-Emerald-
I begin thinking after I had agreed to go on a date with Declan. When did this happen? I was living in shadows since freshman year and now, all of a sudden, school's bad boy and school's most popular jock notices me. I was fine living the way I was but I'd ne lying if I say I don't like spending time with Brant. And Declan. Of course Declan. Obviously Declan. Pshh!
Trying and failing to convince yourself, hun?
I sigh. It's stupid. I'm stupid. Why did I even agree to stay away from Brant? He has helped me so many times. He cares for me. Most importantly, he makes me feel good about myself, confident even.
But what about Bernice? You've promised her. Don't back out on a promise, Emerald.
Damn it! I hate it. I hate being good. I hate being selfless. I hate myself. Most of all,
