Emma's POV
Oh wow, is it just me or is Jake taking a liking to Ana? How cute. I'd kill him though if he were making empty flirts cause I could tell he was seriously having an effect on my girl.
Jake stepped out of the car and came over to Ana, taking her by her hand and leading her to the passenger seat while we stared in awe.
"You don't even know where I live" Ana finally bursted out just before he put her in his car while he smirked and replied "That wouldn't be hard, I'll find out today"
"How so?"
"You'll be telling me obviously" he said chuckling as he led her into the car, turned round, waved me off, entered the car and rode off.
What just happened?
"Well is it just me or did your boyfriend just leave you for your friend?" Pete teased me
"That wasn't Jace, that was his brother Jake" I argued defensively.
"OMG you didn't even argue that he's not your boyfriend, things must be serious now"
"No it isn't, we're not dating, urggg" I groaned and Pete laughed.
"But how do they look so as alike, twins?"
"Yh, twins."
"I haven't seen Jace around, anything happened"
"I wonder what then" I sighed.
"Isn't it all just funny, you came like a flash of lighting but stayed on like you were glued to me. I could have sworn we were just friends and there was no way there could be more. So how am I in this position where I can't stop thinking about you all day long. Isn't it all just funny" Pete and I sang along to one of his songs as we rode home.
"Alright Em, I'll see you tonight, probably pick you up from your training center so you don't give us a scare again" Pete said and I chuckled. He waved me off as he drove away, he had an appointment with his manager, something about doing a collaboration with a hot college mate.
I went into the house and straight for the kitchen, I was so hungry, I could eat an entire pig, 'literally or figuratively was yours to figure out'. Unfortunately instead of a meal well cooked and served for me, I met a note, "You've got to be kidding me"
"Hey sweetie, sorry I've been a little bit too busy today, do you mind getting some groceries for us, I wrote you a list, I'll be back by 6, thanks, signed mom" I read the note and looked at the list attached to it, it was a pretty long list.
How on Earth was I gonna cope with all that load, sigh. I dropped my bag and took out the family card from one of the kitchen drawers and made my way to the nearest supermarkets.
I'd have loved to hit a restaurant first but I didn't really have that much time, it was past 5 already, I'd just buy a burger and juice at the supermarket.
Picking my goods in the supermarket was simple enough, I had a cart, but outside the supermarket the reverse was the case. I was having trouble holding on to all my baggage.
Trying to steady the bags, one fell off in the process, oh shit, hold that thought, just before it hit the ground someone else caught it, oh what a relief.
"I think you need an extra hand, literally" he said with a chuckle.
"Uhh?" I looked up at the person who saved my burger and milkshake, bubble gum flavoured, weird flavor but I was in love with it.
"Wills!? Right?" I asked with a spketical look since I wasn't so sure while he laughed at my expression, it wasn't a funny expression.
"Where you headed, I could give you a hand"
"Urmm that's fine, I'm heading home, I'll just take a cab"
"You stay at around 4th avenue street right?"
"Yes, how do you know that?" I asked quite shocked while he laughed again, what was his deal, I wasn't having a comedy show here.
"Chill, I'm not a stalker, I stay some blocks away so I've seen you around"
"Ohhh"
"Now give me that, this is no distance to take a cab" With this he shove's almost all my bags outta my hand, leaving just a few with me. He didn't even act like he was carry anything while I was literally outta breath already.
We threw light conversations about everything and nothing until I got home, that was actually faster than I expected, probably because he takes very long strides and I have to run-walk to catch up.
"Thanks, I stay here" I said with a smile while his smile faded as he looked across then back at me
"You both really a thing" he said with a stern look while I looked behind him to see who he was talking about.
It happened to be Jace, of course, Jace sat on his step watching us intently with a frown, why was his angry. "Urmm not really"
"Not really? You don't even sound sure" Wills questioned again
"We're not" I answered back, I looked over to Jace but he was already heading inside so I faced Wills who had his smile back on his face.
"Thanks again" I said to Wills
"It's my pleasure, see you in school" he replied walking off. I looked over to Jace's house, what was this weird feeling, why did it feel weird seeing him frown.
Was it really the frown? Or is it because it was directed at me? Urggg whatever I don't care, I carried the grocery bags inside the house, mom wasn't back since it wasn't 6 yet.
I hurriedly ate the burger and milkshake, took a shower, grabbed my bag which had things I needed at the training center and left home. I took a cab, I was already late, shoot.
I ran into Jake, Matty and Felix as soon as I got to the training center.
"Oh look, it's Jace's crus..." Felix started but stopped when he got hit on the rib by Jake's elbow, that looked intentional.
"I mean Emma" he said at last
"Hi Emma" Jake said as they got closer to me
"How's your nose? does it still hurt?" Matty asked
"I'm fine now, thanks"
I smiled at them all, they were just cute, no I'm not talking about their look but their character, they were like adorable children who always hung around and made you have a longing to want to be with them, but someone wasn't here.
"What about Jace?" I asked all three boys
"Why? do you miss him" Felix teased with a grin
"It's nothing like that, you're always together so I'm curious since he's not here"
"OMG I need a girlfriend before I'm considered gay for always hanging out with these guys" Felix groaned earning him a small smack on the head from Matty while Jake gave a little smile.
"He's not here and won't be coming" Jake finally answered.
"Why?"
"He's feeling a bit under the weather"
"He's sick?" I asked alarmed without realizing it
"No no, not sick, he's just very moody"
"Oh that's sad, well I gotta run, I'm kinda late already"
"Oh shoot, me too, Miss Harley is gonna kill me" Matty half yelled as he ran off leaving us behind, I bade the boys goodbye and left too.
What was this heavy feeling, dance couldn't even shake it off. I'm certain I saw Jace with his training bag then, he can't possibly be avoiding me right? Why on Earth do I even care, man this is frustrating.
For the first time, I prayed my training would end faster, I just wasn't feeling it, I needed to go home. I picked up my bag and headed for the door ignoring my teachers call, I was gonna be in so much trouble for this.
What the hell was going on with me right now?
