Emma stood at a corner watching the confrontation between Eric and Flynn, she had wanted to ask what was wrong with Flynn but couldn't while she was deliberating on whether to go that's when Eric came to the picture.
"You shouldn't have returned you asshole!" Flynn shouted at his cousin who didn't seem the least bothered, Emma has now found Flynn's rival.
"Flynn is that how to welcome your brother, sorry I mean cousin, you look threatened...."
"Why are you here?" Flynn asked.
"The coach needed me so I came running, I heard you bailed on them again, the attention you are being given must be getting to your head"
"Shut up or I will shut you up"
"Why don't you try" Eric challenged.
"Your offer seems tempting but I'd rather decline, you of all people shouldn't dare me cause what I will do to you, you will regret it" Flynn walked out on him.
Eric winked at Emma before he left, her legs felt like jelly cause she'd been caught.
Flynn visited Mico at the infirmary to see how he was doing, there he met Ivy and Levi, Breanna too was there, she sat at the bed side holding his hands.
"Flynn are you alright?" Mico asked.
"I should be asking you that, you don't look good what did the doctor say" he said
"He is going to be fine" Breanna said as she kissed his forehead.
"I heard Eric is back, how are you holding up" Levi asked this time.
"I am fine, Mico take care of yourself alright" Flynn left. He saw Emma standing outside the medical center and so he approached her.
He first tapped her so she could turn to him. "You've been following me do you have anything to say"
Emma hesitated for a while before she responded, "I saw you an Eric having an argument"
Flynn eyes suddenly turn dark. "What did you hear?" He aggressively pressed her shoulder.
"Stop it" she pushed him and quickly rubbed place he hurt. "I only followed you to ask if you were fine, I guess I shouldn't have" Emma turned to leave.
"Wait! Am sorry, let's sit and talk" he said, his anger subsiding.
"Okay, that bench over seems fine to me" she pointed at the bench under a tree. They both sat, Emma waited for him to speak but he didn't instead he stared at her. "If you are going to keep staring, then I should leave"
"Why are you in a haste to leave?"
"Unlike you I have better things to do"
"Like your boyfriend"
Emma hissed. "I know I should never had bothered" she got up but he held her hand and pulled her back.
"I know you are concerned about me....."
"Who said?" Emma asked of course to piss Flynn off but he didn't react rather he went on.
"I can't tell you more about what you saw but I will plead your indulgence that you do not put any meaning to it" he plead.
"Well..... It's going to cost you a lot for my silence" she brought out her hand signalling what sort of price he was going to pay.
"Really name your price" Flynn played along. They both spoke for an hour forgetting what they came to school for, Emma found herself breaking the barriers she had set between her and Flynn, she laughed at every joke of his and slowly found herself in an embrace she never saw coming from Flynn. She could feel as if her heart was about to beat out of her chest, his mere smell of him was familiar but different in a good way.
"Flynn..." She tried to pull out of the hug which was already giving her a hard time in breathing, not because the hug was tight it was because she couldn't stand the new feeling erupting out of her chest.
"One moment" he huskily breathed on her neck which made goose pimples stand on Emma's skin. The hug lasted for another minute with Emma struggling to pull out, he later let go and a sense of regret flushed through him like he should've held on more despite her resistance.
Emma cleared her throat. "I should take my leave, I already missed two classes" her feet quickly covered hundred steps away from him.
The day of the pep rally finally came, Lisa's hardwork shall be put on display. She had been busy all through____ maybe too busy as she had forgotten she has a boyfriend.
Breanna seem happy today, her smile was so wide that one might even think that she has a plan underneath her sleeve. She actually was smiling at the fact that Mico was getting discharged today.
"I hope you missed me" was sent anonymously to everybody's phone as notification blared, some ignored it and rated it as spam, majority was really scared as to who sent it.
After a while another message was sent, it read "Be careful about the friends you keep". This time things just got real, if you weren't panicking before you will now.
The cheerleaders were the only absent minded people in school as they were too busy with their performance today.
Another anonymous message was sent again. "4" multiple were written on it, if you are very smart you would know what it meant. The cheerleaders still didn't know what would happen at the very beginning of their performance but who was going to tell them since they refuse to meet anyone.
The agony for them to have to wait till Four before know what was going to happen was killing everybody who knew. Students couldn't wait for the bell to ring so they could rush to school Hall were the pep rally was to take place.
If you never thought of attending you would now, the hall was already filled even before 3:59, the cheerleaders thought that their performance must have excited everyone____ little did they know what was to come.
