Emily's POV;"Vegetable salad is actually good for health and it'll taste good too. If you take one bite, you'll start liking it." Mr Hamilton said while sitting beside me at the dining table. "It's fine. I'll just stick with my pasta. And, I hate salad." And continued eating my pasta on my plate."Have you tried it before?""No.""How can you hate something which you didn't try?" When he tried to put some vegetable salad on my plate, I stood up from the table along with my plate and said, "I'm moving to another seat if you put it on my plate." He pulled my hand to make me sit and said, "I won't do it. Sit here."I placed my plate on the table and took a seat beside Mr Hamilton again and looked at him. He turned my face towards the food and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to your college? Eat."While I was eating, I noticed Mr Hamilton taking glances at my face."Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked while eating my pasta. "You look good today." I coughed up on my food whic
Emily's POV;While I was waiting at the entrance for Mr Hamilton's arrival, Sarah asked, "Why is he late today?"I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know." And continued looking at the road."Did he tell you when he will be here?" "Yeah, he sent a message. He'll be here in Ten minutes." "Okay, then. I'll get going. Take care. See ya tomorrow." "Tomorrow's leave, baby.""Yeah, I forgot. I couldn't even remember what day it is after continuously having Ms kwon class for three days in a row.""Yeah, why did she even borrow Mr Brett's class by the way? His class was the only class I'm interested in.""What about Mr Johnson?""Don't start with me.""What about Ms Louisa, Mr brown, Mr Garry…"Before she finished, I asked, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you still here?"She pinched my ears while asking, "When did you start talking back to me? Is this because you got married? Do you think you're some matured woman?" "Ouch! Ouch! It hurts.""Say what you say when you beha
Emily's POV;I awoke in the middle of the night, not from a nightmare, but from my phone buzzing incessantly at my side on the bedside table. I groaned and took it away from the charger, only to see Asher's name on the screen. Asher? I realised it wasn't my phone that was vibrating, but Mr Hamilton's. Why is he calling now? is something wrong?When I tried to wake Mr Hamilton, who was sleeping soundly next to me with his arm protectively thrown over me, he only grunted softly in response, so I decided not to wake him up for this. Instead, I picked up the phone and answered the call. Before I could say hello, Asher began speaking quickly, not giving me time to respond. The urgency of the situation was heightened by the tone and volume of his voice. "I don't have time to explain it over the phone, so please come to my house immediately." Asher hung up without waiting for my response.Should I go ahead and tell Mr Hamilton? No, Mr Hamilton didn't sleep well last week due to a work issue,
Emily's POV;The morning started like most mornings, walking up to the empty bed and the room. I got up from the bed to get ready for another day of college. I heard a knock on the door."Coming!" I called out to whoever it was before opening the door. "Yeah?" I said with tired eyes as they greeted me with a warm smile."Don't you have college today?" Keith asked me standing in front of me."I do, why are you asking?" I asked back after letting out a yawn."It's 8 am.""huh!? is it 8 already?? I didn't even check the time when I woke up!" I answered frantically looking at my phone. I had a missed call from Madison and a message from Carter. It said that classes start at 8.30 am. I forgot that I had a class in the morning. "oh shit..." i sighed looking down at my messy hair. "shit, fuck, i'm gonna be so late to class" i yelled as i rushed to get dressed in jeans and a hoodie. i could hear him laugh behind me. "What's so funny?". I asked, turning towards him."nothing, nothing, you ju
Emily's POV;On the day of the trip,Mr Hamilton was not there to say goodbye on the day I was leaving, since he had gone to the workplace earlier that day. Even when he was ignoring me, he never skipped eating with me, but he skipped breakfast. Does he believe I'll question him again about the kiss? I regret asking him about it."Shall we leave, mam?" Keith inquired. I looked around for my baggage, and he said, "I've already loaded them into the car, mam. Let's go."I nodded, changed my shoes, and walked to the car. I gazed at my phone the entire ride, waiting for Mr Hamilton's call or message. But there were none. Did he forget I was leaving on a trip today? My phone rang. I thought it was from Mr Hamilton but no, it's not from him. It was Madison. I knew she would yell at me for being late so I didn't answer the phone.We eventually arrived at college. Keith went to get the trolley, so I got out of the car with my backpack. When I attempted to take the trolley from him, he said, "
Emily's POV;Dylan, Luke, and I returned to the campsite after gathering enough wood and sticks for the fire. "Do you need any help starting the fire?" asked the guide. I tried to ignore it, but it angered me, so I got up and asked, "Do we look like we need help? Or do we appear incapable of doing anything on our own?" "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to leave after showing us around the campsite?" Madison tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Em, don't be rude." And turned to the guide, saying, "Thank you for offering your assistance, but we must do it ourselves. It is also a part of our activities." He nodded and walked away once Madison finished speaking. Madison inquired, "What was that?" after he left. "If you're having mood swings, deal with it on your own. Don't cause harm to others." Carter approached us and announced, "Meat, eggs, and vegetables are ready for cooking." "How about that fire?" "Did you finish making a fire?"Madison, "Almost. Bring the ingredien
