James
Emerald and I had become much better at things that I started to feel it was permanent. She was a part of me, just like I was a part of her. We saw every another day and had fun like it was our last since she was going to busy for two weeks with school.
EmeraldJames had been given me a lot of distance, even after I was done with my tests. We conversed almost every day but basically just small talk. He hadn’t even spoken about meeting up with me anymore which made me kind of mad. At first, it made sense for me to busy myself too with something to avoid coming off as needy but since the semester was soon ending and I was most likely spending the summer break at Boston, getting a job wasn’t really necessary. But burying my head in amazing romance novels was an exciting sport. Two weeks and more of not seeing James or not being how we used to be went by pretty quickly and it hurt every time my heart ached or looking for a hideout spot away from Mimi to let it all out. This was basically how it ended in relationships, even though we weren’t in one. The couple drift away from e
JamesI knew I had recognized that voice from somewhere and wasn't proven wrong by the time I turned my neck to see it was Mimi, Emerald's friend that had called out my name with so much contempt. Riley shot me a confused look, probably thinking she was just a part of the many girls who were still mad cause I didn't reach out to them after one night of an encounter.
Emerald“I guess you guys are back again together, huh?” Mimi finally asked after hours of acting like it wasn't a thing. I obviously could see her eye movements as I texted on the phone, smiling. Or how many times she had adjusted herself on our living room couch.
Devin‘’We have only one goal today—show those freaking piss of shit what makes a winner!’’ Aaron shouted nodding while all member of the team were in a group hug. ‘’Fire wolf, we ‘ve got this.’’We raised our hand and cheered ourselves. Steve was sweaty and not his usual enthusiastic self on the court so I went toward him to tap his shoulder.‘’Hey,’’ I said and turning my neck to see who else came in, I sighted Coach Diaz walk into the room. ‘’You okay?’’He gulped, rubbing his palms together. ‘’Yeah, I guess.’’I was going to talk more before Diaz called for our attention to tell us something we didn’t al
MimiSmiling down at Emerald and Devin and watching them converse even though they couldn’t see me, my eyes and his made contact and I grabbed rushing out of the court as he ran toward me.‘’Mimi, wait!’’ he begged and I put a hand on my forehead to disguise from the people now watching the scene.Why had I come there with Emerald in the first place or most importantly, why the heck was I running away like I was the one in the wrong?Savoring in a breath, I halted to compose myself before turning back. I had no reason to run because I had seen a piece of shit I had thought was better than the o

Emerald‘’Have you thought about what you want to do after college?’’ Flora asked and I squinted, holding my phone to my ear tightly and wondering why she sounded more like my mom than someone her age.‘’Yes, of course. It’s the reason I am studying. Probably going to end up at some radio station or work at a cable news where all we talk about is the president all day long,’’ I said and we both laughed. I closed and opened my eyes and realized that I really didn’t know where I was going to end up. Staring at the walls of the apartment me and Mimi shared, I was filled with a certain feeling of joy. My future wasn’t planned out. Hell, I didn’t even know what I was doing at college if not waking up every day and moving among with the pack of people
DevinI was stuck between calling her phone or just knocking on her door as I stood in front of her apartment block, clueless. Emerald was yet to text me even though we had set the time and date for our meeting together, which by the way I wasn’t sure where she wanted to go. Sitting at a restaurant had become a little out of fashion for me and I wanted try something new like go on a boat ski.I laughed, shaking my head together with the thoughts that occupied it. A movie would be better for a calm evening. Brushing my hair back with my hands, I licked my lips before knocking on the door. Every time I saw her, my heart was happier and I could envision her opening the door with a giant smile on her face, looking radiant with her glowing skin, a beautiful face I could wake up seeing every day and not get tired of.
