Hopeless Despair by Vanessa (best book club books for discussion .txt) 📕

“Good morning class take out your text books and read chapter ten.” Mr.Fafful said. He was wearing his usual comb over, and big nerdy classes. He wears the same awful bow tie, and his hair is all greasy, and gross. He has never been anyones favorite teacher, and probably never will. He has a tendency to get on everyones last nerves. Especially Buffy’s, they have always hated each other, since the first day of class.
“I really don’t want to.” Buffy said out loud to the whole class and to Mr.Fafful.
“Well to bad! Get reading! Now!” Mr.Fafful yelled.
“Make me you old hag!” Buffy yelled.
“Thats it go to the principles now!”
“Thats it go to the principles now!” Buffy mocked him.
“Go!” Mr.Fafful yelled. Buffy walked to the principle’s office.
“What are you here for this time Buffy?” The principle asked.
“Well fist I said I didn’t want to read something then Mr.Fafful got all up in my face. So that is how I got here.” Buffy explained.
“Ok, Im going to let you off with a warning because you have been out of trouble lately.”
Buffy walked back to class, with a grin on her face. She gave Mr.Fafful an “I told you so look”. Mr.Fafful just about snapped when he saw her walk in.
“What are you doing back?! You should be in detention by now.” Mr.Fafful said.
“I got a warning since I have been good lately.” Buffy said in a mocking way.
“Take a seat!” Mr.Fafful said angrily. He continued with his lesson.

Walking back from school they took a “shortcut” to Emily’s house. The girls were going through bad part of the town. Emily is looking concerned and suddenly said “Where are we going? You said this is a shortcut and I don’t know why, but I let you bring me! Why did I let you Bring me?!”
“Calm down I always come this way.” Buffy said. Emily stopped in front of a dark ally.
“Buffy can I go home now? Please.”
“Yeah thats where we are going.” Emily starts to walk, but before she does someone grabs her out of the ally. Emily screams on top of her lungs, her mouth gets covered by a cloth being shoved into her mouth. Buffy turned and ran after Emily. Buffy’s running as fast as she can catching up to the brutal mugger. Buffy caught up, tackled him, and pinned him against the ground. She starts beating him, trying to get him to talk.
“Whats your issue man?! We were just walking along! You can’t just take my friend and start beating her! What the hell is wrong with you?!” Buffy screams in his face.
He lost conscience, Emily called the police, Buffy is still beating him to a bloody pulp. The police show up, Emily is crying her eyes out because she is so scared, Buffy is trying to calm her down, and apologizing for bringing her here. The police take the un-conscience man in the back of the police car, the car has flashing red and blue lights, the siren is blasting to warn everyone to be careful while driving and driving by. Emily’s mom heard what had happened.
“Emily are you okay?!” Emily’s mom panicked.
“Yeah Im okay.” Emily replied.
“I warned you not to ever go into that part of town! I thought I raised you better than that!” Emily’s mom yelled.
“But Buffy...” Emily froze in mid sentence. Her mother looked at her getting more and more angry.
“I knew that that girl would cause you to do bad things, and get you in trouble!”
“But mom!”
“And another thing, I don’t want you talking, or hanging around with Buffy anymore!” Her mom said angrily.
“Ugggghhhh!” Emily growled as she stormed up to her room. She fell on her bed face down. She didn’t move. Frozen in anger, she started to cry, she sat up. “I can’t believe this! And now I can’t ever talk to Buffy ever again. I can’t believe I gave Buffy up like that. But on the other Buffy did all most get me killed. But she saved me and all most killed the dude who mugged me.” She was saying quietly to herself. As she laid on her bed she wondered over and over again trying to figure what she should do. Hours had gone by. Her mom walked in her room to see how she is doing.
“Are you okay Emily? You’ve been up here for a while.” Her mom said.
“Yeah i’m fine, it’s just...she paused. “I don’t know what I should do. I know you said I should stay away from Buffy, but she saved my life today, and I can’t just abandon her now.” Emily’s mom leaned in a hugged her.
“I know how you feel, but it will get better. And so will Buffy, she can find her way. You led her on her right path, she has a small clue on whats going on in life now.” Emily’s mom said. Her mom got up and left. She stopped at the door and said “Do you want anything to eat?”
“No I’m not hungry. Thanks.” Emily replied.
“Okay but if you get hungry there is leftovers in the fridge.” Her mom left. Emily turned to shut off the lights, and went to sleep.

