Silver Moon

Chapter 3

Emma ran inside and almost leaped out of joy when she realized that the house was empty. She went into her room, fell on the bed and started crying. “How could he do this? Why would he? I mean I know he’s always with them but i never thought he would actually sleep with them… What is the matter with him, what’s the matter with the entire male race? Must they sleep with everything? Why cant they notice when true love is standing infront of them? Why do i even care? Its not like he’d ever notice me or have feelings for me. I’m just so fed up with everything. I really am” Bea cried for some minutes more and then fell asleep. She woke up to an unpleasant yet familiar feeling and she didn’t even bother to get up, she just laid there and let everything happen.

Meanwhile..

Miles opened the door to his room, threw his backpack on the chair and fell on the bed. “why did she slap me? What did i do? This time? Did she hear about Kai and i hooking up? No she wouldn’t.. I mean, i asked the guys not to tell her. It’s not like she’d stop me or anything but i just don’t think she would approve of me doing it in school.. Wait did i just say ‘Approve’? (chuckles) she’s not my mom but then it was a one time thing and kia looked so sexy today i just had to hit that. But why was she angry though? And come to think of it, who was that i***t who walked in on kia and i getting it on? Like i was about to hit a whole new level of ecstasy and them the door opens up.. To add it up, the person wouldn’t leave till I said something. Some people are just creeps but I’m thankful it wasn’t Emma. I guess I’ll just call her later and find out what’s wrong” Miles said but he couldn’t call her back that night because after he had dinner, he was so exhausted from him “after school activity” that he was out the moment his head touched his pillow. It was a long night but Miles enjoyed every bit of it. The next day he had basketball ball practice with his team at school and then was meant to go meet up with Kai later that night so the thought of calling Emma didn’t cross his mind till the next day when he had to pick her up for school. She had texted him saying that her car was bad and would be at the mechanic for some time to which Miles agreed to drive her to and from school every day.

When Miles pulled up to her house, he called her phone but it went straight to voicemail which was seemed strange too him but just as be was about to honk his horn, the door opened and Emma walked out of the house, closing the door behind her. She was wearing a black turtle neck with jeans and wore her hair in a messy ponytail. Miles was about to say something but he stopped when he noticed that she was walking with a limp. He decided to wait till she was inside the car before he would ask her what happened. Emma opened the door, got in the car, dropped her bag at the back, closed the door before turning to acknowledge the concerned face of her best friend “what?” she asked. “ oh.. Uh.. Nothing.. Uhmm.. Two questions.. 1,what happened to your phone and 2..why are you limping” Miles said while starting the car and pulling out of her driveway. “oh..that..I wasn’t able to charge my phone last night and as for my leg.. Let’s say the mini concert I was having in my bathroom this morning wont be getting an encore” Emma replied with a serious face before she started laughing and after looking at her for sometime, Miles joined her. They talked and laughed some more before they got to school but before they went their separate ways, they agreed that they would meet up at the front of the school then drive home together. The day went by quickly but when Miles got to their agreed meeting point, Emma was nowhere to be seen. He figured she might be stuck in class or something so he decided to wait in the car but after what felt hours, he decided to go look for her but he still couldn’t find her. He asked some students he found in the hall but no one had seen her and it was at this point that he got worried. He tried calling her phone but then he remembered that she had talked about not being able to charge her phone the previous night. Miles drove to her house and knocked at the door but there was no response. After standing there for fifteen minutes, he decided to go home, change his clothes and then go out to look for her. He drove home in a hurry and stormed into the house but stopped at the door when he saw who was sitting on the couch in the living room.

“Hey, what took you so long, you’re about to miss the best part of the show”Emma said before taking a handful of popcorn from the bowl in front of her and putting it into her mouth. Miles just stood at the door looking at her as she stuffed her face with popcorn. Emma turned and noticed that Miles was still standing at the door. “what’s the matter?” she asked briefly taking her eyes off the television to look at him and looking back at it. “want some? “she asked while extending the bowl of popcorn towards Miles but she still doesn’t take her eyes away from what she’s watching. “You’re just unbelievable” Miles says before walking into the house and moving towards his room before slamming the door behind him.
