Chapter 4: Best News Ever

I had lunch with Katie and then had Gym. Katie and I went to the girls changing room because we know that we would take forever to get changed. I changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top. I tied my hair up into a pony tail and took off the jewelery that I needed to. I went into the gymnasium and talked to the gym teacher. She told me that we were going to play volleyball and asked if I knew the basics. I told her that I did and she told me that it was okay so I went back into the changing room and waited for Katie to finish. She was tying her hair up. Once she finished we went into the gymnasium and sat on a bench.

After about 5-10 minutes, a girl with blonde hair walked in. She had two other girls walking behind her. The three of them walked over to the gym teacher with sad faces. I saw the teacher nod her head and then the three girls started heading towards us. The first blonde haired girl had long blond hair and a nice body with flawless skin. As she walked closer, I saw that she had blue eyes. The two girls behind her also had blond hair but their hair was straight and flat, the opposite of the first girl. She was probably the popular girl of the school, who thinks she's better than everyone else and all. They were walking up to us.

“Hello, Katherine. It's always nice to see you.”the first blonde girl said sarcastically.

“Go away and don't call me Katherine.” Katie snarled.

“O.M.G. Is that you?!” the blonde hair girl yelled looking towards me. “Emma! It's me!”

“Tay?” I said.

“Yeah!” she yelled and gave a hug. God, I didn't even recognise her. She has changed so much. She used to have short messy hair and wore whatever she found in her closet. But now, she was completely different. Dressed completely different, haircut and hairstyle completely different, talked completely different.

“You've...uh, changed.” I said.

“Hell yeah, and so have you!” she said. “You look... hot! I missed you! So, me and my girls...” she started saying and turned around to show me what she meant by 'my girls' (the two blondes who were behind her), “are skipping Gym today. Wanna join? We're gonna watch the guys play football!” she whispered the last part to me. I would actually love watching the guys play football. Jordan and Jake, on the field, all sweaty but still really hot.

“Yeah, sure.” I said but then Katie nudged me and whispered a 'What the hell!' to me. I looked at Katie and then back at Taylor. “Can Katie come?” I asked.

“Hell no.” Taylor answered right away without hesitation.

“Well I didn't want to come anyway!” Katie said. I glanced at Katie and then said,

“If Katie doesn't come then I won't come.” but I really wanted to come!

“Ugh, okay. Katherine may come.” Taylor said annoyed. “Come on.” Taylor said and walked out of the gymnasium. But the problem was that Katie and I were dressed in our gym clothes.

“Uh, Tay? Katie and I kinda need to change.” I said. She looked us up and down then nodded and said that she'll wait. Katie and I went to the changing rooms and started to change back into our clothes.

“What the hell, Emma! I don't want to watch the guys play football with Taylor!” Katie yelled.

“Well, sorry! I actually want to watch the guys play football and I didn't want to leave you alone and sure as hell didn't want to be alone with Taylor. She kinda scares the hell out of me.” I said while fixing my hair.

“I told you that the Taylor that we knew was gone.” Katie said while fixing up her make-up.

“Yeah, well, what the hell happened? Who the hell changed her?” I asked now fixing up my make and Katie was fixing her hair.

“I told you Emma. High school happened. Sometimes, high school changes you.” Katie said walking out of the changing rooms. So I grabbed my stuff and followed her. Taylor and the two other girls were standing there fixing up their make-up and hair.

“Let's go.” Taylor said and started walking towards the football field. Once we got there, the guys weren't out yet so we went up the bleachers and sat down. As we sat down, all the guys came out. I looked around for Jake and Jordan and found them both right away. All the guys were walking onto the field and their backs were to us so they hadn't seen us. The went to the coach and then they started running a few laps. Jordan saw me and we made eye contact, he waved and then started his laps. When Jake saw me, he winked and kept running.

“Did Jake Hile just wink at you?” Katie said to me really excited. I haven't told Katie about Jake yet because for one, she would want me to ask him but I am hung up on Jordan which I didn't want to tell her about and for two, she just broke up with her boyfriend. Wait, how does she know Jake?

“How do you know Jake?” I asked.

“Uh, he is one of the hottest guys in the whole school! It's pretty obvious, Emma!” she said. “So why did he wink at you?” Katie asked eagerly.