“Hey Emily, can I ask you something?” Jason asked.
“Y-Yeah go ahead.” Emily said shyly.
“Well, I was wondering if you would like to, you know, um go out with me?” Jason asked. “Yes!, uh um yeah ha ha.” Emily shouted.
“Sweet.” Jason said. Emily and Jason walked to class hand in hand. Emily felt like the most lucky girl in the world. “I can’t believe this! The best thing in the world is happening to me, right after the worst thing. I wonder if its the universe saying they are sorry?” Emily thought to herself. Her and Jason are walking down the hall and they pass Buffy. Emily didn’t even notice her, even when Buffy yelled her name trying to get her attention. Buffy turned and walked away, trying to forget that her best friend had abandoned her. Buffy had left school.

A Few Months Later.....
Emily and Jason are still going strong. Emily brought Jason home for the first time, and her dad had a little man to man talk. He said “So you like my daughter do you now? Well she is my little girl and all ways will be. She is everything to me and her mother. You will give her complete respect, and if you ever do anything to hurt my little girl....” He paused. “Nobody will ever known you have existed. And don’t tell Emily what we have talked about. Do you hear me?” He said finally. Jason shook his head. Emily came down and sees Jason's terrified face. She stares at her father and says “What did you do to him?” Her father smiles and said
“Just making sure he treats you correctly. Now Jason is it? Go on up but remember what I said.” Jason get up and walks over to Emily. Emily moves closer to him, and takes his hand. Her father clears his throat. They turn around, and Jason lets go of her hand. Up in Emily’s room she said “What did my dad say to you?”
“Oh nothing, just that he hopes that we are happy together.” He said shyly.
“Oh okay. Well is that all he said?” Emily said with puppy dog eyes.
“Yeah.” He said looking across the room with a blank expression on his face.Trying to avoid the look she was giving him. “Well....what do you want to do?” Jason asked. Emily thought for a minute. While she thought she was looking around the room trying to find something to do. She started laughing “I have absolutely nothing.” Jason laughed with her. “Do you have any movies? Maybe we could watch one.” Jason asked.
“Yeah they are down in my parents room. I’ll be right back, unless you want to come help me look for one to watch?” She asked hoping that he would come with her. Jason got up as Emily was walking towards the door. Jason grabs her by the shoulder and turns her around towards his face. He then reaches behind her and shuts the door.
“Actually, I have something better to do,” Jason smirks.
He grabs the back of Emily’s neck and kisses her. Emily was a little uneasy at first but then she was more comfortable. Jason backs up for a breath, and Emily is stunned. She is speechless at the kiss. “What did you think about that? Is it to soon or no?” Jason said hoping that she would say that is was just on time or something similar to that. She looks at him, smiles and says “That was amazing! That was....” she stopped.
“What?” Jason said worried.
“If I tell you, you might laugh at me.” Emily said sadly. Looking away from him. Jason tilts her head so she is looking at him, and says “Your my girlfriend and I all ways want to her what you have to say.” He said with a smile. Emily smiles, glances at the floor, and looks back up to Jason and says slowly. “That kiss...was..well my...first one and out of every boy in the world i’m glad it was with you.” She smiles a little embarrassed. Jason looks at her and smiles, like he is relieved. Emily looks at him, and frowns. “Whats wrong? I knew telling you that would make you do that I--”
“Whoa-whoa, hold on a minute, can I tell you something?” Jason says. Emily nods her head. “Well your my first kiss to. I all ways liked you. Since I moved here in 7th grade. I waited and when I got the guts I asked. It only took five years for me to get up the courage to ask you.” he laughed. Emily is blushing like she has never before. She is embarrassed and hides her face. Jason takes her hands away from her face and says “Don’t hide you face, its to beautiful to hide.” He say smiling. Then they stand there in front of the door, hugging. Her mom walks up the stairs and and peeks through the door, and smiles. She walks back down stairs, and starts fixing lunch for Jason and Emily. She calls them down for lunch and asked what they were doing.
“Oh nothing much, just talking, and hanging out, you know the usual.” Emily replies with a smile on her face. “Mmm lunch, what are we having?” Emily asks.
“We are having Mac & cheese, with turkey sandwiches.” Emily’s mom answered. After Jason and Emily ate their lunch they headed back up to Emily’s room.
