Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV : 

"Will you marry me?"his words were ringing in my ear.

I was watching his expression, making sure that this was real and that he wasn't joking.

When I realized that this was, in fact, very real indeed, I asked him, "lan, what are you doing?"

He looked up at me with a puzzled look and said, "I'm asking you to marry me,"

He said it as if it was the most natural thing in the world.Like it was so obvious.

That made me flinch and I pulled my hand away in response.

"lan, you're the one that broke up with me,"

I stated matter-of-factly.

"You made me believe everything was over, and here I was, saying my goodbyes to you, and all of a sudden you asked me to marry you?"

"Yeah,"he said simply.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

I almost shouted.

"I know it’s sudden, but I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.We don’t have to get married right away, it’s more of a symbolic thing,"he tried to explain, but his explanation made no sense to me.

"What in the effing hell, lan?"I yelled.

"What?"

he got up to his feet and an irritated look was splashed across his face.

"Are you bipolar or something? What is this? What in the hell is going on?"

I was absolutely thrown off course.

I felt like I was being Punk'd and Ashton Kutcher would pop out with a camera from behind the couch.

"Do you not wanna marry me?"he spat.

"What?"

"Are you in love with someone else? That kid Tyler?"

"What?!"my voice was seriously high pitched this time.

"Is that why you’re hesitating?"he asked again.

"lan, please stop talking,"I said with both hands raised in the air.

"Tyler has nothing to do with this.

You can’t keep doing things like this to me, okay? You broke up with me, you were the one that left me and said we weren't gonna work out, but now all of a sudden, this?"

"Emma...I..."that struck a chord in him, he couldn't bring himself to continue.

"Oh my God, lan! You're so dumb, you're doing it all wrong!"suddenly we heard a voice coming from the bedroom.

I whipped my head around and a familiar looking girl was standing at the doorframe.

"Hailey?"I gasped.

"Hailey, what the hell? I thought you left!" lan yelled.

"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" I said again.