Emily's POV;The second day at camp began with a bang when everyone awoke early and began their daily ritual, however I found it tough due to the time I slept the night before. Madison approached me while I was brushing my teeth as my initial routine and said, "You, me, and Dylan are grouped together for the fishing activity."I paused brushing my teeth and inquired, "Only three people?""There are two groups of three people each. Mike, Sarah, and Brian are in the opposing group." "Get ready quickly.""And how about breakfast? I haven't had anything yet.""That's why we're going fishing, Em." And she dashed away from me. I kept cleaning my teeth. I looked around and saw Mr Johnson talking with my classmates, but I couldn't find the guide. He seemed to have actually left. When I'm finished, Luke approached me as I was putting on my boots and said, "The guide left this morning after informing Mr Johnson.""Why are you telling me about this?" I questioned, looking up at him."Aren't yo
Emily's POV;The vacation ended, and I returned to Mr Hamilton's house at 7 a.m. I expected Mr Hamilton to be in his bed, but instead found him seated on the sofa, sipping his morning coffee and staring at his laptop. As I followed Henry who carried my luggage into the house, I tried to escape upstairs before Mr Hamilton recognized me, but he shouted my name and asked, "How did the trip go?"I'm always shocked when Mr Hamilton strikes up a discussion with me, but not today. I nodded and attempted to climb the steps.Mr Hamilton yelled out my name again, which caused me to come to a halt, and he approached me, saying, "I know you're not a quiet person. You'll keep talking about college stuff even if there isn't anything to talk about, but you went on a five-day trip but don't seem excited about it. Is everything fine?""I'm fine," I said, a little uncomfortably. "I'm just tired from the journey."He gave a nod and said, "Okay, go to your room and take a rest.""Do you have college today
Emily's POV;Mr Hamilton said, "At eleven, I was sent to a foster care after my parents passed away. Even though my family is pretty big, no one took me and I was left to fend for myself in foster care. After six months of being on my own, I saw you. You looked lost and someone took advantage of it and bullied you. Colton and his friends. I saw and walked away. But one night, I saw you looking at the moon like it's the only thing in the world with you. The next day, I stood for you against Colton to make you realise that there's another person in this world too. Since then, you started tagging along with me wherever I go. We started eating and playing together. The orphanage which felt like a prison once turned a warmer place for me since you were there beside me. You said you wanted me to be your first kiss and we kissed. You become closer to my heart. That's when I fell in love with you, Em. Suddenly, I couldn't find you anywhere. When I asked the woman who was in-charge, she told me
Emily's POV;While I was clearing the leaves in the garden along with the children, Jake asked, "Emily, What's for today's breakfast?" I squatted down to his height and asked, "What do you like to have?"Jake came closer and whispered into my ears, "I heard Samantha likes oatmeal. Could I please have that for breakfast today?"I stood up straight and smiled at him, "Sure thing, kiddo." Then as he ran away from me, I added under my breath, "And you better stay away from Samantha. You're too young to be in love, kiddo."Peter pulled my skirt."Yes, Peter?""You said there's no appropriate age to fall in love in last night's bedtime story.""That is correct. Well, let's keep it a secret between us. Now, what do you want for breakfast?" He looked around for a moment and said, "Can I get Fruit pancakes?""Alright. Go and inform Lance that I asked him to prepare normal pancakes and fruit pancakes for breakfast." He ran off into the house while I was clearing the garden along with other k
Emily's POV;“You have to promise me that you will do everything that I tell you to.” I say, holding up my pinky finger. Emily looks at my hand for a moment before she sticks her own out to match. We lock our pinkies together and shake as if it’s an unspoken pact. “And no lying!” I add. Emily smiles back at me and nods. “Yes ma’am!” She says. The two of us burst into laughter at our childishness. “Do you really think that your parents would be happy with me?” Emily asks. I shrug, not wanting to lie to her. After all, we are both girls in the same class. If anyone finds out about our relationship, then so will her mother. “I don't know. You'll just have to take care of yourself.” I reply. After that, we both look over at Morgana who is currently playing around with some pieces of paper. He must have gotten bored because he has now decided to start writing something down. Emily giggles and reaches out to touch his head. “He doesn't look like someone who gets bored very often.” She comm