“Well, obviously because I am hot! Hot people go out with hot people!” I said kind of imitating the voice of Taylor. She couldn't hear us because she was sitting at the bottom of the bleachers so she could flirt with each guy that passed by. Katie and I laughed at my imitation for a while and then I told her all about Jake. Katie was so excited about these news and wanted every single detail so I told her everything from the beginning when we first met all the way to the end to when he told me 'I am never wrong, Emma.'

Once I finished telling my life story of Jake and I, all the guys were back into the changing rooms. Katie wanted to know more and offered me to go to her house but my parents wanted me to go home right away after school. They said we would eat dinner together as a family and that they had something important to tell me. I hope they weren't gonna tell me we were moving again. I liked being back, back with my friends, back in my house, in my room, going back to places that I use to go all the time. I wasn't ready to move again.

I didn't want to leave without seeing Jordan or Jake so I waited in front of the guys changing room for one of them to get out. Awkward thing was that they both came out at the same time, together.

“Hey Emma!” they both said and walked up to me.

“Didn't you have class?” Jordan asked me.

“Yeah, I had Gym but skipped. Seeing you guys play was a lot better.” I said hitting Jordan on the arm and winked at Jake when Jordan wasn't looking.

“Well, I gotta go. See you guys later.” Jordan said and left.

“So, you wanted to see me play, did you?” Jake said raising an eyebrow.

“Hell yeah, seeing hot guys run around tackling each other, oh.” I said while fanning myself with my hand jokingly.

“So, you think I'm hot?” he said with one of those half-smiles again.

“Well, apparently, you are one of the hottest guys out of the whole school.” I said.

“One of the hottest guys? Hell no, I am the hottest guy.” Jake said still half-smiling.

“No, I don't think so...” I said with a wink. I checked my watch and realised that I should be already home by now. “And guess what, I am never wrong, Jake.” and with that I left. I drove home, once I arrived, I went up to my room. I started doing my homework and then called Katie.

 

“Hey Katie!” I yelled.

“Hey Em!” She yelled back.

“So I have more dets (details) for ya!” I said happily.

“Yay! Tell me, tell me, tell me!” she shouted, excited.

 

I told her about my conversation with Jake but didn't say anything about talking Jordan before or them coming out of the changing room at the same time or the wink I gave to Jake when Jordan wasn't looking. So, basically, I didn't mention Jordan at all. I really need to find out what happened between them soon.

 

“So you told him what he told you and then walked away like he did?” she asked.

“Exactly.” I said.

“You go girl!” Katie yelled.

“No one says that anymore but thank you anyways.” I said.

 

I could hear Katie's younger twins yelling in the background and then she told me that she had to go. I laughed then hung up. I went downstairs and saw my mom cooking in the kitchen and my dad on his computer, most likely working.

“Hi honey, dinner will be ready in an hour.”

“Okay,” I said while hugging my dad and giving my mom a kiss on the cheek. “I'll upstairs in my room then.” I said and headed upstairs back into my room. I haven't fully finished unpacking my things. I still had a box full of posters and pictures and other crap that I had to keep. I grabbed some of my posters and stuck them up on the wall. I took out a few pictures that I have had ever since I moved away. They were pictures of me, Katie, Taylor, and Jordan. I had a picture of us that was taken the day before I moved. We were sitting in our booth at Baskin Robin's and we all had ice cream all over our faces. We each got 3 ice creams that day because it was our last one of all of us together.

I always kept this one picture on my bed-side table, every single house, apartment, hotel room, I always had this one picture next to me on the bed-side table. Once I finished putting up my posters and picture frames, I went downstairs into the kitchen.

“Is food ready yet?” I asked.

“Yes dear, can you hand me the plates please?” my mom asked.

“Sure,” I answered and handed her the plates. She put a slice of lasagna on each plate and then handed them to me. I put them on the dining table and grabbed 3 forks and 3 knives. I set them out and sat down at my seat. My dad was already sitting at the table but he was using his laptop and was working. “Honey, could you pleas put that away? Dinner is ready.” my mom said to my dad. He nodded and closed his laptop. He pushed it aside as my mom sat at the tale. We started eating and then I got too anxious and curious.

“What did you guys need to tell me?!” I yelled out of nowhere. My parents both looked at each other then nodded their head once.

“Uh, sweetie, you know that I have been working really hard lately,” my dad started saying. I nodded my head in acknowledgment so he could continue, “I have been offered a big job.” he said.

“Please don't tell me that we're moving again. We
