already took a table,'' Levi cut Noah off, taking Abby with him inside. i gave Noah one look, and quickly trailed after them inside the cafe. i sat down on a table nearby them, and took a look on the menu. Noah took a seat in front of me, and it took everything in me to try and ignore his gaze on me.

''decided?'' he asked taking the menu from my hand.

''yes,'' i said standing up making my way to the barista to order. ''hey, i would like a blueberry cheesecake, a small vanilla muffin, 2 chocolate cookies, and a large iced coffee,'' i said giving the girl my sweetest smile. she smiled back and started getting my order, she gave me the receipt. and when i was digging in my pocket to get the money, i felt a presence next to me. Noah was handing her a 20 dollars.

''keep the change,'' he said, and looked back at me.

''i could have paid for my own food,'' i said through gritted teeth, but he just shook his head, and took the order from the girl, and went back to the table. i took a deep breath trying not to commit a murder, and brought my legs back to the table.

''i didn't know a girl would eat this much,'' he said with an amused look. rolling my eyes, i sat down slowly.

''what? girls gotta eat,'' i shrugged my shoulders, and dug into my cheesecake. i looked up with a stuffed mouth and found Noah watching my every move. i swallowed quickly, and cleared my throat.

''eat with me, you already paid for the order,'' i said taking a sip from the iced coffee.

''no i am not hungry, thank you,'' he smiled still watching as if he is watching the most interesting thing ever.

''suit yourself,'' i shrugged taking a cookie into my mouth.

''did that Asher boy call you?'' he asked talking serious all so suddenly.

''who is Asher?'' i asked biting from my muffin.

''the boy from the party,'' he cleared out. i shook my head dismissively.

''what is your deal with him anyways?'' he questioned giving me a curious/angry look.

''and may i say, that it's not your business,'' i retorted back giving him an emotionless look. he clenched his teeth, and got closer to me, with his hands on the table.

''if that's not my business, then what is?'' he asked in a whisper. i got a little angry at what he said, and did the same-getting closer to him with my hands on the table.

''i don't know. maybe, your girlfriend's business will be more convenient,'' i smiled annoyingly, and laid back on my chair sipping my coffee. he raked a hand through his hair, and locked eyes with me.

''what girlfriend are you talking about?'' he asked irritated. i looked at him in total shock, and laughed at his face.

''what girlfriend? how many do you have then?'' i snapped stuffing my mouth with a cookie.

''how many? can i say none!'' he said raising his voice a bit. i glared at him, and scoffed loudly. why is he lying to my face?!

''you know what? i can not stand you lying to my face. plus, Abby looks totally fine to me on her own,'' i said as i stood up from my chair, and walked out of the cafe. i was about to cross the street, but a hand on my arm stopped me.

''where do you think you're going?'' he asked angrily. i snatched my arm from his grip, and placed my hands on my hip.

''away from you!''

''stop being childish, and let's get back inside, Emma,'' he said, my name rolling off his tongue perfectly. i scolded myself at such thought, and continued glaring at him.

''am i the one being childish here?! just let me go, and they won't even notice,'' i rolled my eyes, and turned to leave, but once again-his hand stopped me.

''leave me!'' i shouted but his hands only tightened. i was struggling to get myself out of his hold, and he was not giving up.

''let's go inside!'' he shouted making me fight for dominance even more. while i was struggling to get away from him, my foot slipped on the mud underneath me, forcing me to take my support on him. taking him by surprise, we both ended on the ground-muddy ground.

''see?! this is all your fault!'' i screamed at him as my pants were totally soaked in mud now. he looked at me with wide eyes, his white t-shirt turning black.

''me?! you are the one being childish here, if you haven't notice!'' he snapped trying to get up. i pushed him by my leg, sending him back on his butt. i giggled, while he was giving me his scariest glare-that didn't work by the way.

''what? why did you fall back?'' i asked innocently trying to stand up, but his hands brought me down again, but on his lap.

''let me go!'' i struggled to get out of his hold, as i was very, very uncomfortable sitting like that on his lap.

''never,'' he whispered huskily in my ear, sending a pleasuring shiver down my spine.

''OH MY GOD!'' screamed a voice that sounded a lot like Abby. i turned around to see her standing with Levi. the both of them had a shocked expression glued to their faces. not only that, but there was actually a crowd of people watching the scene. i looked back towards Noah, who was having a smug face plastered on his face. he quickly pecked my cheek, making my eyes go wide.

DID HE JUST KISS MY CHEEK?!

i quickly stood up from his lap, leaving him chuckling. i looked at Abby and she was giving me a smirk.

OH SHIT...

''i need to go home, obviously!'' i snapped at her, and she started laughing. i rolled my eyes, and tried to clean myself a bit from the mud. people were still looking at us, as if we were some animals, that escaped the circus.

''i think so too, let's get you both cleaned,'' Levi said shaking his head trying not to laugh. Noah stood up from his position giving me a side glance as we all started walking.

''i will go home alone of course. i don't want Lucas and Logan going all crazy on me.'' i quickly said, once i saw my house from the distance. not waiting for their answer, i jogged till i reached the door. i knocked furiously, and dad opened the door. he took in my appearance, his eyes twitching with amusement. i rolled my eyes, and pushed past him trying to enter my room without being seen from the devils.

''oh my freaking god! is that my best day ever?!'' Logan screamed sarcastically, bringing out his phone starting a video.

''shut this thing off, Logan or i swear i will hit you with all my will!'' i threatened taking off my shoes.

''what the hell?!'' Lucas came in rushing once he saw me.

''don't ask...'' i said trying to get up the stairs without falling.

''look at that booty!'' Logan winked still filming me. i quickly went back to my shoes, and took one of them and threw it at him, knocking his phone down to the ground.

''hey! mum is gonna kill you!'' he pointed towards the mud that splashed from the shoe. i ignored him, and ascended the stairs to my room.