George Hamilton's POV;I took Emily to a restaurant and we started talking about our future. She wanted to be the CEO of her own company one day and I was planning on running for congress in four years time, but first I had to make it to my third term in office. I've been working nonstop on this campaign for three months now and finally, everything is going according to plan. I told her that I would do anything to get elected as president because if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met Emily and she was all I wanted, but Emily just laughed and said that I was going to run for president anyway so she didn't care. We went out to dinner after I dropped her off and talked more about us. We were sitting there on this bench outside and she asked me if I'd ever thought about marriage before. I told her that no, I hadn't really thought about any women besides my exes. And then I realized that I actually had never considered marriage. Not only did that shock me but it also made me feel l
Emily's POV; I was sitting down on the couch. The lights were dimmed and the room was dark save for a single lamp next to me. My head was resting in my hands, fingers interlaced together as I stared at the wall across from me. It was blank. Empty, devoid of any personality or anything that reminded me of life. Nothing but white paint that matched the rest of the walls.I heard the click of a door behind me and I turned my attention towards it. I saw the silhouette of a man standing there, his back facing me so he couldn't see my facial expression. He stood there for several minutes, silent, until I finally spoke up."What are you doing?"He didn't respond right away, just stood there in silence for a few more seconds before turning around to face me. His eyes were filled with sadness and he looked exhausted. A frown was present on his face and when he looked at me I could tell he wasn't in the mood for conversation. His face was emotionless and he didn't look too good either. The bag
Emily's POV;It was a quiet evening. A little after 5 o'clock, the moon was out, and the air had a cool bite to it that helped settle my nerves. As I walked up the hill towards home, I could just barely make out the faint sound of the ocean crashing into the shore in the distance. It was an unusually beautiful night for this time of year.The walk seemed to last forever, as I got closer and closer to home. The sun had set some time ago, leaving me in a deep silence except for my own footsteps. Even with no one else around, everything felt so peaceful.After turning into my driveway, I paused to catch my breath, taking the key out of my pocket and unlocking my door. I stepped inside my house, shutting the door behind me softly. As I entered the living room, my gaze fell upon a figure sitting on the couch, facing away from me. His hair glittered softly under the low light coming through the windows, and I took note of his profile as he turned his head slightly to face me.His eyes were
Emily's POV;I have always been interested in literature, not just about fantasy and science fiction, but about the other side of the coin. It's funny, how I never thought that something like this would ever happen to me. Not because I'm not a good girl or anything like that, it's just that I've had so much experience with relationships in my life and yet it feels as though this is the first time. I mean, yes, there have been guys at school who I've liked over the years, but those were all in highschool, right before college. After that, it was more of a case of if you're into me and I'm into you type deal. This is probably going to sound cheesy, but I think I might be bisexual. That means that I have two things in mind when it comes to guys – one being that they're hot and the other being that they want to date me.Anyway, that's why we're here today, on our first date.It' s the end of summer term, and we've both decided to drive down to San Francisco for the weekend, to spend the n
Emily's POV; a few days agoIt was late at night when the door to Emily's office opened, causing her to jump slightly. She turned around and saw her father standing there. His usually dark hair was now a lighter shade of black than what she had originally expected, and his eyes looked tired as he took in his surroundings. "Daddy?" He didn't respond, only walked over towards the small table next to her desk. She got up from her chair and followed him, not bothering with closing the door behind her as she did so. "What brings you here this time of night?"He sat down on one of the chairs and sighed deeply, rubbing his face roughly. "I need your help.""With what?" She asked cautiously, sitting down next to him."With your wedding." Emily blinked several times, surprised that her father knew about it. It wasn't like she ever told anyone else about it. In fact, she hadn't even told anyone except for Spencer... but they weren' t dating, were they?He shook his head and continued speaking
Emily's POV;I wake up to the sound of my phone going off. I grab it and see it is Emily that I'm currently sleeping with. As I check who the notification is from, I can tell it is her."Morning." I say through a sleepy voice as I answer the phone."Oh, good morning! Did you have a good night?" Emily asks in a bubbly tone. She loves waking me up like this."Yes...what time is it?" I ask as I glance at my watch which reads 7:40 am."It's 8am now!" Emily says happily. I smile and roll over onto my side."How did you know?" I ask her softly. I never thought I would ever be able to enjoy myself with someone like that. Sure, there were other people, but none of them could compare.She giggles before answering. "Because you called me this morning! Why are you up so early? You didn't wake me!""Yeah, sorry about that, I woke up because you kept calling me back and forth throughout the night." I admit.There was a slight pause on the other line before she replies."Really? Do you mind if we d
