Emily by erin diane (top novels of all time TXT) 📕

I am walking going back to my house. It was a long evening I can still hear the loud music coming through my ex- girlfriend’s birthday party, Amy even I’m already in the second road. I look up and I don’t know everything seems so dark like the sky. I wanted to be better but something is stopping me, right now this life is full of bad shit. Why? First my bull shit parents left me in my grandparents and of course I don’t know why? Still I’m one hell lucky because grandma and grandpa were so good to me. Second school, I hate it even I’m the hottest, bad boy in school and all the girls are lining up just to see me every morning it still a fuck. What’s the use of that anyway? What I wanted is to have a private life with my friends is that hard? Last in my list what I hated the most is college, Yes it is! I don’t care in my future anyway. What’s the difference going to college or not if my life is already a shit one. I drank my beer in my hand to forget all this things.

“Whoa!!!”  I shouted. I’m 18 I’m strong, healthy and importantly good. It doesn’t matter what happen to me all I know as long as I’m living and happy I’ll live for the rest of my life.

This will be my last week of vacation. Next week I will be going back to my hell life yes to that school. What’s the name? I forgot already anyway, it just 10 months right.

I reach my house safely and run through my bedroom. Finally! Lying in bed is the best thing I done in my bed. I look at the clock and it’s already 3:30 am. “Good morning Marcus!”  I greeted myself, inch by inch heavy fogs coming through my eyes until I couldn’t see anything.

Vacation was over not long enough to enjoy my time unlike wasting minutes in school. I park my car and run through my friends. Near in the entrance Billy, Ned, Zack together with his girlfriend Janine and Amy my ex. Billy and I done our usual handshake, he’s the closest friend I have ever since grade 5.

“So, what’s new bro?” Billy asked

“Nah…” I said. All of us began to laugh, Zack making funny expressions adds on the fun.

“Really?” Ned asked

“Bro, look I think you’re just waiting for another girl to be fuck up.” Zack added. Amy scowled at Zack that made me laugh very hard.

I look at my watch and it’s already time for my class. “Guys I have to go now and Amy stop glaring Zack were over, right.” I said. Amy’s was surprised what I had just said and I leaved.

While I walk to the corridors something caught my attention. She was wearing an old cream sweater with long nanny dress like my grandma’s, black shoes with white socks and tied brunette hair. She’s new I guess. I look at her face and whoa! It so beautiful, that's unpredictable I walk towards her to meet her.

“Hi! Are you lost? I can help you.” I asked

“Am, no it’s alright I’m good thanks.” She said.

Those green eyes were so mesmerizing, when I stared at it I can feel hope? No, this girl everything is new? I can see her lips moving but I couldn’t understand was it saying something, those lips look so soft. Then before I know it, she was leaving already. I need to get her name but when I tried to follow her she was already gone. Who is she? I glance at my watch and I’m already late. ”Shit!” I run as hard as I can but I was smiling and remembering the new girl’s face.

It was lunch time already, I went to the same spot and as I expected my friends were already there. Zack and Janine were kissing as the usual, Ned and Billy were laughing then Amy chit chatting to a girl next to our table. I walk towards them and give a wave, Amy’s face brightens up then it becomes red. What’s the matter on this girl? I don’t know.

“So how’s first period?” Amy asked me.

“Good, still the same old boring science, math and history and whatever.” I said

“Do you hear the news, there’s a new girl in here. They said she was the daughter of the new teacher in here Mr. Jackson.” Ned said

“Oh, yeah… I heard that she’s beautiful they said but she’s like a nun not a student.” Billy added and began to laugh.

Then I remembered, yes that one who caught my eye. Right now I’m thinking her and as I can see, she is standing in front of the door with her book.

“Is that her?” Ned asked

“Yeah…” I said

She walks towards to the center table or the rejected area as we called it. She sat there bringing out her lunch then continued to read. I stared at her until Janine noticed what was I dong.

