Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 17: Comeback Kid 

EMMaA’s POV : 

"Can't believe it’s already thanksgiving break.Junior year's going by so fast,"

Tiff sighed dramatically as we made our way to the parking lot.

"I Know right.Next thing you know, boom, college applications,"Mark added.

"Please don't say college applications.We don't have to deal with that for another year,"Carrie responded.

"Yeah, guys.Let's not get ahead of ourselves.It's Thanksgiving break, let’s just take it easy,"

I said and all my friends turned their heads on me.

"You've been surprisingly chill.I like this new you, so very Zen,"

Tiff narrowed her eyes at me playfully.

"I'm just grateful, you know.I have amazing friends, I have a great life, and school is actually kinda fun..."

The past couple of weeks had been amazing.lan and I were doing great.Even though he said he never did relationships before, I couldn't tell.He was being such a great boyfriend.

I saw him every day during lunch where I'd be working on my art portfolio in the art room, and after school I’d go to his apartment after swim or cheerleading practice.

Spending time with lan was always fun.He had an amazing taste in movies and he was showing all the old classics.

Sometimes we'd play games on his PlayStation or cook dinner together.

And don’t get me started on our after-hour activities.  Being with him, I had never felt more alive! : "Whoa, who are you and what have you done to our Emma?"

Carrie narrowed her eyes at me this time.

"What can I say?"

I shrugged casually, "I like school,"

"Oh my god, you're not turning into a nerd are you?"

"Oh, please—"

"Emma!"

A familiar voice called my name and I was certain it must be a mistake, because it sounded like Zach.

 My friends and I stopped our tracks and we turned around to see Zach, my ex-boyfriend, standing in our school parking lot.

"Is that Zach?"Tiff gaped.

"What the hell is he doing here?"Carrie asked.

Zach cafne running at us.

He was wearing his Emory sweatshirt and sweatpants.

He was waving his hand and smiling at us like we were all old friends or something.

I mean, we were.But not anymore.

"Hey guys,"he said to everyone, but all my friends remained silent and cold.

"Emma, hi,"his eyes zeroed in on me.

"What are you doing here, Zach?"I asked point-blankly.

"You don't take my calls, you never respond to my texts...I came back for thankgiving break.I just want to see you,"

"Well, I don’t want to see you,"

I snapped quickly.

"Come on, Em.Please, I just want to talk.Just give me five minutes,"he pleaded.

"She said she doesn't wanna see you, douche-face,"Tiff shot daggers at him, ready to attack the moment I gave her clearance.

"It's okay, Tiff.I got this,"

I said to her and I turned my face Pack to Zach, "You have five minutes,"

"Okay, but can we please talk alone?"he eyed my friends nervously as they were giving him death glares.

"Fine,"
