Chapter 20 - Breeze Of Life

Lisa and Emma sat down again to talk. "The fact that you aren't taking this stuff seriously is making me worried" Lisa said.

"What am I not taking seriously?" Emma asked, knowing fully well what Lisa was talking about but decided to play dumb.

"Are you crazy or what? Don't tell me you don't know the dirty rumors going on behind your back"

"What rumors?" Emma said suddenly becoming serious about her conversation with Lisa.

"Hashstag #slut dating cousins, literally everybody are talking about this, don't tell me your friends didn't tell you".

Emma was totally distraught. "How can they say things they didn't witness"

"I can't believe we are twins, don't you know how the world works? They prefer to believe the lies and condemn the truth, why do you think celebrities suffer a lot of set backs"

"Eric was only helping me remove something from my breast pocket and that was it" Emma quietly sobs.

"Crying won't solve anything, just go with the flow soon all this will just pass by like the Mico and Breanna situation"

"If someone hears you they would think you senior me, meanwhile you came out twenty minutes later"

"Yeah am way smarter than you are, I have somewhere to be now, let's talk later okay"

Emma walked through the whole listening to people had to say to her which was in no way directed at her, she was bold and strong so she could easily waive off statements made about her that are untrue.

The problem here was that a once innocent school where almost everybody minded their business now gossips here and there. It was a shameful act upon Freesville and The Overseer is to be blamed!

"Hi, am Trisha but you can call me Trish now since we are buddies" a short haired brunette sat opposite Emma while they were having their breakfast.

"Trisha or Trish what exactly do you want?" Velma asked.

"Nothing other than being friends" Trisha flashed a fake smile to Emma's direction.

"Too bad, we don't need anymore friends, do check back or don't either way we will still be fine" Victoria smile.

"How does my hair look?" Trisha asked.

"Why ask us that?" Velma scrunched her nose up.

"That's because hot Eric is coming over here, he's been a crush of mine since Flynn rejected me". Trisha confessed without hint of regret, she arranged her already arranged hair, she also crossed her leg and waited.

When Eric eventually came to their table, Emma did well so he could sit with her, they chatted like no one's watching.

She asked about how he was doing, something she did earlier two hours ago to be precise. The advise Lisa gave her after she was caught coming out of his tent had taken a flight and left Emma

"Trish here" Trisha waved her hand so she could be noticed. When Eric responded she took up the opportunity to seat at the right wing of his side as she flaunts her hair and beauty.

"If you are not doing anything I think we should play some volley ball after this or maybe in the afternoon whichever pleases you" Trisha said grabbing on to Eric's arm, Eric didn't even bother taking her arm off.

"Emma are you going to play?" He asked in hopes that she says yes, Trisha was at the side giving Emma the look and silently pleaded at her.

"Not really but I wouldn't mind trying" she said.

"Don't worry I will teach you, just stick with me" Emma nodded as it was confirmed she would play.

Trisha couldn't contend her excited as she was extremely delighted. "Great! I would ask some other friends if they could join"

"Velma, Victoria and Elvis would you mind joining us?" Eric asked since they were obviously left out of the entire conversation.

They all agreed they would join, Trisha left them to gather a few other friends that would join them. The game was about to start, Emma ran back to change into something convenient for the game.

Some students gathered around to watch them play, they game should have commenced but there was few problems, which was that Trisha wanted to be grouped alongside Eric but things didn't go in her favor, no one in Eric's team had agreed to switch places with her including Emma and so she had to stick to her.

The game quickly ended as soon as it started, Trisha anger had gotten the best of her and thereby making hit the ball harder, this made the ball hit directly at Victoria's face.

Although, Victoria ended up been fine the game was further cancelled for safety purposes which left Trisha distraught over this. She'd finally wrapped her hands around Eric and then she blew it.

After that incident between Flynn, Eric and Emma, Emma and Flynn haven't spoken to each other despite Flynn's effort. Emma walked alone to the river which was a long walk from the camp, she decided to take this walk despite all difficulties cause of the things going on in her little complicated mind.

She sat at the shore thinking to herself, the cool breeze was refreshing on her skin. It wasn't long before someone joined her.

"You came here all alone" he sat beside her.

"Why are you following me?" Emma quickly got up to leave but a strong hand held unto her.

"You came here to clear your mind, you shouldn't leave without leave without doing so, I would leave instead".

"No, I have been hard on you of late I don't know what is going through me, let's watch the sunset together"

They sat together without saying a word, Flynn wanted to say something but he didn't want to ruin what they are already sharing right now.