“Hey! You might melt her.” She teased

“Ah… sorry Amy, looks like Marcus found a new girl you’re totally thrown up.” Zack added

“Shut up Zack! Janine stop it, Marcus will not like that girl.” Amy scowled

The couple began to laugh anyway, I don’t care anyway. I stand up in my sit and walk near her staring at her angelic face. She didn’t bother to look up or stop reading at that damn book of hers. Everything was so quiet I look at her waiting for her to notice me.

“Aren’t you going to sit? You can be tired on what you doing” she said while reading.

I sat beside her, “Thanks.”  I look back to see my friends reaction and as I can see they were giving me all thumbs up while as the Amy glaring at me or otherwise questioning me. “What are you reading?” I asked so that it won’t be boring here and hoping we could start a conversation.

“Tuck’s Everlasting, by Natalie Babbit. Why?” She said. she take a sip of her soya milk then goes back to her book.

“Nothing… I’m just wondering.” I said. I was surprised when she smiled, it was so breath-taking. “Can I know you’re name?” I asked.

She stops reading and looked at me. Her expression was blank or should I say unreadable. Did I say something offending? Silence occurred between us, she looked at her watch before she speak.

“Umm… I have to go I’m late in my class, sorry.” she said. She stood up in her sit and packing her things. I was staring at her then I observed she’s so pale like no color. When she was finish she left while I was left hanging. Weird, but at least I saw her smile then before I know it I was making small chuckles already.

 I replay all the things that happened yesterday in my mind, I can’t stop worrying about it. Ned told me that everything will be okay but I don’t know. When I look at her there is something different at her she’s not like other girls particularly in her dressing style but what I mean is something bright is in her.

I can’t stop thinking her until I bumped someone who’s this stupid person “Damn it!” I shouted. I look at it and it was her, all the things she was carrying I think was in the floor. She stared at me blankly and I don’t know what’s in her mind.

“Sorry…”She said, she pick up her things while I staring at her. She was wearing a green jumping suit same style hair do and in ballet shoes. I help her because I’m so embarrass, this is the first time I’m feel like this in front of a girl. While my mind was floating I heard a soft chuckle coming from her? What’s this? Is she laughing at me? I gave a questioning look and asking for an answer.

“Sorry. I just couldn’t stop.” She said still laughing, I found myself joining her. It feels good when I’m talking to her it so refreshing. We finished gathering her things in the floor. “Thank you.” She said afterwards then she smiled at me.

“You’re welcome.” I said absently my mind still floating in the air because of her smile. She waved her hand while I returning the gesture. Shit! I forgot to get her name for the third time. “Damn it!” I look down kicking the floor because of frustration.

I heard someone was shouting a female voice, I look up and it was her. “It’s Emily, Emilia Jackson!” while smiling at me. “Marcus, Marcus Lanther!” I returned back then she was gone. So it’s Emily, an innocent name perfect for her. Now, I’m relieved this will be a good day. I shrugged my shoulders then left the gym.

“So bro, did you finally get her name?” Ned asked me while we were in the party. It was Zack’s birthday the man was already 19 old is it?

“Yeah!” I raised my glass containing beer. Then I smiled at myself replaying all what happened that afternoon. Everything was so colorful loud music, noisy people and etc. I glanced and saw Zack and Janine kissing in the bar stool. “Get a room!” I shouted at them. They stop kissing then both of them laugh, “Asshole!” Zack returned. I gave a wave then return my attention back to Ned.

“You’re the men! So, what now?” he yelled

“I don’t know!” I shouted, “She’s different bro, not like other girls.” I added

“That’s new!”  He teased,

I shrug my shoulders then we both laugh, “Happy birthday Zack!” Ned shouted “And to you my good friend I hope you will know what you’re going to do. Cheers!” he added.

“Cheers!” I joined him, we drank our beer until the last drop.

I went home not that drunk, I can still clearly see the roads somehow. While driving my car I saw Emily walking through the small forest of our city. I stop the car, go down and follow her. This is new even we were in the forest it’s not really that dark maybe because of the light given by the moon and the stars. I follow her until we reach a bared place.

The place was so bright because of the light surrounded by the trees. I can hear
