Emma Pov   The bouncing of basketballs and the screeching sounds of sneakers against the floor could be heard as I walked through the basketball court. After a long day of boring classes, it was time for tryouts. "Hey Emma, you're here did you prepare a routine for us?" Mandy asked me. "Yes I did, but it's nothing major," I told her. Surprisingly I wasn't as nervous as I thought I was. Okay great then let's get started, show us what you got. The routine I did had a couple of flips and slutty movements. I had to do it that way because that's basically what cheer is. I heard the noises behind me stop but a second later it was replaced with whistling and clapping. "Get it, girl!" One guy shouted. I finished my routine with a flip of my hair so I could see exactly who was watching. Mainly to see if Carter was there watching. He stood at the entrance, it seemed as though he reached just in time to see me perform. I give

Emma Pov     "So when I was about to beg coach to let me on the team, he throws me my basketball Jersey. I was in shock. He said that I am an asset to the team." Tristan told me as we made our way inside the house. He decided he'll let me know everything that happened to him during the day. He blabbered a lot about unnecessary stuff. The only good thing he said was about him making the team.  "That's great! I wonder who's going to be the star player? You or Carter?" I asked teasingly. "What? Carter's good, so I've heard but he's not on my level. I don't know why they brought him hair. There are two scholarships and I'm getting one." He said annoyed walking up the stairs. "I have never seen you play well. I have seen Carter play and he's really good." I told him. Tristan looked back at me, stopping at the top of the stairs, "I will show you how good I can play. How about we bathe and change and go over to

Emma Pov Carter had this way about him. He was super kind and funny. He was smart, respectful to everyone even that one teacher who hated darker skin students. No one had the right to like that damn teacher. Everyone fucking liked him, including me and that was a big problem.I didn't know when it happened. I just woke up one day, went to school then saw his face and in an instant, I was smiling like a love-struck dummy.I think it was the fact that he brushed off every girl that told him they like him. He only had eyes for me even tho I brushed him off at his party. I was a mess and I had no trustworthy friends to talk to anymore. Fuck, I missed Crissy.Cheerleader friends was an absolute no. They were gossipers, no secret was safe with them. For the past two weeks I made two new, well not so new friends, Erica and Victoria.They were my friends at the beginning of high school, but we grew apart. We were put in a group of four for a

Emma Pov   Flash forward two months, Tristan and I were in a good place. No fights, no jealousy rants, everything was great except for the part where I haven't told him the truth about Clarke and Carter. Every time I get the chance, Tristan will do something super sweet, which made me chicken out from saying anything. It was an absolute nightmare. Carter had also raised up his charm game, he was even sweeter than he was before. Thanksgiving was coming soon and Ms Simmons wanted to have dinner. She told us to invite our friends. I was a bit sceptical about how everything will turn out, but I still invited my two friends Victoria and Erica. Tristan invited two of his friends from the basketball team, Josh and Mike. I honestly wanted my parents to come to dinner with me. I missed them a lot and they barely called. Every time I called they say they were busy. That was a bit funny to me because they got new jobs to have more time for each other. What

Emma Pov   We arrived at the court Tristan's mom was going to get married in. Walking into the room we saw her in a long fitted white dress with her hair in a bun and mini vail. Clarke was with her, wearing a light grey suit and tie, his hair flowed perfectly in front of his face and his eyes sparkled like never before.  This was the sight of true love. It's amazing the way love works, you never know who you can fall for. It can be a good person or it can be someone with a really long daring past and a dangerous future ahead. Love doesn't care about anything once you're willing to make things work and be happy, everything will be great. We walked in and greeted them, soon after the pastor slash lawyer slash family friend started reading their vows. The short ceremony was sweet and absolutely touching.After the ceremony, we all went to a fancy restaurant. Tristan told the waitress his mum just got married and they bought a beautifully
